new year oddities

i drew this on white paper, that was lying flat on a tv tray while i was sitting down on a sofa (w/ my feet up [opposed to someone else's feet up]) watching television (mostly with my ears). my kids don't clean up after themselves very well (neither do i, according to the other parent who just happens to reside in the exact same living quarters as both myself and the kidlings); there were tons of felt markers scattered around the (carpeted) wreck-room floor, (you guessed it) in the basement. the actual size of this drawing is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"; highlights were added with one of those stubby blue pentel brand fine point correction pens (multi-purpose / quick dry). thanks for stopping by my blog and looking at my strange but true artwork and reading my extremely exciting life stories. *sigh* have a nice day.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2008

i am everyday sheeple

'i am everyday sheeple' ©2008 GregOakes.com

the month of november 2008
a strange one indeed
i watch the sheeple
consume out of want
not conscious enough
out of need
it's a master design
a marketing marvel
they get you where it counts
thin air produces money
which is anything but funny
as keeping up with the joneses mounts!

i hate the suppression of truth

all of these years
before i was blinded
i translated
blocks of thought
whatever that means
to you my dear
take it or let it rot
it's far too heavy
for you to digest
so please don't
strain yourself
it's hard enough
for me to process
so WE are here
to help

Green tea from China found to be contaminated with alarming levels of pesticides "...you should consider sourcing your green tea from somewhere other than China. Get it from an organic source, some place that doesn't spray it with pesticides. It's more expensive, of course, but it's also safer for your health."

BEASTS! Book 2 - Ogopogo

This was my submission for Fantagraphic's BEASTS! Book 2 (open call) . There was only room for one piece of art; unfortunately mine didn't make the cut, along with a couple hundred others. Fortunately not all hope was lost; someone had the idea to set up a gallery for those who suffered the same fate as I did. ;) Check it out... HOPEFUL BEASTS ! Please continue to enjoy my 'Ogopogo'!! ~go
