Well, at long last, after a year long delay...

..."Die Happy & Other Songs About Life," by my band Green Sparkle Frog, is finally released.

There is an audio player at our web site with full versions of all of the songs on the CD.

The CD is available on our site, at CDBaby.com, and CDUniverse.com, while digital downloads are available at Apple iTunes, Amazon, and twenty or so other sites on the web.

We're working on the followup, "The Ghosts of Eden," which we hope to have completed by the end of September 2013.

Test piece, based on a photo of Marcel Duchamp...

TITLE: DUCHAMP

MEDIA: "3-D" laser etched wood panel, hand painted with wood stains and enamels, in a gold leafed and enameled frame.

IMAGE AREA: 4" x 4", with frame, 5 1/16" x 5 1/16".

DETAILED DESCRIPTION: Custom framed mini-portrait - a hand painted, laser etched wood panel, from a specially rendered digital art re-interpretation
of the iconic photograph (by Kay Bell Reynal), of Marcel Duchamp playing chess.

This piece was made as a non-inclusive prototype to represent the concept of a series of laser etched, hand painted mini portraits of various historical figures, based on original artwork submitted by various artists.

So, the "jury" on this thread in GD: "Malkin on Akin" by H2O Man...

...voted 4 to 2 to HIDE THE THREAD?!

Seriously, I thought the level of intelligence was a little higher here at DU.

4 on the the jury voted to HIDE an OP which was an original work of the Poster.

Stupid decision, made by seriously satire-challenged nitwits.

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Aug 22, 2012, 11:08 AM, and the Jury voted 4-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: I agree with alerter.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: Alerted for: The person who sent the alert wrote: "Poster has not given actual link and has posted far above the limit for copyrighted material."
The link doesn't go to the interview and may well be over the limit for material posted. I suggest correcting these two things.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Complaint is correct, but A quick google search )in general, and within michellemalkin.com) shows that this post is a complete fabrication. (possibly email chain letter sort of thing). Not appropriate for our site
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I do not think that DU needs to worry about Copyright infringement, since the post is satire, written by the poster, so he owns the Copyright. Come on, Alerter, it's not that difficult to discern that this is satire.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: Interview should be abbreviated, and linked.
