Gods New Navy @ the RAYRAY gallery DEC 2011
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.

THANK YOU JESUS
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?
"yeah", he said, "i do, you should tell everyone they are rad"
"OMG jesus i said laughing, this is ridiculous"
"I'm serious" he said
"that's awesome jesus, thanks"
so, from the son of man himself here it is, You're rad.
then he said "hey i just wrote a poem do you want to hear it?"
"Hell yeah Jesus, i mean, ahh, sure..."
"it's all good dragon", he said
then he read me this poem
"You, are a paraglider for the grand duchess of DOOM
whether you like it or not.
Whether you like it or not,
your day dreams
are not dreams at all.
Whether you like it or not,
your tongue is a bloodied two edged battle axe
and as much as you'd like to clean the blade
you swing it so much and so flagrantly, that you never get the chance.
BUT.
There is hope,
for
at the bottom of your tongue
deep in the well of your eternal watering hole
there is a golden malleable unicorn horn,
and it's specifically engineered to absorb any attackers blow
and
in fact,
when properly and fully activated
your battle axe becomes a rainbow bright butterfly blanky
which wraps around
and caressingly and lovingly cuddles everything in it's path.
It's pretty rad.
you should try it."
so, you can imagine my reaction, after hearing thissssssss... poem
directly from the son of man. a modern parable why not?
all i could say was "wow, thanks, thanks jesus
I'll try and remember that ".
Thank You dragonboy
and
THANK YOU JESUS
