Without Truth, There is Only Power

Please Feel Guilty, Leon

SPURA LES
Ok, so here's the deal: From what history of the Seward Park Urban Renewal Area (SPURA) that I could glean from the internet (here, for example) there was a concerted effort in the early 60's involving NYC government, various...
Advice to a Young Artist

truth, convenient and otherwise
Conventional wisdom has it that here in the states, the Democrats and the Republicans are at loggerheads. Not only does this not have to be this way but I believe that deep, deep down inside our national psyche, the...

(UAV) Unmanned Art Vehicle

Broken Bone and Chocolate Mountain
It was an unusually good night for drinking. I'm not a drinker (true) but I am not entirely unfamiliar with the state of intoxication. All the fellas were belly-up to the countertop -the magnificent seven of ChinaTown, each a...

Another Surf Report
