Me and My Unsafe Art

[tacowerewolf]

An online friend of mine that I met through my "Obama Taco Underwear" website and who has bought a bunch of my paintings over the past two years or so, sent me a link to this video. It's an excerpt from a documentary called "Painting in the Bright New Night" that his indie film director friend, Kon Pet Moon, is in the process of making. I guess

Thanks for watching it :=) Yeah, it's cool because I'm just sitting here in my wolf's den doing nothing and I get an email from someone who says, "Hey, man, you're in a movie we are making" and he gives me a link to this excerpt! LOL! Awesome! I didn't know that being a movie star could be so easy! The good thing is that I have a whole year to come up with a brand-new, sparkling pair of tightie-whities to wear to the Oscars! I think that's where I shall debut my CrEEpY SalSA UnDERwEAR! Talk about a red carpet that night! LOL!

[necrogrrl]

oh fuck yeah i hope you get a show!

[necrogrrl]

"All his paintings have at least uh, at least three elements: Barak Obama, tacos, and uh, clean underwear."

hes on the ball!

the interviewer sounds like Butthead from Beavis and Butthead sometimes though. hahahaha.

[tacowerewolf]

Hahaha, yeah, I cackled all the way through it, it was awesome :=) I especially liked when he talked about the epiphany I had when a "dollop" of salsa fell on my underwear while I was watching an Obama speech. LOL! He got all of that from a page on my website at http://otunderwear.com/about

That story is entirely true, though!

hehhe oh man

[necrogrrl]

i just finished watching it. that was awesome.. ahh.. :) are you excited about it? im excited for you! holy shit! :)

Re: hehhe oh man

[tacowerewolf]

Thanks for all your great comments, Necrogrrlie! Yeah, it's cool that they like my stuff enough to include me in their documentary. I don't really know much about the maker of the film, Kon Pet Moon, just that he's friends with Matt, the guy in the video above, so I'm not sure how well the film will be promoted once it's complete and how many people will actually end up watching it. I really don't know! It's a pretty small budget project, so I don't think it's going to make me anything close to famous or anything. LOL. At his point I just think it's cool that someone thinks enough of my work to include me in one of their films, and we'll see where it goes:=) Any type of exposure is good and much appreciated!

Re: hehhe oh man

[necrogrrl]

oh, i know its just a lil film, but its still pretty rad.. and in it he said he might be shopping you around to get a gallery showing or something? thats pretty cool too... hmm
if you look at Kon Pet Moons site: http://www.konpetmoon.com/konpetmoon2/HOME.html
you can see they screened at sundance film festival.

wouldnt it be rad if people saw your stuff at sundance film festival?? heehee!

anyway yeah.. i guess its best to just see how it goes :) its all cool :)

Re: hehhe oh man

[tacowerewolf]

Yeah, you're right about Sundance, and thanks for pointing that out! I went to his site the other day and didn't notice that. I just went back and took a closer look, and yeah, it looks like he has screened some of his stuff at Sundance and a few other film festivals. Awesome! It may actually turn out to be more than I initially imagined. Thanks! :=)

I was first drawn to you in your Spooky Flower period. This Taco Underwear aesthetic is still new to me, but congrats on this new notoriety!

[tacowerewolf]

Yes, Dicklash, you and I go all the way back to my "Spooky Flowers" days circa 1998-2000 or so, and though I honestly don't remember you from that far back, it only adds to your mystery and I'll take your word for it that we used to frolic together amongst all those scary 2-lips, dreadful dandelions, cursed chrysanthemums and rotten roses that grew so plentiful in the world back then before the TeRRoRiSTS came and chased us all out of our own spooky flower garden!

I realize it might still be hard to wrap your head around the Taco Werewolf thing, but I can only hope it is similar to those instances of "creeper weed" I experienced back in my younger days when I'd buy some weed off someone, smoke it, and it wouldn't get my high right away. I'd be all pissed and like, "Maaaan, this stuff isn't doing shit! That dude ripped me off!" then in a half hour or so it would kick in; everything would suddenly make sense and I'd be like, "WHOA, I'm fucking stoned! This stuff is great!"

It being Saturday, I am sans underwear, but I sure could use a taco. You, my friend, could be in for wild ride on this tAcO/weREwolF wave, with big Wall Street tycoons desperate to amass huge topical folk art collections.
You might have to build a factory, like Andy Warhol, to mass produce your vision of a world brimming with the best tacos and clean underwear.

Hahahaha! I see you caught that part of the video, too. Hee! That shit is funny.

Whenever I think of Andy Warhol I always think of Crispin Glover playing him in Oliver Stone's Doors movie where Andy/Crispin is on the phone at a party "talking to God" and he hands the phone to Jim Morrison/Val Kilmer and says, "Here, Jimmy, now you can talk to God." LOL, it's etched into my mind because I was in the Navy when I saw it at the theater and my buddy I watched it with would repeat that fucking line to me over and over, while pretending to hand me a phone or handing me an actual phone on the ship for the next 3 years and it drove me crazy. I mean it was funny but it wasn't that fucking funny!
