New Additions...

Proto-Semitics and Ritual Movement, is the newest addition to the gallery by Ron Maubidea. 

Distinct in figurative form, the Automatist Digital Sculpture is yet another extension of the artists continuing evolution in modern abstract concepts. 

Inspired by the earliest attestations of Proto-Semitic language (Akkadian and Eblaite, dating to the 23rd century BC), the image reflects the primitive movement of a ceremonial dancer.


In recent years, Egyptian researchers claim to have discovered earlier text in the form of "snake spells" that predate existing evidence by approximately 700 years. 

The find was dated between 2400 to 3000 BC.

Farmville: Subliminal Time Bomb or Cultural Blight

Description: A computer game where the player can build and manage his or her own farm with livestock.

Player Report: After countless hours of relentless aural bombardment, I have painfully concluded that the musical theme for Farmville was composed by a Transmanian expatriate / Cosmosexual-Serial Killer! 

Furthermore... the ever-popular Pattypan Squash has been tainted with an Agent Orange residue... The genetically altered Daffodils have a sterilizing pollen that is hazardous to Honey production and Bee populations respectively.

Re: Livestock & Critters

The rabid sheep and carnivorous baby-pink pigs are in actuality, four-legged Porn Stars and Suicide Bombers in training. The Chicken Coop is the neighborhood Crack House and the zombiesque Avatars are ex-80's (certifiably brain dead) Club Kids.


Although not scientifically based, my findings are the result of controlled, user observations and electronic monitoring... The occasional use of cattle prods was a clinical incentive provided by other video game manufacturers.


In conclusion: This application is curiously addictive and time consuming. The user will find that maintaining a virtual farm (as in real life), is not as easy task without the assistance of others.

For the young... there are clearly positive Life Lessons to be considered in the Farmville experience. 

For those of an adult age... the application is a reasonable substitute for intellectual masturbation. It can serve as a brief interlude when working long hours online or as a communication tool in lieu of a common language . . .

Posturing at Fashion Week...

The Garden series...

Pedestrian Reflections In Berlin... is an isolated corner of a much larger work which began in 2003. It is part of the "Alice in the Garden" series of three dimensional collage sculptures.

The series is an expanding collection of abstract expressions linked by a common theme.

Much like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson)... the art reflects the misadventures of a real life Alice, living on the streets of Manhattan's Lower East Side 1984-1990.

To be continued...
