"CLIMATE CHANGE"

OBAMA is emblematic of the real “CLIMATE CHANGE”
on planet Earth. His Presidential candidacy is evidence that even we are conscious of positive social and political change around the globe.
Like—DUH!—THE WORLD has really got us surrounded.
And, for the first time, THE REST OF THE WORLD KNOWS IT AND IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Remember the post 9-11 question, “Why do they hate us?”
Everyone now knows the answer: DUBYA and his big Dick Cheney—
set-trippin in the Middle East to the tune of, “What’s Their Land Doin On Our Oil?” Yes, it’s taken us too long to do something about their crimes against the environment and humanity, but in his creepy way DUBYA did us one solid:
He unified the rest of the WORLD against him.
Dubya could lie his way into, but not out of Iraq. There was absolutely no way to cover-up NOTHING, which was exactly what he did for U.S. citizens who lost everything after Hurricane Katrina wiped out ¼ of the country. Oil prices and his buddies’ oil companies' record profits are a pornographic fireworks display of global corporate greed. Fuck them.
For O.G.’s (Old Guys) like myself, who were around back in the day, this knowledge plus OBAMA could be something of a 2nd chance to make changes in a political system that’s been captured by giant corporate interests. Yes, we can insist that our Federal government take responsibility for oversight of the economy, before there's no economy left.
We can also un-elect (that's a technical term) public officials who are ignoring the Health, Education and Welfare of regular people!
You know, the Federal government's massive budget is our $$$$. What’s it spending our money on? What do you mean? NOT US! ? What’s its job anyway?
The world wide web has done wonders for international-interpersonal democracy. Humans are virtually closer to each other than we’ve ever been. We’re talking to each other and, hopefully, listening. (I just heard that OBAMA sank a pressure three-pointer in front of our troops in Kuwait. He got word and he got game.)
Now when I hear the phrase, “Intelligent Design,” I don’t hear its misuse as a control freak’s anti-science slogan. I hear its other hopeful meaning, OBAMA.
TAKE BACK THE WORD—RE-JOIN THE WORLD.

WATCHING WAITING & DREAMING FOR OBAMA!

Yo BUNNIES!

I can't believe I'm baaaaaack (from the Dubya Gang's "Dance of Death", I guess. His Apocalypso Tango almost did us all in.. and it ain't over when it's over). Happily, I hope, we've got some new stuff fo ya and some truly crazy happenings just around the bendin' end.

1. OBAMA— a verrrry limited edition of prints and some of my stash of artist's proofs, at an easy size 20"x14." This is to get us all revved up--with some of the $ going to Obama's campaign and the rest to our guerrilla war chest...you know, round about midnight, before the election...hmmm.

2. Peeps have been chirping about a smaller, nifty version of the WATCHING WAITING DREAMING triptych--like, w/all three of our guys on one sheet. Well, IT'S HERE! We just fired up a special edition of 20. Each is 10 inches high by 20 inches. Back in the day, I'd have called this our "New York Apartment Special". Can't fit three big silk screens on your 300 year old brick wall? Here's the nano version to hang near your work station or give to a friend who could use a toke, some positive inspiration.

3. A "Save The Date" quickie: I'm having a big exhibit of more than 100 original paintings & drawings at Track 16 Gallery in Santa Monica. Opening party is Saturday, Oct.18th, 2008, 6pm-10pm, Live band, free booze, munchies and too much art. We're gathering original paintings from everywhere--the first time they've all been in the same place at the same time--plus 7 big DECADE paintings, and even stuff that isn't just about nasty old politics. Please save the date! You're all welcome. Bring any and everyone. It's free, of course.

For more info : TRACK 16 Gallery: 310-264-4678, email: reception@track16.com, website: www.track16.com

Thanks soooo much for putting up with this, bunnyhugz from all the bunnies in the machine,

First 2008 Postering!!!

Robbie Conal's First 2008
GUERRILLA POSTERING NIGHT: FEB, 29th

(Finally!)

The bunnies are ready to hit the streets and put up a nasty new,
double-sided, no more Mr. Nice Guy, DUBYA poster:
“EMISSION ACCOMPLISHED”
One side is “COMING”, the other “GOING”.

New location*, thanks to our great pals, The Actors Gang
when: Friday, Feb, 29th—Leap Day! @10:30PM
where: Ivy Sub-Station, 9070 Culver Blvd, LA 90232
(*Venice Blvd at Culver Blvd–parking in Trader Joe’s structure across the street.)

Robbie will give his “Guerrilla Etiquette” talk and flash the poster around the building, maybe do a demo of postering technique for newbies.
(Hey, come early and see the Gang’s wicked satire of televangelism: “Carnage”, beginning at 8pm.
More info at http://www.theactorsgang.com/).

The National Lawyers Guild will be in the house to prep us on our legal rights and help anyone who develops point of enforcement issues in the line of duty. Before midnight we hand out the goods to our teams: each team of 2-4 peeps gets a roll of about 30 posters, a bucket of glue and brush. (Please keep one for yourself and go do your thing wherever you desire).

GET UP AND STAY UP!
Thank you so much for your help!

Happy Holidaze!

Hi All Bunnies Everywhere:

Happy Holidaze! We’ve been busy, happily expressing our gratitude to all the lovely people who’ve contributed to our guerrilla “projects”, over the last year—You know, just saying “Thanks.” And making some new stuff.

Here it is—on sale for the very first time. A NEW “Darth Condi" print with Darth Vader helmet, red light saber and Condi's custom “W-M-D” bling in place. (Plus a bonus gold tooth!) “COPY BRAT”, limited edition, glitter & pearlesent color silk screen, is a brand new portrait of Andy Warhol, the patron saint of arty consumerism. Here's something we're really proud of: new T-shirts we designed for the awesomely inspiring LA band, OZOMATLI. (On sale at www.ozomatli.com).

And my real true love: CATS! (No, not the musical. Yes, Virginia, I draw cats). We’ve got a soulful trio of cat prints or maybe that’s a printed trio of soulful cats? Please check’em out. We only made 5 of each. Get 'em while they last.

Oh, yes . . . A NEW double-sided, and hopefully very last Dubya poster is oozing toward the presses as I type. A New Year’s Resolution kind of thing, I promise to slap Dubya up-side the headquarters of the presidential campaign office nearest you . . . (Of course, you’re welcome to join us—to receive postering bulletins just type your email address into the “join my list” slot on the homepage). See you in 2008!

Thank you all!

New Gandhi Glitter Silk Screen


Yo Bunnies!

It’s been forever--maybe longer--but I'm back...with a new Gandhi glitter silk screen, still, "WATCHING". Now, for a limited time, in a limited edition, we've got all three of the good guys in their own glitter prints: the G Man, Dalai Lama and MLK.
Hard Pressed Studios did a great job, as usual, on the color blends and the sparkles...take a look!

Not that we've gone, like, totally soft: a final Dubya poster is almost done and it's got a “No More Mr. Nice Guy” vibe about it. He's a skeleton (with a gooey face) doing something nasty. When Punxsutawney Bill gets done with the graphics (and the gummy worm), we'll get'em hot off the press and hit the streets. Dumb Dub’ll be squirming on a street corner near you by end of September/early October. Boom Boom is so feelin it, she’s already into her guerrilla wrangling mode. So check out the box next to this post, if you got ants in your pants and just gotta dance. La Boom’ll, uh, keep you posted.

Yo Mah Bunnies!

Maybe I shouldn’t be so possessive---it’s been way too long since I wrote (or did) anything worthy of you.
But the bunnies in the machine have some new shtuff fo ya:
A shizzled-up Gandhi t-shirt, produced by The Original Lefty’s on beautiful cotton (NOT on American Apparel)... www.theoriginalleftys.com.  
The Debster and Anne Kelly worked overtime to make it good looking (ahhh, if we could only live up to the man) quality shtuff...once again, one of the only positive images I’ve ever done.

Oh, I did have an actual gallery show of original drawings—skeletons––at Track 16 Gallery, in Santa Monica last October. You can see’em on the web here. If you’re into the National Pastime (Baseball, that is—not dumb-ass permanent war on the rest of the world), we’ve got 3 left of an edition of 6 Skeleton Pitchers, “A Little Chin Music”.....yes, the skellie’s grilled out nicely!

ArtScene Visual Radio did their first web radio interview with me: Peter Clothier and I chatted about something real that I don’t usually get to talk about: process. Why skeletons? Why baseball skeletons? How do I make’m? Here’s the short answer: I don’t know. Basically, I banged my head against a brick wall for 3 months...that’s technique!
If you’re still with me here, please check out the interview...it’s one of the best anybody’s done with me. Not the usual RobSMACK. Just go do something meaningful for the first 5 minutes or so, you’ll skip the self-aggrandizing yakkity-smackkity.

I got a lil show goin on at Crossroads School in Santa Monica—a bunch of original ahhht—never before seen by humans: opening party: 2-15-07—closing: 3-21-07
Tricky Dick never looked so good. The Supreme Court never looked so BIG. For info: 310 329-7391 and gallery hours: M-F 1pm-3pm.

I’m hoping we’ll have a new poster ready around Easter...yes, it’s almost BUNNY TIME! The verrry last Dubya poster I’ll ever have to do (I hope).
I promise I’ll write more often.
Bunnyhugz, Robbie

Yo Almost Naked Bunnies!
I’m having a little show of new drawings in a real art gallery and everything. Fancy-shmantzy. But FREE! Music, booze, little bits of used food (it’s the CHEESE), you know what I’m tawkin about! The art is all skeletons, all the time. Bush administration thugs doin’ their dance of death. Buns, here’s your chance to catch Dubya and Condi in the act: doing a bone rattling Tango (she’s leading).
Let’s party! Bring your crewest! (Everybody) Even the Debster’s excited. She’s out lookin’ for a giant skull piñata this very minute. Already got her Louisville Slugger.
Please join us on Thursday, October 26th, 2006, from 7 to 10PM for the opening celebration of Apocalypso Facto at Track 16 Gallery, Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Avenue, C1 in Santa Monica.
