The Optical Revolution is Here

June 20, 2010

My invention(AMOD) is now 10 years old to me, I have waited for the IBM, Sony, Hitachi, etc to come up with the solution of CD and DVD spin reliability and to eventually supersede it to a simpler more efficient solution, as usual they are making too much money from old technology and unreliable systems to go for something as simple, reliable and revolutionary as the Solid State Optical Disc Technology, I am at the end of my tether and will see who accepts my ideas as I am giving it freely to the world. Here is the basic system:

1.    No change to CD,DVD, discs this technology will not be obsolete
2.    Increases in read/write times increases 1000 fold
3.    No noise, no motor, no heat
4.    Lifetime of drive is extended to at least 100 years and much more
5.    CD,DVD can now be imprinted on anything
6.     The round disc will no longer be the imperative geometry
7.    New shapes and 3D forms will revolutionise computing and entertainment
8.    Simple manufacturing, once the required resolution has been achieved
9.    Error free reading/writing
10. Leadin, Leadout, Prepit not needed

Here is some pictures of the basic schematic and designs.

No Work No Money

June 16, 2010

I am full of hope every time I open my email to see if there are any freelancing work I can bid on. The truth is I bid on 100 and I might get one, I guess these are the odds when you freelance. I still have to pay my bills, I tried every avenue, at 54 you are treated as if you got oodles of savings and your not even in the race. I am a real paint and brushes artist, my craft was hard won, not some fancy software. I refuse to be beaten by a system that tries to dismiss true draughtsmanship as opposed to photoshopping. To be honest, I use photoshop, corel, 3dmax and other programs as AID to my work, yeah I guess you can make Mona Lisa dance but none of these tools can make you an artist. Only the true artist no matter what the tools can create something truly new. Painting is a discipline that requires time, something the modern world tells us we are running out of. I am not out of step with the current trends, I create my own trends that are light years beyond what the mass media try to pump into our heads.

True artists are outsiders, only to be found many years after their departure as something special, Picasso had to declare his uniqueness with the force of his temperament before everybody took notice, where Van Gogh found his vision in relative obscurity. Mr Warhol capitalized on Americans love of kitschy images only to cash in and create an industry of misguided pop artists that is now the norm for commercial art.

If poverty is a reflection of great art then there are very few real artists in this society. The balance must be reset so real artists can create great works without becoming a salesman of kitsch and a whore of the inane mind polluted money machine moguls.

Now that I got that of my chest, anybody interested in commissioning me for an artwork.

New Painting 010610

June 2, 2010

Started a new painting yesterdsay, what you see here is over-painting at least 3 versions of what I started with. The inspiration is now clear and I can proceed to the next stage of realization. Each session reveals new structural adjustments in tone and detail, this is a snapshot of the middle period of a work in progress. This period is the most dynamic, where forms are defined and the painting starts to reveal the intention of the artist. Please enjoy, acrylic on canvas, 3ftx4ft. More updates as the painting progresses.

The Fools of Spam Spelling

May 8, 2010

I was cleaning out my mailbox when I realised how many fake “people” had sent me cheap software offers as SPAM. I don’t know where they get the idea someone will buy the stuff they are selling when they can’t even spell what the products are. They are aware of the spam filters looking for key words, so they spell it wrong so it passes the filter search, still they persist, it just fills our junk email folders. The names they use are Soooo FAKE only a total idiot would believe that it is a real person. I brand the spammers as FOOLs by wasting the internet bandwidth, our time and being idiotic enought to believe that we can’t see who they really are. Here is a small list of some of those Text lines used :

Devolution of the Politician

May 3, 2010

Dr Robert Sapolsky has discovered the way forward for our current society. Rid the civilization of the controlling alpha males, such as bosses, generals, politicians, CEO’s etc. He found that a group of baboons that had accidently lost its alpha males when they ate bad food, had not only thrived but grew to be a harmonious and cooperative group. Thus proving that our leaders are just a bunch of controlling ego maniacs that need to be removed.

Here is a youtube video that will interest you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KahBhoHvd-M

Here is my cartoon “Where Now?” about my take on it – enjoy

Winning the Wynn

April 14, 2010

Sitting at home with a sketch pad and delving into the memory of the Australian landscape, which I have enjoyed most of my life, the TV blared “Tom Leach wins the Wynn art prize of $25,000, but copies an old dutch master.”. I was livid at the suggestion that someone copy a 300 year dutch landscape and claims an Australian landscape award, this painting should be nothing but an exercises that an artist does to build up their painting chops when they are still in the learning curve, very early learning, far from mastery!! here is the rip off  http://art-landscape.blogspot.com/2010/03/sam-leach-wins-wynne-prize.html . I am one of many landscape painters who has spent 20-30 years mastering nuances of paint and colour not to mention formal understanding of composition and all its histrionics, who starve to learn and master the essential. I will say shameless NEPOTISM , IGNORANCE and complete misunderstanding of what it means to paint an original AUSTRALIAN LANDSCAPE….got that of my chest…next.

Control

I drew this early in 2009, after reading lots of weird stories about the government is controlled by reptilian aliens, so instead of hiding my picture I decided to post it on my blog I am bound to get some reaction from this!

Current Artwork

April 3, 2010

At present I am painting a canvas 1000mmx750mm and have come to a fork on the road to completion.

I can paint it in Oils.

I can paint it acrylics.

I can paint it in acrylics using water colour techniques.

Horse and carrage version #1

Let;s see which way the wind blows for my final direction.
