At Long last I found him. One of the main influences of my art that goes back to the early eighties. Well, not all my art, but lots of it. Long before I was introduced to others like Giger, this guy spoke to me, I may have been one of the only people who got him (or at least in my own mind). Mark Prent, a Canadian artist. I saw a small picture in an art magazine advertising his show, found more small pics, then a documentary, and eventually got to one of his shows and started picking out his art elsewhere.  

At the time I was an on again, off again mold and caster for museums and theater, so his techniques spoke to me. His statements on society spoke volumes as well.

I always remember him but after multiple moves and my learning disabled mind lost his name, always on the tip of my tongue.  I was recently researching him and finally found him. His work did appear in a David Cronenberg movie Scanners. That was easy to find but none of it make reference to the artist.

You can find him at

The Schizoid Social will continue, but I need a break for a while. Lots of assents ready to go, can't wait, but life is crazy and busy and I need, right now simpler projects to kept the juices going.
 
The Social will be bigger and better with special guests, more fascinating factory places, in fact it will be an all out Gala!
 
In the mean time I can give you peeps a lovely little gift. Every body likes
flowers,… right?

Believe it or not, my current stemmed by wondering if a black pit in the

middle of the image would be awesome anti-social composition studies. There is

a lot more too these  images, true. Too much to talk about without gallons of alcohol, in our bellies sitting on an old rotting dock on tiny northern isolated lake.  

 

Anyhoo, a good many of my old art teachers would be grinding their teeth over my abuses in composition. Fortunately,  just as many of my old art teachers would be delighted. ...--I FREAK-EN love ART!

 

The black pit compositional idea is just getting started, just have patience. There is a lot of crazy not fun things happening in my life. Things that just keep happening over and over. The real problem is I think they are actually helping with the creative process.  Art life! yeash...

Hello fellow Ottawans, I'm looking for a room to call home. I have my own bar fridge, hotplate and microwave. Don't need room-mates, just a spare basement room or flat. Looking for a quiet place to study, make art and sleep. I have no pets and don't smoke, healthy, employed, friendly and low maintenance. If you need a quiet person and a few extra bucks a month, let me know.
