Coming Unhinged at the Erni Bar Fanshop

[DKeys]

I received this ecclectic package from the Off Scene Akademie. It appears some of Erni's fans are becoming over-zealous and unbalanced. The unique combination of art study and Buddhist Philosophy has some people calling their own sanity into question. They're confusing cult worship of Erni, with true love of self and God. Erni steers them back in the right direction in his usual loving way, all the while providing cappucino and chocolate to ease their pain. Erni has included the Four Noble Truths-the precepts of Buddhism along with sage advice not to fear Teletubbies. That will take a lot of personal growth work and meditation to accomplish. But he tells me to listen. Erni gave a powerful speech in the school auditorium in which he recited the "Urban Exploration Pedestrian Speech Act". He called us all to feed our art to the people. I learned the hard way that he meant this metaphorically and not literally. The meat of the package is the collage inside. This is my first large piece from Erni. In my altered state of consciousness after Erni's teachings, I was shocked back into reality with the hairy boobs birthing a baby picture. Is he suggesting rebirth? The boob-fold path? The end is near? I don't know. Maybe Erni will explain. The piece is called SeifenBar, Seifen being a place in Hamburg. I hope the fanshop comes calling again. Thanks Erni.

That it's a hairy butt with a bra was not immediately evident. definately made me look twice. I love that you found the fanshop piece. I definately had lots of fun with this. I always know it's something larger than the mailbox because the postman knocks once on the door to let me know. I really hesitated to open it for the longest time pouring over the 4 noble truths, which I am a complete believer in. Suffering comes from our expectations instead of accepting everything as perfect the way it is. Hard to do!! Having no expectations so you are never disappointed can sound cynical too, but the challenge of being complete within yourself and therefore not expecting anyone or anything to 'complete' you in very empowering. Thanks again Erni. :)
