The World As We Know It

This is from Steve.  He is my brother.  His artwork is not exactly linear in thought. s_davisart on Instagram, if you would like to contact him yourself and tell him how confusing his work is, as he won't listen to a damn thing I tell him.  What does it mean?  gets me a blank stare, and his pity for my lack of vision.  After all, I draw talking rabbits.  This is a talking donkey, so deal with it.  He also sent me this today, and tells me he has no idea what it means-






Philip Vincent.  "Lamentations of Germany".  Oh, I see.  Well, it seems that Mr. Vincent is English, but no one knows for sure anything about him.  The Lamentations is about the 30 years war, plenty of scope for some Extremely Interesting Reading here.  I have no idea what is going on in the above etching, but it don't look good.  Here is another from the Germany thing-






You can see where he is going with this.  The Thirty Years Imbroglio was pretty nasty, and cannibalism was part of the entire bad trip.  See "The Last Valley", Omar Sharif and Michael Caine.  Good movie, good history.  Spiked helmet fu.  Fortified castle frontal assault against cannons and wheelocks fu.  Gratuitous suspicious underling dead in ordure scene.  Omar Sharif as an itinerant professor.  Caine as a mercenary captain.  James Clavell wrote this.  J. B. Pick wrote the book.





Hiemat Hi-Jinks!

And would you get a load of Brian Blessed with the poignard!





Gott mit uns!

    You posted this on my birthday!!
    I liked Brian Blessed's hair and outfit, he was punk before there was punk! Alas, he got shanked way early on in the story.

Two Sides Of The Same Coin

 It was a lovely day in November.  At least Tom thought it was November, the air was crisp and cool and it felt Novemberish.  There were no calenders here, while he had a clock he rarely looked at it.  He never had to be anywhere at any particular time in any event, when he had to be somewhere he always showed up on time, if that's the word for it.  Anyway, it was a nice Fall day. Tom stood on his porch that surrounded the small field stone house, he could see and smell the smoke from his neighbor's fires, someone was cooking fish and the big cat was salivating.  Since he had had his coffee he wasn't hungry, but the fish really smelled enticing.  Odd, he thought, I haven't had meat since I got here.  When did I get here?  he thought to himself, I don't remember.  Maybe someplace in town sold meat, although he had never seen such a shop.  It didn't matter, what with the bread and potatoes and butter and honey he was never hungry.  Tom lit a cigarette

Two Angel Forms Were Seen To Glide

’Twas on a lofty vase’s side, Where China’s gayest art had dyed The azure flowers that blow; Demurest of the tabby kind, The pensive Selima, reclined, Gazed on the lake below. Her conscious tail her joy declared; The fair round face, the snowy beard, The velvet of her paws, Her coat, that with the tortoise vies, Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes, She saw; and purred applause. Still had she gazed; but ’midst the tide Two angel forms were seen to glide, The genii of the stream; Their scaly armour’s Tyrian hue Through richest purple to the view Betrayed a golden gleam. The hapless nymph with wonder saw; A whisker first and then a claw, With many an ardent wish, She stretched in vain to reach the prize. What female heart can gold despise? What cat’s averse to fish? Presumptuous maid! with looks intent Again she stretch’d, again she bent, Nor knew the gulf between. (Malignant Fate sat by, and smiled) The slippery verge her feet beguiled, She tumbled headlong in.

''The plight of Davis Paul'' ''Dam you to Hades Billy! why are you setting fire to my Wardrobe with your Cigarette!!?''...you would hear on occasion some kind of verbal anger often from Davis - shouting out in abstract Frustration, 'just because Billy Thought Davis Pauls Clothes were lame'' oh yeah, Billy D was the Dude.........Davis put up with so much crap and nonsense from the rebellious Layabout - come would be antisocial super hero, ''the enabler''...Davis Paul was literally at the end of his tether..all those worrisome late nights... Davis would often shout at Billy, during one of Billy's Trash rampages, ''Aunt may never has this problem ever with peter parker !'' and then the rest of the time, Davis Paul wondering where Billy was? and what was Billy D up too? then after hours and hour of worrying,  Billy would just rock up - staggering through the Front door, Gladiator outfit on, covered
