In the original Magritte painted a pipe, and then below the pipe, Magritte painted This is not a pipe (Ceci n'est pas une pipe), which seems a contradiction, but is actually true: the painting is not a pipe, it is an image of a pipe. In my painting I ve implemented the use of the code for blink tags in order to blink in and out of the idea of whether the pipe is a pipe, or a painting of a pipe. This is not a pipe.Oil on masonite. 125 dollars.
Konami Cheat Code 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A STARTThe Konami
Code (popularised by the nintendo game Contra) was a cheat code that could be used on many Konami games. The code was inputted during the title screen. This gave your player 30 extra lives. For me, this code has extra signifigance. I got my first real girlfriend when I was 13 years old. I rode my bike to her house which was in some rich subdivision. I cuddled with her while watching The Little Mermaid, and then her mother came home. We decided to go into her basement rec room to play some nintendo. Once there we turned off the lights (much to her mothers dismay) and began playing contra together. We tried pausing the game, but apparently just the music going on without any explosions or sounds tipped off her mom to come back and make sure we weren't making out. Then I brought the mighty Konami code from the depths of my brain. After a few botched attempts I finally got it. As our avatars were being slaughtered on the first Read more:Cheat
Life as an avatar 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Im back from Berlin, and am now finished with the first part of my tour. So the good news is that I m back in Prague, and painting again.heres a quick definition of a more ancient meaning for the word avatar based on the ancient vedas.The Avatara, or incarnation of Godhead, descends from the kingdom of God for [creating and maintaining the] material manifestation. And the particular form of the Personality of Godhead who so descends is called an incarnation, or Avatar. Such incarnations are situated in the spiritual world, the kingdom of God. When They descend to the material creation, They assume the name Avatara. ( Chaitanya-caritamrita 2.20.263 -264)Oil on masonite. 125 Dollars

If you recorded yourself beating mike tyson, and sent it to Nintendo headquarters you could receive a new NES system. Too bad it wasn't true.Oil on Masonite. 125 Dollars.
Wargames computer screen 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Oil on masonite. 125 DollarsWarGames was promoted as a cautionary tale about technology and the dangers of leaving machines in control of unleashing destruction, in an echo of the Doomsday Device of Dr. Strangelove. It also prominently featured the common idea of the Cold War period (particularly the 1970s and 1980s) that somewhere there was a "button" that, when pressed, would nuke the whole world away. This button, marked "LAUNCH" and installed after the WOPR was to simplify release of nuclear weapons, had several prominent close-ups in the film. Read more:screen
Total Recall 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Total Recall is an American Science Fiction film released on June 1st, 1990, starring Arnold Schwarsenegger, directed by Paul Verhoeven. It was based on the novelette We Can Remember it For You Wholesale. by Philip K Dick.

But something goes wrong during the procedure, and the doctors discover his mind has already been wiped. Returning home with no memories of ever going to Rekall, his wife tries to kill him. Later, she tells him that everything he remembers, including their marriage, is false— only implanted memories. Thanks to a case he left to himself before being wiped, Quaid starts piecing together the truth about himself. Pursued by Richter, who's wor Read more:Total

King Hippo 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I just started playing Mike Tyson's Punch Out again, and upon seeing the great contender King Hippo
I knew I had to make a painting of him. It was fun to figure out every contenders weaknesses again. If you don't remember in order to beat King Hippo you have to wait until he opens his mouth, then pop him in the jaw, and then go to town on his enormous stomach. Once he is knocked down, he is unable to get up again.
Darth Vader 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I had to show my girlfriend Star Wars last night. She hadn't seen it before so naturally I had to start with episode 4. Here's an image I repainted from Darth
's targeting computer during the final battle sequence of the film. Sorry, the original painting is already sold:( But if you really want it, send me a message to the address in the right column, and we can work something out.I had to make a gif from this image. It was way too conducive to leave alone. Read more:Vader

Q Bert 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A two-legged, big-nosed, orange creature jumps diagonally around on a pyramid, changing the color of the blocks he lands on. Avoid most moving objects and characters while luring Coily, the snake, to his demise by jumping off the edge of the pyramid onto one of the flying disks. The game has nine levels of four rounds each.
Qix 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I really liked the abstract nature of this game. Abstract as it concerns painting, not in gameplay. I won't make the easy correlation to Mondrian, but the elements are there in a funny sort of way. :)The objective of Qix is to fence off, or "claim", a supermajority of the playfield. At the start of each level, the playing field is a large, empty rectangle, containing the Qix—a sticklike entity that performs graceful, but unpredictable motions within the confines of the rectangle. The player controls a small diamond-shaped marker that can move around the edges of the rectangle. To claim an area of the screen, the player must detach from an edge and draw Stix within the rectangle. Stix are simply lines traced out by moving the marker. When the marker completes a closed shape, the captured area becomes solid and points are awarded.
