A Trip Through Time

1. No security check
2. A beach with nobody on it
3. A pinched feeling on the left elbow and earlobes
4. Feeling nauseated
5. A teenager under the influence heckles you from up close

A POPULAR FAMILY

Here is another one from Scott Rideout. I know, I know, you're thinking, "What about the the other artists?" And now that it has come to the board's attention that you are asking that question we will make an effort to prod each other until Tuggz, Cindzer, and Ponui produce some more work. But can you really prod an artist and expect them to make something that is worth anyone's time? The answer is probably no. So instead we are changing the format of this blog (DON'T WORRY!!!! it will only be for about a month{{not long at all}} and then we will settle in to our normal zig and zag) into a more stripped down version of imaginary reality. Think of it as an imaginary vacation from fantasy. This will free up some of the artists' time to make some hi-def work. But enough of that, what of today? Here is a vision of the Simpon's household that you don't see every time you turn on the TV. I hope they are all okay, Homer always made me laugh. On an unrelated note, if you ever see this painting in "real life" PLEASE contact us! It was given to someone on temporary loan and now it is nowhere to be found.

A SORRY START

On the first day of 2010 we have suffered a most egregious attack. As a whole, our species has always been its own arch-rival above any other. Up until today. They have come from the skies and they have produced no excuse for their acts of violence. The most popular theological conjecture is that they have come to harvest our souls. Some think they are here to punish us. Inexplicably, with each human life lost, one of them disappears. Is it any consolation at all? Many people think not.

ONE FOR THE MONEY AND TWO FOR THE SHOW

Two fountainheads and only one offering. But perhaps this tool of cleaving--and death-weaving--will do the trick and the sources of protoplasm and metaplasm will be sated for the time being. Behind the curtain, where no sun rises, we find a different economy of forces from a page out of Scott Rideout's sketchbook.

PEOPLE OF EARTH

If there is one thing that we can all agree upon its that life can be tough sometimes. Here is another drawing from Richard Tuggz's "People of The Beach" collection.

Fur is Murder

On this dreary, bleary, weary day we're given another beach scene by Richard Tuggz. Tuggz spent the majority of his formative years landlocked in Arnett, Oklahoma. His mother worked in a small time maintenance supply warehouse, where Tuggz was employmed throughout his highschool days. Once he graduated he moved to Palm Coast, Florida where he did some freelance editorial work for the local paper, as well as doing some freelance work in the orange groves. He spent ten years living in different towns along the eastern coast of Florida before he moved to New England.

C0LLABORTATION #4

And with this final picture we wave goodbye to the November Thank-Yous cross country team-up of Millie Cindzer, Scott Rideout, Alana Ponui, and Richard Tuggz. As always we end with a beginning. This shaman of ambiguous origin has found his white whale, but what on earth lies beyond the portal? Or should the question be, what NOT on earth lies beyond the portal? In our collective futures, when the candid snapshot has become as venerable as the pyramids at Giza, and the neighbor's cats are giving us tips on new energy sources, we find a hero/ine who is only responding to the praise that festers in the inner self. We may never find any of the answers for our hero's avaricious ambitions. To be sure, whats rights will be mites, and we'll all suffer a few bites. Remember to not be the one that is all-the-way consumed! Never fear, for the next post will bring us right back to business as usual.

COLLABORATION #3

We've entered into another situation that may have never ever happened. Could it be that if this sword brandishing young warrior had indeed succeeded in vanquishing his opponent we wouldn't have The Blue Man Group with us today? Has anybody ever seen where they actually come from? Or maybe this person is a greasey curr in search of a cut of the royalties. If someone were to pull this purple aether-drapery aside they would indubitably be face to face with parts unknown. That is for sure. Thanks for stopping by to see the third, and second to last installment of the FORCES, Unltd. giving thanks collaboration series. Turn in your badge and take some time off.

COLLABORATION #2

From the End of Time to the Middle of Nowhere. The mysteries of space and time may never be unlocked, but the certainties of the mind are as elusive as a vaporous eel. We find ourselves at the end of a very long trek through a formless landscape. This glowing, fenced in thing has awaited us for who knows how long, and its purposes are undoubtedly weird. What are we doing here? Only the mind knows, and it's not telling anyone. This is number two in the small FORCES, Unltd. collaboration series. Remember to get plenty of exercise and eat a varied diet.

COLLABORATION NATION

These guys really put the ATE in COLLABORATE, eh? So, let me tell you what this is all about. A certain number of people deserved a little something special and we at FORCES, Unltd. got together and decided that a combined effort of the artists on this web log would hopefully cut the mustard. Each painting has been worked on by any combo of three of the FORCES artists. You decide if the mustard has been cut! The pieces have already been sent out, but you can still tell us what you think. As an added pinch of fun, you can also guess which artist was NOT involved in each drawing.

X GAMES

Alana Ponui is the youngest artist in the group featured on this blog, but she has led a wild, wild lifestyle. In 1985 she was born two months premature while her parents were on a hiking trip in the Appalachian Mountains. It took two days for her parents to get her to a road and then to her mother's OBGYN. It was the beginning of a rough and tumble ride. Alana recently took to living in a cave and having her drawings picked up and uploaded by her partner in crime. This is the first of many paintings made in a cave.
