This body of work is dedicated to Beverly Hanna, who was an “Official U.S. Navy photographer” from the early 1940s to the late 1950s. The b/w photographs displayed on the wall were taken by her. I feel a kinship with her, we were/are both dedicated to capturing the beauty of an army, and, as the photograph of her person suggests, we are both children of the dragon empress.
.
This floating army is also a tribute to the man Jesus, who embodied and expounded upon the reality of the Cosmic Christ during his immaculate earthly incarnation. To be quite honest my artwork is always about Jesus. As an artist, but more importantly as a disciple of my own soul, it is my task to relate what it means to “pick up your cross and carry it” as a daily practice. The symbol of the cross is one of the oldest in existence. One of it’s representations is the marriage of matter (mother) & spirit (father) with us, as the sons of God, standing in the middle. And, as Jesus taught, through the power of the Cosmic Christ, we have the capacity to comprehend our origin and awaken to the significance of our role within this mystery called life.
These ships are representatives of an army of the divine, each is an altar, an object of meditation, who’s power can transform how we perceive the world and our place in it. They are made of toys and mundane objects for a reason. They are all soldiers for truth in the army of the dragon empress.

Dragonboy 56, 3/27/10, Chico CA
I met Jesus in person,
he was sitting at the Tin Roof Bakery eating a croissant, he says they have the best croissants in chico.
He was just there. I didn’t know who he was, I said hey, he said “hi”,
my names dragonboy, he smiled “i know”, he said
“Oh, have i met you before or something?”
“No” he said, “I’m Jesus”
“oh cool”, I said kind of laughing…” that’s a great name.”
“No” he said” I AM Jesus, the one who that book was written about.”
“hmmmmm”… I said suspiciously. “well alright…Your jesus”
do you have any words of wisdom jesus?

Today,
The day your eyes smile at the challenge of my calling
the day your heart pulses with the fire of my knowing.
I ask for your allegiance in the mission of remembrance
to wake and say thank you to those who carry you in dreams
to shed tears for the stars, the brilliant sparkling pieces of your expanding soul
To breath in the courage of she who’s strength gave birth to you.
Your light is mine
I long for you to see it
to live it

Only been once in ’10 but it is interesting to talk to vets and newbies alike and hear the different perspectives on growth. Evolution is important for people as well as events like BM and it’s always gonna change, i.e. evolve. It may be not exactly what you would like it to be or what it’s been, but rest assured it is exactly what the collective mass of burners make it. We are getting older while virgins get younger. Culture in both the default and playa world is changing, and there is no stopping it. Sure you can do things like what Paul Addis did, and he payed a hefty price, and that was HIS burn. In my opinion, costume elitism is obnoxious, some people just have never been into the whole “appearance” thing. I like the ideas I’ve seen and read about baiting bike thieves, accosting blatent moopers, and generally fucking with the obvious spectators. I see this kind of stuff as creating a new angle. Hell one of my first experiences out there was a beautiful nude woman named SeaMonster (sp?) in hysterics about a man driving a water truck driving too fast and killing her “Dog”. (one of her many animals in her campsite, probably thrown out in front of the truck) Well, a crowd started to form and we all followed her lead. The driver was getting visibly upset and just wanting to continue his work day, while some men were blocking his path and matching his bravado then some. Out of no where some people started medical care on the “Dog” (a stuffed horse), others were arguing with the man demanding he take the “dog” to medical. Wanting in on the action, but also attempting to diffuse a rapidly escalating situation, I pulled up to his window and demanded his license and registration. SeaMonster could have been killed because she layed down in the road in front him out of his line of site, tears running down her face, saying “Just kill me! End it all!” He started to drive and I came very close to having to act fast in making him stop. I’ve run off on a tangent here but my point is, that was performance art. That was serious too. That was a scene that I think didn’t “suck” and could only happen at burning man. But, who knows what the future will bring? Even some of the original burners sell stuff under the radar, and some of the newbies come correct too. I think the important thing is to have an open mind and heart, at least once you pass thru the gate. Hopefully it lasts a year.
