Stepping Up to the Plate...
We're happy to announce the sale of two "New Paleo" Art pieces to the nice folks at Chico's Pizza in Long Beach, California. These are among the first we've offered online. Way to go Chico's!
It seems appropriate that artwork emblazoned onto a paper plate would fit in well at a restaurant. You could eat a meal off this artwork, but we wouldn't advise it. Future Paleontologists might get a little angry.
We hope it will go on display for the public at Chico's. These plates are actually durable plastic and come with hangers already attached to the back. They look great on the wall and sure attract attention and comment.

Welcome...
"Paleo" is hot right now. There are magazines, websites, blogs and expensive conferences. The majority of these are concerned with two things: Diet and Exercise. Six-pack bellies and tasty food menus are everywhere. But there's more to learn from our ancestors in the distant past, hence this blog.
If we call natural world "The Biosphere", then our world of machinery and money is "The Technosphere". The latter lives off the former, and rarely gives anything back to it. And, it's this obsession we have with the Technosphere that is dangerous. It literally puts us into a trance state. Money creates machines creates money creates machines while our living habitat deteriorates.
Primitive people, defined by us as not having technology or money, nonetheless have much to teach, and one way is by Ritual. We've all seen tribal rituals with dancing, drumming and body painting, and some may regard these activities as quaint but pointless--essentially meaningless superstition. But we have our own defining rituals even though we may not consciously accept them as such.
A tribesman conferring with ancestors through ritual is reinforcing a connection with the Universe, via Time, Space and Life. But we, by getting up each morning and turning on electronic devices, basically in worship of them, and then downing a sacrament of hot coffee to go out into the Technosphere to hunt wild Money, is no less a ritual, because it too effectively defines who we are.
But we can create new rituals to define ourselves, or, we may borrow older ones.

Do you know who you are?

Do you recognize this as a portable shrine?
