Thanks to Sally Egans' photographic efforts I just got news from Glen Branch that my painting is going to be on the cover of the National Center for Science Education magazine (NCSE). I've been a member with them ever since I saw Eugenie Scott talk on Darwin's birthday e few years back. NCSE has a constant battle against the Intelligent Design (Creationism w/ Aluminum siding) crowd which is attempting infiltrate our schools with what educated enlightened people call Bad science. Not in Our Classrooms: Why Intelligent Design Is Wrong for our Schools is a must read for those concerned about the corruption of science. It was written by a variety of different people including Rev Barry Lynn of People for the Separation of Church and State, Eugenie Scott and Glen Branch, and six other authors from scientific, political activist, educational and religious backgrounds.

She is a talented photographer and reliable.opening @ A shenere Velt Gallery I am in this show. I have 2 pieces included in show, 1. The Other Towers: Screen Print political image of W as a Cave Man denying evolution as his cohorts destroy and plunder everything, and 2. Darwin's Revelation, Oil on copper. Is a depiction of Sable the chimp in the foreground drawing in a magazine w/ an article on Nim Chimpsky (a victim of an experiment to see if she could learn sign language, named after famous linguist, philosopher, political and media critic Noam Chomsky) and Sable again in the background looking into a picture w/ the image of Darwin looking back. The underlying idea of this image is that anthropocentric notions of the world are unenlightened and antiquated, that it's time for us to wake up and that religious belief systems corrupt if not distort reality. It's "Seeing is Believing," not believing is seeing!A Shenere Velt Gallery presents R U Evolved?
