    Re: Check out my revolutionary new art

    My friend and I did did something along these lines back in '68. We filled his little red wagon halfway with water, took it in the garage and poured or sprayed every chemical in the cabinet into it. It was the coolest thing we ever saw. It was so cool we showed his Mom. She beat us both, and when my Dad got home from work I got another beating!

    I remember that because the beatings were severe. And the beatings were severe because what we did was dangerous and our folks were worried we might do something like that again.

    I never did it again!

    It might be Art but it's not revolutionary or new. And it's not very smart.

    One time my brother and I filled a bowl with baking powder (or soda, not sure) and then hid in the pantry while we poured vinegar in the bowl. It foamed up all over the place, and made a big mess, which we didn't clean up.

    We get yelled at when my mom found it. :}

    You crack me up Adina!!!

    I also agree that this "art" was done for shock value, and judging by the 500 plus "views" of this thread in a little over 24 hours, I would say you succeded in your goal.

    This one time, at band camp... Ok, it was in our garage when we were kids. My brother took a lighter, and a can of WD-40 and made a little flame thrower out of it. He proceded to light me on fire with it. Ah, the good ole days. It was just the WD-40 burning off the sleeve of my jacket, but it scared the crap out of me.

    Ah yes, the good ole WD-40 flamethrower. My brother and I discovered that when I was in Jr. High. Lets just say that some of my sister's Barbie dolls were a little flame broiled.

    Oh that rocks! Next time my kids are at school....

    When I was about 4, my brother (6) and my cousin (7) used to load up the Millenium Falcon (did I mangle that spelling) and shoot it out the attic window (3rd floor) because "it flies on TV". All the Star Wars guys were in body casts.

    LOL, Adina. I used to do all sorts of stuff like that when I was a kid. I lost so many GI Joes because I would make parachutes for them out of plastic bags.

    We discovered that screw in the back of those guys real quick. We had our own Franken-Joes.

    I know, it's taken a different direction.... BUT

    Picasso a hack? Well, let us know when your "original, revolutionary" art sells for millions...

    Looks like you surprised her, or caught her in the act of chewing on your camera equipment. A cutie.

    Troll

    Troll.

    We haven't had a good troll in a while, so this is fun. I can't every remember having one with such self-righteous delusions of grandeur, though. It seems like teenage self-discovery to me.

    EDIT: I was able to go back and veiw the photos. If this is the kind of art you feel you need to create, I would find a safer, environmentally friendly way to duplicate this effect without damaging our environment. I'm sure you could duplicate this look digitally with Photoshop.
    Michael, I don't think this moron knows how. I just hope his parents told him never to play with matches.

    Re: Check out my revolutionary new art

    I would just like to thank you all for your support of my art, with all of these submissions for the Environmental Photography award I am sure to win! And thats not the only good new, over the weekened a rather famous German photographer (who shall remain ananamous as i do not like to name drop) contacted me about purchasing the rights to my art and my site. I am happy to report that earlier today we reached an agreement by which he will retain all rights to my art and future gasoline art picture.

    Sadly this means that as of today the site will no longer be hosted by myself, but my benefactor assures me that he will have his own site up and running so with even more wonderful gasoline art

    Along with the hefty sum i recieved for the rights to this art and site, many of my photos will also be available for sale with some of his own work in a gallery yet to be anounced, so keep a look out and you might be lucky enough to own a Steve "Flair" Jones orginal.

    With this new found wealth i will be able to add a few new chapters to my novel God's Majesty in the Hunt, and find a suitable publisher, so look for it in book stores this spring or summer.

    Once again i would like to thank you, my fans, without whom none of this would be possible.

    You must think you are one funny guy. In all actuallty what you are is a waste of time and space. I don't know for sure if you actaully did what you have preported to have done, but if you have you should be lokced up and fined heavily. Personaly I think this is just a dumb sarcastic joke. Well I hpoe that you have got your adolescent thrills from it and you will now leave and not return.

    Damn you are insane.

    Re: Check out my revolutionary new art

    Sorry, Steve (if that is indeed your name), but a fan of you I'm not. And nor would I like to be mentioned at all next to some of your work. How can I be a fan of a photo that destorys the very environment we like to take photos of. >_>

    I'm in agreement with Almo, you are insane. Lock you up in the Looney bin! Send the man to Danvers! (and yes I know the place is being torn down....~_^)
