Most of the power of painting comes through the manipulation of space... but I don't understand that.

Manipulation Got You Tripping
Lead me on then, tell me whatever you want me to know, yeah just tell it to me, I'll will absorb it, I'm so dumb I will remember it
Manipulation got you tripping
Oh for real, we going to do that and that and go here and there and be together forever
Manipulation got you tripping
Did all this and that, thought I was doing all the right things to make things straight for us Manipulation got you tripping
Dang for real, oh yeah, all this time this was only gonna lead to this and me feeling sick Manipulation got you tripping
Oh that was cold, got me here while you over there talking to him
Manipulation got you tripping
Alright, it is what it is then, I guess I ain't wanted here no more
Manipulation got you tripping Well yo gat damn, time to be the Nupe I am and wake up my fans
Manipulation got you slipping, cause now I'm dipping

It May Not Be In Good Taste
A manipulation of space...
Is performed with decisions made,
Who will or will not...
Occupy it,
With an influence to make.
It is like a game of marketing,
To sell a product to feed.
It may not be as nutritious as others,
But an attention given to it...
Is definitely guaranteed.
A manipulation of space...
Is performed with decisions made,
Who will or will not...
Occupy it,
With an influence to make.
The same is applied,
To those who supply what becomes demanded.
It may not be in good taste.
However...
A repetition solicits a need with no limits.
And it may not be what the people wish.
But if a rating is given to it...
Whatever it is will be on everyone's lips.
With an unresisted craving.

But, after all, the aim of art is to create space - space that is not compromised by decoration or illustration, space within which the subjects of painting can live.

For example, in painting the form arises from abstract elements of line and color, while in cinema the material concreteness of the image within the frame presents - as an element - the greatest difficulty in manipulation.

Now sucking harder then ever before

The brain is all space
boundless is space
so is this brain
take away its organics
you have a space
as boundless as space
pump in the organics
you get to experience
the power of space
and a transient piano
that affords a transcendental
tune of bewilderment
pain, joy, fun
until the brains trades
space for space
in all the darkness

It's not like I'm anti-China. I just think it's ridiculous that we allow them to do what they're doing to this country, with the manipulation of the currency, that you write about and understand, and all of the other things that they do.

Painting The Walls
painting the walls,
rolling over handprints,
cobwebs, and smoke stains....
over splashes of color,
over peels of time.
painting over the sounds
of voices whispering, laughing....
painting over tears hidden
from the world, from each other.
painting over running, and working,
working all day and half the night.
painting over children, and dreams,
folded like old clothes, and put away.
painting over notes from God,
that were often barely noticed...
painting over the nail that held
up the clock, hands moving slowly,
turning the seasons of living....
painting over the final words,
the last breath held in the hands,
of lives written in the grain....
the testimony of each feeling....
painting the walls,
and brushing the corners,
as if we never lived!

Paradise
So my absentism will prevail
over presence;
I will talk to you in space
between the moments
of autumn red
when nothing else was moving.
In classical pursuit, I straignten
the equation and we understand
the complexities of life, and agree to depart
unlooking at the moon, crossing
the river of silence, with no blueprints
on hands.
The random pain will eat the words
like a vanGogh painting.

h.a.a.r.p,
military ionosphere buster!
global vandalism...
change the weather...
earthquakes, tornadoes,
hurricanes....
mental manipulation!
crowd control...
cutting through the ionosphere
like a knife...
the power to change
the universe, both without,

the power to control....
men playing gods
wearing demonic shoes!

Youve Got It
This impossible power
A strength that I cant see
Theres no way
That I can let you go
Why did I mistake sex
For another sense
Then wanted someone else
To try to tell you no
I think you understand
Oh that youve got it
I try hard but I cant
Oh do without it
I think you understand
That youve got it
This impossible power
Has broken into me
And stolen all the sense
That I had before
Why did I just take
And never understand
The love youve given me
Couldve learnt me more
I think you understand
Oh that youve got it
I try hard but I cant
Oh do without it
I think you understand
That youve got it
What made you think
That Id be true to you
I needed to
Prove it to myself
That I could let you go
What made you think that
Id be a fool for you
You knew that I was lying
There was something
I was hiding
I think you understand
Oh that youve got it
Well I try hard but I cant
Oh do without it

The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.

Creation and The Creator
I don't understand so many things
But I do understand one thing
Clearly
That
There is God up there
And He is everywhere
And He is everything that exists
And
we are an insignificant
But
Inseparable part of God
And we are actually a little
Bit of saliva of God-particle
In side extremely big
But
Limited space
And space is mass having least density
And
From point of view of time
God is infinite
And
He is one
And
He is alive, intelligent and unique
And
Though
He is so-so
He is the best person!

Painting is the most magical of mediums. The transcendence is truly amazing to me every time I go to a museum and I see how somebody figured another way to rub colored dirt on a flat surface and make space where there is no space or make you think of a life experience.

2 Centimeters of Brain
As much as it could stupendously perceive; it had the
power to brutally devastate,
As much as it could magnanimously harbor; it had the
power to corrupt the most sagacious of truth,
As much as it could devotionally dedicate; it had the
power to conceive the most unprecedentedly lecherous
existing on this planet,
As much as it could intriguingly fantasize; it had the
power to parasitically drain out every iota of
glorious memory,
As much as it could magically evolve; it had the power
to swipe traces of blissful civilization; in
lightening fractions of seconds,
As much as it could fantastically tantalize; it had
the power to disastrously famish the most invincible;
for centuries immemorial,
As much as it could unfathomably grasp; it had the
power to diabolically relinquish; within a single wink
of an eye,
As much as it could reside in perpetual realms of
solitude; it had the power to fulminate more
treacherously than infinite volcano’s trapped beneath
the earth,
As much as it could disseminate the fragrance of
philanthropic mankind; it had the power to
diabolically crush the immaculately impeccable in the
swirl of its menacing manipulation,
As much as it could majestically accomplish; it had
the power to rampantly deteriorate well beneath the
rudiments of its roots,
As much as it could formidably heal; it had the power
to gruesomely exacerbate the tiniest of wounds; beyond
the corridors of infinite infinity,
As much as it could blossom into an island of
enchanting paradise; it had the power to insidiously
melt; transcending over boundaries of the most
obsolete oblivion,
As much as it could divinely meditate; it had the
power to indefatigably swim in torrential sea deluged
with preposterously ominous sharks,
As much as it could overwhelmingly pacify; it had the
power to trigger malicious fireballs of
discrimination; in religions bonding as united on this
earth,
As much as it could bask in the grandiloquent
splendor; it had the power to recede immortally into
its grave; even though it was animatedly alive,
As much as it could aristocratically relax; it had the
power to tumultuously inundate benevolent goodness;
with insane mad,
As much as it could ravishingly romance; it had the
power to sow the seeds of despairing betrayal; in
every heart it met,
As much as it could unbelievably dream; it had the
power to drown in cloudbursts of cacophonic
manipulation,
As much as it could unsurpassably exist; it had the
power to vanish like pathetic devil; before even the
winds could transgress in azure sky,
And as much as I called it my mind; believe me it had
the ubiquitous power to be anybody’s 2 centimeters of
brain; entrenched well within the skull and shivering
inside….

Modesty is high in view.
A painting free of cost;
A painting with a tag;
A painting not for sale;
The third soars high in view.

I needed an outlet in high school and came across painting. I've actually been painting longer than I've been acting. A movie is a collaborative effort, and with painting you just have yourself.

But when I worked on a painting I would do it from a drawing but I would put certain things I was fairly sure I wanted in the painting, and then collage on the painting with printed dots or painted paper or something before I really committed it.
