00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:14,780 chant that kind of turned me on to you 30 00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:17,090 and your work and I have to admit it's 31 00:02:23,530 --> 00:02:20,480 fabulous you've taken the the 3d stuff a 32 00:02:24,730 --> 00:02:23,540 lot further than I was ever able to do 33 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:24,740 but at least that we could have an 34 00:02:29,170 --> 00:02:26,330 intelligent conversation about the 35 00:02:31,390 --> 00:02:29,180 software and a little bit about the art 36 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:31,400 so basically tell us a little bit about 37 00:02:37,330 --> 00:02:33,290 yourself how you got involved in the art 38 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:37,340 and how you got over into the 3d well 39 00:02:44,740 --> 00:02:41,890 okay I was born a military brat my dad 40 00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:44,750 was in the Navy at the time when I was 41 00:02:49,930 --> 00:02:47,510 born in staging in Long Beach so 42 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:49,940 California and so that's where I was 43 00:02:57,790 --> 00:02:52,730 born in 1966 in Long Beach California 44 00:03:00,400 --> 00:02:57,800 and he did a few years in that and then 45 00:03:04,979 --> 00:03:00,410 I got out and transferred over into the 46 00:03:11,380 --> 00:03:04,989 Air Force and and an Air Force Reserve 47 00:03:13,540 --> 00:03:11,390 and coupled with a career in the Caliph 48 00:03:17,470 --> 00:03:13,550 Department of Parks and Recreation and 49 00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:17,480 so with those two jobs he had you can 50 00:03:23,610 --> 00:03:20,930 imagine we moved around a lot and so I 51 00:03:26,860 --> 00:03:23,620 was always the new kid in school and 52 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:26,870 bounced around all over but I'd say my 53 00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:31,010 formula ears and my most impressionable 54 00:03:39,010 --> 00:03:34,190 years were in the Mojave Desert my dad 55 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:39,020 was a station outside of Victorville 56 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:43,490 Edwards Air Force Base and I finished up 57 00:03:50,020 --> 00:03:45,770 my growing up and did it stint in the 58 00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:50,030 military myself and for all that I was 59 00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:53,660 doodling and drawing sometimes on my 60 00:03:59,890 --> 00:03:56,000 school desk sometimes in the textbooks 61 00:04:02,949 --> 00:03:59,900 and you know the the iconic peachy 62 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:02,959 folder doodles all through high school 63 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:07,370 and art classes in high school and so 64 00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:09,850 I've known that I've been a very 65 00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:13,310 creative person from a paired very young 66 00:04:19,750 --> 00:04:15,769 age and knew exactly who and what I was 67 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:19,760 and been pretty much relentless with it 68 00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:26,500 oh yeah a lot of people are creative but 69 00:04:31,690 --> 00:04:29,360 not it not everybody who's creative that 70 00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:31,700 has some actual talent and we're getting 71 00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:36,800 into the examples of your work and did 72 00:04:40,719 --> 00:04:38,510 you have any training I mean you just 73 00:04:43,570 --> 00:04:40,729 kind of self-taught how did all this 74 00:04:47,170 --> 00:04:43,580 come about it's kind of a mishmash of 75 00:04:49,870 --> 00:04:47,180 things my mom was a fine artist she 76 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:49,880 passed away back in oh three at age 56 77 00:04:58,030 --> 00:04:53,570 from lupus but she was a renowned 78 00:05:00,820 --> 00:04:58,040 Southwest artist and appeared in many 79 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:00,830 magazines covers of magazines and was 80 00:05:05,260 --> 00:05:02,330 the president of the San Bernardino 81 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:05,270 County Fine Arts Association for several 82 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:11,690 years and she kind of took my younger 83 00:05:17,590 --> 00:05:15,890 brother and I and and really didn't give 84 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:17,600 us a lot of choice as to whether or not 85 00:05:21,010 --> 00:05:19,250 we were going to become art she would 86 00:05:25,420 --> 00:05:21,020 throw pencils and paints on the table 87 00:05:28,180 --> 00:05:25,430 and and set up still lifes and say throw 88 00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:28,190 we see and then critique it and give us 89 00:05:34,810 --> 00:05:31,550 pointers and this and that and it just 90 00:05:37,779 --> 00:05:34,820 really stuck with me I liked it I've 91 00:05:41,140 --> 00:05:37,789 never been very good at articulating my 92 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:41,150 words with others because of some kind 93 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:44,090 of birth issues I've had with my mental 94 00:05:50,890 --> 00:05:48,410 abilities but my my purest voice my most 95 00:05:53,499 --> 00:05:50,900 true voice has always been my art I 96 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:53,509 could I could speak perfectly and 97 00:06:00,909 --> 00:05:56,090 clearly with pictures exactly what I 98 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:00,919 want to say what I feel and I just kind 99 00:06:06,310 --> 00:06:04,010 of has always been the foundation for 100 00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:06,320 everything that I do and the gay medias 101 00:06:12,670 --> 00:06:08,240 never run out they're always there I 102 00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:12,680 never not have something to create and 103 00:06:17,020 --> 00:06:16,160 what led to the transition that from the 104 00:06:20,740 --> 00:06:17,030 old school 105 00:06:22,570 --> 00:06:20,750 you know pen or paints and the ink or 106 00:06:28,330 --> 00:06:22,580 canvas or whatever the case may be and 107 00:06:34,330 --> 00:06:28,340 over into the digital realm well that 108 00:06:36,850 --> 00:06:34,340 was a fight I didn't want to make that 109 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:36,860 transition when I when I was growing up 110 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:40,970 I loved illustration art and to this day 111 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:43,610 you know my great hero is an 112 00:06:48,310 --> 00:06:45,530 illustration or a traditional artist 113 00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:48,320 like Drew Struzan I mean everybody knows 114 00:06:53,529 --> 00:06:51,409 who Drew Struzan as work is what is 115 00:06:57,339 --> 00:06:53,539 working they may not know the man but if 116 00:06:59,740 --> 00:06:57,349 you were in 70s 80s 90s movies fan he 117 00:07:02,830 --> 00:06:59,750 did the poster art for that and I 118 00:07:04,779 --> 00:07:02,840 actually grew up only about 10 miles 119 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:04,789 down the road from where all of the 120 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:08,090 magic he was creating the in Arrowhead 121 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:12,530 California was happening and I also 122 00:07:20,830 --> 00:07:17,090 admired the concept work of ralph 123 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:20,840 mcquarrie and also the illustrative work 124 00:07:27,339 --> 00:07:24,770 of Hildebrandt Brothers and well 125 00:07:29,430 --> 00:07:27,349 McQuarrie I know who he is he's the guy 126 00:07:32,290 --> 00:07:29,440 who did sort of the the pre-production 127 00:07:34,659 --> 00:07:32,300 visualizations for Star Wars he had the 128 00:07:36,940 --> 00:07:34,669 original Star Wars trilogy he did all 129 00:07:43,950 --> 00:07:36,950 that as his work is amazing 130 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:43,960 and and so I was in my early teens and 131 00:07:51,850 --> 00:07:46,970 preteens when all of that was coming out 132 00:07:54,490 --> 00:07:51,860 and I I wanted involved to be involved 133 00:07:59,220 --> 00:07:54,500 in that in every way that I could think 134 00:08:02,140 --> 00:07:59,230 of and I was really pushing for that and 135 00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:02,150 life got in the way and it never 136 00:08:09,970 --> 00:08:08,000 happened that so from the time line left 137 00:08:11,710 --> 00:08:09,980 high school and after I got done with my 138 00:08:14,890 --> 00:08:11,720 own military everything that you're 139 00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:14,900 seeing now is me having taught myself I 140 00:08:21,340 --> 00:08:19,120 I taught myself how to do illustration 141 00:08:25,660 --> 00:08:21,350 with the techniques that Drew Struzan 142 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:25,670 does with using gesso illustration board 143 00:08:33,610 --> 00:08:29,690 and roughing out you know a good clean 144 00:08:36,790 --> 00:08:33,620 sketch on on the board and then using 145 00:08:40,270 --> 00:08:36,800 acrylic washes both hand painted and 146 00:08:43,810 --> 00:08:40,280 airbrushed and then finishing up with 147 00:08:45,550 --> 00:08:43,820 color pencils and inks over the top of 148 00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:45,560 that and maybe just a little bit more 149 00:08:55,870 --> 00:08:50,510 brushed acrylics and I was doing that in 150 00:08:59,190 --> 00:08:55,880 that technique up until probably about 151 00:09:01,600 --> 00:08:59,200 three four years ago actually and I I 152 00:09:04,060 --> 00:09:01,610 transitioned into digital I started 153 00:09:09,730 --> 00:09:04,070 taught myself how to paint into the lead 154 00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:09,740 in Photoshop and then started picking up 155 00:09:17,470 --> 00:09:14,570 blender 3d kind of modeling and 156 00:09:20,950 --> 00:09:17,480 sculpting in this last year and the 157 00:09:23,140 --> 00:09:20,960 reason I got into it was well that 158 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:23,150 that's the way things are now No very 159 00:09:29,050 --> 00:09:26,050 rarely is anybody accepting any 160 00:09:31,390 --> 00:09:29,060 traditional illustration work anymore 161 00:09:33,490 --> 00:09:31,400 they want it they want it digitally 162 00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:33,500 because you can go back in and rework it 163 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:35,600 very fast you don't have to start from 164 00:09:42,610 --> 00:09:40,130 scratch and make it an original plus you 165 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:42,620 know you don't have to go through the 166 00:09:47,170 --> 00:09:44,810 whole process of having a photograph and 167 00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:47,180 then facing it in Photoshop if 168 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:50,570 anything's fixing and this 169 00:09:56,500 --> 00:09:52,850 and hand-drawn hand-painted thumbnails 170 00:10:00,760 --> 00:09:56,510 all of that it's just the digital is so 171 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:00,770 much more efficient and quicker and and 172 00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:06,290 now it just is going so fast the tech is 173 00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:10,640 growing so fast now it just really helps 174 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:13,600 you as a concept artist and illustrator 175 00:10:22,270 --> 00:10:18,170 to have not only are you able to 3d 176 00:10:26,620 --> 00:10:22,280 model and sculpt but you if you can rig 177 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:26,630 and animate your work it's also a huge 178 00:10:32,770 --> 00:10:29,170 benefit to your portfolio as well 179 00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:32,780 otherwise it's just like if you don't 180 00:10:38,470 --> 00:10:35,600 stay on top of it man you get passed up 181 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:38,480 so fast and all of these young kids 182 00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:42,050 that's what they're doing and they're 183 00:10:50,890 --> 00:10:47,570 they're making these paintings and 184 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:50,900 concept art works they're incorporating 185 00:10:56,620 --> 00:10:54,170 the 3d they're throwing in photo bashing 186 00:10:58,770 --> 00:10:56,630 they're they're doing everything and in 187 00:11:03,970 --> 00:10:58,780 putting it in and a very slick and 188 00:11:07,810 --> 00:11:03,980 polished and completed piece that it's 189 00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:07,820 not only so well done that you're 190 00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:10,160 immersed in it it's very immersive art 191 00:11:16,330 --> 00:11:14,150 but most cases you can't tell the 192 00:11:18,850 --> 00:11:16,340 difference between it and an actual 193 00:11:21,130 --> 00:11:18,860 photograph you believe the environment 194 00:11:23,950 --> 00:11:21,140 or the subject matter that they created 195 00:11:25,740 --> 00:11:23,960 is real and that's what the industry is 196 00:11:29,710 --> 00:11:25,750 looking for in the industry 197 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:29,720 predominantly being now gaming gaming 198 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:33,170 industry is really wanting that now 199 00:11:36,130 --> 00:11:34,370 while you mentioned something you've 200 00:11:39,490 --> 00:11:36,140 just been doing blender for the last 201 00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:39,500 year that's that that might frustrate as 202 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:41,900 some people because yeah quite frankly 203 00:11:45,220 --> 00:11:43,130 it looks like you've been doing it a lot 204 00:11:54,370 --> 00:11:45,230 longer than that looking at your work oh 205 00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:54,380 well thank you I'll just be I am on the 206 00:12:02,320 --> 00:11:58,610 spectrum I have Asperger's and so with 207 00:12:04,210 --> 00:12:02,330 with what that means is when I have a 208 00:12:09,190 --> 00:12:04,220 subject of interest 209 00:12:15,270 --> 00:12:09,200 uh from my own personal view I will 210 00:12:17,740 --> 00:12:15,280 fixate on it and I will absolutely just 211 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:17,750 get on it over and over and over and 212 00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:20,930 over and over again especially if I've 213 00:12:28,180 --> 00:12:23,510 got like an end goal where I want to be 214 00:12:32,140 --> 00:12:28,190 what they say I don't stop the the 215 00:12:35,050 --> 00:12:32,150 whatever mediate is amusing me and then 216 00:12:39,130 --> 00:12:35,060 amusing until I make it look at the 217 00:12:42,130 --> 00:12:39,140 level of my end goal and then from there 218 00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:42,140 I start pushing it to go past that and 219 00:12:51,250 --> 00:12:48,110 make it my own so yeah I officially 220 00:12:56,590 --> 00:12:51,260 started blender using blender and then 221 00:12:58,660 --> 00:12:56,600 polishing it up and Photoshop right 222 00:13:03,730 --> 00:12:58,670 around in the March beginning of April 223 00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:03,740 so not quite here oh man oh yeah you 224 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:05,570 were you're something of a savant with 225 00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:09,650 that software it is pretty daunting it's 226 00:13:13,870 --> 00:13:12,110 a it's a complicated program I I do know 227 00:13:16,090 --> 00:13:13,880 a little bit that the versions I've got 228 00:13:18,370 --> 00:13:16,100 to think are a little bit older than the 229 00:13:21,370 --> 00:13:18,380 current versions it's really been a few 230 00:13:25,690 --> 00:13:21,380 years since I spent a lot of time with 231 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:25,700 it but it is it it's still useful you'll 232 00:13:29,890 --> 00:13:27,890 see actually yes some of the some of the 233 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:29,900 graphics for this show I've done some of 234 00:13:33,730 --> 00:13:31,610 those I've done in blender some over at 235 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:33,740 my website I've done in blender much 236 00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:35,450 simpler and less complicated than your 237 00:13:41,170 --> 00:13:38,720 stuff but it's a very useful program and 238 00:13:43,180 --> 00:13:41,180 how did you say there are a lot of 3d 239 00:13:44,950 --> 00:13:43,190 apps out there III think I should 240 00:13:46,540 --> 00:13:44,960 mention that blender is a freeware 241 00:13:48,940 --> 00:13:46,550 program so it doesn't cost anything 242 00:13:51,490 --> 00:13:48,950 there are quite a few programs out there 243 00:13:54,340 --> 00:13:51,500 that are pretty costly but that blender 244 00:13:56,770 --> 00:13:54,350 is freeware so it was at that part of 245 00:13:59,050 --> 00:13:56,780 the reasoning you decided to go with it 246 00:14:01,180 --> 00:13:59,060 or I mean it also does a lot too so 247 00:14:02,770 --> 00:14:01,190 let's talk about the decision to go with 248 00:14:06,850 --> 00:14:02,780 blender and how you came across it in 249 00:14:18,210 --> 00:14:06,860 the first place well first off I'm broke 250 00:14:28,810 --> 00:14:27,190 I'm sorry about that that's okay so the 251 00:14:32,350 --> 00:14:28,820 reason why I went with blender it would 252 00:14:35,319 --> 00:14:32,360 first yes affordability it's free and I 253 00:14:38,460 --> 00:14:35,329 I did my due diligence with it I did a 254 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:38,470 lot of research I was comparing it with 255 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:47,110 cinema4d 256 00:14:56,290 --> 00:14:52,250 right right yes max and a lot of those 257 00:14:58,060 --> 00:14:56,300 other programs they they each one have a 258 00:15:00,370 --> 00:14:58,070 particular strengths but it's not a 259 00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:00,380 strength that's so big that it like 260 00:15:05,170 --> 00:15:03,110 grossly outweighs the other programs so 261 00:15:11,230 --> 00:15:05,180 in them for the most part they have a 262 00:15:13,870 --> 00:15:11,240 pretty even playing field but programs 263 00:15:21,940 --> 00:15:13,880 like Autodesk Maya they require a very 264 00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:21,950 steep kind of a annual renewal like a 265 00:15:28,750 --> 00:15:26,000 membership fee and it's very ok if the 266 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:28,760 same with Photoshop now you you can't 267 00:15:34,269 --> 00:15:32,690 get a just a flat Photoshop downloaded 268 00:15:36,009 --> 00:15:34,279 and there you go you have the program 269 00:15:37,689 --> 00:15:36,019 FLE free clear you have to have a 270 00:15:39,670 --> 00:15:37,699 membership with it that you pay monthly 271 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:39,680 yeah because they're constantly 272 00:15:44,410 --> 00:15:41,690 upgrading it and doing this and that and 273 00:15:47,980 --> 00:15:44,420 I did I just don't do that I use an old 274 00:15:50,110 --> 00:15:47,990 hacked version of cs6 and I'm not 275 00:15:52,180 --> 00:15:50,120 limited by it because I'm not doing or 276 00:15:57,310 --> 00:15:52,190 wanting to do anything more than what 277 00:15:58,990 --> 00:15:57,320 the cs6 is providing right now you 278 00:16:02,380 --> 00:15:59,000 basically use it for drawing a painting 279 00:16:04,300 --> 00:16:02,390 or or finishing up or touching up a 280 00:16:06,370 --> 00:16:04,310 render that I've done on blender and 281 00:16:08,139 --> 00:16:06,380 that's about it and I'm able to do just 282 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:08,149 fine with it I don't need any of the 283 00:16:14,530 --> 00:16:10,850 other stuff that's in Photoshop cc or 284 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:14,540 anything like that and also no blender 285 00:16:22,030 --> 00:16:19,010 is very compatible now more than ever 286 00:16:24,610 --> 00:16:22,040 with maya which is basically the 287 00:16:25,860 --> 00:16:24,620 industry standard all the effects houses 288 00:16:30,819 --> 00:16:25,870 like Wetty 289 00:16:31,970 --> 00:16:30,829 iom and a couple others that i can 290 00:16:34,370 --> 00:16:31,980 rattle off are 291 00:16:36,890 --> 00:16:34,380 using those and you're seeing you're 292 00:16:40,460 --> 00:16:36,900 seeing Maya used and young the major 293 00:16:42,770 --> 00:16:40,470 modes of motion pictures however your 294 00:16:46,220 --> 00:16:42,780 start to see elements of blunder creep 295 00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:46,230 in there now because in you can do some 296 00:16:53,750 --> 00:16:50,880 very very cool things that are just is 297 00:16:57,050 --> 00:16:53,760 compatible with Maya basically with 298 00:17:00,980 --> 00:16:57,060 blender you can start and finish an 299 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:00,990 entire project you do your concept art 300 00:17:07,310 --> 00:17:03,930 the storyboarding your animation your 3d 301 00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:07,320 model and get sculpting and then your 302 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:10,110 animation and then you could take it and 303 00:17:16,430 --> 00:17:12,690 do sound design and embed it in your 304 00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:16,440 sound and basically edit together splice 305 00:17:22,790 --> 00:17:20,880 together an entire film in blender it'll 306 00:17:26,270 --> 00:17:22,800 do all of its got a video editor in it 307 00:17:29,390 --> 00:17:26,280 too it's extremely powerful are you 308 00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:29,400 doing any animations I was for a while 309 00:17:36,230 --> 00:17:34,710 and then the business with YouTube kind 310 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:36,240 of put a scare at me because I was a 311 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:38,970 smaller Channel and with all this copper 312 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:42,330 stuff that's come out I didn't want to 313 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:48,810 risk getting fined by the I guess it see 314 00:17:55,330 --> 00:17:51,530 if I think yeah something like that 315 00:17:59,030 --> 00:17:55,340 anyways I think there was language noise 316 00:18:00,740 --> 00:17:59,040 to the effect of that if you didn't mark 317 00:18:02,540 --> 00:18:00,750 your channel a certain way you know 318 00:18:06,140 --> 00:18:02,550 child friendly family friendly or 319 00:18:09,350 --> 00:18:06,150 whatever right right yeah and also if 320 00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:09,360 you marked it incorrectly or you know if 321 00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:12,510 you even if you marked your stuff as an 322 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:16,110 adult station or an adult channel and 323 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:17,970 they found it to be family-friendly they 324 00:18:24,620 --> 00:18:20,490 can still find you I was just like it 325 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:24,630 was so sketchy so weird I shut down my 326 00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:27,930 channel so okay yeah I have to deal with 327 00:18:32,450 --> 00:18:29,370 the same thing - of course I haven't 328 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:32,460 found it to be that difficult really as 329 00:18:39,980 --> 00:18:36,210 far as I as far as I know as far as I'm 330 00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:39,990 concerned what we do here is not for 331 00:18:44,390 --> 00:18:42,510 kids you know I mean we get into some 332 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:44,400 fairly dense things we have scientists 333 00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:45,570 on it 334 00:18:51,289 --> 00:18:49,200 witnesses and so on so if it's not 335 00:18:54,860 --> 00:18:51,299 directly for kids but by the same token 336 00:18:56,299 --> 00:18:54,870 it's not something of let's say an adult 337 00:18:57,830 --> 00:18:56,309 we're sitting down and watching with a 338 00:18:59,360 --> 00:18:57,840 kid in the room they would have to be 339 00:19:01,870 --> 00:18:59,370 concerned about it you know it's just 340 00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:01,880 not designed for kids I think that's 341 00:19:07,490 --> 00:19:04,320 what they're talking about they're you 342 00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:07,500 know not one you know you've got adult 343 00:19:11,900 --> 00:19:09,510 material that might be sensitive and 344 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:11,910 then you've got the the stuff that is 345 00:19:15,820 --> 00:19:14,490 designed for children and I think what 346 00:19:19,159 --> 00:19:15,830 they mean children they're talking 347 00:19:21,650 --> 00:19:19,169 generally preteens you know is this is 348 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:21,660 it like Teletubby your Sesame Street 349 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:24,570 type material as compared with is it 350 00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:26,730 going to be something that is going to 351 00:19:31,820 --> 00:19:30,179 raise an alarm if a kid is exposed to it 352 00:19:33,620 --> 00:19:31,830 yeah I don't think that I can't imagine 353 00:19:35,330 --> 00:19:33,630 anything you're doing unless you've got 354 00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:35,340 some art that I don't know about or 355 00:19:39,260 --> 00:19:37,110 anything that we're doing here is going 356 00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:39,270 to raise an alarm if a small kid is in 357 00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:41,190 the room but by the same token it's not 358 00:19:47,140 --> 00:19:42,510 designed for kids that's my 359 00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:47,150 understanding of it anyway well you know 360 00:19:54,590 --> 00:19:51,510 some of my artwork by some people's 361 00:19:57,159 --> 00:19:54,600 perception is very controversial okay I 362 00:20:00,320 --> 00:19:57,169 I guess I didn't find any of that so I 363 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:00,330 wasn't aware that believe it or not the 364 00:20:05,870 --> 00:20:04,290 the alien ufology artwork is extremely 365 00:20:10,150 --> 00:20:05,880 controversial okay 366 00:20:13,669 --> 00:20:10,160 received a lot of hate email and 367 00:20:17,180 --> 00:20:13,679 personal messages across all social 368 00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:17,190 media now claiming my stuff to be evil 369 00:20:26,570 --> 00:20:23,130 or satanic er and just just ridiculously 370 00:20:28,730 --> 00:20:26,580 attacked when I post it that's why 371 00:20:31,909 --> 00:20:28,740 you'll see me cool off from it 372 00:20:34,370 --> 00:20:31,919 periodically I don't know yeah and then 373 00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:34,380 I come back at it and then sure as i do 374 00:20:42,169 --> 00:20:38,370 you know i get banned

send me those pics because i 378 00:20:50,270 --> 00:20:48,690 guess I didn't see them like I said I 379 00:20:52,130 --> 00:20:50,280 don't see anything objectionable in 380 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:52,140 anything I've seen of you or see in it 381 00:20:56,620 --> 00:20:54,690 that's the funny thing you're seeing it 382 00:20:59,090 --> 00:20:56,630 Frank you're already seeing it okay 383

386 00:21:11,919 --> 00:21:09,390 fundamental religious views it 387 00:21:15,940 --> 00:21:11,929 predominantly that I'm not going to 388 00:21:18,620 --> 00:21:15,950 specifically outline that religion but 389 00:21:21,650 --> 00:21:18,630 they're very clear about what religion 390 00:21:24,830 --> 00:21:21,660 they represent or what they what path 391 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:24,840 are on and and how their perception from 392 00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:28,770 that path is looking at my my artwork my 393 00:21:36,830 --> 00:21:33,200 creativity and then some of it has been 394 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:36,840 threatening Wow I was surprised to hear 395 00:21:41,090 --> 00:21:38,610 that but that you'd mentioned we talked 396 00:21:44,210 --> 00:21:41,100 a little bit before the show excuse me 397 00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:44,220 about what the initially led you to 398 00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:47,039 pursue this particular genre of art the 399 00:21:52,190 --> 00:21:49,110 space art and you had mentioned that 400 00:21:53,860 --> 00:21:52,200 that you did have some experiences and 401 00:21:56,570 --> 00:21:53,870 can you tell us a little bit about that 402 00:22:00,409 --> 00:21:56,580 sure well I'll address the space art 403 00:22:04,750 --> 00:22:00,419 first I have been lifelong astronomy 404 00:22:10,130 --> 00:22:04,760 buff I I started my Carl Sagan 405 00:22:12,289 --> 00:22:10,140 collection books back in the late 70s I 406 00:22:16,010 --> 00:22:12,299 think the first Carl Sagan book I got 407 00:22:23,210 --> 00:22:16,020 was broke his brain and I had murmurs of 408 00:22:25,820 --> 00:22:23,220 the earth and contact course cosmos my 409 00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:25,830 parents actually let me skip school on 410 00:22:30,919 --> 00:22:28,110 the days that cosmos Erik is so I 411 00:22:34,070 --> 00:22:30,929 wouldn't miss a single episode I was a 412 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:34,080 huge Carl Sagan fan and I loved that he 413 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:36,570 was able to take very complex at the 414 00:22:44,810 --> 00:22:42,210 time planetary physics concepts and put 415 00:22:48,649 --> 00:22:44,820 them into layman's terms you know very 416 00:22:50,299 --> 00:22:48,659 understandable language and for an 11 417 00:22:51,980 --> 00:22:50,309 through 13 year old boy at the time 418 00:22:56,120 --> 00:22:51,990 that's exactly what I needed and it 419 00:23:00,350 --> 00:22:56,130 fueled my imagination but cosmos did 420 00:23:02,899 --> 00:23:00,360 come out there was another concept 421 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:02,909 artist and illustrator that he used 422 00:23:07,940 --> 00:23:05,490 politically and I loved his art member 423 00:23:09,919 --> 00:23:07,950 John Lambert and that begins to 424 00:23:12,030 --> 00:23:09,929 influence some of my own interest in 425 00:23:16,110 --> 00:23:12,040 space art at the time 426 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:16,120 and and as far as the you followed the 427 00:23:22,140 --> 00:23:19,090 arc well there's another like lot I am a 428 00:23:25,710 --> 00:23:22,150 lifelong experience er I haven't had any 429 00:23:32,150 --> 00:23:25,720 recent experiences but there was a 430 00:23:37,669 --> 00:23:32,160 series of them that definitely had me 431 00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:37,679 obsessed with trying to get stolen 432 00:23:43,770 --> 00:23:41,110 memories or stuff I I was not allowed to 433 00:23:46,110 --> 00:23:43,780 I don't know it's like a gate in my 434 00:23:49,530 --> 00:23:46,120 inside my head that won't let me go any 435 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:49,540 further and so I I go through these fits 436 00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:51,970 where it feels like something more 437 00:23:59,039 --> 00:23:54,370 coming on as far as the memories of the 438 00:24:01,409 --> 00:23:59,049 experiences are concerned and I feel 439 00:24:04,860 --> 00:24:01,419 like if I just you know repaint the 440 00:24:07,919 --> 00:24:04,870 redraw from the angles as I possibly can 441 00:24:12,659 --> 00:24:07,929 those events more will come and I will 442 00:24:15,810 --> 00:24:12,669 unlock that that that block that's in my 443 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:15,820 head and before anybody asks no I won't 444 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:19,410 do regressive hypnosis I don't trust it 445 00:24:30,450 --> 00:24:25,650 it just I've got a couple of associates 446 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:30,460 in the field that I have warned me 447 00:24:40,140 --> 00:24:35,770 against it and so I stay away from the 448 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:40,150 and I just you know if I am meant to 449 00:24:46,650 --> 00:24:43,330 have the rest of those memories then 450 00:24:47,580 --> 00:24:46,660 it's meant to be I don't like to go with 451 00:24:49,770 --> 00:24:47,590 it 452 00:24:53,010 --> 00:24:49,780 understood yeah yeah actually yeah I 453 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:53,020 would tend to agree with that I've had 454 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:54,730 some discussions from different 455 00:24:58,740 --> 00:24:57,010 witnesses who've been on this show or 456 00:25:00,900 --> 00:24:58,750 privately and they've gone through that 457 00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:00,910 process and I mean at best they were 458 00:25:06,659 --> 00:25:03,809 ambivalent they didn't express any 459 00:25:07,980 --> 00:25:06,669 regret as far as doing it but they 460 00:25:11,669 --> 00:25:07,990 didn't necessarily think it was all that 461 00:25:13,890 --> 00:25:11,679 beneficial either so I'm not a big fan 462 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:13,900 of the process knowing a little bit 463 00:25:18,330 --> 00:25:15,730 about hypnosis of course it's all about 464 00:25:20,220 --> 00:25:18,340 the power of suggestion and if you've 465 00:25:22,289 --> 00:25:20,230 got somebody who's saying especially if 466 00:25:24,570 --> 00:25:22,299 they're saying yes I'm an expert in 467 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:24,580 these kind of alien encounter 468 00:25:29,970 --> 00:25:28,450 regressions than what you're opening 469 00:25:32,330 --> 00:25:29,980 yourself up to his being let a little 470 00:25:36,620 --> 00:25:32,340 bit I think maybe a little bit too much 471 00:25:40,649 --> 00:25:36,630 I have yet to and I've watched a lot of 472 00:25:44,190 --> 00:25:40,659 gnosis you know just to explore just 473 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:44,200 exactly that potential Avenue unlocking 474 00:25:54,509 --> 00:25:46,450 something and I have yet to see one just 475 00:25:57,690 --> 00:25:54,519 one where the hypnotist is 100% 476 00:26:00,330 --> 00:25:57,700 objective and non leaning in their lines 477 00:26:03,899 --> 00:26:00,340 of inquiry while the patient is under 478 00:26:09,019 --> 00:26:03,909 you have you have to be so exceedingly 479 00:26:12,899 --> 00:26:09,029 careful and so to be in your 480 00:26:17,899 --> 00:26:12,909 presentation of the questions that you 481 00:26:20,940 --> 00:26:17,909 can't possibly even begin to paint a 482 00:26:23,789 --> 00:26:20,950 presumption with picture inside the 483 00:26:25,769 --> 00:26:23,799 person who is on this head to feed off 484 00:26:28,110 --> 00:26:25,779 of to begin building a story of their 485 00:26:30,570 --> 00:26:28,120 own based on that question and it's just 486 00:26:34,049 --> 00:26:30,580 like it's almost impossible to be 487 00:26:36,570 --> 00:26:34,059 objective would you suggest art as a 488 00:26:38,940 --> 00:26:36,580 better way of exploring these type of 489 00:26:42,450 --> 00:26:38,950 experiences because I'm not sure in your 490 00:26:44,129 --> 00:26:42,460 timeline if which came first sort of a 491 00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:44,139 the chicken or the yang did the 492 00:26:48,210 --> 00:26:46,240 experiences come first or you had 493 00:26:50,279 --> 00:26:48,220 mentioned your mama being an inspiration 494 00:26:52,169 --> 00:26:50,289 for you regarding the art did that come 495 00:26:56,909 --> 00:26:52,179 first or was it the other way around or 496 00:27:01,649 --> 00:26:56,919 the experiences first I okay yeah my 497 00:27:05,970 --> 00:27:01,659 first memory is an experience okay I was 498 00:27:08,610 --> 00:27:05,980 still on a bassinet and I'll give you 499 00:27:12,029 --> 00:27:08,620 kind of a rough rundown of what an 500 00:27:15,029 --> 00:27:12,039 experience of mine was like and my 501 00:27:19,860 --> 00:27:15,039 brother also experienced a lot of them 502 00:27:21,899 --> 00:27:19,870 with me as well as yeah in short I would 503 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:21,909 have thought I was entirely crazy had I 504 00:27:28,250 --> 00:27:25,570 not had witnesses on several occasions 505 00:27:31,049 --> 00:27:28,260 to experience he sings with me so I 506 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:31,059 haven't written myself off his entirely 507 00:27:38,490 --> 00:27:36,690 crazy so I think a typical experience 508 00:27:41,879 --> 00:27:38,500 would be 509 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:41,889 it starts off very paranormal and it's 510 00:27:45,210 --> 00:27:43,570 always in the middle of the night you 511 00:27:50,460 --> 00:27:45,220 know somewhere between 1:30 in the 512 00:27:53,730 --> 00:27:50,470 morning 3 o'clock in the morning and it 513 00:27:56,190 --> 00:27:53,740 starts off with like but I can feel the 514 00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:56,200 bed shaking you know and we always slept 515 00:28:00,690 --> 00:27:58,210 in bunk beds and a little tiny bedroom 516 00:28:02,669 --> 00:28:00,700 my brother and I and I could start off 517 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:02,679 always thinking that's my brother just 518 00:28:10,110 --> 00:28:06,690 adjusting in his sleep and and then 519 00:28:12,930 --> 00:28:10,120 there would be inanimate objects around 520 00:28:16,980 --> 00:28:12,940 the room suddenly moving by themselves a 521 00:28:19,409 --> 00:28:16,990 book would fly off the shelf or the 522 00:28:21,629 --> 00:28:19,419 chair would fall over backwards there's 523 00:28:24,029 --> 00:28:21,639 nobody else in the room it's a tiny robe 524 00:28:25,860 --> 00:28:24,039 it's like a little 8 by 12 lived in a 525 00:28:30,690 --> 00:28:25,870 trailer and the trailer park inside a 526 00:28:33,180 --> 00:28:30,700 park residence and then and then what I 527 00:28:35,759 --> 00:28:33,190 would call the the chatter is the 528 00:28:40,019 --> 00:28:35,769 whispers they would start up these this 529 00:28:42,779 --> 00:28:40,029 kind of like almost guttural sounds or 530 00:28:45,180 --> 00:28:42,789 languages of like two or three entities 531 00:28:48,090 --> 00:28:45,190 having a discussion and I'm not included 532 00:28:53,220 --> 00:28:48,100 within earshot you know it kind of 533 00:28:55,259 --> 00:28:53,230 sounded like it'd be like two or three 534 00:28:56,549 --> 00:28:55,269 of them like that and you can stand 535 00:28:59,610 --> 00:28:56,559 right in the middle of it that you can't 536 00:29:01,649 --> 00:28:59,620 quite pick out what is being said and 537 00:29:05,190 --> 00:29:01,659 then so now you're interested in this 538 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:05,200 you get the weird objects moving around 539 00:29:12,269 --> 00:29:09,250 and then then the the disembodied voices 540 00:29:15,749 --> 00:29:12,279 and things like that and then before you 541 00:29:17,519 --> 00:29:15,759 know you're terrified but your attention 542 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:17,529 is right there it's almost like it was a 543 00:29:26,369 --> 00:29:22,330 a calculated distraction to get you to 544 00:29:29,999 --> 00:29:26,379 pay attention to this while they arrived 545 00:29:32,279 --> 00:29:30,009 because all of a sudden when it's all 546 00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:32,289 too late and you're fully engulfed in 547 00:29:37,710 --> 00:29:34,809 this and you can't wake up anybody else 548 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:37,720 in the house they're they're dead asleep 549 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:39,970 you could shake them mom and dad won't 550 00:29:44,970 --> 00:29:42,490 wake up my brother won't wake up I'm 551 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:44,980 nudging their shoulder I'm moving their 552 00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:48,250 head and yelling they won't wake up it's 553 00:29:55,740 --> 00:29:52,000 just me and then while 554 00:29:57,750 --> 00:29:55,750 all that's going on in an instant every 555 00:30:03,210 --> 00:29:57,760 way no in the house is flooded with this 556 00:30:07,020 --> 00:30:03,220 electric searing blue light and I'm out 557 00:30:10,110 --> 00:30:07,030 I'm God and only on a handful of 558 00:30:15,950 --> 00:30:10,120 occasions have I actually seen faces 559 00:30:19,530 --> 00:30:15,960 bodies and I I don't ever remember being 560 00:30:22,590 --> 00:30:19,540 in a craft I would swear that I was 561 00:30:27,230 --> 00:30:22,600 underground or in a cave because that I 562 00:30:31,860 --> 00:30:27,240 had always smelled like wet rock musty 563 00:30:35,070 --> 00:30:31,870 just very dank and I you know I don't 564 00:30:37,710 --> 00:30:35,080 recall ever seeing you know gleaming 565 00:30:40,590 --> 00:30:37,720 walls full of flashing tech and lights 566 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:40,600 or anything like that it was dark it was 567 00:30:47,210 --> 00:30:43,210 me on a round what looked like a 568 00:30:50,790 --> 00:30:47,220 stainless steel table face down and then 569 00:30:54,330 --> 00:30:50,800 I'm unable to move and I just I see 570 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:54,340 those faces coming at me like they're 571 00:30:58,230 --> 00:30:56,410 gliding not even walking you don't see 572 00:31:01,470 --> 00:30:58,240 heads bobbing like they're walking I 573 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:01,480 just see them like gliding toward me and 574 00:31:06,390 --> 00:31:04,330 then that's it memories gone okay and 575 00:31:08,190 --> 00:31:06,400 now the the faces that you saw are they 576 00:31:11,310 --> 00:31:08,200 yeah pretty similar to what we see in 577 00:31:13,770 --> 00:31:11,320 your art yeah I've done two versions 578 00:31:16,530 --> 00:31:13,780 I've done the nice version which you 579 00:31:19,700 --> 00:31:16,540 which you see you know the more kind of 580 00:31:24,390 --> 00:31:19,710 cutesy almost adorable looking great but 581 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:24,400 the more menacing looking Gray's like 582 00:31:29,460 --> 00:31:26,650 I've done in the pictures Trio and 583 00:31:33,780 --> 00:31:29,470 quintet oh and used that one 584 00:31:37,230 --> 00:31:33,790 prolifically that that's exactly what I 585 00:31:40,170 --> 00:31:37,240 remember those faces right I've got one 586 00:31:42,870 --> 00:31:40,180 more question for you about this in 587 00:31:46,050 --> 00:31:42,880 conversations I've had in the past I've 588 00:31:49,110 --> 00:31:46,060 heard accounts where there's sort of a 589 00:31:51,330 --> 00:31:49,120 different levels of reality let's say on 590 00:31:54,810 --> 00:31:51,340 a scale of one to ten let's say our 591 00:31:55,980 --> 00:31:54,820 normal everyday reality like what well 592 00:31:57,540 --> 00:31:55,990 at least what I'm going through right 593 00:31:59,940 --> 00:31:57,550 now is I'm sitting here talking to you 594 00:32:00,300 --> 00:31:59,950 and hopefully roughly the same on your 595 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:00,310 end 596 00:32:04,910 --> 00:32:02,890 maybe being like an eight but I've also 597 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:04,920 heard descriptions of a hyper 598 00:32:10,220 --> 00:32:06,930 Galilee somehow a little bit more real 599 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:10,230 than real so I like calling this reality 600 00:32:15,310 --> 00:32:12,570 that you and I are experiencing at this 601 00:32:18,740 --> 00:32:15,320 moment and eight would you be able to 602 00:32:21,590 --> 00:32:18,750 put on a scale of one to ten what kind 603 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:21,600 of experience or what level of reality 604 00:32:28,190 --> 00:32:24,930 the dis experience take place if that 605 00:32:31,310 --> 00:32:28,200 makes any sense to you yeah I put it at 606 00:32:40,330 --> 00:32:31,320 a twenty or okay okay and I'll tell you 607 00:32:47,630 --> 00:32:44,540 hyper-intense nature of the experience 608 00:32:52,750 --> 00:32:47,640 itself I mean everything about it is 609 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:52,760 something that is outside of the norm of 610 00:32:59,540 --> 00:32:57,290 our day-to-day threee existence 611 00:33:02,120 --> 00:32:59,550 everything that you're witnessing and 612 00:33:05,870 --> 00:33:02,130 experiencing carrying defies all known 613 00:33:09,740 --> 00:33:05,880 laws of physics and it's very confusing 614 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:09,750 it's very disorienting because the very 615 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:12,690 second just one element of these things 616 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:15,330 is happening your mind is automatically 617 00:33:20,090 --> 00:33:17,850 trying to find a place within itself 618 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:20,100 that makes this makes sense and you 619 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:22,410 can't in and the next thing you know 620 00:33:29,230 --> 00:33:25,410 you've got six seven maybe a dozen of 621 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:29,240 these elements that are nonsensical and 622 00:33:34,220 --> 00:33:32,130 breaking these laws of physics happening 623 00:33:36,650 --> 00:33:34,230 all at once and you're you're just 624 00:33:42,380 --> 00:33:36,660 completely overwhelmed and bombarded and 625 00:33:45,620 --> 00:33:42,390 it just it's almost like you submit then 626 00:33:50,990 --> 00:33:45,630 acquiesce that's a line of defense just 627 00:33:57,230 --> 00:33:51,000 to not lose yourself entirely and but 628 00:33:58,850 --> 00:33:57,240 yeah it is it is in your face it is it's 629 00:34:02,360 --> 00:33:58,860 almost like it's inside you and outside 630 00:34:06,910 --> 00:34:02,370 you simultaneously and you cannot for 631 00:34:12,140 --> 00:34:09,440 okay anything else you want to add 632 00:34:17,690 --> 00:34:12,150 before I start getting back into the 3d 633 00:34:18,870 --> 00:34:17,700 stuff yeah okay okay now I know it's 634 00:34:22,850 --> 00:34:18,880 common for 635 00:34:25,710 --> 00:34:22,860 people to have experiences to have this 636 00:34:26,970 --> 00:34:25,720 compulsion I guess might might be at 637 00:34:29,340 --> 00:34:26,980 least one word there might be a better 638 00:34:30,990 --> 00:34:29,350 one but I'll call it compulsion and just 639 00:34:33,930 --> 00:34:31,000 for the sake of moving the conversation 640 00:34:36,570 --> 00:34:33,940 along but they feel compelled to sort of 641 00:34:39,810 --> 00:34:36,580 recreate artistically their experience 642 00:34:41,310 --> 00:34:39,820 and I was wondering if you've got any 643 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:41,320 thoughts I mean let's face it you know 644 00:34:46,740 --> 00:34:44,170 we live in a digital age the the digital 645 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:46,750 option is a one I mean yeah I suppose 646 00:34:51,930 --> 00:34:48,970 you could do it with you know a paint or 647 00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:51,940 a pencil or crayon or whatever the case 648 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:54,310 may be on paper and take a photograph of 649 00:34:58,800 --> 00:34:56,410 it and spread it around that way but do 650 00:35:00,870 --> 00:34:58,810 you have any advice for folks who might 651 00:35:03,390 --> 00:35:00,880 feel compelled to sort of recreate or 652 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:03,400 illustrate their experiences and how to 653 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:10,330 get started with all that well yes first 654 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:16,570 off be mindful of the obsession in my 655 00:35:24,690 --> 00:35:19,930 previous marriage I drove my first wife 656 00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:24,700 absolutely crazy I spent the whole of 657 00:35:29,220 --> 00:35:27,430 the 90s as seeing a lot of these 658 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:29,230 memories started showing up as 659 00:35:33,620 --> 00:35:31,330 nightmares in the middle of night dreams 660 00:35:38,010 --> 00:35:33,630 yeah I started remembering in my dreams 661 00:35:40,830 --> 00:35:38,020 because uh I I didn't have the memories 662 00:35:44,550 --> 00:35:40,840 right after the incident and many many 663 00:35:48,420 --> 00:35:44,560 of the events some I did but many of 664 00:35:51,330 --> 00:35:48,430 them I didn't have the ability to 665 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:51,340 remember a portion of what had happened 666 00:36:00,630 --> 00:35:55,570 until I was dreaming it like 25 26 years 667 00:36:03,540 --> 00:36:00,640 old I filled three portfolios full of 668 00:36:07,140 --> 00:36:03,550 pencil drawings and ink drawings of 669 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:07,150 these events that I would just draw over 670 00:36:16,710 --> 00:36:14,770 and over and over like the gal in Close 671 00:36:18,510 --> 00:36:16,720 Encounters of the Third Kind who kept 672 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:18,520 drawing and painting The Devil's Tower 673 00:36:24,930 --> 00:36:20,650 and hanging it all over her wall that 674 00:36:27,060 --> 00:36:24,940 was me with these events and just then I 675 00:36:29,970 --> 00:36:27,070 would drive it just draw the same thing 676 00:36:32,390 --> 00:36:29,980 over and over and over again and in some 677 00:36:38,839 --> 00:36:35,299 it's more subtle to you from the viewers 678 00:36:41,870 --> 00:36:38,849 perception because it's 3d because I can 679 00:36:43,579 --> 00:36:41,880 I can rotate around the view and it's 680 00:36:48,019 --> 00:36:43,589 not you know I'm not stuck in a TV 681 00:36:51,980 --> 00:36:48,029 format so basically you still see that 682 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:51,990 the same the same scenario it's the same 683 00:36:56,779 --> 00:36:54,690 events over and over and over again only 684 00:36:58,430 --> 00:36:56,789 I might change the background I might 685 00:37:00,349 --> 00:36:58,440 change the lighting a little bit or I 686 00:37:02,839 --> 00:37:00,359 might look at it from the side instead 687 00:37:06,829 --> 00:37:02,849 of directly face on this time but it's 688 00:37:10,730 --> 00:37:06,839 the same thing over and over again still 689 00:37:14,510 --> 00:37:10,740 trying to jog something to jar something 690 00:37:19,130 --> 00:37:14,520 to open up that damn gate rock block 691 00:37:23,210 --> 00:37:19,140 wall something and I I recommend though 692 00:37:26,650 --> 00:37:23,220 if you're with somebody you they either 693 00:37:29,450 --> 00:37:26,660 have to be extremely understanding and 694 00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:29,460 and I'm saying this more for the family 695 00:37:35,809 --> 00:37:32,730 you not not from the artist or creative 696 00:37:40,609 --> 00:37:35,819 view because I already know that you 697 00:37:44,769 --> 00:37:40,619 could be doing this and and you lose all 698 00:37:46,789 --> 00:37:44,779 sense of time you lose all sense of 699 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:46,799 spatial relationship in your 700 00:37:51,650 --> 00:37:49,410 surroundings you can be at something for 701 00:37:54,289 --> 00:37:51,660 five hours involving this stupid 702 00:37:57,650 --> 00:37:54,299 obsession and it feels like thirty 703 00:38:00,349 --> 00:37:57,660 Seconds to you meanwhile your family 704 00:38:05,660 --> 00:38:00,359 hasn't seen you then maybe you haven't 705 00:38:08,359 --> 00:38:05,670 showered or anything and they're they're 706 00:38:12,470 --> 00:38:08,369 the ones that are paying not you you 707 00:38:15,109 --> 00:38:12,480 you're just being silently crazy while 708 00:38:18,019 --> 00:38:15,119 they're witnessing all of this and 709 00:38:23,150 --> 00:38:18,029 wanting a normal life and you're not 710 00:38:24,620 --> 00:38:23,160 giving it to them that that is I think 711 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:24,630 yeah you raised an excellent point 712 00:38:29,210 --> 00:38:27,690 because I think that is and obviously 713 00:38:32,359 --> 00:38:29,220 I've got a lot of friends here who were 714 00:38:38,029 --> 00:38:32,369 into all this and it's not so much the 715 00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:38,039 subject per se but the time then it that 716 00:38:45,589 --> 00:38:41,730 it can chew up and that is the issue I 717 00:38:46,099 --> 00:38:45,599 think in terms of a lot of personal 718 00:38:49,220 --> 00:38:46,109 difficult 719 00:38:51,499 --> 00:38:49,230 as I've heard about that just it's just 720 00:38:53,690 --> 00:38:51,509 you chewing up too much time and that 721 00:38:56,269 --> 00:38:53,700 taking away from other things that are 722 00:38:58,640 --> 00:38:56,279 also very important obviously yeah it's 723 00:39:04,069 --> 00:38:58,650 not nice to do close friends and family 724 00:39:06,499 --> 00:39:04,079 at all yeah if if you allow yourself to 725 00:39:09,549 --> 00:39:06,509 fall down that freakin rabbit hole you 726 00:39:14,779 --> 00:39:09,559 don't walk through Alice's mirror and 727 00:39:19,039 --> 00:39:14,789 that you don't care you're just lost in 728 00:39:22,130 --> 00:39:19,049 it and you just I don't know you feel 729 00:39:25,039 --> 00:39:22,140 like you feel like you're in the storm 730 00:39:27,349 --> 00:39:25,049 instead of being smarten and taking the 731 00:39:29,779 --> 00:39:27,359 objective viewpoint above the storm so 732 00:39:34,069 --> 00:39:29,789 that you can not only see the storm but 733 00:39:37,729 --> 00:39:34,079 all of those involved by its impact and 734 00:39:39,529 --> 00:39:37,739 you can't do that when you're so in the 735 00:39:42,349 --> 00:39:39,539 middle of the storm that you become the 736 00:39:45,049 --> 00:39:42,359 storm itself and that is not not good 737 00:39:48,890 --> 00:39:45,059 like I said for your family close 738 00:39:50,989 --> 00:39:48,900 friends possibly even your job you just 739 00:39:54,019 --> 00:39:50,999 you don't stop talking about it you 740 00:39:56,150 --> 00:39:54,029 don't you don't stop to eat think it's 741 00:39:58,789 --> 00:39:56,160 like an addict with cigarettes you know 742 00:40:01,489 --> 00:39:58,799 do all your friends that you make our 743 00:40:03,470 --> 00:40:01,499

focus on and I'm really 801 00:43:04,730 --> 00:43:02,460 stressed the emotional aspect of it 802 00:43:07,940 --> 00:43:04,740 because that's where the details are you 803 00:43:12,590 --> 00:43:07,950 know when when you ask somebody to 804 00:43:13,550 --> 00:43:12,600 describe something that's sweetness and 805 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:13,560 light and 806 00:43:18,470 --> 00:43:15,810 to feel good that's not a lot of detail 807 00:43:22,370 --> 00:43:18,480 there usually just to tell you it's very 808 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:22,380 bright and colorful and and it's more of 809 00:43:28,250 --> 00:43:25,530 a feeling in that regard but you ask 810 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:28,260 that person to create something that is 811 00:43:33,170 --> 00:43:30,930 fearful and every single time that's 812 00:43:37,910 --> 00:43:33,180 when all of the the shirt and gooey 813 00:43:40,270 --> 00:43:37,920 fangs and nasty teeth and the mangy fur 814 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:40,280 extension yeah I mean you could smell it 815 00:43:46,190 --> 00:43:43,770 that all that detail comes out in 816 00:43:47,510 --> 00:43:46,200 fear-based imagery so it depends on 817 00:43:49,610 --> 00:43:47,520 their experience I'm not saying that 818 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:49,620 everybody had a bad experience mine were 819 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:53,370 traumatic I did not have the happy 820 00:43:59,540 --> 00:43:56,850 kumbaya you know going by my weight and 821 00:44:01,730 --> 00:43:59,550 jimbe sit around a campfire meaty 822 00:44:04,430 --> 00:44:01,740 experiences I'm not even convinced that 823 00:44:10,550 --> 00:44:04,440 they were eating I just know that they 824 00:44:14,390 --> 00:44:10,560 look like me and I I just I don't know 825 00:44:17,240 --> 00:44:14,400 I'm still stuck in I don't know yeah I 826 00:44:19,250 --> 00:44:17,250 think it's important that you don't have 827 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:19,260 to a develop the talent that Eric's tent 828 00:44:24,410 --> 00:44:22,050 has and just to provide an illustration 829 00:44:25,610 --> 00:44:24,420 that that helps people understand that 830 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:25,620 what you saw and what you went through 831 00:44:33,340 --> 00:44:28,610 that it's a it's a form of communication 832 00:44:37,190 --> 00:44:33,350 the reason why that's important is is 833 00:44:39,860 --> 00:44:37,200 well because it is up until that point a 834 00:44:42,170 --> 00:44:39,870 memory and that's just kind of like this 835 00:44:45,740 --> 00:44:42,180 pithy aspect floating around in their 836 00:44:49,790 --> 00:44:45,750 cranium their psyche and when they begin 837 00:44:51,770 --> 00:44:49,800 to pencil it or paint it and it's 838 00:44:53,690 --> 00:44:51,780 something they can hold in their hands 839 00:44:56,810 --> 00:44:53,700 now they can touch it they could see it 840 00:45:00,380 --> 00:44:56,820 and they could show it to others it in 841 00:45:04,010 --> 00:45:00,390 that regard it is now real this is a 842 00:45:06,620 --> 00:45:04,020 thing that is tangible and relatable 843 00:45:10,610 --> 00:45:06,630 whereas you're trying to convey it 844 00:45:13,340 --> 00:45:10,620 through words from your thought cloud to 845 00:45:15,590 --> 00:45:13,350 another me more often than not you just 846 00:45:18,260 --> 00:45:15,600 come across crazy you may still come 847 00:45:21,290 --> 00:45:18,270 across crazy you know when you've got it 848 00:45:24,259 --> 00:45:21,300 on a drawing or painting but at least 849 00:45:26,899 --> 00:45:24,269 they're crazy looks cool now 850 00:45:28,669 --> 00:45:26,909 and you know what you're saying that 851 00:45:30,379 --> 00:45:28,679 kind of reminds me of the old adage of 852 00:45:33,429 --> 00:45:30,389 picture's worth a thousand words 853 00:45:36,919 --> 00:45:33,439 exactly but that might be conservative 854 00:45:39,169 --> 00:45:36,929 very conservative because if you and in 855 00:45:42,409 --> 00:45:39,179 the more accurately you're portraying 856 00:45:45,409 --> 00:45:42,419 your memory the more accurately you're 857 00:45:47,329 --> 00:45:45,419 portraying your experience in in 858 00:45:50,539 --> 00:45:47,339 whatever medium you're choosing to 859 00:45:54,229 --> 00:45:50,549 portray again the more app that you're 860 00:45:58,339 --> 00:45:54,239 able to accurately have that same 861 00:46:02,269 --> 00:45:58,349 emotion and feeling in the viewer you're 862 00:46:05,419 --> 00:46:02,279 showing it to and now like you that 863 00:46:09,109 --> 00:46:05,429 viewer is left with no choice how to 864 00:46:11,569 --> 00:46:09,119 feel when they see the imagery you've 865 00:46:14,329 --> 00:46:11,579 created whereas that's very hard to do 866 00:46:16,159 --> 00:46:14,339 with words got it 867 00:46:17,779 --> 00:46:16,169 do you have anything else for the folks 868 00:46:23,829 --> 00:46:17,789 listening in anything else you want to 869 00:46:28,759 --> 00:46:23,839 talk about if they like what I do and 870 00:46:34,089 --> 00:46:28,769 either want to experience you know some 871 00:46:37,489 --> 00:46:34,099 of my creativity themselves I've got my 872 00:46:42,079 --> 00:46:37,499 Facebook page at facebook.com forward 873 00:46:45,169 --> 00:46:42,089 slash Eric stick and then I have my 874 00:46:48,829 --> 00:46:45,179 portfolio page is a Eric

--> 00:48:36,510 now to discuss something that happened 912 00:48:44,410 --> 00:48:39,240 Friday night there was a bit of a a 913 00:48:48,230 --> 00:48:44,420 blow-up over on Twitter some UFO folks 914 00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:48,240 who are following Diana pessoa 915 00:48:55,130 --> 00:48:52,050 who is the author of American cosmic and 916 00:48:57,050 --> 00:48:55,140 she's been a guest on the show let's see 917 00:48:58,460 --> 00:48:57,060 when was it it was it was about a year 918 00:49:00,080 --> 00:48:58,470 ago it was actually about a year ago 919 00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:00,090 when she came on and we discussed in 920 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:03,540 depth her book American cosmic and of 921 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:06,090 course she's been involved quite a bit 922 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:09,090 with some of the the scientists who 923 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:12,450 either are either are or have been or 924 00:49:19,610 --> 00:49:17,090 perhaps a link removed from the tts a 925 00:49:23,390 --> 00:49:19,620 organization that Tom DeLonge Zorgon 926 00:49:26,030 --> 00:49:23,400 ization involved in the UFOs and the 927 00:49:29,030 --> 00:49:26,040 obviously yeah there's a little bit of 928 00:49:31,790 --> 00:49:29,040 doubt as to whether or not these tweets 929 00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:31,800 came directly from her but now let's go 930 00:49:38,900 --> 00:49:35,430 through them now and this is what came 931 00:49:41,420 --> 00:49:38,910 about and there's Diana at the Vatican 932 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:41,430 and there's Diana again and there was 933 00:49:46,370 --> 00:49:44,370 the cover of her book and but let's say 934 00:49:51,230 --> 00:49:46,380 I let's say I get through this really 935 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:51,240 quickly here and what she basically I 936 00:49:55,730 --> 00:49:52,890 there's some controversy as to whether 937 00:50:00,230 --> 00:49:55,740 or not these tweets came directly from 938 00:50:04,790 --> 00:50:00,240 her or if she was hacked now well let's 939 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:04,800 see obviously a shot at Tom DeLonge here 940 00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:07,050 I hired a person to read his books on 941 00:50:12,230 --> 00:50:09,330 the topic I researched and wrote my own 942 00:50:14,780 --> 00:50:12,240 he is a Mason I'm a Jewish Irish 943 00:50:17,450 --> 00:50:14,790 genocide survivor I have a lot to lose 944 00:50:20,620 --> 00:50:17,460 TTL does not I know all of a scientist 945 00:50:22,730 --> 00:50:20,630 they are defecting and they should now 946 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:22,740 well let's so let's go through some of 947 00:50:25,910 --> 00:50:25,410 the other tweets watch the effect what's 948 00:50:28,100 --> 00:50:25,920 the issue 949 00:50:30,890 --> 00:50:28,110 scientists are generally stand-up types 950 00:50:33,170 --> 00:50:30,900 of people T TSA is a PSYOP their 951 00:50:36,740 --> 00:50:33,180 scientists are figuring this out and 952 00:50:39,970 --> 00:50:36,750 leaving obviously the the SIOP word it's 953 00:50:43,700 --> 00:50:39,980 a bit of a loaded expression but 954 00:50:47,359 --> 00:50:43,710 basically let's let's put the word SIOP 955 00:50:52,060 --> 00:50:47,369 aside it is in fact been pretty well 956 00:50:56,060 --> 00:50:52,070 known that the the t TSA approaches not 957 00:50:58,490 --> 00:50:56,070 universally embraced by some folks in 958 00:51:02,840 --> 00:50:58,500 the scientific community then she goes 959 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:02,850 on a little more basically my issue is 960 00:51:06,140 --> 00:51:04,770 they are using media technologies to 961 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:06,150 target children to believe their 962 00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:09,090 narrative I have no idea TDL has kids 963 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:12,690 but this is so uncool and of course this 964 00:51:21,109 --> 00:51:17,570 this gets into basically the the t/ta 965 00:51:25,769 --> 00:51:21,119 narrative which is of course and we've 966 00:51:32,589 --> 00:51:28,959 resignation letter from the government 967 00:51:35,049 --> 00:51:32,599 that before he joined T TSA and in 968 00:51:38,409 --> 00:51:35,059 summation I think this pretty well I'm 969 00:51:41,019 --> 00:51:38,419 gonna pull this up here now and so I can 970 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:41,029 read it because obviously it's a little 971 00:51:47,169 --> 00:51:45,890 bit small on the print in the software 972 00:51:51,359 --> 00:51:47,179 I'm looking at so I've got to pull it up 973 00:51:53,799 --> 00:51:51,369 separately let's see here yeah basically 974 00:51:56,409 --> 00:51:53,809 from the letter A despite overwhelming 975 00:51:59,019 --> 00:51:56,419 evidence at both the unclassified and 976 00:52:00,459 --> 00:51:59,029 classified levels certain individuals in 977 00:52:03,159 --> 00:52:00,469 the Department of relay remains 978 00:52:05,079 --> 00:52:03,169 staunchly opposed to further research on 979 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:05,089 what could be a tactical threat to our 980 00:52:10,809 --> 00:52:07,729 pilots sailors and soldiers and perhaps 981 00:52:14,259 --> 00:52:10,819 even an extensional existential threat 982 00:52:17,439 --> 00:52:14,269 to our national security so that is an 983 00:52:22,089 --> 00:52:17,449 issue with some folks they they don't 984 00:52:24,189 --> 00:52:22,099 like the threat angle basically I've 985 00:52:25,749 --> 00:52:24,199 been critical of it myself and it's been 986 00:52:29,049 --> 00:52:25,759 discussed here on the show on numerous 987 00:52:33,459 --> 00:52:29,059 occasions the basically the fear port 988 00:52:37,419 --> 00:52:33,469 angle that UFOs ETS are a threat and of 989 00:52:41,199 --> 00:52:37,429 course that is obviously not shared in 990 00:52:43,839 --> 00:52:41,209 every circle that is certainly not the 991 00:52:47,079 --> 00:52:43,849 case and also the fact that they're 992 00:52:50,199 --> 00:52:47,089 involved in craters with the military 993 00:52:53,409 --> 00:52:50,209 and that it's thought in some circles 994 00:52:58,870 --> 00:52:53,419 that that in fact compromises them in 995 00:53:02,069 --> 00:52:58,880 terms of what if you the elephant in the 996 00:53:05,349
