Weirdly’s World: Thank You & Good Night

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on April 13, 2015 Respond

Thank You & Good NightI have been blogging about Astro Monk for 8 months now and have come to a point where my other projects and work place needs are overtaking my world I just don’t have the time right now to keep a weekly blog going.

This was a new thing for me and I had a lot of fun writing WEIRDLY’s WORLD and working with Alex Paramo and Community Publishing was an honor. He really is a great promoter of the ARTS. We both work in theater thats where we met and found we had a common interest in the arts.

Next up for me I will be working on 4 graphic novels and a painting series called GUM and ROBOTS inspired by pulp magazine covers and WACKY PACKS bubble gum cards from the 70s. So as you can see I have alot on my plate.

Farewell but not Goodbye

I won’t say this is the end of my blogging days as Alex generously has given me a open invitation to come back sometime. If you have been reading ASTRO MONK you can still find him at his home weirdlycomics.com just without my commentary. Which could be good or bad depending… And with that I will say a very fond THANK YOU and GOOD NIGHT!

Weirdly’s World: Kings of Control

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on March 31, 2015 Respond

The image above depicts a classic situation here the disempowered going up against the controlling powers that be. The force of change vs the entrenched dagoma of the past. I’ve simplified this conflict to bring it into an extreme focus.

The Astro Monk series continues with GLOP and GUN at odds with the A.C.K BOT controlers’s methods of control. I think this kind of struggle is always with us. We always have the unreasonable controlling minority and the unreasonably controlled majority. Is it in our nature to accept a system like this? I don’t know but I hope not.

Exterior Forces

Kings of Control

In GLOP and GUNS situation they start out threatening violence for change. It will end on a more passive note as exterior circumstances force their situation to change. In a way I think this is more the way things go in reality.

Exterior changes in energy sources or technological advances force those in power out making way for new people of power to come in.

I have this fantasy or maybe it’s a germ or a story. But it goes like this, an idea is presented to the masses that is so compelling it convinces every one to stop working . Then the powers that be would take notice and could only ask… What is it that you want? What do we want? Perhaps we will get our chance to ask and receive an answer to this important question.

Weirdly’s World: Rage Against the Machine

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on March 23, 2015 Respond

By Dave Weirdly

Inside the Machine

Rage Against the MachineHere enters the brain’s behind the A.C.K BOTS it is the control the puppet master. This A.C.K BOT is loyal to it’s builder’s original plan. It has been awakened and knows it could do other things with it’s life but is more comfortable with what it is and really finds being awakened an annoyance.

The only thing it chooses to do beyond it’s programming is take up smoking. This was an affectation I gave it because it didn’t have any outward change that would illustrate that it now could make choices on it own.

Burn the Machine

I sometimes identify with the A.C.K BOT. I work in the money system that can gives me things that make me comfortable. In some ways it’s like being programmed . I think of other choices I could make for my life like going off grid or becoming a wanderer and selling wood carvings for food. Or getting some land and building a tiny house and farm it to sustain myself. I and or we do have other paths we can take to live our lives we don’t need to follow patterns. I think on this sometimes and as I get older I sometimes think of acting on it.

Weirdly’s World: the Chaos Window

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on February 9, 2015 Respond

The Chaos Window by Dave Weirdly

The Chaos WindowA new story is emerging in the ASTRO MONK saga. Involving a Thought Gel a Gun and a few A.C.K.Bots. This page is the start of that story. The AWAKENER finds a planet of abandoned buildings and inadvertently awakens a Gun and a Thought Gel which is a substance used in artificial intelligence in the ASTRO MONK universe.

This page is a favorite of mine when I look at it there is nothing I would change in it . It feels whole to me. It’s a rare thing when this happens. I remember the filmmaker Steven Spielberg once said that out of all the movies that he has made there is only one that he would not change a thing in. That movie was Raiders of the Lost Ark. The first of the Indiana Jones movies and one of my personal favorites of his. Feeling like you made a perfect thing just doesn’t happen a lot even to the most talented people.

Chaos

There is a lot of stuff that swirls around you and funnels in and out of you when you make something emotions ,influences, opinions (yourself and others) thoughts, stories how you feel that day utter chaos swirling around you till all those things converge into you and then pour out of you. It’s a birth. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose. But the most important thing is that you go ahead and look into that window of chaos and open it.

Weirdly’s World: the Un-Relationship

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on January 26, 2015 Respond

The Un-Relationship by Dave Weirdly

wwIn this weeks ASTRO MONK page we have the AWAKENER utterly despondent over the lost friendship of the robot it has awakened.

The AWAKENER has lost possibilities. Like being saved from loneliness and the hope of a new freind. I think sometimes when we lose a new friend especially one we haven’t built much history with there is sometimes a kind of fiction that occurs around that person. Our minds build stories quickly when in need or want . The AWAKENER is very
much in this place now. Not really missing the physical friend but missing the idea of having a friend. Also creeping feelings of loneliness and eventual insanity through isolation after being exiled into deep space doesn’t help ethier.

Relationship on the Horizon

But soon very soon the next page really new possibilities will make their way to the AWAKENER.
