This is so incredibly exciting. I had no idea that there were other artists interested in spiritual qualities. It's what guides my art.

I've been busy teaching and unable to get onto FR to read much nor to make intelligent responses. If you make more cool posts like this, let me know. (Yeah, right...I haven't figured an easy way to do this post to those interested in future posts, but its worth a try.)

I'm about to comment on the lips urinals. Those are GREAT and so much better than Duchamp's recycled b.s.!!!

At least the lips were an innovation. Duchamp just took a found object and declared it "art" (a lowbrow/common item at that).

I read an interview with Billy Childish (who I already liked musically) and learned of Stuckism.

He does believe in God although he does not appear to subscribe to much of an institutionalized congregation. Even with that somewhat detached appreciation of God, the interviewer I read did not like his talk of God.

Billy Childish also distanced himself from socialism as a political movement. The interviewer seemed to already be counting two strikes against him in spite of his appreciation of Billy's body of work.

Create a PING list and post the names to your profile page. I maintain TWO such lists on mine (Rock and Roll and Houston PINGs) and have a link to a third such list (Media Bias) on An Amused Spectator's page.

Even if I PING people using your list, you can certainly maintain the list easily. I've gone to putting NEAR html code on my profile page so that very little typing is needed to send people to the right location.

Comic art is ART and it is shocking how few museums want to recognize this, let alone build a collection. Jazz age era comic strips (1920s) of Krazy Kat can still be purchased from the family for around $6,000 a Sunday. A BARGAIN in the art world.

I may start up a cartoon/comic PING list (editorial cartoons/comic strips/comic books/ and maybe animated shorts/films/tv series) although I don't know that my interests mimic those of other FReepers I see on the threads. I seem to read more ABOUT comics these days than I do actual comics (and those I do read are probably only published once or twice a year now).
