Third Person Psychosis: Primo
Salvador DC: During my formative years, at “Parsonia” University. My youngest sister used to call me, “Doodles”. Her birthday today is, as baby Yoda would say. Indeed sis, I was constantly drawing on countless artist thinking sketchbooks. With visual design criteria in mind, I became to be.
Back then, circa (1998-2002) she would often see me draw for hours. Without invasion, my mind escaping to sentimental “Ethernia”. Along with parables and contradictions. References to ponder and consider, Sir Bacon. Francis Bacon was indeed one of my 20th Century painterly heroes. And then came Amy Silman painterly inspiration. With her art historical axis cannon mountain top painting.
Amy Sillman: Me & Ugly Mountain
Web Clip notes from: The Curator:
“In her 6-foot-wide “Me & Ugly Mountain” from 2003, a woman in the lower left corner (which seems to be a cartooned self-portrait) pulls a tiny rope that drags a giant sack of orange and pink lines across a vast empty, snowy landscape.
The character has got a ton of psychological baggage, but, ya know, she seems to be getting along.
Contemporary abstraction tends to riff on art history and be rife with alienation. One style dubbed alternately the “new casual” or “provisional painting” often purposely feels unfinished and verging on mistakes.
In this post modern 21st century moment where there’s no embarrassment in wearing influences on your sleeve, Sillman operates at the intersection of mid 20th century Abstract Expressionist artists like Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Joan Mitchell and Richard Diebenkorn and expressionist realists and cartoonists like Francesco Clemente, Jim Lutes, Alice Neel, Gary Baseman, Nicole Eisenman and David Shrigley”
Salvador DC: Me & Ugly Mountain.
About Artist Statement: In my work, I tried to emancipate myself from art historical cannons. The monster figure is trying to subdue 20th Century shadows. With this study for larger painting, to be. I gave myself ample room to learn and grow. Giving way to expressive gestural art making practices. That feel and look, corporeal to the eye. My mountain top is a different version to that of Amy’s perspective. I rather took a symbolist approach. Depicting my mountaintop while emanating art historical baggages. Drawing a large foot pedestal as a foreground element. To erect a mountaintop, building or lumping shapes together. In addition to layering non-descriptive irregular shapes to distort my mountain version. While conforming and reshaping the study in the final painting, to be.
I was inspired by Amy’s attempt to tackle what might seem daunting for any contemporary artist, working in the field: “What are we gonna paint?” to quote Barnett Newman in “Painters Painting” from 1972.
Combining contemporary abstraction with cartoonish figuration. I attempted to blur two distinctively motifs into one unified study. Whereas Amy’s figure ground relationship depicts a landscape. I decided to cut out and incapsulate space by illustrating a higher dimensional abstract background.
Representing my Mount Rushmore of 20th artist. Referential points of view, are always welcome.
1-Pablo Picasso, 2-Sir Francis Bacon, 3-Andy Warhol, 4-Louise Nevelson. Transformative shadow boxing lays bare with grit and sophistication, workflows.
Sir Francis Bacon, as I would love him to be. Was a 20th Century master. Behind what is often labeled within Fine Arts humanity circles as: The poster child for the human condition. Go figure. Lucian, Hockney, Picasso and Giacometti. Bah! Francis was indeed, that dude. Distorting brushwork with impasto slaps on unprimed canvases. Allowing what I often call: A painter’s gamble strategy with loaded brush at hand. To develop impressively powerful images.
Artist Thinking Sketchbook Series:
Flowchart Story Composition in Flux.
The subject on view within these books. Including all material incorporated into this series. Incorporates traditional art historical motifs with scientific concepts. Landscapes, anatomical anatomy, life drawing, still life, 3D prototype design. Mixed with 2D color theory abstract line art. Along with universal concept artwork doodles, always on my mind shall be. Looking back at these works, with singularity. I always believed in the power of creativity as a transformative practice. Art therapy dialogs baked between science fiction and historical critical thinking. Meant to be seen as entry point towards Surrealist practices. Terms to weight, ponder and consider collaging. In your mind, once again.
Primo: For real!
These conversational dialogs take place between three acts. –The Curator in chief & yours truly —SDC. With participating entrances by —Primo.
Contemporary art chat taking place over a thirty year span. Within the artist mental states. Higher dimension mental thoughts, occur . Salvador DC, your worthy translator narrator in charge. Pertaining to all things Sci-Fi.
Using lo-fi technological neural link protocol user interface schema. Shall begin to display, exhibit and curate future happenings. If I can learn the Tech Stack in mind. Shall be, or not to be. The human race will need to make preparations for TED Talks Scientific backstory references.
Explanations, to come in time shall be. Further explorations within my graphic novel shall include: Introduction, climax and resolution entry gateways.
“Something massive, with roughly 1,000 times the area of Earth, is blocking the light coming from a distant star known as KIC 8462852, and nobody is quite sure what it is.
As astronomer Tabetha Boyajian investigated this perplexing celestial object, a colleague suggested something unusual: Could it be an alien-built megastructure?
Such an extraordinary idea would require extraordinary evidence. In this talk, Boyajian gives us a look at how scientists search for and test hypotheses when faced with the unknown.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).
Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design — plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.”

According to mental sources: “We think the background radio-wave radiation images. Have been misinterpreted, since its’s original darkroom revelations.
“Furthermore, these images represent all the matter in the Universe that Black Holes swallow. Thus connecting dark matter with dark energy in one complete Standard theory.”
Said, another character who is under house arrest for development purposes.
Chatter below from Ted Talks: Culled from one of many magical “Primo” intergalactic meetups.
“At the center of a galaxy more than 55 million light-years away, there’s a supermassive black hole with the mass of several billion suns. And now, for the first time ever, we can see it. Astrophysicist Sheperd Doeleman, head of the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration, speaks with TED’s Chris Anderson about the iconic, first-ever image of a black hole — and the epic, worldwide effort involved in capturing it.”
Doodle Works:
Retrospective selections encompassing three decades.
Searching, dreaming, refining my pencil mind while sharping singularity premises. Meaning on matters between Philosphy and Scince.
Would you mind, we are conducting, hard experiments. Here.
Sketch Book “Doodles” Vol .1
According to The Curator, the Antagonist Movement was a late 90’s group. Encompassing artist, educators, thinkers, dreamers and believers. From around the Tri-State area and “Bushwick” of course.
Our focus was to deliver bi-weekly to monthly editorial artwork design. Hosting street art fairs, gallery happenings, bar exhibition punk rock shows. While inviting open mic stand ups sessions. Delivering poetry, independant play dialogs. With rhythm and blues easthetic decor.
At our East Village location located on Avenue A and uncertainty judgmental maps. Was central to all things creative wit with psychic automatism in mind.
The group was founded by legendary Wall Street legend, “46-Balls Ethan Allen.” Whom we owe his humbleness call over the Pond. Shall also need to be kept under a microscope.
Medium: Pen, water color ink brush & color pencil on 4x4in ideation sketch book.
The Curator: The artist, SDC began drawing on small scale thinking sketchbook. Pinning down color, shape and composition.
“My approach towards image making stems from investigating line, shape, color, texture and composition. Developing fundamental particles of creation.–SDC”
Artist: Salvador DC: Prototype rendering ball point pen drawing. Depicting a Dyson Sphere mechanical tubbing blueprint diagram. One of many trial and error, ideation sketches.
The Antagonist multiverse filled circumferences, holes beyond levitation. That is to say line, color, form, taste, shape, texture, space and composition. Your rudimentary array & directional life protocol.
Became connected using our background radiation, time portal. Mechanism your works on paper are mysteriously, tapping into. With special consideration to subject matter summoning, in order of magnitude, we collide.
Anatomical observation studies for larger works on paper paintings.
Medium: Color pencil, ink brush market, graphite pencil with ink.
Today, time and space separate my sister and I. Alongside, exist paradoxical agent force. A bubble wall echo chamber empire. Arousing armaments with weapons of mass celestial destruction. Chatter sensorial surveillance hides, seeks, peels and aides. Towards normalizing what’s come to be, routine.
This is a three way philosophical dialog motif for speechless Democratic frames of mind. First, a three way conversation with a fictitious “Curator”. Developing interchangeable dialogs about contemporary art. Exhibiting digital creator: Salvador DC works online for Arts Journal Zine.
Second, an online exhibition entitled: “Doodle Works” by –SDC.
Expanding three decades in what can only be described as searching for miraculous, creative lines. Towards solving riddles for other scientific minds, in the field.
What field? See these drawings as below, so above shall come forth.
In time.
Spacing Art, Design, Technology and Cultural driven. NGO’s with one single incubator open space directive. To house creative spaces for our creative think tank group. **#( CTT___ )** The agency focus shall be to recruit: “Think Tanks” to formulate a secretive mental mapping, tour.
Ideas pertaining to solve two things.
1-Scientific “What do they tell you” chatter over empty Upper East side, flat.
2-What the bleep do they know.
For Real, Primo.
The ET’s that inhabit my dialog chatter are tinkering, types. Allowing these drawing composition, time to develop. Towards developing cogently articulated dialogs.
Further. Using biology, art history, theoretical physics, AI and magic seen on Disney animal kingdom( A%La#h). I will attempt to pitch my script to Hollywood studios.
Pithy Story Synopsis: Inside Six Flags Animal Kingdom complex. Things appear to be upside-down. From August 13th to September 29th, Elder John acquires the entire landmass area. Exhibiting what he is calling: “Paradise on Earth” The religious trip tour to Paradise. To the dismay of Richard, whose Biology background methods. Collide with Elder John’s plan to eradicate Biology follow up questions, during the tour.
These pithy dialog motif below are prophetic proses I intend to hash out for my final graphic novel script. Whilst I develop rich character formation sets. Shall be the goal for 8/26 to 12/26 .–SDC.
Character Dialog Modeling Narrative:
“Third, becoming John’s revelation letters to both Moore’s Law and these other, Moors. Those who search for enlightenment with human values in mind.
The gamer prophet is searching for his miraculous reforming brother in arms. At last, the East was seen as middle Earth, for us all”.
The Lost Book Doodles: Ephemeral Artistic Constellations
These drawings are works in progress. Character ET design prototypes. To be included in: “Dyson Sol“. The abstract drawings on view, take on biological cell transformations. Enduring alongside a set of character facial expressions. Aiding with dialog narrative structure. These prototypes depict typical Dyson Sol operators. Communicating with the protagonist, –SDC. Using mental teleporting synaptic UI Neural link technology. Often mislabeling these synaptic connections.
Blurring lines between field optical “Techtronics” with technological orders of magnitude. The space between our senses, they nest. Calling all Dyson Operators, the script shall be born again. In 21st Century fashion. Reader take note, this is purely fictional subject matter.

Fine Arts: “Doodle Works”
Watercolors, Prints, Photographs, Works on Paper: Dyson Sol. Abstract Drawings, Botanical Expression Series, Editorial Book Design & Art Installation Proposals.
Hard, while (WFH) at around closing tickets with afternoon delight.
Indeed, I did.
With pontification strategies around how glass dildos are made. Dialogs between Mr. Gusto XXX. & Significant Lust. Yet another set of Gonzo characters, to develop. Further.
Taking into consideration a brand new theory of gravity. Which shall come forth in revelatory manner. Throughout the novel lucky 13 chapters.
For real Primo, with much love we wait you.
The Curator: Talk about the process behind art making studio practice, for you.
What kind of advance civilization is capable of building a Dyson Sphere. Followed by, “how am I able to hear you?” further.
–SDC.
Fine arts drawing for me, hitherto has been a process between history and research. Investigations leading my gaze to see line, shape, color, pulp literature references, texture with Mise-En-Scene compostion. A new, these works on paper drawings reveal small scale intimacy moments in time.
With the viewer in mind I try to utilize expressive gestures or mechanisms. Ranging around figural to ground layering motifs. On paper effects mostly created from imagination with art historical reference sourcing, material.
With a kind of lyrical abstraction sensibility of spirit within my own collective experience. The works on exhibit are part in a series dating back to 1998 to present. Thinking about these works in relation to taxonomy and curation. I created several critical benchmarks to showcase how the work should be consumed.
Prints, watercolors, abstract drawings, botanical art, photographs, artist books and digital installation blue prints. Together with elevating humanities of sciences by way of philosophical musings, with wavering prose and cons. My creative process is always in a state of refluxing value proposition. For the sake of building argumentative tectonic shifts, in conciousness-SDC.
The Curator: What is the name of your retrospective art show?
“Doodle Walls” motif is a cozy one bedroom basement apartment. Located amongst existential judgemental maps. Separating bedroom from living room studio. The multiverse spacetime continuum inhabits. Intellectual magical atoms with emancipating categorical, arrays. Wall art mounted on a regular kitchen space. These walls also adorns past birthday wishes. With heartfelt holiday hallmark carding messages.
These randomly access memories represent corporeal moments. Thank you’s, past life birthdays. Including heartfelt concierge messages. Meant to inspire my hospitality effort. Sincerely yours, other objects of desire include: an ongoing refrigerator door art installation piece. Alongside one kitchen dinning table with two chairs, to lay one’s thinking “arss”.
Please excuse my French. Not to mention one traditional Microwave and tabletop.
The “Micro-Teli” raided as a communication food amplifier wave radiator. Between the pond. Is where one does ponders to be. The voices are indeed stationed at Bucking-Hams Palace. In painting we all find common ground.
The living room grand price motif is an old artist drafting table. Were art books collide with ideation magical instruments. Summoning linear doodle senses with visibility higher dimension, scopes. Thank god for that cornerstone book culture shelf. Comprising science, sci-fi, pulp, non-fiction, philosophy and visual artist catalog. Both Dionysus and Apollo are in constant development flux.

The Drawing Room: –SDC.
On the corner of Wooster, between uncertainty freedom street. And Pearl.
Exist a space called “The Drawing Center”. housing contemporary fine art works on paper. Drawings, photographs, prints & book art material.
I once saw an exhibition entitled:”Between Street & Mirror” James Ensor Drawings, back during my formative years.
Similarly, this online exhibition: “Doodle Works” is a collection from the Salvador DC studio agency, state. Culling, sourcing and developing artist mental maps. Mid career retrospective artworks, used in the field.
The drawings on exhibit are explorations on paper and wood panel. Executed using small gestures, scribbles with cross hatching techniques.
Small in size(4x6in to 8.5x11in) are meant to be seen as preparatory studies for large scale painting, installation. I use graphite pencil, ink marker, watercolour, color pencil, pilot pens, Bambu Sumi ink with an array of painting brushes. To arrive at tonality subject matter, blurred into abstraction to figuration. Concepts or works on paper, at hand.
Notes from The Curator: –SDC aesthetic vernacular is culled from Picasso’s Endless Drawings. An exhibition curated by Centre Pompidou (2022 to 2024) Marking the fiftieth anniversary of the death of the artist, Pablo Picasso on April 8th 1973. Edited by Anne Lemonnier and Johan Popeland. Printed by Prestel Press in Munich, London and NY. Furthermore,
“The Centre national d’art et de culture Georges Pompidou is a national public institution under the tutelage of the Culture Ministry (law no.75-1 January 3, 1975“
