“Man is an artifact designed for space travel. He is not designed to remain in his present biological state any more than a tadpole is designed to remain a tadpole.” ~ William S. Burroughs

“Tell me thy company, and I’ll tell thee what thou art.” ~ Don Quixote
The artistic tradition of Don Quixote is very rich. The above is an engraving of Don Quixote done by Gustave Dore. With disorderly, but grand notions of chivalry picked from books, you might go mad too. Probably not in a bad way.
You might know about Johnny Depp in Terry Gillian’s ill-fated production,
The Man Who Killed Don Quixote…..
And now for my original drawing of Don Quixote…
Let’s never stop tilting at windmills my friends.
I know you probably wanted me say something cyberpunk bad-ass, but I just have to ask you something. I dare you to stare into her eyes and tell her, “NO, I will not buy your girl scout cookies.”
Anyway, enjoy your stay in cyberspace.
You heard me.

I don’t know what your Grandpa looked like, but this kind of reminds me of mine. As a kid he was kind of a gentle giant, a prankster, and yes, even a cool monster when he wanted to be.
The big chin especially brings me back. Can’t you just picture this cool monster popping out its teeth and scaring the grand kids. So Grandpa!

“We’ve got to risk implosion. We may explode into the biggest fireball this part of the galaxy has seen, but we’ve got to take that one in a million chance.” ~ Captain Kirk in ‘The Naked Time’
In the year 2010, Space Travel was possible. . . . But not very far.
Boldly going where no man has gone before was just a dream. There was no Mars. . . . no Jupiter moons. . . . . no the wannabe planet Pluto.. . . .
Who thought we’d have flying cars by now? Raise your hand. . . . . I know I did.
(Shakes a clenched hand up at an imaginary comic book thought bubble. This jittery phantom of a thought balloon lingered like an electric smoke cloud above my head, with a bit of static like an old lit television, bleed through from an ancient dead channel in a parallel Universe. It was the opening credits of the Jetson’s. . . . .
Starts singing the theme song like a kid again, “Jetson’s meet the Jetson’s” . . . . Coughs…… clears throat . . . . “ pauses….. Quickly looks around to see if anyone is watching while imaginary bubble disappears like a phantom.)
Anyways….. What’s really important is I have a new post to show you today. Something retro. Something new. Something 2010.
It’s my take on a Captain Kirk-like character design. Not exactly Kirk, but I think it has the feeling of that type of character.
Let me know what you think and Tell me how you imagined 2010 as a kid? How did you see your heroes? Any heroes that maybe you came up with when you were kid? Any sketches you wanna share????
Anyways I hope you enjoy. Until next time. . .
Beam me up Scotty!!!
Lest my homeboys (and girls) forget the Z and where it dwells… I hope you are all still chillin’ with me.
I was just trying to lay something down and homeboy up there was the character design.
We’re all still rockin’!
