## Description

So....at what point does art / poetry / humor / biography / and crypto-art collide and become one unified THING??? RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW! (That was a song by Jesus Jones! Remember???) I'm no computer scientist, but I do love the POSSIBILITIES that are afforded by the digital art world...

Is this nonsense? Sure. Bad art? You betcha! Deeply amusing, poetic iconography? Yes---to me, at least... (And it kind'a reminds me of Van's shoes AND the 2-Tone ska movement---performers like The Specials and Selector and Madness... Great stuff...)

This is another piece that I'm making available as a single, unique work of cypto-art, but which I'm printing paper copies of (fakes!!!) to sell in the yard. (My yard has become a temporary gallery space during the summer months, and business has been pretty good! The ice-cream man seems particularly interested. He's bought one big painting and several t-shirts!!!) Meanwhile, for those folks who can't come visit me in my yard, you can still get your digital mitts on some crazy crypto-art!!! And that's pretty nifty, if you ask me.
