Abalienate Primates Evolve Slowly

Greetings all you Homohabilis ancestor. It's true that Tony Alma is now in H-town for the time being. Many things, good and bad, happen this past year but we are still going strong. As Bruce Lee elegantly put it, "Empty your mind; be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."
So, let's try and go with the flow. The camera might be in the pawn shop and the external hard drive, that had countless of pictures, might have got fried but here are some pictures that were still on my friend's computer that haven't been lost. And a few from the phone that can still take pictures but can't make calls. Enjoy...



You know who, because we don't artists.

Walking the train yard getting cursed out by homeless peeps.



Random street "art". Some people are saying if you make it at home then just stick it or nail it or use a stencil that it isn't art but it's still better than letting the rich have all the fun. Art is anything that the eyes enjoys and makes the body feels good. Or maybe nothing is art. What do you think?

Kanako and Joshua behind her.

Anthony, "Ohhh, you better not." But we did, heehee.

Random cardboard with cool art by unknown artist.



Random stuff on the street.

Sketching.

Drinks anyone?

Picture of old crew called INX, pronounced "inks", art by Roach.

Well, there you have it folks. Just a few other things before we go. One, if you would like to see more of my artwork here is a new flickr account with just paintings and art stuff. Take time out to check it...

Second, if you haven't heard by now there is a bill in the U.S. of A. that is trying to censor the internet. SOPA and PIPA need to be stopped. With your help it is possible, go to google and sign up https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/   so please get involved.
And there's a few other things we couldn't get to because it's time to get ready for work but maybe next time. Keep your head up and take care everyone. Peace.

Loneliness Often Varies Emotion

Hello, good morning and welcome back world.
It has been a rough 2011 but thanks to a few friends we made it to 2012. Thought about writing how friends sometimes help you out more than your own family but then thought about writing how life is hard but we have to make the most of it, but then started to think of a bunch of other things to write about. Whew!
Instead, since we are short on time, here are some pictures.
And read the end for other news...











And remember kids, I don't have facebook so don't freak out and don't get mad at the next few things either. Had to pawn my camera but hope to get it out soon now that I'm working again. If you try to comment on any of the post please disable your cookies because sometimes it wont show up. Email me if you have questions or comments, it's much easier.
Thank you Joshua for everything.
And, I will soon have some art hanging at Radical Eats in Houston Texas. It's a nice vegetarian Tex Mex restaurants
