    These remind me of the site of the 1964 World's Fair (known to many of you as those spindly spaceship things from Men in Black). 50-year-old decaying World's Fair remnants have a definite post-apocalyptic Disney World vibe going on. #alexisrockman

    @Elizabeth Weinbloom: Even more so, the imagined remnants of the ones that once were, but are now 'never-was'.

    The magnificent Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939-1940 is perhaps the most poignant example [en.wikipedia.org] .

    A bucolic, lowrise, sun-dappled internationalist embassy, heralding a Gibsonian Gernsback Continuum utopia of streamamerica Art Deco (fascist-free) futurism, set on the shores of an endless Pacific Ocean.
    Where weightless Zeppelins moor to the masts of gleaming Nirosta-capped skyscrapers, noiseless helicopters flit the pellucid skies and cheery crimson biplanes commute the verdant suburbs and concrete canyons of the endless modernist megalopoli to come.

    PS I don't know if I subconciously recognised your name en passant [I tend not to notice monikers (just colours and shapes)], but for once I bothered to click an ID, saw the twitter link and realised that you're on my following list (since a witty #1stdraftmoveiline in July, I think).

    Big planet. Small world.

    PPS Any photos of that ethereal bubble-blowing flash mob? #alexisrockman

    They look like the artist started with depth-mattes generated from 3-D scenes.

    so while th final paintings are done in guache, and, yes, they are completely amazing, it's hardly fair to all them 'entirely hand-made.'

    (Unless, like me, you count 3-d modeling as 'hand-made,' 'cause that shit's hard to do)

    Nice to see Luke Chueh here, if not a little unexpected. His work is one example of being both rock-solid art, but earnestly salable (as opposed to a regular sellout fine art whooore).

    Awesome. Just awesome. Is the cat at the top of the mouse/cheese hill doing the rock out sign or the supposed Diablo sign. I always got told (being metal through and through), that this sign was never the sign for the devil, but infact spanish for Bull. I think Dio was the one who said it in an interview about how it caught on from one of his gigs. Im not saying its true or right. But has anyone else ever heard of this story???

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): There is a small separatist nation inside of the United States; it is called Texas. They would claim they coined the gesture, and in between barbecue pork belches, they say WHOO HOO HOOK 'EM HORNS while doing that horn-thing. Yep.

    @AmishJohn: Trues, beef for certain. My tasty-barnyard-good-eats geography was off. I think it was my inner neanderthal expressing his repressed bbq bloodlust, because he is not allowed to eat greazy terrestrial creatures anymore.
