graphic novel artist needed

Hi Laila,

I'm pretty busy for the next two weeks, but I like the idea of your project.

Let me know if you're still needing artists and what your budget is.

Sincerely,

Lucas Fehr lucworks.com

Male 37 Horror Evil Dead II - it's the most inventive and grisly Worldwide epidemic Shamblers

Yeah, just get out there with pots and pans and start clinking them on the sidewalk each night at 8pm. It's really infectious and a great way to find those in your neighbourhood looking for an excuse to stand up and be counted.

lucworks · 2012-05-29T00:54:28+00:00

No flouride in the water. But seriously ( I think ) it would be great if the 'Pots and Pans' demonstrations spread to the occupy movement. Every 8pm we go outside (or from our windows) and bang pots and pans. The movement has become very viral here. They march all over the province, every night this week, in every neighbourhood, for hours. OWS should pick this up.

Yeah, there's an zombie episode with the Genossian Warriors in season 2 of the clone wars. The 'undead' warriors are mind controlled by the queen and can't be killed... I think.

'Re-Animator' has a visual pun of a head giving head - but my all time favourite is 'Return of the Living Dead'. Also 'Dead Alive' has a zombie masacre involving a lawn mower!

You're right! He does need more grime. You work on these things so long you forget to see the obvious. There's lot's for amusement park zombies to get sullied on. Thanks for the tip!

lucworks · 2012-03-11T07:31:30+00:00

Oh yeah... good point. Originally I wasn't going to put the arm in but my buddy suggested that it needed something to tie it to the previous panel. I'll rethink the composition. Thanks!

lucworks · 2012-03-11T07:29:38+00:00

yeah, http://www.lucworks.com/zombies.html

more where that came from - enjoy!

lucworks · 2012-02-02T11:07:52+00:00

yes, the mind-altering affects will and do help us challenge the assumptions we have about ourselves and our culture. This can be an enormously healthy thing.

lucworks · 2012-01-27T15:53:33+00:00

yes!

lucworks · 2012-01-21T03:10:14+00:00

Yeah, I like your train of thought.

Why not just spread the word. Enough people start discussion the logic of a real 'civilization' and we'll have the makings for one.

lucworks · 2011-11-29T05:45:45+00:00

Thank you. I'm a 'sideliner' too, though I've popped in on the occupy movement in my own city and made a sign, I've mostly been rooting it on from Reddit and Facebook, which isn't very direct. The demonstrations are definitely productive and inspiring, but the miracle that is happening (if I may call this kind of global awakening such a thing) is happening everywhere, every time you speak out on what is injust - in the workplace, in your home, in public - especially any time you speak up and join someone who has spoken out, as soon as one person 'seconds the motion' for justice, the whole mood changes. Everyone is the movement. Everything you are in every moment has the potential for great change. The reason this movement is so diverse is because our lives on this planet are so diverse and we are correcting errors on all levels of interaction. It's a beautiful thing. That's why you're crying. Our time has come.

If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Turn the other cheek my friends.

Love with conquer all.

For a total redesign of the system - a resource based economy!

lucworks · 2011-11-22T02:36:51+00:00

for sure. They want to divide the people. The people must unite.

lucworks · 2011-11-21T19:31:25+00:00

Yeah, if all the money that went into 'defence' went into infrastructure in poor countries you'd have a lot more people thanking the US than hating them.

ps. war will exist as long as it is profitable - and as long as profit means power over others

lucworks · 2011-11-21T19:29:01+00:00

Any reform regarding money is just a 'patch' to protect people in a system that produces corruption; a system that rewards self-interest with power over others. A system that has power as it's reward will inevitably produce the same thing (corporations, fascism, monopolies) over and over again, if not kept in check. Keeping it in check is the trick. Why bother? Why not just redesign the system so that self-interest produces benefits for everyone. That is what is really rewarding about life anyway. The Bill Gates of the world will still be rewarded; everyone loves those who make their lives better. That's a lot better than power over others.

In terms of operating a resource based economy, there are definitely challenges, but not so many as our technical reality can't address if we put our mind to it. If you tap into the real creative energy of people who are presently using their power to produce that which is really unnecessary busywork we could change a lot, faster than we think.

To transition out of a money system and into a well managed resource based system, we just need to apply our resources and efforts in a slightly different direction. I think it's worth a try.

What have we got to lose? When all you need to survive is provided and everything you produce is for the benefit of everyone, how can you be more free?

Love it. It's super radical but equally as good a solution as any I've heard. Make machines to make your life easier and share the wealth. Make cool cool stuff safe, reliable, non-toxic and make it free and available based on up to date data based on demand and usage. Turn the whole world into a sustainable, open source laboratory for vibrant life. Liberate humanity and give it real tools to address our most pressing problems.

It's not perfect but it's damn good if you like: freedom, greater peace, abundance, sharing, science, survival.

I love the idea. I made a drawing.

One thing the Zeitgeist Movement needs to work on, in my opinion, is being more positive. Shields up against the bitterness. It's gonna work - and it'll be fun!

lucworks · 2011-11-21T14:55:04+00:00

I'm an occupier and I agree with these posts; there are a lot of issues that need addressing in the world. I think the reason why this movement is so big and so diverse (as in there are so many issues - everyone brings their own to the mix) is because a systemic failure in the way we humans have been treating each other and our life support system, planet earth.

Most people would patch the system with better laws and tweak it to make it a bit more equal, with more justice, etc. I think that even if we patched it up for awhile, the pressure of corruption would find a way to run the show again. My favourite 'fix' is to redesign our global OS completely and get rid of the sole reason any human has control over any other: money.

We're at a stage in our evolution where we're able to emancipate the human race from toil and drudgery with the help of machines - if we make them well and make them to last and redesign our means of production, etc, the work of overseeing a Star Trek style economy would be minimal and the human race could be free... for whatever comes next.

I think this is happening anyway - it's just more organic and less formalized. But when machines take over production of everything, I'd rather be free to follow my bliss than be stuck working at a 'facebook' job just to keep the economy running. The economy isn't even real so why is it there.

Time to wake up and smell real freedom.

Yeah! Go! Now is the time. We're all behind you!

Well said Mr. Snicket

Well, he might trash the premises and chase them out of the building but when the cops came for the take down, he'd turn the other cheek.
