ACID MAN Society




     There is a self published book/zine/mini comic I put out every now and then called the Acid Man Society. There could be anything in here from comics to written thoughts, paintings or diagrams that I create. I'm always playing around with cover ideas and lettering designs for the title. Here are a few recent items. I am at issue No.29 so far in my AM series.

IN STEREO








All right kiddies. Free Inside! 
.....or rather Free inside your mind. Because today in the Nakfactorium we have some 3D eye boggling to do. No special glasses are required. Just simple cross-eyed concentration. It's easy!
Here's how to do it.
1. Click beside the image to get a larger view.
2. Place your finger between the images.
3. Slowly move your finger towards you while keeping a focus on your finger. A third image will slowly grow between the two images.
4. When this middle image is the same size as the other two, stop moving your finger towards you. 
5. Remember to keep your focus on that distance where you finger is and do not change your focus to the image behind it.
6. Move your hand quickly away (don't change your focus ) and that middle image will become three-dimensionally clear!

Here are three to get you going. Write me for more!

Organic Solids



     As with an earlier post with a picture titled Table Space, this top image started off with a vision that I just had to jump on. It's a strange feeling because sometimes you don't have the whole picture just the beginning of it. You know how it is supposed to start then once you get going, once you connect spirit to action or idea to paper (or computer in this instance) the rest just spills out. Kind of like a fragment of a dream that you barely remember but once you start thinking about it......
    So in this instance this 'vision' was simply three bars... three vertical rectangles, which soon turned to six and then really the rest is a bit of a blur and before I knew it it was finished. Sure I can go into variations at this point, have different borders, redeligate the surrounding space dimensions, but the main engine is all there.
     When I had the vision at first it was like having three notes to a familiar song, "yeah I can name that tune", and then you start singing and let it go. The New Music theme was there as soon as I put those black keys in and then the title was there right at that moment because you don't have 5 black keys in a row on a piano or keyboard, so this whole idea of playing the notes between the notes and the sounds that are made in between those notes are what really then informed the process.
