Happy Birthday Mike Patton

“I’M NOT A POET. I’M NOT UP ONSTAGE TO GET SOMETHING OFF MY CHEST. I’M MAKING MUSICAL STATEMENTS, OR, MOST OF THE TIME, MUSICAL QUESTIONS FOR PEOPLE TO FIGURE OUT, AND I’M NOT GOING TO GET IN THE WAY OF THAT.”

Happy Birthday to musical monster and personal favorite Mike Patton - the man with the largest recorded vocal range in music and one of the most talented and diverse musicians I could ever imagine!

Todays listening: Sol invictus, Lovage, mondo caine, peeping tom and album of the year.

Happy Turkey Day From Lost In The Warp

Back to Work...

To all my teacher friends,

 here is a thought for the day 

on your return to class!

Happy Birthday to Tesla

Albert Einstein was once asked how it felt to be the smartest man alive.
His reply was: "I don't know, you'll have to ask Nikola Tesla."

Nikola Tesla was born this day in 1856. 

The internet will tell you that "Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system." but, truth be told, I think he is better known for being one of the greatest mad scientist archetypes in history!

 

 His work was often overshadowed, stolen, and repurposed by others, but his eccentricities live on as the stuff of legends. His patents made him enough money that he was able to experiment on making whatever strange devices suited his fancy including radio controlled vehicles, xrays, inventing the hydro electric dam, Lightning Generators, VTOL aircraft, machines to listen for signals that he believed originated from other planets(!), and a PARTICLE BEAM DEATH RAY!!!!!!!!

 

When I was in Highschool, I had to do a series of aptitude tests to help me decide what I might want to pursue in terms of education and work post secondary. My tests were wildly inconclusive and gave no clear direction for me, so I was called in to have a conference and see what they could help me figure out in terms of courses/pathways/goals. When asked what I wanted to be I answered without hesitation "My Dream is to be A Mad Scientist!" - I explained that I knew that this wasn't a real job title or anything, but that I just wanted to experiment, work in a lab of some sort, discover how things work and to invent...."

Instead of pointing me towards chemical engineering or some such, the guidance councilor looked at me incredulously and said that I couldn't do that. Seriously - she flat out told me it wasn't an option. So I said "Fine. Then I will be a comic book artist." and walked out. That's how I really ended up with Art as a central tenant of my life (I am a Highschool art teacher by profession). While I am thoroughly pleased with the direction of my life and the choices that brought me here, if I had known about Tesla back then, I think things may have gone very differently. 

 

 

Perhaps there is still time for inventing a death ray in my future, but for now I will be satisfied putting on my paint covered lab coat, gathering a bunch of devices, random parts, solvents, adhesives and epoxy compounds and cackling madly as I build a cool looking model of one....... You see dreams do come true - just not always in the expected way.

 

Until next time, Ill just be living the dream ;)

Happy FathersDay From LITW!

Stay Classy folks!

Mr. Bob Ross! Happy Birthday to our Dark Lord of Painting!

I actually own a 10 DVD boxed set of his painting tutorials...

I'm definitely gonna watch one of them today.

I largely learned to oil paint based on his methods.

This Gentle Giant of the art world would have been 72 today, may he RIP.

Mid week fun: A Gamers Prayer

Found posted on the Ghord Gazette - A GREAT resource for Rhulic Warmachine players!

The Convention Prayer

Our models, which art in carry bags, unpainted be thy name.

 Thy convention come. Thy will be painted, on bases as you are on pewter.

Give us this day a solid primer.

And forgive us our procrastination, as we forgive our paints for drying up.

And lead us not to embarrassment, but to a decent, table ready army.

Amen.

                                             

MY table ready Rhulics - The first PP models I painted - straight out of my game bag and into the cabinet where they won a
Bronze medal at the  Privateer Press P3 Grandmasters Painting competition 2014
