…transmitting from further away…

I’m transmitting from further away …a bit deeper into the woods….not far enough yet. These days it’s watching moths around the porch light, sweating over hive collapse and waiting very patiently for Kohoutek. Maybe I’ll take a Luddite life seriously -send notes down the mountain duct taped to a bear or order supplies by Morse [...]

Frogs and Toads with gold eyes

A collection of bullfrogs, toads and tree frogs that I stumbled on in the yard and shooed off of the road out here when it rains. Did you ever look at their eyes? They’re gold…metallic gold. Come to think of it…why do goats have slitted pupils like a cat? I need to do some reading [...]

The Magnificent Pigtail Shadow is fully funded now

The Kickstarter project is fully funded as of today, with about 2 days to go until it officially closes!!!  I’ll send more updates and images once the camera and field recorder arrive.  In the meantime, continuing to tighten up the script…  tentatively scheduled to begin recording the narration in August.
Thanks for the support!!!!

Fat Ivory Monkey…Brown Cuts Neighbors

My friend Jim dressed as the Fat Ivory Monkey- the mascot for The Brown Cuts Neighbors (the greatest forgotten band in the world). He always looked to his right

Bee Wing and possible Frog Egg Evolution

I found this bee on its side. Looks like it died flying and landed on my porch in full rigor mortis. You hear about ‘hive collapse”? Some say it’s a farce but 2 years ago I saw maybe 2 honeybees all summer long and I spend a lot of time outdoors. They think that the [...]

The Best Tea Cup…Ever.

I found this plastic tea cup half buried in the dirt in Arizona. I couldn’t guess who was tea toddling on a massive mesa hours from civilization. Probably be stranger to the original owner that I brought it home to NY decades later on a jet to drink from it almost everyday.

The latest Signal to Noise

Reposted this from Wow Cool’s site.

The newest issue of the excellent Signal to Noise Magazine (#58 – The journal of Improvised & Experimental Sound) features a great spread of several of Steven Cerio’s concert posters and a good sized interview with the man talking about his history, art and music. Interesting discussion of [...]

Ghost Protects Horse

A horse with a beautiful blur where its head should be. I was confused by the blur after I shot it…now its obvious… I filmed a caring spirit protecting the horse from the flash of my Nikon with its ghastly pale forearm.

Interview with Stanley Mouse- Seconds #45 (1997)

STANLEY MOUSE
Seconds #45, 1997
by Steven Cerio
You’d have to list Stanley Mouse among the most memorable aestheticians to come down the pike since Normal Rockwell. But I’d hesitate to label Mouse a master of Psychedelic Art. To dub Stanley a master is [...]

Henry Darger and the friendly Chicago

Chicago on my way to a toy signing at A.Okay Official. It was the first time I spent any significant time there. Even the abandoned factories are beautiful there…they keep a comfortable city. I enjoy how friendly the Mid West is…takes a while to get used to it. Makes you realize how angry and fast [...]

Interview with The Residents- Seconds #43 (1997)

Continuing to archive items from the old Happy Homeland site.
THE RESIDENTS

By Steven Cerio
The unblinking eyes of THE RESIDENTS stand as a constant reminder of the infinite possibilities of invention and transcendence in the face of numbing boom boom crash crash dance beat aggression. They stand in tuxedos [...]
