W. Burroughs stencil and shotgun blast

Plywood, white primer, black spray paint & stencil, acrylic house paint, balloons, Mossberg 12 gauge shotgun (thanks to P.S.N. for use of the gun.)

I am giving these the label "action painting" for lack of a better word to describe them ("shotgun art"? ehhh. . . ) I'm sure Pollock and de Kooning and art history professors would take issue with my use of that phrase, but screw them-- they can bring it up with my friend Mossberg Twelvegauge.

Another one to file under "WTF?" THIS is the benefit of looking to see if that camera in the thrift store still has film inside-- you never know what you'll find (though it's usually not something as weird as this.)

Feel free to add your own caption.

I use the top pair as my desktop background.

Collage

"The Texas Governor"

Dates from about 1996, title chosen later. This one was falling apart when I pulled it out. So it goes.

Photo "scroll"

After my Bazooka camera died I tried switching to a cheap 35mm camera and used it to take multiple exposure pics. This was one attempt that ended up as a long scroll of overlapping exposures. (Click on the photo for a better detail.)

Abba Stencil

Spray stencil t-shirt for 70's Swedish heavy metal legends "Abba" (yeah, hilarious)-- to get the white spray paint to cover well on a black t-shirt you need to really put it on thick, which (if you do it too fast) makes it bleed through the fabric. I really should switch to fabric paint; old habits die hard. (Maybe try another font too-- this one maybe isn't evil/gothic enough.)

(To be fair, the top two were already kind of psychedelic before I treated them: double exposures using alternating red and blue filters.)
