Ok, I've watched this film hundred times but whenever I look at your thread I feel the urge to watch it again and again and again it's a classic movie and your portraiture skills certainly makes it justice.

Hi Steve,

Yeah, but what do the Electric Sheep dream of? Does anybody ever ask about them? Do artists ever consider that they're Replicants too, ya know. . . even if they're not Nexus 6.

Have you ever gotten into Philip Glass' music, where he really exploits and repeats iterative notes and passages. It's conceptual.
Naqoyqatsi is one of the movies, where his music is fast, but he did some slower pieces as well.

Sounds like the film sorta gets into the swing of the Replication concept, and becoming a paradigm unto itself. And the repetitive nature is both the form and the message. The following is just flat out cool. Not trying to compare it with your paintings. It's all about the idea and the world that might be likely to spawn such things. Enjoy the ride. I particularly like the bit starting at around 30:10 and going on from there for a spell.

I mean this is a far cry from Andrew Loomis, but conceptually it is a form that can be connected to Philip K Dick's ideas, cyber punk and variations thereof. . . not to mention screensavers. The danger lies in it getting like eating too much candy, and it's a little mind numbing. But it's cool. I used to putter with fractals and had some fascinating evenings late at night in the early 90s in front of my computer creating some incredible designs effortlessly, waiting and waiting for the renderings to finish and then zooming in and zooming in to seeming worlds within worlds.

Hello DA,
Never thought about that...I guess sleep isn't in their programming, merely algorithms keeping Them happily grazing upon synthetic pastures, chomping away in their "simulated contentment"...
Philip Glass, been awhile...remembering some very trippy music though, some of his work makes me think of and imagine what 'Machines building machines' would sound like...or the processes of the birth of worlds and life on those worlds slowly evolving over time.....reoccurring dreams of unknown entities surrounding you, multiplying and getting larger as they do, larger and larger, more and more entities suffocating you until you are forced to consciousness by the triggering of primordial instincts watching over you and protecting you...I don't know, maybe it was just the sheep?
Speaking of trippy....thanks for the 'Electric Sheep' link, saved it and will add my own music to it....like 'Simon Says'.

Like dreams, you try to remember them by writing them done or painting them....unless they're recurring.

Well I went to ER after falling from the longboard (nothing broken thanks to God), I tried some pastels but in order to achieve some level of details you have to go really big, they are not sharp as painting is and they are very messy (I had dust and powder even in my ears ) so it was a big no-no. Maybe I will try the acrylics in the future but right now I'm a little tired and I will go back to artrage as soon as my wrist get better. Hope you will sort out your health issues soon. This time I'm sure everything will go as it is supposed to. Take care friend. Say hello to Rachael

Very beautiful close up Steve. The detail is amazing.
