AKA Don Kenn. Found him while searching for Edward Gorey, I like his style, needed some inspiration for some illustrations of my own. He's amazing. Find a few of his illustrations below (drawn upon post-it notes), with links to more at the end...
Unfortunately, this is the kind of inspiration a first year art student gets by visiting the Louvre or National Gallery and laying down his/her brushes forever. This is impossible to compete with. And, is it just me, or do a few of his illustrations look positively Japanese?
If you like his work, (and he's very, very good), follow the links below:
The yellowish background, btw, is because he draws these on post-it notes. Yep.

Do these people not know what they're getting themselves into? Actually, clearly a lot of them don't, and therein lies the joy and spontaneity...
That said, there's a peculiar stoner-brilliance to his schtick...

Read the wiki on him - apparently he credits his success to Transcendental Meditation. Who would have guessed?

Finished season 1, took forever, only 3 episodes, but uncomfortable, edgy, good - excellent even, the future just left of the present.
Season 2, beginning, episode 1, about a woman who's husband/lover passes away, then discovers she's pregnant, and discovers a beta program that uses the sum of his online presence - videos, etc - to recreate a bot in his image...
I've thought of this ... a lot, a sort of digital afterworld, online Valhalla, Brooker has clearly thought it through...riveted...will his conclusions equal my own?
Back to the show...
***
In the end, not what I had imagined, but no worse, possibly better...

OK. Discovered this. He's Edgy. I mean by that too edgy for American media, but he seems to have a following in the UK. Which is fair, we've given the UK free reign to criticize the US. Think John Oliver. I like him, but really, if America is so fucked up, why are you here? Are things that much better where you came from? Care to tell us about it? Don't worry, I know...I know...

Addicted, searching all the sites for an episode as soon as one is released, there are always some if you look long enough, but you end up looking at a lot of shit. "Click on Link in the Description...."s, BS this, or you watch it surrounded by flowers, or flipped or overzoomed, painful, really, the steps people have to take to avoid takedown notices, The History Channel should merely post it online with commercials, monetize it themselves, someone there surely must understand the internet. In any event I found an overzoomed copy, painful, but it would do.
The news this week: The Sniper Leaves. This was the one I thought looked like Leonardo Di Caprio, but upon reflection decided more like Matt Damon.
4 people remain.
In this meantime...no word on the Anthropologist. She didn't appear this episode, and it bodes well for her future survival, all is well we can presume. Emphasis is given to those contestants who will be leaving. Larry continues with his Musophobia and kills (and eats) 2 mice, as well as some crabs. David, the Preacher, finds a buffet of crabs and is rejuvenated. Jose fixes and sails his Kayak, he's about to embark upon some adventures...
With the Sniper, he had the skills, was bored and fed by 11:00 Am. It was an existential crisis..."what am I doing out here..." sort of thing...
Other contestants have used this excuse, but with him, given his personality, training, philosophy, it didn't seem to be so much a cop-out. Merely a realization that he expected more of life, offered more, and, as I've stated before, this being alone, comfortable with yourself, it's not for everyone.
Meanwhile, I'm amazed at the tenacity of David & Larry, they both have hung on far longer than I would have expected, and as their characters develop I'm finding them more and more interesting...4 episodes to go.
