The Fine Art Blog of Darren Daz Cox

  I wanted to document the first marks on this this new 8ft by 4ft canvas (in two pieces for easy transportation to where ever it might end up).

The composition uses my tried and true curly lines that feel really right to draw and I’ve drawn them for years and years so they flow really well. The figure, obviously a first draft is completely from my imagination as you can tell from the creative use of anatomy haha!

Yes, it would look more realistic from a model or photographic reference but this is wrestled directly from my mind and I was thinking about Michelangelo sculpting a figure from the middle on outwards as I drew it. Yes she has a big head but she isn’t supposed to represent a human being, it’s an allegorical figure!

We shall see how the allegory plays out as it progresses!

This is quantum art, meaning that my intent and the process of what happens while I paint them is what’s important, not so much the finished product. But I am at a skill level where the finished product is going to be visually interesting, however the magic, to me. is in the process, what actually happens, often in a synchronous way while I paint them.

 Welcome to 99daz.com the best fine art blog in the world, in this dimension, ( it’s actually number two in another parallel one, where Rozi made her own fine art blog. Rozi is also the captain of a giant robot shaped space ship in yet another dimension but that’s another story). 

Ok, so I listen to a lot of ‘new science’ lectures that involve quantum physics and spirituality and the fact that you found this blog means I know SEO and social networking so I wanted to combine everything I know and save the world.

Well, the world doesn’t need saving, but I do want to raise the vibration of people’s consciousness to the point where they think more creatively (if possible). Here’s my latest art project idea to do just that.

First of all i will need to get a spam contract, like all the stupid spam you see has to be paid for to some company, so I get a contract with that company for the maximum amount of spam sendings.

Next, I make a cool piece of art and a decent poem to go along with it and pick a variety of titles for the email, something cool, like "eat vegetables and you won’t need viagra" or "cute bunny art contest winner" and then spam, spam, spam.

We know from quantum physics that your intent affects reality and we also know that we are also connected on the quantum level. Here’s an example using a current event. How many people suddenly became interested in Michael Jackson recently? people that never even thought of him, but suddenly were fascinated, you might be one.

One reason why you might have suddenly become interested in jacko is by the The 100 Monkeys effect, which suggests that our minds are connected and that you only need a certain amount of people to be thinking the same thing for the others to know it without even realizing they know it.

So you might be thinking of a certain thing not because you really care but because other people have it in their consciousness so it leaks over into everyones mind, including yours, and if it is a positive loving thing then the world will be a better place!

My intent is to inspire and raise consciousness so my art spam mailings, even if they go directly to your spam folder will still reach enough people to affect consciousness (obviously spam reaches enough people to be profitable or there wouldn’t be spam, right?).

Anyway, it’s just an idea I have, one of my many art projects!

Here’s a tabloid sized (11 inches by 17 inches) poster in my upcoming zine. There’s a bigger version on my Flickr account too. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gobzine/3712274203/

 Twin Faeries fine art poster for the free paper art zine caled Gobzine coming soon.

***mostly deleted because I no longer feel that disolutioned about religion – deal with it!***

I don’t believe in the Easter Bunny, I don’t enjoy massive amounts of chocolate and traditional fare, I really don’t enjoy dressing up and making small talk but I do enjoy easter-time. It’s the begining of spring! The Vernal Equinox to be specific, the time when the days and nights are about equal in length. basicly, springtime baby! Life begins anew!!! here’s an old digital painting I did!

I used to be one of those people who bought into the whole punk rock idea of smashing your tv because it was a evil lizard-man controlled corporate propaganda tool that rotted your brain and etc etc blah blah blah., but now I’m older and extremely un-cool and apathetic and enjoy the shows Chuck, Fringe, Heroes and can’t wait for next season of Lost!

I still don’t like paying a cable bill though so it’s with great pleasure that I watch these shows in perfect 100% High Definition for free from the broadcasters! Take that evil lizard men! You can rip up your cable bill too and even move your tv to somewhere away from that umbilical chord coming out of the wall if you have an HDTV.

Don’t give up on tv! it’s cheap entertainment and gives people something in common that is pleasurable.

Remember that local HD (high definition) programming is free, all you need is a HD tv (NOT a tv that says "HD monitor") and that ancient old ‘rabbit ear’ antenna from 1973 gathering dust in the garage.

This is a great time for tv shows, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS and Fox all have plenty of crystal clear HD shows broadcasted for free, and in bigger markets there are dozens and dozens of free HD channels and this is just the beginning.

My favorite shows are shown in HD such as Chuck and Lost so why pay 50$ a month for a digital cable box when you can get some of the best shows and local news for free?

There is no need to hook your new HD set to the roof antenna or even to buy a fancy motorized "HD booster" antenna either. You could pretty much jam a fork into the coax input in the back of your HDTV and pick up perfect HD shows.

Also, don’t pay extra for a 1080p set unless you have a blu-ray player or a high end video game system as tv shows are not broadcast in 1080p yet and have no plans to be in the near future.

Spend your entertainment dollars on the best tv (AND always always an extended warranty) you can afford instead of paying 50-100 dollars a month for digital cable (that’s 600-1200 bucks more tv you can get if your favorite tv shows are on PBS, ABC,NBC,Fox and CBS for example!!!!).

Sharp, Hitachi and Toshiba (maybe others too) all have customer service offices in the midwest with English (and Spanish) speaking American citizens who get paid to help you set up your new tv, so use that free service, (or just call with pre-sales and HD questions, it’s always 100% free to call).

The HD you get for free is exactly 100% the same as what you would pay for with an HD cable or satellite box.

Check http://www.antennaweb.org to see what free local definition programming is available where you live.

Yes, you will not get all the cool tv shows for free, no Disney Channel, but you do get a whole lot of them, Fringe, Heros etc and you will never have to deal with the cable company. One less bill baby!!!

I don’t watch enough tv to justify the price of an HD cable subscription, especially now that I can see so much free content on the net on places such as www.hulu.com, but it’s a definite pleasure to see half a dozen really quality shows in HD for free each week!

There, I just saved you some money! Now be happy and love your neighbor!

and here’s something else you can do, make cool art like the mighty Jane Belcastro does! This is a silkscreen from the late 1980’s by Jane-o-la – my favorite artist!

Me and my beast, and Connie – silkscreen by Jane Belcastro now in the collection of Darren Daz Cox.

As heard on the Wayne R. Miller and Laure "The Hot Finance Lady" Feld radio show on WMBD 1470 AM this freezing sunday morning, Peoria is experiencing a Code Red, which is a weather emergency they found out for us. It’s bloody cold alright! There is a half inch of ice on everything and it was minus one degree when I took some pictures this morning, but you can’t beat the sight of sunlight through ice on a trillion branches!!!!

Lake of the Woods lake (just outside of Dunlap Illinois), first day of winter 2008.

My internet was down yesterday so I didn’t get to post this sketch I made recently so here it is now!
