The Blitz

[serenity]

I have another blitz-related thing I'm doing this Friday. It's probably only of interest to people in Phoenix, but if any of you happen to be nearby, you're welcome to join in.


I've been hiding my paintings around the city for decades for anybody who's interested in finding them. I know it's lame, but I have fun doing it, it keeps my kids interested in art-related activities, and it's a lot more fun than standing around in a gallery and talking to people who walk in and pretend they give a crap.


This Friday, I'll begin releasing a series of inter-dimensional beings throughout the city. Clues to their whereabouts have already been hidden within the MITD poster we've been circulating. There's a secret in it. Study it and you may find our inter-dimensional friends.


I'll be releasing one every several hours between July 18 at 8:00 PM up to the hour before Art hits the airwaves on July 20. Every one you find is yours to keep. If you live in or around Phoenix and are interested in playing along, clues and images will be posted on the Facebook event page:

Rossy, they loved it and wanted to play along in tweets. Loved the little munching aliens.
I just pmed Art for appropriate email for their PR to have. They also want mine for potential artwork for them in future.

They want to post and share my art with more Funyuns and Paranormal nonsense.

Ha.

Perhaps rig them to explode when bitten?

[Jackstar]

careful now

a Russian agent contacted with WDS last week and provided detailed information about exactly how the Ukrainian "Maidan" revolution really took place. The agent infiltrated the Maidan revolt by showing up pretending to be a student. He was told to go to a US State Department run front organization where young protesters were given free food and shelter and paid 25 euros per day. In addition to this, according to the agent, "we were given all the free drugs we wanted." He said the Maidan protesters consisted almost entirely of stoned youth between the ages of 17 and 25. So there you have it, the US State Department handing out drugs and money to overthrow a democratically elected regime.

RECIPE UP ON "COOKING WITH CHEFIST"!!!

[chefist]

I'm in private messages with Funyuns. They just pmed me.

Please don't tell them I have reversed engineered their culinary masterpiece...I already have enough people to hide from!

[Spinner]

Okay, here we go. Here are those doubles and handbills, along with the original poster.....

Thanks, NXOOED!
I'll get a bunch of each printed tomorrow. I'm off work Wednesday, so that's when I'll "distribute" them around town.

Until then, I'm just posting the good news of Art's return in every forum I've ever joined. Will follow with emailing radio stations, and other media.

Busy, busy days ahead... 

[Zenman]

Wow! This Funyuns thing has gotten kinds scary.

Good scary!!

[albrecht]

I think NXOEED's MitD Handbill Campaign could make a great documentary subject all on its own. Going against contemporary trends (and even Art's exhortations) to ride social media hard to promote the new show, this Arizona maverick print artist hand drew and lettered a stark retro-punk poster that was designed to be stapled to light polls, taped inside storefront windows, and, most radically, placed personally into the hands of people. 

The result has been a recharge of existing fans' excitement, and perhaps the impetus for the creation of new Art Bell fans.

What NXOEED demonstrates, in no small way, is the literal power of art.

Some artist on here needs to make a version of the "Toynbee Tiles" for Art Bell, maybe with NXOEED's awesome poster.

Can you recap it for me? What' happened and is happening? Are Funyuns going to sponsor art or bellahaven?

That's a great idea. I'm a big fan of Toynbee Tiles. Here's one I saw two weeks ago on the Avenue of the Americas in NYC.

I just parachuted in. I was hoping you could tell me, Rossy.

Actually, I was kinda hoping to run into serenity. I'm thinking he's up to speed on it. Too bad we can't beep him, lol.

[Royal_Tenenbaum]

I got the Stuff They Don't Want You to Know people to tweet Art's coming back. 11.4k followers so hopefully someone notices. They mention Art every now and again on the show. Anyone know if IO9 has done something? I haven't  read Gawker sites in 3 years.

[Zenman]

Hopefully, some Reddit veterans will call in to Bella Haven tonight and give us noobies some tips.

It's kinda hairy over there even for us regular type forum vets who are new to it.

Any Reddit For Idiots type tips would be much appreciated.

If I was a tweeter I would tweet Crystal Gayle.
