Wow, there is my damn Jeepin' bud, finally. Cool. Thank you sir for posting those images and I remember doing those. I do love the bttom one. I am rocking out to Beck, "Loser", which is more than fitting for Conservative. Love it.

Ok, my friend, when are you coming out this way to see me here? Would lvoe to traffic in both Jeeps down to the border. Can you speak Spanish, sir. I am bilingual and it helps for crossing when I head home.

What has been going on and where did you locate the painting with the maiden looking upwards there?

All the best and glad you are here.

No Jeeps for me thanks... Im a Toyota guy

There is no way in Hell I am taking my 4Runner to the border... at least not crossing into Mejico. I have some friends on ajeepear.com that live in Mexico and they dont even advise I come there -not now at least -
But I would love to swing thru New Mexico and go wheeling sometime. In fact a friend is in Farmington at this moment.
Sometimes things go wrong though

Love the Jeep and especially trailer... I want to get one in the near future.
What year is the Jeep?

As for the paintings... google searched them. Great work if I must say so myself.
I love NASA, and did work at JSC in Houston as a subcontractor and loved every minute of it.
Ive been in mission control and got to be there when they woke up the astronauts to a Beatles song... so cool!




All this BS and posturing going on is funny though....

Moon and Stars Align for Performance Artist (washingtonpost.com)

I do know Laurie Anderson was the first in something:

Performance artist Laurie Anderson thought the phone call was a prank.

How would you like to be NASA's artist-in-residence?

and I also knew about the NASA art program:

NASA began its art program in 1963 but never before had it tapped a resident artist, nor had it pushed the aesthetic envelope so boldly by choosing a performer whose large-scale theatrical productions blended "Star Trek" and Melville. Anderson is no Faith Hill.

who first proposed an artist in space, and what makes a proposal credible? Maybe Jules Vern proposed sending his art director in space? No way to possibly prove the statement true, but many possibilities to express statement as ridiculous without a narrower focus. Such a broad and open ended statement is the kind made here all the time.

and then who are you? who is anyone here on an anonymous message board?

ciao

The first administrator to promote and institute the NASA
Art Program, was James Webb. He felt that the ages of discovery over time have always been documented by artists.

So, the NASA Art Program began.

When I cam along it was under the directorship of Bob Schulman (deceased). We became friends and so we worked hand in hand and why I ended up with so many art assignments on Shuttle program for documentation. By then I was working as a contractor for NASA on shuttle, working for General Dynamics, Pratt and Whitney, and Rocketdyne, all contracting.

Again, Bob Schulman was the promoter for the "Artist in Space" project and I was picked for the possible trip. Loved it.

It all ended on Jan 28th, 1986, with the destruction of Challenger. And too, as an aside, I had been dating Astronaut Judith Resnik, who died on Challenger.

Other than losing my wife, that was the hardest issue so far. One minute triumph, right at "Challenger, Go For Throttle Up!", at T+73 seconds, then a fireball of unimaginable results.

But, in life, things fall down. Every once upon a time....

Hope that is helpful.

artist is space project? if it never got off the ground, then it never existed except as an idea -- which would equal no candidates for a project that never existed.

maybe you were a maybe candidate for a maybe project that might have interested some people as a concept.

hey, bill yourself as a conceptual space shot

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Well, so far we're not doing any good. Somebody, very close on target, got it on the "NASA-Artist, but no one ever went to the source, NASA itself, and it would have been a quick search and one click, and there it is, right n the NASA site itself.

The point; if we are going to discuss topics of our lives, thre is a probabilty they are correct. Its called discernment. But its all been fun.

Now, "I was a candidate to be the first artist in space". Wonder how this will go.

Thank you for the indulgence.

Robert

I posted the NASA Artist source, and there was no need to post a link to what doesn't exist

 

[Conservative]

Brag? Really? Because on this nit wit mindless board, I have been assailed of everything i have done over 40 years. See how you would take it. I am quite porud of what I hae accomplised in 40 years since HS.

Don;'read my post then if it bothers you.

Thank you for the kind words on "Transitions". I loved that damn paiting and doing it also.

Robert

If you don't like the way you are treated, you're free to fuck off and leave.

Oh, and it's 'painting'. Spell-Check is your friend, fraud.

maybe his space alien friends who do the implants in golden retrievers got rid of all the NASA links?

 

[kwc57]

You missed the OP on both subjects. Go back and read. It was exercise in discernment. Nothing more. and it is Yes on both questions.

The point was instead of every single thing is a caustic reflux of attacks on each other.

Why not verify.

In item 1 it was only two clicks away and no even went to the NASA site, the point of my OP claim in the first.

Also, when I joined here, I did not know this was an "anonymous site" whjatever the fuck that means.

I've used my name on the net since the beginning, 1983-84.

Hope that is helpful.

Thank you,

Robert

I did, and you claimed I didn't use the search engine properly.

You did a single painting for NASA, back in the 80's and have been blowing that out of all proportion ever since.

Fraud doesn't begin to cover you.

You are a pathological liar.

Good point, good post. I am thinking of maybe asking the Russians. They are the only game in town for the moment. The Artist In Space was a real deal, but as I said, Challenger ended all that.

Still pass my physical so it might be fun goal to hit up the Russians-ha!.

No thank you. This thread is quite enough.

Thank you. Agreed. These jealous, empty, pale faced psycho fuckwits here have beaten this to death. Too bad they do not have my fame, fortune, wealth, health, and success, from an unemployed lumberjack-cowboy out of Whitefish, Montana.

Here is me at 18 and what I used to do...........But it was all good.

Me, age 17, running an RD-7 Logging Cat, for Canyon Logging, Whitefish, Montana, 1975.

Me, Running a CAT 518 Grapple skidder for Canyon Logging, winter, 1976, in the Rocky Mountains of Montana.

Shove it up your fucking collective asses motherfuckers. Get an education and pound glass. This place is so retro--like the net of '99-'00!

Awesome fun though....move on now mutants and flame away a real flame target like fucking Obama...I'm just an art guy who did not know this place was "anonymous". That format passed about 13 years ago or so. So retro here.

Then why is there NO RECORD of that program... ANYWHERE? IF it existed, there would be a record somewhere.

Go find one of those alien implant victims you touted...or that secret NORAD book. Worthless hack. Better yet, give us more details on how we're going to get a message from aliens in the next 5 years

you do a lot of complaining about this place, for someone who keeps posting here

 

[Robert_Stephens]

This post has nothing to do with this thread and is off topic, but I am bragging with this, since I really really don't give a shit.

Most will recognize this image, from the wildfires in my old home, Montana, Bitterroot Valley, back in 2000.

"Transitions", in the collection of The National Geographic Society, All Rights Reserved, Copyright, 2000, Robert A.M. Stephens. National Geograpic retains all reproduction rights of said art work. Oil on panel, 32"x52".

Robert

Awesome painting.

But why do you need to brag so much?

Because I am normal, famous, wealthy, did something, came from nothing, not a woo woo, the only one here using my name* and I inadverntantly came on here thinking it was a Political Disccusion site, to learn it is a boiled over woo woo site of anyonmous cowards and wannabes, worse than ever.

And a forum where there are many features here but it is total woo-woo via, 1997-2000, like the UFO, Art Bell crap that was popular for a few years 15 years ago.

Had I known what this place is, I would have never joined here at all. Too retro, so fucked up and a joke as it is. But it is fun now that I am here it is fun too. there are nuggets here.

And there are now two anonymous folks here from NASA that are watching in their free time and its fun.

Retro but fun.

They all need to move on from their obsession with me.

I am long past needing 'attention' and that was never the point, It was trying to teach these uneducated shit fucks the difference between a fact and a allegory of truth. They never got it. So fuck 'em all.

Thank you for the compliments on "Transitions". Sometime artists have favs, and for me that is one of them.

Robert

*--I use my real name and always have, for the last 28 years I've been on the net, so called, since the internet is 30-50% of my life and business and income. I have never been "anonymous, ever. I am on thousands of sites over that time and that would be normal, duh, that is what the fucking thing is for. I am a public person, have a public personna, and rely on it. and with all that, have only had to litigate it twice. Not bad.

Go For Throttle Up!

you are a self loving, self important windbag, who 'need's the attention of others. You're a liar, a fraud, and a complete charlatan. You think 'your' way, is 'the' way, and you can't stand that so few people on this site take your bullshit as Gospel.

If this site is so bad (points to door), don't let it kick you in the ass on your way out.

All this BS and posturing going on is funny though....

Hey, thanks for posting VEX and trailer. Cool. And you are right, it is all so fun. I love it. Albeit this place is soooooooo fucking retro, like the old net days in the late 90s. Too funny. Thousands of sites like this come and go, once after a few years, people tire of human shit like that little turd fail, "Conservative", whom is anything but a conservative of any kind. Too funny. Folks get tired, if they are anything in life, of every other post is saying "fuck you" to all other posters. Hilarious. But the owners here are making some bucks and could care less, so good for them.

Thanks goodness for the ban, block, ignore feasures here.

A word on Mexico"

I've lived in Majahual, Quintana Roo state, Yucatan, Mexico, where I have a home on the beach there, a 400 year old pueblo, and have also built a Christian based tech school whereby young people can get a better education and do something with themselves, like I did for myself.

With that said, I live here in Las Cruces, NM, for a US address, so I can also get home easily by crossing at the little known crossing of Antelope Wells, NM

Antelope Wells border crossing, USA side.

Photo courtesy, Alvarez Martino, Mexican Border Patrol, Mexican side of antelope Wells, Mexico. A Good amigo and pal down on the Mexican frontier......Me, VEX, about a mile inside Mexico, entering into the Coronado Desert Reach.....

With that said, the only bad places of Mexico is within 5 miles of the US-Mexican border and if the fucking gringos weren't doing drugs and so fucked up there would be NO drug wars.

Further, in all these years of traveling down to MX, to home, 1800 miles, from the Us, I have NEVER had a problem, ever. I do not know who your friends are, but they are totally full of shit, unless they live in Juarez.

Just some reality, in a sea of digital confusion. Its so funny, the american media is wrong on everything 80% of the time and now, Goodle is wrong about 205 of the time. To funny.

Your rig is a retro FJ-40, correct?

VEX is a 1983 CJ7 I got for free and was a total. I got it for free for towing it away. I rebuilt it and it evolved to the best Jeep ever. I've had it 20 years now and now has 1,143,000+ miles on it, on its 5th inline 6 cylinder engine.

It is Jeep number 26 after owning 26 of them over the last 44 years. I've always had and driven a Jeep, other than for fun, had a Porsche 911 and a 1956 Rolls Royce:

Me. Rolls Royce, Whitefish, MT, 1990, Montana.

I love the upside down Jeep. Never rolled one yet, but that is cool.....oh well, shit happens. Cool photo.

The trailer is army, 1952 and I bought it after I got VEX going so is 20 years old for me-- it itself is a 1944 model. I will go back to the source where I got it and will get back to you as he has 100s of military equipment there in Montana.

Write me here at [email protected] so we can interface and I will try and get info for you on the trailer(s).

Wow, and wow again......, did not know you have been and worked at JSC. Fabulous and then you know the excitement and adrenlin the work at NASA can give at times. Wild shit. I love it to death.

I remember the song and play time, too funny and the astros loved it.

Great post and yes, I am having a blast here, like old times of the Art Bell days and the total woo woos. Hilarious shit, as I said.

Thank you for your kind words on my paintings, very kind.

Thank you, come and visit anytime here.
