As they both prepared to attend this evening's festive Costume Ball, ABig, Beautiful Woman Named Mary-Lou looked on with a mixture of boredom and pity at the flailing gestures of her best friend, Peggy-Lee, as Mary-Lou couldn't decide which concept she found more saddening:

2011-10-31T16:27:00.001-04:00

A) Some people are unable to free themselves in a positive or uplifting way from the humdrum and everyday of this life without first donning a MASK...

or B) Halloween only comes but once a year.

Well, for what it's worth, I hope all of you happy havoc-wreakers had a safe return from Halloween, 2011...

However, THIS illustrator opted to stay home, whiling away the hours watching films running a full gamut as varied as "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou" to "Rashomon" that night...and (in all likelihood) every other All hollow's eve thereafter, far into the foreseeable future...

Queen Nanny of The Maroons

2011-02-15T06:06:00.008-05:00

Somewhere within the now-difficult-to-explore, vaulted corridors of the mass history of the Colonial Slave Trade of Africans in the New World, Caribbean Military Myth, Anglo-Saxon intrigue and the legends of Jamaican Folklore resides one of the single most explosive tales in the entire lexicon of African heroism in bondage: this tapestry of myth and reality is known popularly in Jamaican culture as Queen Nanny of the Maroons.

Reputed to have been a mighty military strategist and sorceress in her native Ghana, the fierce warrior woman depicted here had been brought to the new world while in the shackles of dehumanizing woe, after having been thrust from her rightful place as a regent and commander of great armies of African might by the white capitalist zeal of slave-masters and military generals with no compulsion, compassion or common decency toward any man or woman of color.

However, as she found herself walking in forcible servitude in an 18th Century Jamaica now fully wracked with consistent rumblings of slave rebellion, this Nubian-black warrior princess would find herself called upon again to enact her majestic powers of divination and fearsome military prowess (emulative and, no doubt, directly influenced by the long legacy of black military geniuses such as Hannibal and the Zulu nations of Western Africa) in the service of a new impetus: freedom and unfettered emancipation from British Colonial rule, on shores and island principalities all but foreign and alien to her own people.

Nevertheless, according to the hallowed legends of her life, this 18th century, fist-to-cuff freedom fighter would go on to prove not just merely a shrewd combatant against the British, but also a feared and revered mystic siren reputed to wield control over life and death itself as she melded the ancient ways of the far-flung African homeland with the new fighting implements of her racist, British Colonial captors.

In fact, Nanny has gone on to enjoy a sort of spectral beatification to this day in the Caribbean as a result of her reputation as a visionary, hand-to-hand combat saint: Nanny would be made sole, matriarchal head of the now-indigenous Maroon Tribe of Jamaica as she would prove successful in leading the African slaves of Jamaica in warding off the advances of the befuddled, technologically superior forces of the English Crown of the time, laughing to scorn the alleged primacy of White racist dictate while mauling Britain’s best trained soldiers in battle, all while valiantly holding aloft her majestic African staff of power with one clenched fist of feminine fury.

Fairies VIII:The Archangel Gabriella

2010-07-17T19:45:00.006-04:00

Fairies VIII:The Archangel Gabriella, originally uploaded by Alphaholics Non-Anonymous Art Studios.

There is a nexus between Heaven and Hell wherein the eye of God is a crescent of satin-hued undulation and fire-billowing turmoil. Atop this concave and robust seat of conscious power rests a guardian of the most oft-fabled hinter-roads and less traveled peaks of the karma-teetering cosmos.

This being has been known, feared, worshipped and observed in a variety of different manifestations through human history: in the time of The Roman Empire, this entity had been obsessed with attempting to change the naturally froward predilections of the Godless denizens of the earth while using a potent assemblage of bows and arrows hewn from the substance of God’s ethereal spirit dominion.

Thus, the Romans dubbed the being Cupid, the God of Love, as the most high Patrician lords of Roman society found it pleasurable to metamorphose a harbinger of death into a salutation of great kindness.

The Being had once even been the mythic phoenix, as she had been observed weeping such tears of dreadful calamity at spectacles such as the burning of The Library of Alexandria, the willful mauling of Copernicus and Galileo, the killing of the saints at Auschwitz, Dachau --and even the far too numerous ghettos of our own present day-- that the soul-pores of her ethereal flesh had been emblazoned to the point of toxicity.

Now: her visage simply treads in the upper-most vantage points of the universal divide between The Creator and The Created, preparing subtly to arise from the heart shaped crescent seat of God’s mind. This rippling ocean of God’s intellect will very shortly be revealed as either a silkily substantial afterlife of contentment or an endlessly churning furnace of blood-red torpor lying at the ready for us all.

Wonder Woman: Her New Lasso and My Latest Lamentation

2010-07-17T19:44:00.019-04:00

Wonder Woman: Her New Lasso and My Latest Lamentation, originally uploaded by Alphaholics Non-Anonymous Art Studios.

[writer's note: I had originally stated that the creator of Wonder Woman had been Chestor Gould. However, I had suffered a regrettable lapse in memory, in confusing Gould (The Creator of Dick Tracy) with Marston. I apologize for that error, and sincerely appreciate the correction from the anonymous blogger in the comment section at the end of this posting.]

As many reading this message are no doubt aware, there has been no inconsiderable amount of argument and irate speculation on the recent rethinking and re-imagining of the visual auspices of that most seminal DC Comics Character, Wonder Woman.

Apparently, DC Comics and the hierarchical potentates thereof have been readily seizing upon the alleged “stuffiness” of the Amazonian Siren-Heroine’s costume Couture, deciding to hire famed Comic Artist of the moment Jim Lee to revamp Wonder Woman’s image into something that could potentially be deemed to be more “contemporary”.

However, within the first few months of 2010 (immediately after the unveiling of the character’s new “threads”), the new character design has been unarguably denigrated and pitiably vilified by every thronging component of societal fashion and commentary imaginable.

At any rate, I decided to ply my somewhat meager resources to my own re-amalgamation of Wonder Woman, while keeping firmly in mind the original intent of Her Creator and initial illustrator, One Charles Marston.

Marston, an unabashed purveyor of kink and sexual sado-masochism, had the unregulated gall and ferocity of singular vulgarity to create Wonder Woman in the late 40s as nothing more than an excuse to fiendishly slip into mainstream American Comic book Culture imagery and portent more befitting a bondage and spanking fetish catalog from Frederick’s of Hollywood.

Indeed, if one were to peruse the original run of Wonder Woman as She had appeared under the stewardship of Mr. Marston, one’s modern sensibilities would be quite amused (and/or bewildered) at the sheer audacity of Marston’s incorporation of copious images of Dominatrix Spanking, sheer legged bondage and other assorted camp sex kitsch better regulated to the back rooms of S and M parlors…as opposed to mass market books for children.

Even as I recognize the innate redundancy of the two previous paragraphs to one another, I feel as though it requires restating: Marston’s entire intent was to sublimate (rather than augment) the status of woman to his own prurient desires.

In fact, I believe that Marston would be more than just a tad bit amused by the manner in which Wonder Woman’s image has been co-opted by The Women’s Liberation Movement…as members of that movement seem completely oblivious to the character’s less than “feminine empowering” past.

At any rate, my design isn’t particularly ground-breaking in any real degree: the only real innovation is my contribution of thinking about what to do with that most noxious “magic Lasso”. I’ve opted to try to make the Lasso an almost “living” part of the character by having it all wrap tightly around her right leg. Thus, the lasso would uncoil itself at will from her leg, when she mentally “orders” it to do so.

Also, I would argue that, in my own attempt to reincorporate the innately “covertly sexualized” nature of the character (by making the lasso a sort of symbiotic “garter belt”), perhaps I’ve made something with at least that addition to the “legend” which may just appease This Character’s thronging legion of presently peeved Fans...as well as the daringly “genre-bending” Marston himself

A Topless Black Woman-Dedicated to Chris Lindberg

2010-05-09T18:34:00.008-04:00

A Topless Black Woman-Dedicated to Chris Lindberg, originally uploaded by Alphaholics Non-Anonymous Art Studios.

As this illustration had been something I'd just simply whipped up late last year, I hadn't truly felt the need to post it to the internet in any real vein or seriousness (as I had found it nothing more than a rather jejune exercise in speedy sketching).

However, perhaps that had all been nothing more than a ruse I'd foisted onto myself, in order to avoid the truth of the strange story surrounding it all: I am a member of a rather popular group on Yahoo called Pin-Up Heaven (a group whose administrator, One Mistress Khwan, actually appears in another of my illustrations on this site entitled "Mistress Khwan Ubon, One of The Most Saucily Delineated Web-RingMasters of This Circus Known as Cyberspace"), and after being a member regularly posting illustrations of nude and semi-nude women onto this group's bulletin board for nigh a year, one EXTREMELY ardent member named Chris Lindberg sent me a private e-mail, with an equally "challenging" request.

Apparently, Mr. Lindberg had had opportunity to take a look at another one of my pieces entitled "A Large Bottomed Latina" (also, available for perusal on this site).

As a result, Mr. Lindberg had been quite enthused in a fashion I can only describe as...well, again, "EXTREMELY ENRAPTURED".

Mr. Lindberg continued to state that he would appreciate it if I could create a piece wherein a black woman would stand "topless, wearing nothing more than blue jeans, while bare-footed, with a dagger tattooed onto her left breast while clutching her chest in a writhing ballet of pain, with her eyes clenched and teeth in a death-grip of fear."

I am, of course, paraphrasing.

However, not by much.

Flummoxed and flabbergasted, I responded (rather sheepishly, I'm afraid) that I found his idea fearsome, startling and one of the most terrifyingly, overtly caterwauling ideas I had ever had the distinct opportunity to read with my own eyes. I also stated that I would accept the challenge.

However, all of this had happened in late 2008, and I became enmeshed in other things.

Again, without warning, Mr. Lindberg contacts me again via E-mail in mid 2009, pleading with me to take another look at the original ideas he had submitted.

In a sudden flush of shame, I took to adminstering this very quick sketch.

However, if anyone would like to take a exhaustive,non-ordinary and (doubtless) excruciatingly debauched try at Mr. Lindberg's original "visual stimulus package", I'm sure the rest of us ---including the ever-vigilant Mr. Lindberg-- would laud your efforts to stimulate the increasingly "originality depressed" region of existence known as " Cyberspace Country" (HA!)

The Spartan Warriors of Salt Lake Citadel, Utah and The Rebellion inThe Badlands

2010-02-16T18:51:00.004-05:00

The Spartan Warriors of Salt Lake Citadel, Utah and The Rebellion in The Badlands, originally uploaded by Alphaholics Non-Anonymous Art Studios.

By the end of the 21st Century, the religious organization known both officially as The Church of Latter-Day Saints and popularly as the Mormon Movement will face a dissimulation in it's membership and popularity in the Midwest and most regions of Middle America as a result of stagnating membership amongst it's flock, the rise of a new totalitarian political regime originating from the outward regions of the Northwestern Pacific and (most specifically) the failure of the realization of the prophesies as written by Mormon Founder Joseph Smith in it's central religious manifesto “The Book of Mormon”.

Of course, the one most central thesis of this extraordinary, American-created religious consortium of Christianity-based Theological intrigue currently states that when the Kingdom of The God of Israel returns to reclaim its rightful dominion over the prefecture of Planet Earth as well as the heavens above it, the seat of god's kingdom will be secured directly in the original location of a mystic region of land described in The Book of Genesis as the first acreage of earth ever to know the foot tread of Humans, The Garden of Eden---which the Mormon faith indicates had originally been in Branson, Missouri.

Even when presented with the convex argument that the Garden of Eden would have been originally situated in Africa (as per The Book of Genesis describing it as a region located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers), the Mormon Church will remain resolute in their own very individualistic interpretation of the Holy Bible, as seen through the interpretive eyes of their founders and it's own Book of Mormon.

This trend will continue up until the dissolution of the U.S. Government as we know it, which will occur by the year 2087.

This chain of events will be precipitated by the colossal breakdown of the entire economic status quo of mainstream Corporate America, a regrettable exhausting of the United States' once seemingly inexhaustible slate of innate natural resources coupled with a depleting of America's marketability in the face of widespread illiteracy and rampant joblessness. This will all result in a populace staring fixedly at a new American Dark Age, while the boundaries of the western states and provinces become transient and lacking for any sort of logical demarcation.

As the nation turns to widespread violence, noisome moral depravity and sociological malaise, the last surviving members of the leadership of the still economically immaculate Mormon Church begin to retool its message from one of eventual salvation to yet another, steeped lavishly in another classicist ideal: The Way of The Warrior, stalwart and unencumbered in any manner by fear.

By resolving to discard the tenets of Christianity while embracing anew the legend of that most legendary of Warrior tribes from the Annals of Western Military History -- The Spartans -- The Mormons rechristen their group The Regeneral Militia of The Caste of The Clouds.

In desperate response to the teeming barbarism of the unsettling times and mores of an American Culture firmly imploding into quite disconcerting volatility, The former Mormon leadership will delve heavily into not merely Spartan Legend, but also Celtic folklore, Zulu Tribal Training and the faith mores of the Norse Viking.

In so doing, This new sect of warriors will be trained from birth to think in terms of their own lineage being literally “descended from the firmament of the above realms beyond the clouds of earth”, placed here on this planet to hew and sculpt their minds, bodies and resources of dexterity into something “more than mere flesh and sinew”.

In essence, both male and female members of The Regeneral Militia of The Caste of The Clouds will be indoctrinated into the finer points of athleticism, hunting, fighting, battle preparedness and wilderness survival in fashions every bit as brutal and potentially spirit hardening, as those endured by Spartan soldiers in Ancient Greece (including the full re-enacting of such classic Spartan doctrine such as compulsory enlistment for every male in the “military apparatus”, complete involvement in the hunting of humans and other prey in the wilderness outside of Spartan society without Adult aid at ages as young as 6 or 7, and the complete immersion into patriarchal sexual prejudices---including homosexuality amongst male and female members of the “Holy Caste of The Clouds”).

In the scene depicted herein, we are witnessing two young male competitors within the Caste of The Clouds who have, by the rights of Caste Constitutional fiat, been relegated to venturing out from their tribal homestead in the dusk-settled valleys of what had once been metropolitan Salt Lake City, Utah and into the considerably untoward ramparts of what The Caste called “Middle Earth America”: namely, the violently raging prairies of what had been the bordering states of Nevada, Arizona and (the prime site of peoples regarded by the Caste as “sanctimonious barbarians”) California.

As predetermined by the Laws of The Way of The Caste, these two young men endeavor to do battle with the countless scores of lawless brigands outside of the tightly secured homestead of The Caste. They have just both successfully completed their training with an official ceremonial observance performed at the Caste Worship Altar of The Clouds far behind them, in the rear right.

Now both having been given the official military rank of “Elder”, these young men must walk with great rigor while always nude, carrying a simulacrum of a weapon called a “Cloud Scythe” (so named and shaped, as an allegory to the biblical ideal given by Jesus in The New Testament of the Kingdom of God “sowing seeds” of belief in the “sometimes fertile, often unfertile fields” which The Caste of The Clouds consider the hardened hearts of men, while eventually returning to “reap” and collect the fruits of “laboring in faith”).

In fact, these young Elders of The Caste of Clouds are sanctioned to deliver a message championing the idea of senseless murder, rape and darkness of spirit into being reconnoitered into conditioned warfare abilities, potent military might and fearless (though, allegedly, “noble”) capacities in hand to hand combativeness which would be (theoretically) second to none.

Even as the mission of The Regeneral Militia of The Caste of The Clouds has proven wildly popular with many (resulting in many converts to this new “Faith of Fury and Fighting with Fate” in regions as scattered and dissimilar in danger and dilemma as the former Oregon, Colorado, New York State and even the notorious badlands of the territories these new Caste of The Clouds Elders are destined to arrive in on foot: California), these young men are alternately quite aware of the sacrifice made by so many others who have braved the elements of “military mission creating”.

This is easily evidenced by the numerous, unmarked Tablets of Beatification depicted on the right surrounding the Caste of Clouds' Worship altar (erected in deference to numerous Missionary Military Elders who've been felled in the midst of their missionary duties), as well as the still unmarried, nubile female members of the caste known as “thigh-flashers” on the far, darkened left (so named in deference to their ancient female precursors from Spartan Civilization, both of which are renowned for their physical prowess, their unparalleled beauty and their infamously voracious sexual appetites and submissiveness).
