~CINDERS OPENING PIX . . PART 4 / CURIOUS
as in, VERY CURIOUS, INDEED !!
BENJAMIN BUTTON, you ain’t got nothing on us. but, close !!
I guess by now you can see where that title, ‘DECA-DUNCE’ kicks in. as in, the smart-ass fools !!
the CINDERS family is. for sure, they are NOT the slow & dumb folks, ‘dunce’ is supposed to reference, but the fast and furious . . ‘ironic’ & ‘comic’ bio-folks / ‘creatives’ as we like to call them in NYC . . trying to clue us in, into just how surely . . our cosmic orb of a world, that little spinning bio-globe we call home – is heading for the big dive.
whether it be war, slow toxins in our food & environment, and/or gradual mutation ?
or, just a slow but steady mental degradation into our cartoon collective media consciousness.

though some of them seem to be already, crying.
RON REGE Jr, ‘What Parsifal Saw’, letterpress, Cinders Ediitons. ($50)
while others can still reach for the divine celestial dance.
just goes to show you, how versatile . . a line drawing can be !!
detail: RON REGE Jr.
has an interesting morph of his own going on, his line drawings have a cartoon aspect, that is all his own.
detail: RON REGE Jr.
they stand on both sides of the line, that line being . . ancient history and future vision.
hello.
they are like future child meets ancient Greek map of the constellations up in the sky.
BRENDAN MONROE, ‘Ripple’, gouache on paper. ($850)
and then, poof !!
the ultimate mother of all . . line drawings !!
all celestial dreaming, all toxic warnings, suck it up – it’s over.
but is it really . . the end ?
or are there tiny microbes in those crevices, ready to start the impetus to life, and maybe great civilizations, all over again.
just spin that big TV dial.
the answer probably lies somewhere between ‘Say Yes to the Dress’, ‘Teen Mom’, ‘Lincoln’, and ‘Pre-History Evolution in Australian Fossils’ with a good dose of ‘Inca Mummies’ thrown in for the ‘X’ – as in cosmic factor . . as hosted by Nev of MTV’s ‘Catfish’ !!
catfish !!
talk about ancient and future-talk !! morph !!
yeah. come to think of it, I am so sick of Morgan Freeman, and not just on TV, he has ruined so many pretty good sci-fi movies too, him and Donald Sutherland. cameos, ugh.
I hear his voice I flip channels.
enough already. move over.
I vote Nev to narrate all science and astronomy shows – from now on.
and who’s taking notes ?
$10 to the first person who puts Nev in a sci-fi flick !!
