Description Still Reaching fOr the moon/Cataclysm!


the REAL title ...( if you are not of DA and unaware...they have a limit to title length of our work..yet in the same breath ....extol creativity.
( think ... * Bush as an advocate for freedom and human rights and someone who upholds the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution * as an example .....it's just as absurd )

Still Reaching fOr the moon /Cataclysm!

When those who use myths as an excuse to not have to fear their own personal lack of intelligence and rationality fall from the earth shattering catastrophe that could have been prevented had they exercised the power of their brains and found wisdom as an alternative, and pooled their new-found wealth towards answers beyond answers.

The moon is here ...but we ignore it as the first continued step for survival we should have taken long ago...and those who truly wanted to save humanity the only rational ways that exist were too few.

No myth will protect or absolve stupidity. The wind still blows up your grass skirts and bearskins after 20,000 years of civilization, regardless of the invention of fashion runways....i see it everyday and the year is 2008.
Tomorrow is the last to be heard...unless you unite your wisdom instead of eternally bouncing off of each others ignorance all day long and call it a day ......each and every day.


~~00~~

The more faded techno-splash over the moon ( as opposed to the left half ) represents the realization that a heightened effort of overcoming the problems of seeding man throughout the galaxy was more important than arguing forever over who's right and wrong over fictitious and fantasy afterlifes...
...That it took resources and direction of purpose from all of you ...not sitting back and waiting for time and tide to float it onto the shores of your apathy.
But it's too late now...What few survivors will remain will be the equivalent of a neo-stone age.

The additional hand in this one ...is yours.


~~00~~

Still Reaching fOr the Moon/Cataclysm! is the right half of a digidiptych ( say " digidiptych " 10 times real fast )




...the first half is here ------------>




Thanking my Stock providers /ARTners :

This is part of a larger " searching hands " series.

digidiptych...I'm so ignorant. Really cool effects and textures. Too bad it's too late for us, none but a rare few will ever possess the wisdom to truly reach the moon.

The magnificant Power of Stupidity

Bush is like the dog that eats his own poop and/or vomit to those of us watching it is disturbingly disgusting, but through Bush goggles it looks like a delicious T-Bone Steak with mashed potatoes and Gravy. Perception for him is so powerful that in his dillusional state he is able to trick his brain(?) and taste buds into believing he is indeed eating a steak dinner. He even gets the other lemmings in his gaggle of stupid to taste, and yes, even agree with him that it's the best damn steak they ever ate. Never under-estimate the power of stupid and it's legions. Know the difference between Shit and Steak and live your lives accordingly.

Oh by the way, Fang, as usual you are dead on it, you nailed it Bro! Once again you have made Photoshop your Beee-atch!

While some of us, in our own small way, are reaching for the moon, others, with access to far more resources, are trying to sell moonside advertising space ... we all know who will get there first

Go girl GO ! ...

i recently saw a news story of some nut in the U.S. who figured out that legally ( according to him ) no one owns the moon yet ..so he claimed it for himself....lol and here's the real crazy part....he sells parcels of land you can own on the moon and gives you a deed.... HE ACTUALLY MAKES so much money i think that's what he does full time now......

The day i look up at the moon and see McDonalds or Walmart or Microsoft ..is the day i really think about killing myself...

Hopefully the cost will be so expensive that most can only afford to write giant messages on the darkside of the moon because it's cheaper.

I read it all as well as the first version and agree completely! It seems that we take a gigantic step forward, become scared, and like the groundhog see our shadow (or the reminder that we're small and insignificant) and scurry back into our holes where we can safely explain the vast shadows we see in a way that comforts us most.

Two truly remarkable works that shove our human frailty in our scared faces!
