A former shop of porcelain and table crystal in the ‘Grasmarkt’ old Brussels city centre, has been taken over. Behind the shop windows we can now see fluffy animals and boxes for children. Today, it would be no problem to enter this shop in your shorts and sneakers; different times bring different habits and needs.

It is imperative that we implement a system of ecolonomic homeostasis to fight against the current anthropotechnogenic economic, social and environmental crises. Recent global economic and political instability has revealed the shortcomings of our current capitalist system. It further confirms the necessity for an ultramodern paradigm shift. On account of the deleterious impact of the financialization of the economic ecosystem, we must introduce an oligopolistic system that can be sustainably managed. The Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) is what is needed to fulfill our sustainable development goals. Environmental awareness must be the center of our ethos as we work to reduce our anthroposphere periphery in pursuit of global co-immunity. Not only must we manipulate living organisms through science and engineering to create commodities, we must also manipulate the Anthropos through cryptoeconomic engineering.
This new cryptospheric ecotechnic cybernetic system will revolve around a cyber-physical environmental intelligence. This transhuman technosphere of 15 minute city ecoregions will adopt a sustainable economic welfare system that will revolve around harvesting the body’s energy. You will be a collective of communities, a multitude of capital. We will combine biomimetics and thermoeconomics to economically rebalance the core-periphery dynamic. Xenocommodification: all money creation must have biophysical embedding—666. This thermalisation of thermoeconomics will be globally self-replicated.
In short: take the Mark of the Beast and become transhuman—embrace the techno-Beast system, because techno-animism is the way of the future!
These nerds want an economic system that revolves around the environment—a Social Credit Score System that will be linked to your Carbon Footprint and to the United Nations 17 goals of Sustainable Development. The ultimate goal is to tie this eco-economic system together with transhumanism—the merging of man and microchip…data capitalism (data totalitarianism).
Warning: “Constantly be on your guard so that your hearts will not be loaded down with self-indulgence, drunkenness, and the worries of this life, or that day will take you by surprise like a trap, because it will come on everyone who lives on the face of the earth. So be alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place and to take your stand in the presence of the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:34-36)
There was a magic light on that fateful morning, "the morning that was about to not happen at all". That sunrise seemed to last far longer than usual... It sometimes happens, and, while the origin of such a phenomenon remains mysterious, it is most certainly a blissful gift.
It was ebb tide, and there were some wide, perfectly still tidal pools that were reflecting perfectly that wondrous light and sky, producing a stunning effect. There was something woven into that interplay between the sky and the waters. There was meaning. For some precious, apparently endless minutes, I felt one with the cosmos.
Newton's law of universal gravitation was one of the most stunning breakthroughs in the history of mankind. It revealed the origin of Kepler's laws of planetary motion. It allowed astronomers to predict the passage of comets, most famously Halley's. It allowed astronomers to predict the existence of previously unknown planets in our cosmic neighborhood. Yet its single most important contribution to our worldview was the realisation that the whole universe is governed by the same laws. It was a dramatic paradigm shift: we were no longer confined within a special region of the universe, made of imperfect, perishable matter, governed by ad hoc laws in opposition with the perfect, eternal harmony of the spheres—a terrestrial world made of pain, corruption, decay, and death due to our sinful nature. Newton's law eradicated this deeply rooted worldview and showed that everything everywhere obeyed the very same fundamental laws. That we are made of the very same stuff as the whole universe. That the pains of life and the unavoidable decay and death of everything on Earth were not divine punishments but the regular course of Nature. Starting from that point, we found out that even the stars die. Even our universe will die, eventually. Maybe, in some way. This does not wipe our struggling and suffering away, of course, but can help us to see our (small, oh, how small...) place in the whole and, maybe, to find meaning in a meaningless universe. Well, all these thoughts, that have taken so much time to be laid down in words and to be read by you right now, were crowding my mind all at once as I was capturing this exposure bracketing, in the funny way thoughts can overlap and mingle into each other, coexisting all at once. I have shared the result of my photographic endeavour and the thoughts that make it meaningful to me, so I should have accomplished my mission. I hope that you like my work, and I wish you a good life, feeling one with the universe.

Laura and I were on one of those little, precious vacations of ours. We were at the seaside, at Milano Marittima (i.e., Milan-on-the-seaside, but the name of the place should not fool you: it is more than 300 km from Milan). We had a wonderful, intimate time - and I went chasing sunrises, earning three sunrise sessions in four days. I am normally careful not to photograph too much and too seriously on such occasions, even when the place is luring me, since my main focus is on us being together. Yet I am somehow lucky to have a thing for sunrises, since this allows me to dedicate some time to photography that does not weigh on our precious together-time - indeed, when I am back, she is usually still asleep. So here I am with a shot from my first session, and the best one (we'll see if I can squeeze something worth your attention from the other two).
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-2.0/-1.0/0/+1.0/+2.0 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refers to the "normal exposure" shot).
As usual, I gave the finishing touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4 and played a bit with dodging and burning.

Do you still use a film camera? How about a point and shoot camera? What about a DSLR? Technology is quickly changing; here is a picture of what the future holds:
The Internet of Bio-Nano Things will bridge the gap between microelectronics and biological systems; it will transform the systems of our bodies into smart devices. The free flow of data between electronic and biological worlds will represent a completely new paradigm shift, a shift to transhumanism.
In our biological systems, we have redox molecules that are capable of transferring electrons. Imagine all the data we will tap into and control. We will use a microbial network, plugged into an external electronic system, so that we’ll be able to control biological functions in real time. We will use an electronic system along with engineered microbial cells to create an electronically controlled biological network called the 666 BioLAN.
If you’re not a computer nerd, LAN means: Local Area Network. It consists of a series of computers and smart devices, which are connected together to form a network in a local location. Similarly, the 666 BioLAN will use a network of engineered cells, which will convert data delivered through an electronic input, thus stimulating a biological response. In turn, this biological response will transmit data across a microbial network, so that it can carry out network functions.
The Living Electrode is a special component of this system. It was created by binding engineered cells to the surface of a gold electrode. This Living Electrode facilitates a redox reaction, which is needed to translate electronic signals into data, so that it can be read by a biological system.
It’s a hybrid system that combines electronics and biology. It’s digitally programmed, but biologically executed. In electrogenetics we use electronic signals to activate gene expression, so that we can enable data transfer from electronics to biology and back. We will use electronics to control biological processes.
This process has already begun. We have introduced new gene editing technologies into the Covid-19 vaccines. We are also introducing these same gene editing technologies into the animal and plant populations. Our goal is to edit all life on earth, so that we can patent and control it. We use Spike Proteins to weaken the immune system, so that Graphene Oxide nano-particles can enter the cells of the body. We are using Graphene to slowly build nano-networks and nano-antennas inside the human body.
We will soon introduce a Social Credit Score System so that, in order to participate in society (buy food and pay rent), the population will have to comply with the latest vaccine mandates. In a few years, when these Graphene Networks are fully complete, each person will receive the mandatory Pentium 6.66 GHz Chip. Once people are microchipped with this Beast Chip, they will no longer be human, they will be transhuman. We will take neuromorphic computing to the next level. We will use technology to evolve into gods. Take the Mark, worship the Beast. Humans are now obsolete!
Matthew 24:12-13 “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.”
Brand New Study: Spike Protein Accumulates in Brain and Skull and Causes Damage:
We need a new world-culture, a global synthesis of interconnectedness and global consciousness. We need a global citizenship movement that will promote social justice and social transformation. We must fight for fundamental human rights, over all national law and cultural identity—there must be equality for everyone! Global citizens are not born; they are created through social engineering. Children, you lack a global perspective on shared humanity, but we will indoctrinate you over time. Since you are part of this cult, you must help bridge the gap and rectify all misinformation. Remember, we global citizens are New World Order ambassadors. We must not only reflect on the virtues of globalism, but we must also act on them. As we reeducate the sheep, we must live a lifestyle of activism. True leaders are global citizens, whether they are CEOs, prime ministers, or just like you: Children of the Corn (Children of the Beast).
The number one (propaganda) issue that underscores our interconnectedness is climate change. The earth depends on our collective stewardship, which transcends all geopolitical borders and economies. One of our most important duties is to protect and enforce our global(ist) compacts. The health of the planet and society depends on useful idiots like us to lead the charge.
Smart cities are the engines of global control. They are full of opportunities, which we’ll exploit. This is a classic case of global multidimensionalism, which not only involves all facets of life, but is also omnipresent (The internet is borderless, and so is globalization). The most successful city is a smart city, because it’s interconnected globally. It reaches to the corners of the earth through smart technologies like the Internet of things, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning. Now we are faced with a secular humanist phenomenology and a new age cosmology in which we must develop new and efficient methodologies. This paradigm shift is in perfect alignment with the values of global citizenship.
Take the jab, take the Mark. Be a sheep, awaken the dark. Bow the knee, bow in submission. Worship the Beast, son of perdition.
Children of the Corn—deeply rooted, widespread. Children of the Beast—tares uprooted, twice dead.
Matthew 24:4 “Then Jesus replied to them: ‘Watch out that no one deceives you.’”
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”

“Prime” Example Of Software Bugs Swapping “SALT” & Peppered With Errors, You Could Die Laughing — IMRAN®
As an engineer—especially one who wrote software early in life—I understand how complex systems can misfire. Most bugs are benign. But when a global company like Amazon, serving tens of millions daily, slips up this obviously… it’s a Prime example of how even polished platforms can serve the wrong spice.
I was trying to learn more about Minamata—a poignant, painful tale of mercury poisoning and corporate denial. Instead, the preview and metadata gave me SALT, Angelina Jolie’s sleek spy thriller. Different continent. Different tone. Different universe. But hey, they both kick off with trauma.
So here we are: Minamata—a film about invisible mercury silently poisoning lives—swapped with SALT, served cold with espionage and high-octane stunts. A digital bug so simple it’s funny… until you realize how easily bad data can swap identities, finances, even medical history.
Amazon probably employs better engineers than most government or legacy banking systems. But imagine the wrong code cross-wiring your tax return with someone else’s criminal record. Now the mercury’s rising. And the heat in the AI kitchen? It’s ghost-pepper hot.
Sure, too much salt can raise your blood pressure. Mercury? That’s not seasoning—it’s neurological sabotage. One makes your doctor frown. The other makes your neurons forget how to function.
And now, as corporations lay off human programmers in favor of AI agents still learning to tie their digital shoelaces, who do you call when SALT turns into Minimatter or Minamata becomes Mini-Meta?
And in a time when treaties once forged to protect humanity—from nuclear annihilation to environmental collapse—are being quietly unraveled, it’s worth remembering that the original SALT treaty wasn’t just about missiles. The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks were a Cold War milestone, a rare moment when superpowers agreed to slow the MAD race toward mutually assured destruction. SALT was a treaty born of fear, restraint, and the fragile hope that diplomacy could outpace escalation.
Now, when even that legacy is fading into footnotes, it’s no surprise that SALT is known not as a strategic safeguard, but as a streaming movie suggestion. A salty treat, served up by flawed metadata, peppered with bugs, and hard to swallow — but entertaining!
Pass the Pepper? More mercury? No, thanks. But I’ll take a double dose of SALT—at least Angelina knows how to raise my blood pressure in a good way.

Staff of Programmes Ltd, London, England. Dateline: mid-1980's.
Programmes Ltd. was the UK's sales sensation of its time. These people could sell anyone practically anything, legal or not: they worked insanely hard and made their company the industry leader in about two years. No wonder they quickly won Britain's top phone marketing award.
Never mind marketing – this is about a phenomenal group of people whose story has never been told. If a history of cults in modern Britain were to be written, these people would be in it. Fact: all or almost all the staff seen here are graduates of the controversial - some would say notorious - Exegesis Seminar. Without Exegesis, Programmes would never have existed. It was these men and women who launched Programmes in Bristol and later London. They quickly proceeded to revolutionize telephone marketing in the UK. The year was 1981.
.
Founded, inspired and controlled by the charismatic Robert Daubigny, a master trainer, Exegesis copied the style and content of Werner Erhard's est training – and pushed further. Exegesis seminars were much smaller, more intense and confrontational than est trainings. Once the seminar commenced its four long days in a hotel room, you quickly realized the trainer was not like anyone you had ever met. He, or she, was ruthless. It was as if your game was up. You could not hide. Nothing had prepared me for it.
Was it disturbing? Absolutely. Was it abusive? Did it go 'too far'? I never witnessed that. The British media were extremely prejudiced about Exegesis and slammed it as a scam and worse. I cheerfully disagree.
A man needs a little madness or else he never dares to cut the rope and be free.
—Nikos Kazantzakis
If anything, I thought Exegesis did not go far enough; still, of what use would the most brilliant training be if it was so shocking that the authorities banned it?
Active in England and Wales from the late-70s to the mid-80s, with headquarters in Bristol and London, whoever was lucky - or doomed - enough to do the Exegesis Seminar, and had the nerve to endure it to the end either went through hell and came out transformed, as we used to say, or merely wasted time, money and the opportunity of a lifetime – and didn't. By normal, conventional standards it was a rash and scary thing to do.
www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries/features/gurus.shtml
Given Exegesis' damn-the-torpedoes brand of full-frontal experiential education, toxic media reportage and ensuing notoriety were all but guaranteed. In fact, Exegesis got such lousy press it led to hostile questions in the UK Parliament. Thus, from Hansard:
hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1984/may/14/mr-ashley...
Full disclosure: I never worked for Programmes. I took part actively in Exegesis. Did I like it? No. I loved it. I hated it. I was fascinated by it, and at times disgusted as well. I wanted to get out, I wanted to stay in. It was as if we were being cooked in a cauldron of ever increasing commitment to be fully here now. My time in Exegesis was priceless, unforgettable. It invited me to experience passion, excellence, total commitment, trauma, grace, and enlightenment. If you could stand it, Exegesis was the shock treatment of your life (those barf bags under every chair in the seminar? They weren't props). Every moment was wake-up time: take full responsibility - no excuses! now! now! now! Committed exegesis graduates were like warriors without a war – or rather the war Robert had us fighting was no less than the age-old spiritual war against our own copping out, against apathy, against the fear-driven betrayal of life, truth and of love.
Your greatest gift lies beyond the door named 'fear.'
—Sufi aphorism
“The need for truth is more sacred than any other need.”
—Simone Weil
Well, that was what fired me up. Other graduates responded differently. For many, the power they discovered in the seminar was promptly deployed in business; in this, Exegesis' series of communication, and other-themed, seminars were very successful. The applications for sales were obvious, and in Programmes they were put to full use.
Reality check: if Exegesis sounds implausibly gruelling, idealistic and too good to be true, well, it was. Personal integrity was hammered into us at seminars; yet, outside, the Exegesis ethic was to go for results by whatever, uh, worked. Morality was irrelevant: ends justified the means. Even healthy and creative criticism was angrily rejected: unquestioning trust in Robert's directives and appointees trumped all other considerations. Dysfunction shadowed enlightenment in a weird duet. Largely as a result, project after project was launched with high hopes only to go nowhere.
Away from the seminar – only, there was no 'away' from the seminar – there was no escape from the in-your-face demands by staff for more sacrifice, more commitment and most of all, more registrations. We grunts, called gaspers (graduate assistant seminar programme: an ultra-committed corps of unpaid employees) were not allowed to forget that Job One was to get people, thousands, millions of people, the whole freaking world! to do the Exegesis Seminar.
"Hello, I want to offer you this unique opportunity to be humiliated, taken apart and turned inside-out in front of strangers. This is your once in a lifetime chance to totally transform your life and get enlightened."
I mean, come on. You had to be crazy, right? We were!
Yes, I took part in the drive, in 1981, to swing an election in a heavily Labour constituency of London to our very own candidate, a respectable lawyer. Unknown to the public, not to mention the dear old oblivious Liberal Party, she was in fact an exegesis staff-member taking orders from Robert. In the weeks before election day, busloads of well-dressed graduates from Bristol joined London graduates in canvassing the entire borough, door to door, clipboards in hand, scripts memorised, getting the answers we wanted.
Using my deafness as an excuse I had at first not wanted to do it, then changed my mind. It turned out beautifully, blowing away yet another old limiting belief: "I can't do canvassing because I'm deaf". Going door to door meeting all kinds of people (years later I recall how kind they were to give me their time) and asking for their vote, and often getting it, was when I first realised my being deaf is, paradoxically, a gift, also an exquisite joke, opening me to total listening, without prejudice, a listening that transcends communication and opens to – whoa! – communion. Nothing else but total listening was – is – the answer to the koan of my deafness. How perfect it was. My world was rocked! Could I have learned this by following social norms and having a conventional education? Fat chance.
“The deepest level of communication is not communication, but communion. It is wordless. It is beyond words, and it is beyond speech, and it is beyond concept.” —Thomas Merton
How grateful I am that Exegesis was almost nothing like Aum Shinrikyo, or Heaven's Gate, or People's Temple, of "drinking the Kool Aid" infamy.
Being unreasonable, risking yourself and doing the impossible was the Exegesis way. That was what I got from my encounter with Robert D'Aubigny and his students.
Incidentally, in that election the Liberal Party, the Labour Party and even MI5 never knew who we were until the votes were in and it was too late. Exegesis' candidate came second, almost winning the seat against all the odds.
Ah, memories. Yes, I witnessed the rise and fall of Microlight Engineering Ltd. (made hang-glider-like planes from imported kits), an Exegesis front company in the heart of Bristol's old industrial district. All the employees were exegesis graduates, including - fatally - its management. Its too-trusting graduate founder was soon financially ruined... Yes, I was in at the beginning of the powerplays called the Bristol Project (aim: to recruit key people in the city, and grow Robert's influence there) and the Glastonbury University project (aim: a university teaching enlightenment or whatever else Robert wanted)
Dodgiest of all – or perhaps not – was the 'Money Seminar' (Bristol, 1981) in which Robert raked in serious cash from us suckers running a one-game casino, week after week... until we wised up and clammed up. How it worked: every graduate in the room wrote down their high bid in secret and handed it to a staff-person. The highest bidder won half the total pool. To this day I remember the awful look on the face of neophyte graduate D_ R_ as he learned that he had won that night's bout with his huge wager – and that after the organization had skimmed off its hefty cut he'd actually get back about half his stake. We all cheered for the winning loser!
While not as unfortunate as my hapless cultmate I too was taken for a tidy sum before catching on. Ouch!
The wackiest Exegesis project of them all? No contest: the Total Transformation of Society – yes, this includes you, dear reader – in 4 years. Or was it two? Launched at a much-heralded gathering of all exegesis graduates, led by Robert himself, in a city-owned hall at the foot of Park Street, Bristol in 1981, it was to begin with us 'transforming' the city, and go viral from there. If I recall aright, Robert declared the project a success after two years.
Or was it one? Whatever.
Anyway, every Exegesis project more or less failed, with the glittering exception of Programmes. It made Robert D'Aubigny extremely wealthy.
homersykes.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Exegesis-Cult-1...
In 1986 Exegesis ceased operations, having transformed itself into Britain's top telephone marketing firm: Programmes.
The people I trained with in Exegesis still have a place in my heart – you never forget your first time! I wanted more, and became somewhat of a glutton for seminars and groupwork in the 1980s. Pursuing my passion for enlightenment, I went to a zen monastery in California, then on to Esalen Institute, and did the est training and its various graduate seminars. At the last est training and the first Forum in San Francisco, I assisted Werner Erhard. Curious about Werner and est? Check out:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Erhard
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMeXmFVq6cY
and
www.erhardseminarstraining.com/
At the same time, I volunteered at The Breakthrough Foundation, an est offshoot, as also the Hunger Project, and the simply transcendent Holiday Project, and as my decade of crunchy cult goodness came to a close, Ron Kennedy's 'Man Woman Training'. The last of these I did, in Russia, afforded us western participants the eerie realization that we were doing a seminar peppered with KGB agents (Moscow, then-USSR, 1989).
No, they did not exactly get into the groove.

Tin Pan Dragon chariot adjacent to “The 10 Principles”...a series of values which the Burning Man community feels should be guidelines for human behavior. The low-key warm color image is felt to better symbolically represent the Burning Man philosophy than the harsher high-contrast black and white monochrome previously submitted. This is my preferred image of the many I captured at the exhibition. Everyone will come away from the exhibit with different takes I suspect. It encourages one to look more closely at our surroundings and values. A tremendous photo-op. B/W alternate: flic.kr/p/2gnekBM

Saw this poster on FaceBook, and I know it is a banal self-evident statement- but I had never looked at what I was doing in that particular metaphorically way, and it changed me- before I thought of myself as hiding from the problem and hoping it wouldn't find me, but now I realize that in stalling, or running, I can never get past the problem. I have started running toward problems instead of away.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All your misery and unhappiness are in your head, not in your life. They are in this illusory and separatist mind; in this mind and its beliefs. Without this, there is no conflict, there is no fear and no suffering. The fear is only possible when the sense of separation is present... You are beyond the senses, beyond the experience "mind, body and world". ~Master Gualberto ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Toda a sua miséria e infelicidade estão em sua própria cabeça, não em sua vida. Estão nessa mente ilusória, separatista; nessa mente e suas crenças. Sem isso, não há conflito, não há medo e não há sofrimento. O medo só é possível quando o sentido de separação está presente... Você está além dos sentidos, além da experiência “mente, corpo e mundo”. ~M.

Government breakdown, arrival of ETs predicted in 2008. Dolores Cannon, "The Convoluted Universe, Book 3, page 524.
The comprehension ends with the words. When there is comprehension, there is no word, any word. People communicate because they are not real. The Truth does not communicate, because It is not dual. The Truth has nothing to report, nothing to say, nothing to talk about. You come to me by the reason of the Truth, of what the Silence expresses. That's what gives you comprehension. ~Master Gualberto ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A compreensão termina com as palavras. Quando há compreensão, não há palavra, nenhuma palavra. Pessoas se comunicam porque não são reais. A Verdade não se comunica, a Verdade não é dual. A Verdade não tem nada a comunicar, nada a dizer, nada a falar. Você volta a mim em razão da Verdade, daquilo que o Silêncio expressa. É isso que lhe dá compreensão. ~Mestre Gualberto ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Foto: Pôr do sol.

3 layer linocut on Japanese rice paper mounted on reclaimed lumber mounted on a birch and oak support. 39.5 x 27 inches.
One piece of many in the Poets of the Paste.
June 13th - July 13th, 2008
Opening Reception: Friday, June 13th, 2008
Poets of the Paste unites four figurative artists known for their striking images that comment on nature, contemporary society and the everyday lives we live. These artists transform public spaces to moments of private reflection with an emphasis on careful craftsmanship. ELBOW-TOE, Armsrock, Gaia, and Imminent Disaster have left their marks on the urban landscapes, generously giving their talent to the public, to time and to the elements. Now they bring their skills together at Ad Hoc Art; through drawings, stencils, paintings and block prints incorporated onto various media.
...just a playful Draft about the Effekts of our today Deeds on the upkoming Futures: All our Aktions influence all our Tomorrows, so be kareful, Passenger of the Multiverse, what you do in this very Moment - since your Grandchildren have to live with it... ;O)
Farsightedness is an Obligation!
Our world can heal itself...and so can we.
Dream Entry:
5/26/10
"There is a creature which lies in the dirt at the water's edge. He has no hair and is covered with gooey blue skin. I can see under his slimy surface that he has veins, but he is very moist with raw shiny flesh. I know he is dying because the environment around him is dying too. Toward the end of this vision, things turn around and he begins to heal. All the slimy blue flesh begins to dry up and turn into beige flakey skin. He seems to be highly intelligent, healing himself quickly now until he can stand up."

There's one signature here that I cannot identify! It's the one tagged as such in the annotations. Please let me know if you know who this is! It's driving me crazy.
UPDATE 4/28/09: The t-shirt has since gotten the signatures of about 10 more cartoonists that attended the Toon Award Exhibition in Okoboji, IA, so this picture is now out of date! ^_^;
