Transmission #13: Hymenoptera Opera


YES HELLO, Reader!!!

Happy new y-era to you! Does it feel fresh, new and promising? Did you make some new y-era resolutions?

It's cool how self-initiation and the power to change our reality is available to us in every moment ov life. Simply changing our perspective has monumental implications on our psyche. Simply breathing deeply can create & destroy entire internal paradigms. We don't need the turn ov a new y-era to make big, lasting, life changes, but if the dawning ov the new y-era provides you with inspiration and momentum to make cool, self-loving evolutions, may you ACTUALIZE THE POWER YOU INNATELY POSSESS and may you SUSTAIN ALL YOUR EPIPHANIES.

I finished a piece this week and have something new and freshly glued to share with you! Cool!! Behold:

Hymenoptera Opera, indeed! I am so tempted to tell you all about the symbolism in this piece and the deep thematic elements... but instead ov a psycho-babble ramble about ARTE & MAGIC & LANGUAGE AS A VIRUS & ETERNAL LIFE & ALCHEMY & INSECTS & LOVE & JESUS CHRIST & DEEP ENCHANTING ESOTERICISM... I am just going to let you make up your own story and allow THE MUSE to give you her own message. A unique transmission JUST FOR YOU, Reader!! That's how ARTE normally functions, anyways. Feel free to write back and tell me what YOU see.

HEY I ALSO MADE ANOTHER RAD TIME LAPSE VIDEO. You will see a couple weeks worth ov footage in this compilation. Sadly, it is speckled with many abrupt endings and missing footage due to the ongoing battle with my iPhone storage capacity. A jolty chronicle ov creative spawning. This one is super fun and is set to The Stooges' 1970 from their Fun House album. You can see me noodling around with a piece, which has it's own mercurial life, but then I scrapped it entirely without glue because it wasn't melding and switched gears to drawing instead. It's cool, check it out! Listen to an undeniably cool ROCK N ROLL song that you probably already have good taste enough to LOVE and watch me give birth to ARTE.

Also, I'll point out that I sometimes get the pleasure ov utilizing beloved images more than once in my always-analog collages. Many ARTE compendiums publish the same great works, so there are many various versions printed on different paper with different ink from different y-eras and publication houses. I love rediscovering, cutting up & reusing images I have glued in the past. Here is a piece I made 8 y-eras ago that uses the same source material as one ov the clippings in the new piece above. Do you see her? What a studious icon.

I just LOVE how collage work teaches that context and environmental juxtapositions cause colorful shifts in our subjective connotation lenses. We see things based on a multitude ov happenstantial cofactors, making EVERYTHING malleable and up for interpretation & reimagining. Ascribing meaning to chaos is what our brains do best!

Speaking ov ascribing meaning to chaos, HERE, please enjoy a peek at some Automatic Drawings from my couch-side notebook that were scrawled this week.

Splendid! What a blessing to put a pen to paper and let stuff spill forth. I drew all ov that while listening to lectures about Neo-Platonism, Perennialism, Universalism & Unio Mystica. I am in a lil comparative theological philosophy hole, like I do.

Anyways, fam. When I think back on this challenging & chaotic circus week I am thankful for a multitude ov persons, places and things. Here are a few that readily come to mind: the cool new furniture I rescued from the trash, the crows that I fed unsalted peanuts to in the park, the people who inspire and encourage me to create & share my ARTE, Pelayo AF for sending me a handwritten snail mail letter, Zevi Slavin for blowing my mind with his eloquent lectures on Jewish mysticism, the dancing bear hidden in the Toblerone logo, Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) for being a prophet ov truth and so cool they burned him at the stake, and YOU for taking the TIME to read my transmissions. Thank you.

Okay, Reader. Friend. GOD. Cool Cat. Keep it cool & keep it real & keep it honest & kind & a little bit/entirely silly. HAVE FUN. HAIL SATAN. HAVE A LAUGH. DRINK WATER. MAKE ARTE. CUT YER TOENAILS.

BIG LOVE

GOLD BLESS YOU

JAI KALI MA!

YOUR FRIENDLY CYBERHOOD NEIGHBOR,

P.S. Here's a fun & empowering magical activity. Listen to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Netherlands Radio Choir perform Ludwig van Beethoven's GLORIA from Missa Solemnis while meditating on The Sun tarot card and praying to one ov the many shining Sun GODS: Apollo, Beaivi, Dielli, Eos, Helios, Hyperion, Huitzilopochtli, Jesus, Krishna, Legba, Lugh, Mithra, Pรคivรคtรคr, Ra, Rama, Semesh, Sol Invictus, Sunna, Surya, Tonatiuh, Usil, or Vishnu, TAKE YOUR PICK or meditate and pray to them ALL at ONCE. Sit with the sun (or LED therapy lamp) on your brow, close your eyes and meditate on blooming flowers and solar rays dancing through diamonds. Bathe everything in your consciousness with vivacious, truth-bearing, loving, cleansing LIGHT. Worship GOD and generate your own Sun from Within. I'm serious. Try it. It's bloomin'!

P.P.P.S.L.O.L. THIS ISN'T ABOUT SHOWING OFF MY FOOD, THIS IS ABOUT INTRODUCING MY IMAGINARY FRIENDS. MEET MISTER TOM SLOP! HE WAS A VERY HAPPY SLOP AND WE BOTH LAUGHED WHILE I ATE HIM. This is him smiling sweetly pre-feta face:

โ˜ป PEACE! ไธฐHHไธฐ โ˜ป

YES HELLO, Reader!!! Top ov the shortcake to ya! Once again I hail from the lush green paradise ov rural Eastern Tennessee, reporting from Mothership's home base. I am spending my TIME savoring birdsong and frog orchestras, sleeping in a massive screen room where the breeze is warm and cozy.

We've got our near-infrared sauna, hot tub, swinging chair, bean garden,...
