Mao with pants, bananas, and thoughts on Andy Warhol
After cutting out a black suede in the shape of a map of Vietnam to place as a shadow visible under the shirt, I decided that it would be necessary to create a pair of pants so the Nam Nuts shadow would not be visible during peace vigils and demonstrations against the Iraq sanctions or having another land war in Asia. I had some striped bellbottom trousers that I used as a model to determine how I should put stripes on the camouflage cloth I had picked to make Mao look a bit military, in case the bananas alone were not sufficient. My usual picture of bananas with Mao is posted on my homepage here, in the bottom left corner. I am glad that I have been able to post philosophical topics related to my pictures in a group at MySpace.com called hemlock for Socrates. For more pictures of me, try finding a group called:
akimbo in Pleiku
I kept Mao in a corner for years before I could put him on top of my piano.
Hiding behind a candle and a stereo speaker, few people who come to my place had any interest in trying to discover where the Mao was. Few people would be inspired to say anything equally as foolish.
