Ookoolaylay Ghost

Today we have my ukulele. She rocks.

And Ghost Dick has made his return on some fake legal pad sheets.

 

Of Girls and Unicorns

This is a revisitationrevisiualzation of something old. Of a girl and a robot.

And I can't remember if this has been on here before or not... if so I'll replace it if it is... but it kind of went so very well with this one.

Dick n Wand

Here we got a wand I pulled from the ether and sculpted. And An idea for a Ghost Dick comic. I know, right? Its been so long... but Ghost Dick and Friends could be coming back at least for a short run. So best start a celebration dance.

Films and Films

So I recently watched a documentary entitled, These Amazing Shadows, about the National Film Registry. Basically it is a government run program, part if the Library of Congress, that chooses 25 films every December to preserve, or/or restore. A lot of films have been very badly damaged, mishandled, stored poorly, and neglected over the years and even more have been lost or destroyed completely. This art form needs to be preserved as other great works of art in various areas have been.

So far I'm diggin' a lot of their selections. Among the many movies (I think there are around 500 so far) they have The Court Jester, The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, Back to the Future, Thriller, Fargo, that "Let's all go to the lobby" animation, Endless Summer, Freaks, the Black Stallion, the Philadelphia Story, and a home movie called Disneyland Dream that was made by a family in the 50s (1956 I think) that won a trip to D-land from "Scotch: a cellophane tape company".

So with little further ado here is my list. If I was given complete control of this year's films and didn't give a whole heck of a lot of thought behind it (Which I'm sure I could hone and agonize over until December) this is what I came up with. Keep in mind they must be at least 10 years old, from the good ole US of A, and be culturally, historically, or aesthetically important.
