This one time I was standing in line at the Kohl's return counter. The woman ahead of me (she was probably 80) was returning a couple of big, colorful bras. When she was all set she turned, looked me square in the eye, and winked at me.

"War?" he said. "Yes!" Number Two gazed contemptuously at Ford Prefect. "On the next continent?" "Yes! Total warfare! The war to end all wars!" "But there's no one even living there yet!" Ah, interesting, thought the crowd, nice point.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

WAVE (1994) Acrylic on Canvas - 48” x 48” Of all the paintings hanging in my home, this one probably elicits the most comments. #art

An exponential curve expressed as a massive wave of green-blue water that climbs to vertical against a sky of puffy lavender clouds. Light breaks through the cloud cover just over the horizon casting a flat glare across rippling water before the wave climbs. Fin-like ridges emerge running up the wall give the water turbulence and dimension.
