 Yesterday I received a Email from my POD Merchandise ART OF WHERE to inform me that the associated web page for my products will not be maintained anymore after April 2023. This announcement came via Mailchimp. It is a bit frustrating - on Facebook I wrote: According to the latest update from my AOW Print-on-Demand place, the store web page will no longer be maintained after April 2023. I would have to host my own store (pages?) on my own website, or else join Etsy or Shopify to offer my products via API from AOW. All rather complicated and time-consuming work to make those changes. This is frustrating. For anyone to check out within the next few weeks, here is my existing store on the AOW website that will be no more after a month (get it while it lasts - I will still be able to sell my creations, but have to make other arrangements): MY AOW STORE PAGE ART OF THE MYSTIC OTTO RAPP  After some time of being idle, I just recently created a number of items so maybe check them out while my store page is still up. Still available to order from my store page until end of April.  AS ABOVE - SO BELOW
After some time of low activity I am pleased that some work of mine had been chosen for a show in Seattle. This was announced by my friend Don Farrell who had on previous occasions placed works of mine that he is taking care of in shows in the Seattle area.

I am posting two versions - one from YouTube Age restricted, only available directly on YouTube - but if that one gets deleted (again?) I embed one from Rumble ▼ Ukraine. Across its eastern border is Russia and to its west-Europe. For centuries, it has been at the center of a tug-of-war between powers seeking to control its rich lands and access to the Black Sea. 2014's Maidan Massacre triggered a bloody uprising that ousted president Viktor Yanukovych and painted Russia as the perpetrator by Western media. But was it? "Ukraine on Fire" by Igor Lopatonok.. 
2020 / 2022 - For the past two years, the world population has been under the spell of the coronavirus. Emergency regimes have been established, civil liberties have been dismantled, surveillance programs were being installed and an unprecedented global vaccination program has been rolled out.
Are we doing the right thing, or did we make a deal with the devil in exchange for a benefit? Through critical voices from various areas of expertise, PANDAMNED attempted for the first time to paint the whole picture and shed light on the darkness. It has become a relentless stocktaking of our time, which global organizations, governments and big tech companies would have preferred to prevent. Documentary maker Marijn Poels takes the viewer on an enlightening journey through the emerging absurd world of the "New Normal" and how we can still prevent it. www.pandamned.org Subtitles: German, Englisch, Dutch For my German readers, here is a excellent article in German für meine Deutschen Leser, hier ist ein sehr guter Artikel auf Deutsch über diesen Film: «Pandamned» – Dokumentation über die Hintergründe der Corona-Politik

You will not always find what you seek,
you'll find what your soul needs. And it is above you and me, is the spirit and the life. - Arnau of Tera - “It is possible, however, that the artist is both thin-skinned and prophetic and, like the canary lowered into the mine shaft to test the air, has caught a whiff of something lethal.” ― Walker Percy, Lost in the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book This is a Test Post regarding my Exhibition in Serbia of my drawing Eros Thanatos II a excerpt of the original blog post, which seems to be lost now, was also posted on my Hive/PeakD Blockchain  EROS THANATOS II  AOI - PORTALS - On-line virtual Exhibition
The Society for Art of Imagination invites you to a Virtual Exhibition, Portals. AOI is a long standing organization that supports Visionary artists and their work. This art may be called by many names – Fantastic Realism, Surrealism, Magic Realism, Visionary Art, Cosmic Art and Inspirational Art, however the work is neither purely abstract nor rigidly realistic. Members of the Society work independently of one another in various countries yet their work shows a consistent ethos.

What's it like having COVID-19? Canadians share their symptoms amid Omicron
After getting messages about this I decided to one more time add something about it in my blog.

A article from January 11th is also interesting, in respect to vaccinations and the call for mandatory vaccines:
European Union regulators warned that frequent Covid-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune response and may not be feasible.
Repeat booster doses every four months could eventually weaken the immune response and tire out people, according to the European Medicines Agency. Instead, countries should leave more time between booster programs and tie them to the onset of the cold season in each hemisphere, following the blueprint set out by influenza vaccination strategies, the agency said.

Das Narrenschiff von Sebastian Brant - woodcut 1549
Das habe ich zuerst mal auf Facebook gesehen, dann das Original auf Bitchute gefunden. Die obige Illustration ist ein Holzschnitt aus einer Ausgabe von Das Narrenschiff aus dem 15th Jahrhundert. Bis Heute hat sich meiner Ansicht nach nicht viel geändert.
Dieses Video ist für Menschen gemacht, die bei der "Pandemie" lange mitgemacht haben, denen aber mittlerweile das eine oder andere schon etwas seltsam vorkommt. Ideal also, um es an Freunde und Bekannte weiterzuleiten, die Euch bislang für Spinner oder Verschwörungstheoretiker gehalten haben, bei denen aber noch Hoffnung besteht. Widersprüche in der offiziellen Lesart der "Pandemie" gibt es auch in den normalen Massenmedien, man muss nur danach suchen. Ich habe Dutzende Ausschnitte von Zeitungen zusammengeschnitten, die zeigen, dass sich die wenigen von Politik und Medien akzeptierten und hofierten auserwählten "Fachleute" alle paar Wochen selbst widersprechen. Ich zeige auch, dass es sehr wohl in den "seriösen und anerkannten" Medien hier und da eine kritische Stimme gibt, die die Wahrheit klar benennt. Diese Stimmen werden nur meist von Lauterbachs Panikgeschwafel und Drostens apokalyptischen Phantasien niedergebrüllt. MichaelLeitner
