Lots of people are getting tagged with this. My friend and fellow deviant; Blades 123 posted 10 very fun questions after he got tagged, and then had the foresight to let everyone who wished to respond.

I enjoyed answering his questions quite a lot, so I figured I'd come up with 10 questions of my own and see who's still following my page. Thoughtful answers get extra credit.

There will be a test afterwards so pay attention!



1:  What song, or style of music, do you secretly listen to when no one is around, that would mortify you if people found out?

2:  Are you really that big of a trekkie, or do you just google the proper references because everyone on DA seems to be a major trekkie, and you want to fit in?

3:  If you were a car, what kind of car would you be and why? Give make and model, please.

4:  Was this the best season of DWTS or what?

5:  If you had to pick 5 books to save, and all other books would be destroyed forever, what 5 would you choose?

6:  What is your favorite historical period? This can be a time, an era, or a region in time, such as "Ancient Egypt", or a people, such as "The ancient Romans". Explain your answer.

7:  What is the answer to the question of Life, the universe, and everything?

8:  Name the three artists you feel have had the greatest direct influence on your art.

9:  Freud or Jung?

10:  Can I have a llama please?


My answers, for those who are curious....


1,    I'd say old school country, but I'm actually pretty okay with that. I guess, as a hard core rocker, I'd rather not admit to really liking Celine Dion.
2,    I'm a sick, freakish, idic loving, weird finger sign making, dialogue quoting, model building, seen every episode of every series and every movie (several times at least), proud TREKKIE!
3,    1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 with a Hurst Slap Stick transmission. Bronze Metallic with a creamy white vinyl top and white racing stripes. All black leather interior, Captain's seats. Center shifter, of course. Mag wheels and 60's all around, raised white letter tires. An absolute bad ass of a rock and roll car.
4,    No doubt!
5,    Just doing this would kill my soul. I'd do it if I had to, in order to save 5 books, but I would hate it worse than just about anything. 1, The Lord Of The Rings (the trilogy counts as one story in my mind). 2, Dune, by Frank Herbert. 3, Ender's Game, by Orson Scott card. 4, The Collected Works of William Shakespeare. 5, Crime And Punishment, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
6,    Probably medieval Europe. Pre-Arthurian era. Between Celts, Moors, Druids and what have you, a hard fighting, mysterious time to live in for sure.
7,    42, of course.
8,    Michael Whelan, Frank Frazetta, and Boris Vallejo.
9,    Jung. The sex is better.
10,  Is it even possible to give yourself a llama???

I'm a fan, bro. I'm not rabid or anything, but I like your work, have enjoyed following your progression, and want to offer what little support I can. I know you do this mostly for shits and giggles, but you have more skill than you give yourself credit for. I honestly believe if you wanted to make a statement, you have it in you to do so.

So, cheers... you keep cutting them, and I'll keep fav'ing them...:)

Rob in the past you have posted some great things in the news forums, a few I downloaded and shard with students, your a great thinker and no one fucks with you or of they try you reroute their sphincter , i love that. Is there a way i can get these or are the lost in the white underbelly DA news forums for evermore?

I spent some time after reading this investigating the current structure of DA. I found it amazing, considering the fact that, on the surface, it still looks similar to the way it did say, 3 or 4 years ago, how much has changed, and how much is gone.

There was an entire area where articles and editorials were located, which I can no longer find. I don't know if the information is archived, but if it is, it is no longer accessible from the online site. You'd have to somehow contact DA, and then they'd have to care enough to bother to give you access to the archived database, assuming they didn't just delete the information/files as they modernized the site. I suspect, Armin, that when they decided the entire section was no longer to be used on the site, they also decided that the information, articles, and opinions it contained were no longer worth keeping.

I swear to you that it is relationships like I have with you that provide the sole remaining reason for me to be a member of this site.

Rob i know at time you get down on the path that DA has been traveling but it people like you that keeps it a shining diamond in the first place. When i first read you writings and really more "challenges" i was immediately aware "yeah that's what DA is all about" opening people eyes from a ghost in the machine, you didn't go ape shit when people disagreed actually calmly set them straight with cutting wit disguising age old wisdom. Im here for the same reasons to fly the flag of traditional art, and give young people encouragement and kick them in the ass if they think they don't need a work ethic, passion and original concepts.

i have used a great deal of what i do have from you for classes and apart form all that stuff i just look up to you on what and artists should be. keep making art, and keep challenging all of us....................
