“THERE’S MORE OF US THAN THERE ARE OF THEM!” My mantra for synergizing the masses through art to inspire revolution. I painted this 7x8’ Live Art beast in 13 hours last week @bitcoin.conference Las Vegas.
I have ridden the storm of so many criticisms ever since I discovered Bitcoin & it has shown me that you can’t criticize something you don’t understand. “But MEAR…the internet was built by DARPA! The NSA invented the cryptographic algorithm SHA-256 upon which Bitcoin is built! That means Bitcoin is compromised!”
Seriously, what do you think you’re holding in your hands. I’m all for proving the most way out there conspiracy theories true over time - this is not one of them. The monetary trap we’re currently enslaved by is the true conspiracy that Bitcoin slices through. Why is there an occult image on the dollar bill? Really, ask yourself this one very basic fundamental question - What is money? It is a forest massacred, killing fields all around the world, reasons for violence, weapons for war.
What is Bitcoin? I’m learning that it is a digital shield of global neutrality without violence. Beyond any intrinsic monetary store of value it may hold, I think its greatest strength lies in an agreed upon set of non-violent proof-of-work principles our community adheres to - transparency, sovereignty, be your own bank, hold your own keys, decentralization, don’t trust, verify. In the end, none of this is ours anyways, we are just dust in the winds of revolution & change and I choose to surf that wave.
Here live painting @bitcoin.conference rendering what I see around the world. As war & hardship crash down on humanity our resolve resides in our humanity. Revolution is the only way out of the panopticon trap.
In 2004 I joined forces with Shepard Fairey & Robbie Conal to protest the United Snakes of the Imperialist Empire 🐍 “Be the Revolution” was our nationwide guerilla postering campaign vandalizing not only the streets, but the minds of humanity against the injustices of war. A rare signed copy of my vintage lithograph of Bush is on exhibit this week at the Bitcoin Museum & Art Gallery in Las Vegas. Auction is now live, link in my bio #letsplayarmageddon
We are all pirates seeking resources to satisfy our desires. Economic slaves to fast fashion, fast tech, fast food leaving in our wake a trail of sloppy wreckage. And nothing in this world has as much greedy consequence than man’s desire to devise more & better ways to kill each other. Controllers of this monetary reality use black magic to have us living like cattle, printing GMO meat patties like they print their blood-soaked bills. We all hear that money printer go brrrr, that sound of war. An endless trap of lies & delusion, meanwhile psychos build palaces & plan how humanity should think & serve. Living a life out of balance. Rather live to make life better. There are ramps off this #GarbageIsland
I am spending much of my time thinking, using my senses to feel what I cannot see & define my source of life. It is a battle, I am just as guilty, I eat the food, wear the clothes, drink the water, so I find myself in this toxic smoke too. To actually see these destructive forces clearly takes a courage humans no longer teach. Self- education has always been the beginning of an awakening & along the way teachers will present themselves when you learn to recognize them. Wake up when you want, but wake up soon before it is too late to realize what you could have done.
This painting does not celebrate or glorify its narrative, it shows it as it is in order to reset the symbolism in our mind, not by false hope but realization. Conscious Art 4 Conscious People! #earthday bundles printed on 100% organic cotton canvas now available @sugarpressart link in my bio 🌎🌏🌍
Happy Birthday Bacchus!!! You are officially 16 years old!!! This lil buddy of ours has travelled across the country almost a dozen times. We’ve climbed mountains, swam across rivers, scrambled down canyons discovering ancient art & ruins, always happy to be with us sharing the adventure. His beautiful disposition made a friend out of everyone he’s met. From my family in Tahoe, Grass Valley, Denver, Portland, Miami, Texas, Louisiana & the entire Southwest. Everywhere Bacchus goes he brings his warmth & immediate ability to tell who is a good person 🐾 Love you buddy❤️🔥
This painting popped up in my feed, reminded me of my American Revolution & Common Sense. My lady did a lil digging and said it was by a neighborhood artist who just passed, apparently by suicide. Eerily she was quoted in a 2021 interview saying “I’m not suicidal.” One of the few artists vocally critical of Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people, she was systematically attacked by the very institutions of power that previously supported her rise to fame. Put on a Jew hate database. Publicly shamed as an enabler of Jew hatred. The artist herself was half-Jewish and half-Cajun. “Zionism is the ugly incarnation of internalized Jew-hatred. This is what it looks like to hate yourself.” ~ Celeste Dupuy-Spencer rest in power ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

In 1962 President Lyndon B. Johnson gave his most chilling remarks: “He who controls the weather will control the world.” Five years later he would helm a covert military program called Operation Popeye during the peak of the Vietnam War directing U.S. Air Force to seed the monsoon clouds above enemy territory with silver and lead iodide. Devastating torrential downpours ensued. These instruments of weather warfare are still being used today, be it for extreme flooding, drought, and whatever poisoning consequence follows, but now it seems the war is on us. “Frankenskies” is part one of my @sugarpressart cause & effect canvas print duo for Ink & Earth, opening tonight @madrabbit.studios@madrabbit 6-10PM | 683 Imperial St., Los Angeles #chemtrails #weatherwars
