Why does the Eccentric Outsider Artist have No Face?
by John DAgostino, Doctor, a.k.a. John Dog

I woke up today around 7:30 am. First time that I slept through the morning call to prayer in a long time. I wouldn’t be missed at the cami, the reason being that I never go being the good atheist that I am. It’s quarter to nine and I’ve had my breakfast of beans, eggs, and toast. I washed this back with a mug of Russian coffee with a bit of hazelnut cream in it. I did what I had to in the bathroom. Squeezed the pimple that appeared on my nose over night then stood on the balcony to see who has up and about this bright Manavgat morning.

Two things have been running through my head in the last 24 hours plaguing my waking hours and my sleep. The first being, what would I sing at karaoke tonight and the second of no less importance have been ponderings about the recent wave of bombings in Turkey. But, before I go to karaoke tonight I ought to finish the sculpture that I am working on. It’s a little piece, the figure of a man made from found objects; a block of wood, pieces of a worn out mop handle, an old paint brush, a bolt, and a few other bits of this and that. It’s painted red, white, and blue. The bolt protrudes disproportionately large from the lower torso and is painted purple, something resembling a whopper of a throbbing erection. I need to find a small cylinder to add to the sculpture. I’ll paint it to look like an oil drum. Someplace on the base of the piece I’ll scribble the title, “Bush got a purple knob”.

Mick Jaeger asks three questions in his song, “Sister Morphine”. One is, “How long have I been lying here?”, then “What am I doing in this place?” and the other, “Why does the doctor have no face?” I’ve been practicing the words to this song although it is not on the karaoke playlist. They have “Honky Tonk Woman”, maybe I’ll do that.

I think of “the scream of the ambulance sounding in my ears.” I think of the bombings this week and one that happened about two months ago in the town where I live. I was there at the waterfall and saw it, out for a small Sunday picnic with an international assortment of friends. I saw the explosion. I saw the blood. I saw a child laid out on the concrete. There was a large woman in white. She lay there not moving as someone beat on her chest, gave her mouth to mouth, and her dress just became more and more red. I felt sick to my stomach, others did too. Luckily we were across the narrow river and none of us where hurt. There would be no bar-b-que today. I was driving so I made the decision to pack it in and head home. We all got pretty drunk that night. It was no gas canister as reported by the press.

Although, I am an atheist, I am no nihilist. I have Buddhist tendencies and am warm to the lovey-dovey aspects of Christianity. “Why does the doctor have no face?”, “How long have I been lying here?” I wonder which of these is the more important question. The first question confronts issues of reality and illusion. The second is temporal and physical, it searches for information on a present state of being in time and space. There was no gas canister, there were no weapons of mass destruction, the Chinese will soon take over the world. The press, television perpetuates the hallucinations that the powers at be desire us to believe.

“Well, it just goes to show that things are not what they seem.”

Religion, nationalism, political idealism has not brought peace even in this modern “enlightened” world. Maybe one should give nihilism a closer examination. Ethical nihilism, the rejection of customary beliefs, morality, and religion, if practiced could take fuel from the fires of those inciting terrorism be it, fanaticalism, nationalistic, or the “state terrorism” of the west and Israel. Of course I am not advocating political nihilism in the sense that some in Russian expounded in 1860. Revolutionary reform such as this promoted terrorism and destruction of all social, political, and economic institutions. In the end we meet the new boss and he’s same as the old boss.

Fatalism and the passivity that it spawns has it’s flaws. It disempowers the individual from the little strength each of us common folk have. It weakens our resolve to try to effect change in a world which has long been a ball of confusion. And things ain’t got any better since the words to that song were written either. So what’s a poor boy (or girl) to do? This is a question all must ask, no matter what political, social, or economic clan you belong to, religion you practice, or country you reside in.There is only one answer. All with any sense of reason knows the answer- promote peace. Vote the war mongers out of office, follow religious and political leaders who are moderate in their views and who work towards change without the killing, refuse to support violence as a solution. Do we really want to live in a world where terrorism and pre-emptive attacks are common place, as they are today.

If you and I do not take this task to heart and try to do what we can promote peace, mutual respect, and work towards a just global society that mutually benefits all it’s members, there is little chance to live in a world without fear. Guns and bombs kill people, but fear kills our soul.

Consequentially, although we may survive a bombing across the river, across an ocean, or across a continent,

“You know and I know that in the morning we’ll be dead.”

New Eyes and More New Eyes for the John Dog

My 2006 work focuses on vision and the psychology of visual perception. Yeni Gözler is Turkish for new eyes. I started doing some new eccentric outsider art based on eyes and coffee cups after I got a cataract operation in January 2006. I re-visit some old themes that I began working with 15 years ago on my yenigözler site, but this work is completely opposite from the simple centrally composed eccentric outsider art images that you'll find there. I have painted so many coffee cups in my life, 1000's. I can draw them with my eyes closed - well yes and no - these 10 digital paintings are products of that experiment. Each painting has 3 pairs of cups in them for a total of 6 in each painting, that's if I managed to keep the mouse in the right place and didn't go off the digital picture plane

John Dog, Eccentric Outsider Artist, Hangin´ in Montanita in Ecuador.

2005-11-11T09:35:00.000-08:00

I walk into an internet cafe in Montanita, Ecuador. There are 2 in town. This one is empty so the line will be fast and clear. Ten minutes later the place is full and I´m twirling my thumbs waitting for the bytes to flow through them little bitty lines. At $2 and hour I´d wish things would speed up.

Been traveling around the world taking pictures to maybe make sum outsider art or get sum inspiration for sum stories, but been raining here for two days. I can here the rain pounding now after a morning of watching the surfer dudes and dudettes. This be the place to surf in Ecuador.

There be a few artists in town. They aren´t as eccentric as me be, but they got dreads. Gotta love this place. Bottles of rum are three and a half bucks. Tasty meals of shrimp and other seafood is just as cheap. That is a good recipe for a good time for the eccentric outsider artist know as the John Dog.

There be the friendliest dogs here too. They got dogs all over the place. I feel right at home.
Being that there are a lot of dogs here there is plenty of opportunity to spread the shit cause the dog shit is all over the beach. If you don´t know about spreading the shit, then you need to go to The Only True God website. Well I will have to write more later cause it´s liquid lunch time, and I don´t mean soup. Massively huge beers are a dollar.

The big party is happening tonight. Someplace there will be a bon fire, booze, beer, bongs - my favorite 3 ´B´s besides Betty´s Big Boobs and butt. What a totally cool town, nothing to do on these muddy streets, but party and surf anf the John Dog don´t surf cause of my bad legs. So I spend my time watching and partying and then napping a bit so I can party some more. Well Adios for now, Hasta Luego

August Repost Chapter One: Ward, Go Easy on the Beaver tonight. by John Dog, a.k.a. John D'Agostino, Eccentric Outsider Artist
I was quizzing Carlin on the words that you couldn't say on television. George had his lips wrapped around the business end of a hookah nursing a bowl of opiated hash. The sweet aroma of cannabis and damp panties hung low in the room like the proverbial second shoe waiting to be dropped. George's bright red face lightened as he exhaled and he gasped, "No, you can't say CUNT on television."
The Dude was drinking his usual White Russians staring at the 4 milk jugs on the two white Russians who were rubbing their thighs on mine. He kept cocking his head back and forth looking at the bimbos. He said, "Hey, Hank which one of them girls who are rubbing on your thighs there is the one that came with me. I said, "Fuck, if you don't know then it sure as shit beats the hell out me". There was a pause, then a nod. "Oh, right" said the Dude.	I went back to pounding Carlin for more answers. I was into some bookies for some long green on a nag who came up short and needed cash in a hurry. I thought I could write some gags for Johnny Carson and make a few extra bucks. So I sez to George, What 'bout pussy, can I say pussy? Carlin, "only if the next word is 'cat'." What about, twat, poontang, nookie, cookie? Carlin, "twat and poontang, definitely not, nookie maybe, cookies, is ok, but only if you say 'milk and' before."
The screen door squeaked and I instinctively reached for my piece under the sofa. "Hello, Hello, ya'll, Mamma's back with da goods" and in Mamma stepped. Mamma was a big black woman, must have weighed 210…. kilos not pounds. The thin thread worn cotton flowered sun dress / muumuu that clung to her moist brown body barely contained her bulk. It was a hot and humid morning. Mamma had breakfast for us, 4 six packs of malt liquor and 2 dozen sliders from the White Castle over on Easy Street. She plopped down on an armchair that was narrower than it needed to be. The sides creaked, then the arms tweaked outward under the pressure of her massive legs, but the chair held. She put 2 six packs and a dozen sliders beside her on the floor and handed me the rest.
George and the bimbos went straight for the burgers. Hash will do that to you. The Russian babes were saying, "Thank you, thank you, ve love American food, White Castle rocks, hee hee". I grabbed a brew and tossed another to the Dude which knocked him in the head. I hadn't noticed that he had nodded out. He said, "Ouch" then he saw the unopened beer in lap and said, "Oh, thanks man".
Mamma was on the run from the law. She was wanted for questioning in the death of two midgets who worked for the Coon's Brothers Soul Circus. The pair of them were found together in the same extra large queen size bed crushed and suffocated to death. An extra large queen size pair of women's knickers was also found at the scene. Mamma wasn't worried about beating that rap, after all it was just a freak accident. But, what worried Mamma were the 583 outstanding traffic violations against her. Mamma drove like a bat outta hell, and the MAN wanted a piece of her. Mamma had an 84 Cadillac Eldorado convertible. With the top down she had no problem getting into her ride. She had the front seats removed when she bought the thing. She drove from the back seats. She was that big. She filled the car. No room for passengers at all. In her defense, this was no full size Caddy of the seventies; remember there was an oil shortage back then. The 8 cylinder engine was bored to 600 cubic inches, was fuel injected, and turbo charged. But that's another story for another time. So we drank and we smoked the better part of the morning away; Mamma, me, and the rest. George was still up. The Dude and one of the Ruskies slipped off to a bedroom or a bathroom or someplace. I guess he finally figured it out.
I looked at the long legged one and asked, "Can I see your axe wound?", "Can I see your gash?". "Vhat are you talking about?", she says. I turn an eye towards Mamma and I say, "Can I see your axe wound?", "Can I see your gash?" Mamma says, "You want to see some gash, I'll go in the kitchen an' git me a butcher knife an' then I show you some gash, you dirty old bastard." George piped in, "Those are keepers, you can use those." And, so started my new career as a television joke writer. By the way, "What is the dirtiest thing ever said on television?"

Dining Tips from Dirty Old Outsider Art Maker
by John DAgostino, Eccentric Outsider Artist, a.k.a. The John Dog

Does anyone know these two young ladies. I can't remember where I took this picture. I work the bars with my polaroid. Give me a shout if you know 'em. There is unfinished business to attend to.

BLACK COFFEE

WHITE WINE
Chicken breast marinated in beer is a tasty alternative to a traditional wine sauce. PBR will work, any lager or blonde will do. Wasted days and lonely nights if I wasn't so loaded I'd remember these lovelies, ain't that right. A bird in the oven is worth two in the bush that's what me old gran' dad used to say. What's in your oven, Mr. Bakerman - bisquits and buns? Gran' Ma says you need to keep the fire stoked until they're both good and done. She said, Now don't forget that son.

Coffee, blood, or wine, which shall I sip while I dine. If you wake at dawn the choice comes naturally – caffeine to get the heart pumping. If you sleep till noon it may be harder to decide. If you are eating a late brunch of eggs, pastries, and the like – a Cup O Joe is fine. If you go for a lot of meats then your best bet is wine. Blood should only be drunk when the sun is down.

More notes of a dirty old outsider artist can be found here. The polaroid gig ain't bad, ya meet a lot of pretty women down there, at the Chicken Ranch Bar and Grill. If your daughters go missing you might just find them near, to a soldier, a sailor, a cowboy tryin' to nail her. Send me some money so I can buy beer. I got all the crap shots and snap shots in my rain coat pockets. I'll sell them to the highest bidder. Or I'll hold them and stare and sit in my holey underwear, painting pretty pictures of girls with dark and light hair.

That's my nature, that's what I do. I'm a dirty old eccentric outsider art maker, what do you do?

Dog Meat Brat Developed by Eccentric Outsider Artist

Dog Meat Sausage Outsider Artist Gets Bang Out of Dog Meat Bratworst

By John DAgostino, Press Associated Writer
Sunday Sept 11 15, 5:56 PM ET
-

JOHNSBIGHEAD, NJ. - John's Big Head Dog Meat Sausage and Outsider Art Co. President and Eccentric Outsider Artist, The John Dog gets a real bang out of making dog meat bratworst a hot seller.

Last week, following an eccentric tradition, he lit a firecracker in his secretary's bum to celebrate a change to its "Meaty Serve" precooked dog meat sausage that made it taste almost as good as a fresh-grilled spoiled brat.

"I've gone through quite a few secretaries," said Eccentric Outsider Artist, The John Dog, 48. "We celebrate innovation here in very weird ways."

And despite the barrage of diets and an ingredient list that shows three-quarters of a brat's calories come from added pig's fat, John's Big Head Dog Meat Sausage and Outsider Art Co. has continued to grow. Last year, sales rocketed 500% percent.

"I think with all the world's problems and fears of terrorism, people are really frustrated and they're throwing up their arms and saying, 'What the fuck, you only live once, let's just go for a delicious dog meat bratworst,'" said Maria Worut, an associate professor of nutrition at the Bi-Product Institute of America.

John's Big Head Dog Meat Sausage and Outsider Art Co. still remains privately owned, after the Eccentric Outsider Artist, The John Dog family in 1903 bought back the 25 percent stake it sold in 1864 to Sarah Bee, owner of the Farmshire Hills and Dimmy Jean sausage brands.

Hoped-for synergies in deviance did not pan out, but the two remained "friendly swingers" throughout, the Grinch said. Eccentric Outsider Artist, The John Dog said the family remained too involved. "It's not an emotional thing, it's purely a sexual thing," he said. "We grew up in the porn-dog business and we just didn't want to part with our secret family fetishes."

Through its growth at home and abroad, what hasn't changed about the company is the original brat's secret spice formula — still known only by Eccentric Outsider Artist, The John Dog and his father. Two Asian vendors each produce half of the mix and it's combined in a bathtub hidden in their basement.

But Eccentric Outsider Artist, The John Dog realized that constant innovation pays off, like the Meaty Serve Dog Meat Brat, which took 40 years of bribes to health official to allow its sale in the U.S.

Eccentric Outsider Artist, The John Dog said he is focused on turning the company into a international brand and is eyeing several new global markets to move into, like China. "We want to be the Coca-Cola of dog meat sausage. It's our vision, our destiny, our god-given right. And it should happen in my lifetime," Eccentric Outsider Artist, The John Dog said. "The good news is greed runs in the family, and a hell of a lot of Chinese love dog meat."

Apologies to RYAN NAKASHIMA, Associated Press Writer, for dropping an A-Bomb on his original story.

super web designer plays cards with dirty old outsider artist

Russ and Me
by Eccentric Outsider Artist, John DAgostino, a.k.a. John Dog

I used to live in Translyvania but have since moved to Turkey. I am only doing this blog page for my old pal Russ and the team at Millennium web site design because I now live too far away to hang out with him and play cards. He is so dedicated to his clients that whenever he receives an e-mail or a call he just drops his cards on the table right in the middle of a game and attends to business. That's great for you - the website or web hosting customer. But lousy for his card playing buddies like me. We play for fun. We don't gamble. Russ is great at SEO, search engine optimization. He taught me tons of stuff. My sites rank high on all search engines. Do a search of eccentric artist on yahoo or google and see for yourself, You also want to check out the Live-Team site to see some of the custom website designs from millennium web designs that Russ and the team does.

Nela, Russ's wife, is also part of the website design team. She is a wonderful digital artist, designer, and a great cook and hostess as well. Talk about hosting, did I mention that Millennium also offers web hosting. I have about 15 different art and blog web sites on their servers. I am very satisfied with all the wide range of options available and the prompt customer support that I get from Russ when I need it. PS: Russ's website designs are 100 times more professional than my crazy eccentric art web sites.

After I wrote that piece and posted it I thought, shit I should write something like that about myself. Generally, I am a very modest person even though I have a really enormous head, you know my main site is johnsbighead.com and that I am an eccentric outsider artist that has cow stomachs for brains. So I am going to put those stomachs to work and write me a funny promo piece.

Kermit the frog sang, It's not easy being green. I know just what he means. I'm not green, but beinging a dirty old outsider artist is not as glamorous as you might imagine. Let's analyze step by step what it means to be a dirty old outsider art maker.

First, you got to be dirty. There are many ways to be dirty. You can be unclean, but this is not much fun. Greasy hair, smelly underarms, unshowered body is a great way to enhance your status as an outsider. Mainly, because no one will let you in the front door if you are out visiting folks. You will be asked to stay outside. The only advantage of being a smelly dirty old outsider artist is that you always have plenty of room around you when you are on the bus, metro, or subway. I talk dirty. My foul mouth makes up for my lack of foul odor. I got some dirty little thoughts too that slither out of my twisted mind and onto the page from time to time.

Second, old is not good. Wise is good. Mature is good. But there is nothing good about having a rickety old arthritic body. You can't frigging exercise as vigorously as you did when you were younger and that tends to increase your belt size considerably. When I was young I made massive sculptures of concrete and steel. Now the only metal I am lifting are aluminum cans of beer. I can never stop being creative so I paint weird pictures and write even weirder stories. My paintings are small and light. My writing is humorous, never too heavy. I rant politically once in a while, but I always do it with a smile. Did you catch that rhyme there – while – smile? I do that all the time. My eccentric old mind is going, going, gone. My Tourette's Syndrome is getting worse too. I blurt out the strangest things at the most inopportune times like in a quiet doctor's waiting room with lots of people in it. I make up a little song as soon as I catch myself and pretend I'm singing. - God damn cock sucker (opps) got the blues, love to rock and roll. I'm just a blues rock trucker. My memory ain't worth crap either like a floppy disk from a Commodore 64 gone bad.

This brings us to – outsider. Does anybody really choose to be an outsider? Well, maybe in a way. I definitely don't choose to be anyone that I'm not. I won't be a fake, or a phony, or an artistic prostitute. If what I do is outside the box (I know, a much over used phrase, if you don't like it, well, screw you raw) and if my art and writing is not in the loop (ditto), I got to be me. I got to be me. What else can I be, but what I am. Thank you Sammy, you can go home now. In some people's book I am not an outsider artist because I have been to art school, too many fucking years of art school. But heck, it beat working and I got a studio to make stuff in. My main claim to being a dirty old eccentric outsider artist is that I do it for me. I haven't sold a painting in like 7 or 8 years, not that I haven't tried, especially recently. I am old and I don't fit the mold.

There you have it. My art / writing speaks for itself. It is OUT there for you to enjoy or not. As I approach 50 I gotta say that I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm a poet ( notice the rhyme, say - way) my feet show it – they are long fellows. And you know what they say about people with long feet, that ain't all that is long - wink, wink.

Diary of an Eccentric Outsider Artist living in Exile

Conspiracy Against The John Dog, Part 2
by John D'Agostino, Eccentric Outsider Artist, a.k.a. John Dog

The plot thickens. I got word from my sources in the States that Johnny Law is after the John Dog, a.k.a. John DAgostino, Eccentric Outsider Artist. It seems like I'm wanted on some bogus contempt charge. Contempt my ass. The only contempt anyone can accuse me of is contempt for that election stealing Bush whacker. I know what this is really all about. I know what I'm talking about here. You see last year I was living in Romania doing my little bit to facilitate the harmonious integration of Eastern European states into the European Union. This is what this is all about. Bush, the treasury department, and the US financial elite want to thwart these efforts. The money men behind Bush don't want to see a stronger EU, a stronger competitor in the world markets. (see my July 29 Blog for more on the Conspiracy against the John Dog)
Mr. Businessman got his plan and it calls for putting the screws to the EU and throwing a monkey wrench into the drive train of the emerging Chinese economy. That's where I'm going next, Shang Hai, if the CIA ever puts enough pressure on the Turkish government to get me deported. China is the new monster in Bush's fear campaign. He had us all so afraid of that camel fucker Saddam and the other A-rabs that the American people stuck their collective heads up their collective asses and forgot to look at the piss poor state of the US economy. Well I got no job, I got no money, and you ain't gonna get no rent money next Friday, but frigging Bush gets re-elected to a second term. But the men in the suits see the light at the end of the tunnel for that billion dollar Iraqi blow job and they be looking to the future.
It wasn't so long ago that the FCC granted the big boys in the media industry the green light to get involved in the internet and cable. The CIA backed media giants are steadily increasing their grip on the minds of the American people and the world. Independent thinkers, like John D'Agostino, Eccentric Outsider Artist, a.k.a. John Dog have no place in their plan to flood the airwaves and cyber space with "their truth". Weapons of mass destruction, give me a fucking break.
Seems like war mongering Bush and daddy war bucks Cheney are mopping up their business in Iraq and Afghanistan. The oil is pumping and the gas is flowing and Halliburton is keeping the troops well supplied. The Bush and Bin Laden families are making plenty of big bucks. That's the way the buddy system works in the oil industry. But read the headlines on Yahoo and listen to the reports on CNN and get a clue where the next battle begins. China Submarine Possible Threat, Chinese Yuan threatens the Dollar, China Economy Growing cut back Trade Aid, China's link to African Dictators Alarming, China Ready to Use Nuclear Weapons against US, Unocal Threatened by Chinese Take Over, the list goes on and on, enter the dragon, enter the NEW BOOGEY MAN.
Iran and North Korea are done deals. Remember the Axis of Evil? Twas a brilliant piece of Bush administration PR work, three for the price of one. Fear is not the breeding ground for a peaceful and harmonious world. Threats only breed more threats and spawn hatred and misunderstanding. Who wants to live in a world consumed by fear? I certainly don't. I'd rather rest my lazy bones on the beach in southern Turkey. I can write my shit and talk my trash here and no one minds. The Turks aren't crazy about the America that Bush and the Republicans have created either.
There is some fear here in Turkey but it is much more manageable. People do worry about money and feeding their families but that's a global concern with the languishing growth of the world economy. The Kurdish issue persists and isn't helped by the US's involvement in Iraq. The PKK doesn't need any support or encouragement to think that an independent state is a possibility. My two cents on that pipe dream (and it is a pipe dream, an oil pipe dream) is - Would Texas have the right to become an independent country if the majority of the population were of Mexican origin? I don't think that Mr. Bush and his cronies would like that idea.
Well, there's some food for thought, fodder for the cannons, shit for the fan, more evidence of sedition. Strike that last phrase I would never incite anyone to do anyone else any harm. The conspiracy against me, John Dog, Eccentric Outsider Artist, a.k.a. John D'Agostino is small. I just read about an extremely sad miscarriage of justice and the theft of two people's individual rights. Go to http://www.annettemartini.us/brief01.htm and read about the horrors that befell Annette and Tony Martini and the role the US government had in the conspiracy. If you read the "entire" document, no skimming, I'll even buy you a cup of coffee, seriously. I put my money on the counter and stand behind these two people's courageous fight against the corrupt system that's posing as Democracy in America today.

I have been taking a lot of heat lately from the U.S. government. I am in exile in Turkey because of my out spoken stance against the war in Iraq. Now the CIA and the U.S. government is waging a disinformation campaign about little ol' eccentric outsider artist me. A friend of mine found this on an art blog on the web.

What The John Dog Doesn't Want You to Know
In order to understand how Eccentric Outsider Artists are being used to corrupt the masses you need to realize that everything is controlled by a The Bad Artist Network (www.badartist.net) made up of outsiders with help from eccentric artists and liberal politicians.The conspiracy first started after the death of Picasso. They have been responsible for many events throughout history, including the film noir movement.Today, members of the conspiracy are everywhere. They can be identified by their chain-smoking, drinking, and paint stained fingers..They want to destroy all CIA sponsored network television, conservative Republican war mongers, and imprison resisters in Neverland using 16 wheelers to get them there.In order to prevent this, we all must go to the streets and protest. Since the print media is controlled by the ACLU we should get our information only from the White House, George W. Bush or network television.
And most of all DO NOT LOOK AT THESE WEB PAGES

Tolerance of eccentric outsider artist behavior, non-discrimination against the eccentric and outsider to create prefect John Dog harmony
edited by John DAgostino, Eccentric Outsider Artist, aka John Dog
written by Ambassador Omur ORHUN

A conceptual approach to tolerance of eccentric outsider artist behavior and non-discrimination against the eccentric and outsider:
Today, we all seem to agree that a colorful democracy is the best form of government. Fundamental and indispensable elements of a colorful democracy are worth remembering:

Tolerance of eccentric outsider artist behavior for aesthetic differences and artistic freedom of expression of thought and belief, which are the basis of creativity and development;
Participation in the arts, which bolsters the awareness of common responsibility;
Solidarity of all artists, which is the complementary element of civic identity;
And finally transparency when using layers of paint, which enables togetherness in solving problems of composition without ignoring aesthetic differences of opinion.

We must learn to enjoy our aesthetic differences, while one outsider art maker respecting the others. Aesthetic differences should not lead to discrimination against the eccentric and outsider.

Nations of art makers and societies of artists, like individuals, act in their perceived best interest; however, they should understand that bridging the gaps between divergent best interests is the key to common recuperative capacity.
Nowadays we also witness increasing demands to enhance action against racism, xenophobia, censorship, discrimination against the eccentric and outsider and related intolerance of eccentric outsider artist behavior.

Many international organizations, NGOs and also governments are paying particular attention to the question of tolerance of eccentric outsider artist behavior and non-discrimination against the eccentric and outsider. These efforts are welcome, but until this lack of unity sickness is completely cured, they are bound to remain either ineffective or temporarily effective aesthetically.

It is a well-established fact that principles of tolerance of eccentric outsider artist behavior and non-discrimination against the eccentric and outsider lie at the center of the human rights system of all painters, sculptors, performance artists, writers, artists of all types. These principles are also closely linked to the concept of mutual outsider art respect. Mutual outsider art respect, on the other hand, is based on equality in dignity as well as equality in benefiting from human rights of all artists.

Disregard for tolerance of eccentric outsider artist behavior and non-discriminatiön against the eccentric and outsider principles leads to the dismantling of peaceful, secure and stable societies and harms inter-state relations. A colorful democracy and protection of fundamental artistic freedoms and human rights, on the other hand, are essential safeguards of tolerance of eccentric outsider artist behavior and non-discrimination against the eccentric and outsider.

What can be done to promote tolerance of eccentric outsider artist behavior and combat discrimination against the eccentric and outsider?

We can and we must speak out swiftly, clearly and forcefully against intolerance of eccentric outsider artist behavior and discrimination against the eccentric and outsider. By doing so, we will be helping to protect our fellow citizens from hate-filled segments of society.
We can and we must condemn those who discriminate against the eccentric and outsider in word or in action.
Authorities in the area of outsider art respect have a special responsibility to protect their citizens. They must see to it that tolerance of eccentric outsider artist behavior and non-discrimination against the eccentric and outsider are not in short supply.
Declaratory statements are, of course, welcome but are not enough. We must put into practice what we preach. In other words, we must not only share the same basic values, we must also act in line with this conviction
Cultures, in their diversity, complement and enhance one another. We must, therefore, confirm our conviction on the necessity of John Dog harmony among cultures and civilizations and attainability of this John Dog harmony.
The main means to support coherence and solidarity and to avoid racial, religious artistic, and cultural prejudices is to enhance our knowledge of one another through creative communication and cooperation for the promotion of common universal aesthetic values, such as those enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Artistic Rights and other relevant international human artistic rights instruments. To this end all political entities have a joint responsibility to contribute to the achievement of these goals.
We must reaffirm that artsy fartsy terrorism cannot be justified for any reason whatsoever. Also, we must recognize the joint responsibility to fight artsy fartsy terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
We must be committed to defining problems emerging from cultural prejudices and political and economic injustices and to promoting solutions that will contribute to universal peace, welfare and stability.

Some New Bad Art

Tom Waites sang "warm beer an' cold, seems I just don't fit in 'cause every joint that I've stumbled into tonight that's just how it's been" One night a guy at the Kiss Bar, where I hang out was hassling this girl I new. She went out with him on a date and now he thought he owner her. He wouldn't leave this girl alone. She was talking with other friend's and made it clear that after the one date she wasn't interested. Finally she told him TO GET LOST and he did. And it was probably a wise move cause she was about 6 inches and 50 pounds over him.

Some Old Bad Art

A friend gave me a piece of Louve Canvas Board and I painted this picture on it. I am troubled by the dog on my head with two tails. The dog is made of wood with posts for ears. I painted this picture about two years ago. I love women, but I seem to have the worst luck wid dem. I just don't know. The Gorillaz sing - There's a monkey in the jungle watching a vapor trail caught up in the conflict between his brain and his tail. Nuf Said

Peace, Love, Dove,

A Psych0 Cup O' Joe

2005-01-11T18:00:00.000-08:00

Almost cup my hair the other day. It's getting kind of espresso long. I could of said it wasn't my way. Woke cup this morning with a ma-shine gun in my head. Heart attack and dis-vine surely soon be dead. Have another cup o' joe, open one eye. Peel back the lid, shot blood red. No innocent victims, gonna smoke em till I die. Fara Zahar, nothing sweet, light a Lucky ghost. Rid the bitter stench and smell the beans roast. Smoke gets in my eyes, doggy moms and their cuppies. Cup all night in a blue-purple haze, distant memories.Sirens brew an early dawn, burning out tired young yuppies. Sip a little whiskey, it help what come out the coffee urn. Good coffee, cup o' joe, might, might not get me what I earn. Can't know where you going if you don't know where you been. Speed too fast pain in my chest, java junkie, call me John Dog. Caffeine makes my heart beat, have women just for sin.What's the story? Where's the beef? Why ask if I lie? Cup o Joe dreams, illusions and cigs maintain us till we cry. Sun come cup night get down, Super Holy It, stains and ashes. We are all to blame, bear the shame, accidents don't happen. Violence on the t.v., living like this decades pass us. Shot of tequilla, drink some mud, eggs, bacon and a side of toast. Coffee brewing, music to my ears, a Cup O' Joe what I love most.

Well it is nice outsider art we are having lately, isn't it?

http://www.eccentric-art.com/

We haven't had such good outsider art in a long time.

http://www.cup-o-joe.com/

It is wonderful to see that the outsider art is shining and that
the outsider artists are blooming again.

http://www.art-links.org/
If we had one more day of bad outsider art,
I think I would have cut my wrists.

A long cold outsider artist can really put you in a gloomy mood.

I am happy that we can enjoy this outsider art together.
