Four years ago I was doing a comic futurist thing in ascii art. Number 5 was about the death of MJ. When he did finally die my phone exploded with a bunch of text msgs as people on both sides of the country fired up their cell phones to let me know he had passed on.

I had already fired off a message to a 4 people letting them know he was found not breathing and they had to do CPR on him and now he was in a coma. Within a few moments what started as a breaking news blip on NPR made for an memorable grocery shopping experience.
Can't wait to see the satellite image of the faithful gathered for the vigil, funeral or memorial.

In hunting for that ascii art bit I stumbled on a lot of other pieces I have done over the years. I need to do some more. Need to get some models first. I have some ideas but need to work in a different way than I was doing it. |
