Lockdown 19

….been poking about for stuff to show you all…

…tried dredging the sketchbook and most everything in there is part of an ongoing secret project with a planned “big reveal”….

…except for this….

…was becoming concerned with the polls for the American Presidential election…(yeah…remember that?)….and thought I should possibly drift towards commenting in words and pictures….(haven’t done that for awhile)….

…finally had to lean on Shepard Fairey’s masterpiece from awhile ago….

….but, decided to leave it to the professionals…(surely Shepard has already thought of this)….

….(surely)….

The Waihopai Spy Base Of Your Dreams

…is it my imagination or is our governments (and yours, dear foreigners) attitude towards surveillance, the doing of & the tech for the doing, similar to that of a 13 year old boy with his first handful of porn?…Scan 93

 

…Waihopai, GCSB, PRISM….if-your-not-being-bad-you-don’t-need-to-worry….

…for those of you who aren’t from around here,…the Waihopai Spy Base is an American sponsored thorn in our NZ asses…

…not ours, not necessary, not giving me a stiffy, not going away any time soon.

…wow, you made it this far… I wasn’t sure you’d join me here…

…er… it has been my experience that 4 out of 5 people read “Fatc**t” as “Fatcat”…

…it isn’t…

…still with me?

…picture if you will the “artist” in is 6th week of smoking cessation… to the concern (and amusement ) of his friends, family and peers he has become very manic in his speech and actions… he is continually thrashing around in his sketchbook working thru another set of cigarette-craving induced ideas…

…the fat floaty guys start to get an edge, the “artist’s” imagination dipped in post-tobacco-anti-governmental vitriol…

…describing all establishment suits as Fatc**ts had become a habit (TV news time in our house…the air is BLUE)…

…the idea for the Primer was only going to be a sample page… but “manic” took over and before I knew it I had the whole thing drawn…

…with all the moaning we do about them how come we never shoot the buggers?
