  1. Nice! First, the american body repaints it's own head (of state) / his own eye's in Jupiter-orange on blue background. Second Jupiter eye on top of 12- eyed plant (Jupiter / plant-collective connection). Third a dove of peace and joy also with one Jupiter orange eye. And finally the cat with two Jupiter orange eyes and a big black hole / black sun-mouth connected to the nose in the very center. Reminds of the famous Maya-2012 calendar somehow.

  2. I like your explanation. Kevin took a picture of the Plant one during his visit.

  3. Hmmmm, veddy intedesteeng. I went to the School of Visual arts way back in the late '70s. Also I wish I could find a photo somewhere online of its late, great founder, Silas Rhodes, in a B&W photo standing beside probably the largest taxidermed raven anyone has ever seen. Used to be in his office, perched atop a brass stand. He died two years ago in his home in Katonah, NY which boasts its own ghost-hunting group, the Katonah Paranormal Society. lotsa places up around there to explore, too, not the least of which is Magnetic Mine Road in not-that-far-away sleepy, little Croton-On-Hudson, long held to be a site of many paranormal sightings. Cheers!

    An auspicious 2010 to you again, James,
