Rebel Status: Giant Pandas

Yes, giant pandas. These guys relish in flipping Mother Nature off. Giant pandas are carnivores (meat eaters) but their diet is solely herbivorous (plant) consisting almost exclusively of bamboo. They freely choose to eat that stale-dry-nasty-jank bamboo instead of some sweet succulent meaty meat.

Pandas' digestive systems are still formed to that of a carnivore, this causes them to become derived of essential nutrition and protein. That's why whenever you see a panda at the zoo and he's just chilling there nodding off... he's (bamboo) sticking it to the man... and pooping on himself.

Rebel Status: America

America (of the North variety) is a nation of rebels, the founding fathers wanted it no other way. Breaking free from religious and philosophical oppression those powder wig-headed rebels high-tailed it out of crusty old man country (Britain) cruising off on their motorcycles with their middle fingers ablaze and created their own country.

Even the metric system just wasn't cool enough for America (even though it is the standard of measurement in EVERY other single country except for 2 other counties; Myanmar and Liberia). America excels in ethic diversity, religious tolerance, and prepackaged foodstuffs, the rest of the world watches in secret envy. Check out others who have achieved Rebel Status!

Triune

Triune is an abstract/cubist artwork I did in 2004, it's one of my favorites still to this day. Everyone seems to always ask me the same question, "what does it mean"? Well, I tell them, it represents all three wonders of life.

I'll break it down. The 1st figure represents all science in general which includes branches of math and cold clinical reasoning, 2nd represents the fervor of faith/religion and the reach for immortality, and the last represents the desperation of art and it's commercialized state.

Science/Logic (Left), Religion/Spirit (Center) & Art/Passion (Right).
