Stuckism is an international art movement started in Britain in 1999 by Billy Childish and Charles Thomson. It strongely opposes the abuses of modern art. The group's ideas sounded much like my own and I wanted to contact them.
I did. I suggested some of my own work protesting modern art abuses, and I got a couple of nice e-mails back from Thomson. He, for…

Dear Reader,
I've always wanted to take our Dallas daily and see how much of it is hard news. Thankfully someone else has done it for me. Clay Shirky reports on his findings for his hometown paper. Then UTNE does the same experiment. They include photos of the results. Check them out and let me know what you think.

Reader,
Scenario: I've got a copy of the 'Secret Garden' that I loved reading as a child. IF I give this copy to a child now in 2009 .... I've broken the law and can face a $100,000 fine or time in jail. And sadly I am not kidding.
No, 2009 is not 1984, but it seems close. This is so outrageous that I wonder how it got past America? But it did. And it's the law.
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), is a law passed by congress in August 2008 in response to the fear of lead in to…

The scorecard for control of the arts and media is:
CORPORATIONS everything,
INDIES, less than ever.
Let's go category by category and see who controls it - Corporate art or Indy art.
Media - Corporate Art. Corporate owns the bulk of tv, and radio. They have way too much influence on the FCC, and NPR, with revenue sharing won't give a tough review. Indies can't get coverage or reviews; and have little coverage on any tv or radio. Indies can rarely even get a radio station on the internet let al…
