Lost.

Over the last week, me and Ryan had a really great staircase brainstorming session on the subject of Growthy and Sundial as Characters, and we suffered what COULD have been a tremendous setback had I not had the forethought to backup the Living Evil pictures, vocieovers, music and script! An unnamed person lost my flash drive, and I had to transfer the softwares etc., onto my backup drive, which I am currently doing.

——————————————————————

I dont know how often I have pointed out my favorite artists on here, but I am researching the artists whom I admire the most. I love all art to some degree, but my favoritess are below; With each person I have included one of their works which I enjoy.

RENE MAGRITTE — DECEASED — SURREALISM

Painting Pictured; Golconda.

SALVADOR DALI — IMMORTAL — SURREALISM.

Shirley Temple, The Youngest, Most Sacred Monster of the Cinema in Her Time

KEITH HARING — DECEASED — POP ART

FERTILITY NO. 5

FRANCISCO GOYA — DECEASED — OLD MASTER

Saturn Devours His Son

HO BARON — ALIVE — SURREAL SCULPTURE

Endangered Species, Bronze statue

And of course, my hero and unending muse, Andy Warhol, tragically deceased, father of pop art.

Green car Crash.

But the next artist is someone whom I have mentioned before on here, and he has become as much a mentor to me as an  inspiration, as well as collaborating with me on Living Evil. He is an Argentine painter, and he is really keeping the mental ideas of Surrealism alive and non-dated in his work.

RUBEN CUKIER — ALIVE — SURREALISM, Bio-construction.

Bioconstruction.

My call to Al Franken’s office

I made some business calls today, business as usual, just business, surrealism is my business and business is good. :)

I called to four different Al Franken senate offices, hoping to locate our liberal extraordinaire, whose book “Lies…” I just purchased secondhand a few days ago and am about to finish. I called the first, who told me I should message the media section of the Franken website. That is no help, so I called two others and left a message with the first, not even opting at the next. after two more entirely apathetic calls, I struck up a conversation with a gentleman named… well, fuck what his name was, I have it written down somewhere. He seemed rather genuine, and fielded my pointed questions with grace. So, in the nature of both comedy, and surrealism, I asked him to be on my cartoon.

We’ll see how that unfolds.

I also called Tom Laughlin, best known as Native American strong arm BILLY JACK!!!!!!!

Another thing, in closing, after that silly banter — people ask me if my days are really as slow as I make them out to be in some of these posts. The answer is no, I usually make about 35 to 50 business-related phone calls per day, plus 60-80 web searches, and about 40 emails per day. I am a busy man because I love what I do. Thank you, America. – Tom, aka Yanni Osmond, so-owner, Sunday Morning Animation
