Its here! Finally after 5 years of blabbing about it the robot tattoo is underway. Getting done by Chad down at Sanitary Electric Tattoo. Love the design… asked for a retro / steam-punk type robot and that’s what i got! Outline and shading done… next session’s the color.

Went to the Pecha Kucha presentations the other night and had a great time. My friends who do Rollout custom wallpaper nailed their presentation. Another presentation that stood out was Sergio Toporek twist on spiritual / scientific directed art. Not some much into the spiritual stuff but quite the interesting perspectives in the flows and fractals of physics driven art.
It also could have been he worked in one of my favorite quotes (laws) by Arthur C. Clarke “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Good talk and strange ideas! Heres another great quote (from Star Diaries) by my top author to read;
“The whole plan hinged upon the natural curiosity of potatoes.” – Lem.
As most plans always have in the past!

Haha I knew it… being strange does pay off! Or is it reading strange things that’s the pay off and the strange people are just never understood? Whatever I suppose…

I say do yourself a favor and go see District 9! Opened today and I’m still nerding out about it. Still on a bit of a high but i’d say its the best thing to happen in many, many a year… Hooray!

Seems like summer has gone by too quick! this weekend was a bit nuts… project deadline, Quintron and Miss Pussycat show and a birthday! great fun… not pics though. August is already here… need to get more beach time in.
on a nerd out note had a great find at the book story the other day… found a signet publication of Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep… love the signet cover back in the day. nice collage layout that are just strange and weird!

Just got back from a rainy camping trip to Mount Robson. Didn’t see the sun at all… but it was still ok… lots of huddling around campfires and beer. Plus one hike. Here’s some flickr action; http://www.flickr.com/photos/rand_w/
Aside from the weather the place was a really good camping spot…
