An Outsider Artist’s Plan
At the start of Covid and towards the end of my PsyOp mentorship with Boone Cutler, I put a theoretical plan of action together to reclaim the art world from the creepy, nihilistic, CIA-funded postmodern cons and useful idiots. My plan is to aesthetically defend flourishing and innovative humanistic art on intellectual, perceptual, psychological, moral grounds, and in practice.
I was the right person, possibly the only person, to have the aesthetic toolset for such a project. The only element that I cannot supply is a contemporary Lorenzo de Medici, a multi-billionaire with a flourishing humanist vision.
I bring over 50 years of innovative and holistic art to the project which is the ultimate in supporting art theory, philosophy, criticism, education, and shows.
This Covid project, consists of my following books:
Evolution Through Art: The Integrator of the Human Spirit. A positive PsyOp on art history, from the cave painters to today’s innovative wonderful contemporary figurative artists. (2021)
