Weaving a New Star -06062009 by Randall Klopping

Today Best June 06, 2009 - awarded by Zazzle.com

My ‘Weaving a Star’ series is one about hope and changing one’s fate. It was inspired in part by the movie ‘A Knight’s Tale’ starring Heath Ledger. Only to me it is not that we change our stars but rather weave new stars through our ingenuity, hard work and perseverance to change our fate.

This is one of my favorite series and is partially based on a little scifi short story I wrote many many years ago in which beings called Solar Mages lived throughout the universe weaving stars to fill the heavens.

Inspirations in Art - Time Travel

Prints available through my Zazzle Store
Gravitational Light -2008 by Randall Klopping

Inspired by the theoretical concept of time travel using a circulating cylinder of light to create gravitational forces. Dr. Ronald L. Mallett theorizes that the exterior gravitational field would contain closed time-like lines, which would indicate the possibility of time travel into the past.

Here are a few videos about Theoretical Physicist Dr. Ronald L. Mallett’s work.

An example of how the disabled are truly treated in the United States!

I just received a letter in the mail from the U.S. Dept. of Treasury notifying me that yet again my stimulus check is being stolen by them because of the U.S. Dept. of Education having lost or failed to enter into their database that I am permanently disabled and could not finish paying off my student loan.

The law and thus our government is supposed to protect me from such things and instead time and time again they are doing more harm than good. The agencies in this country are so broken that they fail in their purpose over and over and if we the people do not start demanding of our leader actual solutions then this nation will continue to falter until it fails. We simply cannot rebuild America by giving Hundreds of Billions of dollars to the rich and robbing it from the middle class and apperently even the very poorest citizens!

So for the first time in many years, I am asking that others pass this link on to their friends and family and ask them to do the same. I ask that people start writing their elected officials in the House, Senate and Whitehouse. If they need an example you can give them this link too.

As Thomas Jefferson once said… “A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sin and suffering.” That is a true description of what is happening in the U.S. today!

Thank you;

Randall Klopping

An apology to my visitors and fans

I’d like to apologize for neglecting this blog for so long.  Too many things were sending into overload laast year and then my mother fell ill and passed away last September.  I completely shut down for months and am working hard to get started again.

“Do You Believe in Time Travel?” Inspiration in Art

One of my favorite passions is theoretical physics and I love to explore its concepts in my art.

It all began with a topic in Dr. Michio Kaku’s science forum, known as HYPERSPACE. Do You Believe in Time Travel? My mind was already upon the subject of time, due to two articles at SciScoop.com titled; What is Time? and Side-stepping the Quantum Barrier to Time Travel

Then further inspiration came in the form of a post in the Hyperspace topic regarding the theory by Dr. Ronald. L. Mallett, being referred to as the Time Machine. It involves using a circulating cylinder of light to in essence create gravitational fields. The outer fields, containing closed time-like lines, seem to indicate the possibility of traveling through time into the past. I soon found myself artistically exploring the concept of such an experiment.

I began with a circulating cylinder of light and imagined the effect the generated gravitational fields might create. Inspiring the artwork - Time Machine.

My instinct, gut feeling, tells me that if mankind ever achieves the ability to travel back in time, we are in big trouble! We have enough problems just dealing with the present. To me it would be wiser to go stand in the middle of an open field, holding up a 20-foot steel pipe, during a massive thunderstorm. Inspiring the artwork - Meddling with Space-Time.

As the days went by my mind and the forum discussions pondered many concepts, a few outside of the subject and I began to wonder what other influences might effect such an experiment as the circulating light. Taking into perspective, the theories involving parallel universes, other dimensions, as well as the theory of Dr. Lisa Randall’s gravity brane. I imagined the experiment weakening the fabric of space-time, the very wall to the gravity brane and its gravitational energy feeding the time experiment. I envisioned a wormhole forming, rapidly becoming overloaded, it begins to grow into a wormhole storm. The storm grows, twisting and warping space-time and begins to alter reality. Inspiring the artwork - Time Experiment - Gravitational Light. ^{Click here to see this work through several steps of its creation.}

And having learned the hard way many times in life, that often things can and will at times, go wrong… that perhaps due to a simple miscalculation, naught would remain save a lovely spacial rift and the moon - Time Experiment - Slight Miscalculation.

Now none of this is to say I am predicting anything, my mind simply explores many possibilities, the good and the bad, the wonders and possible horrors.

To give you an idea of how my mind works, here is a simple example: Most people think of there being two sides to every coin (borrowing from the old saying)… Me, I think of a coin as having a minimum of 362 sides, heads & tails, plus one side for each degree in the circumference of the outside edge. Then my mind also takes into consideration all the sides involved when taking into account all the text and images stamped in the heads & tails! This is one of the things my art is, explorations of concepts running through my brain.

Currently only smaller & medium size open edition fine art prints are available.

Thirty Five Thousand Years in the Making

Near Verona, Italy inside the Fumane Cave in the Lessini Hills, Researchers not long ago discovered images painted on the wall that dated back some 35,000 years. “They are probably the oldest cave paintings, although we cannot affirm that with scientific certainty,” said Professor Alberto Broglio, who teaches paleontology at the University of Ferrara. - (source- Oldest Cave Painting)

Art has truly been around for a long time and there have certainly been a great many innovations, experimentations, explorations, abstractions and more than a few masterpieces that have stolen the hearts of others for thousands of years. It is what an artist seeks to do, we seek to express to others our passions, the explorations of our own mind and soul, in such a way as to captivate others and inspire them to understand.

It is ever-evolving, expanding as new mixes with old, that which is treasured, that which is sold. Generation by generation, fabulous wonders are revealed, each bearing a bit of the soul of its creator. It matters not in truth, the tool by which it was created; for it is the path of enlightenment that things will change. Each true artist who masters that which is within him will find a way by which to create and there will always be new tools.

This is the way of the Universe and that is one of my passions.

Spacial Rifts

The concept of a spacial rift (spatial rift others call it), essentially a tear in the fabric of space & time, has always fascinated me. It does however seem to be that one subject that I cannot find any real scientific theories on. I have searched and searched, only to come up empty. Now run a search on Spacial Rift, if you went by who shows up highest in the listings and the most times, you would think I was the leading expert on the subject. Nonetheless, alas physics is only a hobby for me that I find makes for great inspiration in many of the artistic illusions I so love to weave.

I believe Imagination is the first step on the path of enlightenment. For if one cannot imagine it, would he or she even be able to be curious about it? Without curiosity, would a person seek to understand? These are the things that drive me to explore such a concept, to seek to understand what apparently seems to only be in the imagination stage. So perhaps I am one of the pioneers, for not only does art imitate life, but life also imitates art. Don’t believe me? Let us take Star Trek for example: I’m a Trekkie, lots of people I know are, they have massive conventions FULL of people who are. And I even by accident came across a site a few days ago by Tony Alleyne, an interior decorator that will create you a wonderful Star Trek style interior. 24th Century Interior Design if you’d like to check it out.

I have read many times at various blogs & such, people claiming that digital art has no soul. I’d challenge that the soul of an artwork is dependent upon the artist, for art is an expression of the artist’ soul, not the tool chosen to bring it to life. If it were not so, how could a man with multiple disabilities (mental & physical) earn higher ratings on any subject involved in a show like Stargate SG-1 on search engines like Google? I earned it with hard work, creativity and imagination, seeking to understand & express a subject that fascinates me. I only use a computer to create because an accident many years ago has left me in so much pain I cannot paint and it has taken me many years to learn a completely different art form so that I could create beautiful art once again.

I would be proud if one found a home on your wall.

DID THE MAYAN’S PREDICT WORMHOLES? (SciFi)

“The Mayan calendar comes to an end on Sunday, December 23, 2012. Only a few people will survive the catastrophe that ensues.”

NO! I don’t believe in such predictions… LOL Yet in the world of imagination & art, concepts like the Mayan’s prediction and “Wormhole weapons” (SciFi Channel’s FARSCAPE) , combined with a little reality (NASA, Hubble, Space Shuttle) makes for the inspiration that brought about the weaving of this Science Fiction illusion. A Wormhole Storm is a Science Fiction (heavy on the fiction) concept of mine partially inspired by the SciFi Channel’s TV show “FARSCAPE.” The concept of a “Wormhole Weapon” intrigued me and already having developed my ruptured wormholes I soon envisioned them turning into massive storms, spawning off multiple shifting wormhole passages raging in space and tearing apart all within their grasp, scattering the matter throughout the regions the passages exits.
