AdamsArtExpose’<br />

THE ART OF POINTILLISM AND BODY DECORATING<br />

During the late 1800’s European artists were<br />

experimenting with various ways <strong>to</strong> demonstrate<br />

how light gives impressions of what we see. This<br />

varied group of French artists came <strong>to</strong> be called<br />

Impressionists. Georges Seurat and Paul Segel<br />

were the two most prominent artists who worked<br />

with pointillism. Vincent Van Gogh also did a self<br />

portrait in 1887 using pointillism.<br />

<strong>The</strong> technique of pointillism used the science of<br />

blending pigment colors. <strong>The</strong> common way was<br />

<strong>to</strong> put two or more colors on a pallet then mixing<br />

them <strong>to</strong>gether <strong>to</strong> attain a desired second color.<br />

<strong>The</strong> French word <strong>for</strong> dot is point. What these artist<br />

did was <strong>to</strong> use small dots of color placed close<br />

<strong>to</strong>gether <strong>to</strong> achieve what appeared <strong>to</strong> be a second<br />

color when viewed from a nominal distance. the<br />

eye of the beholder created the mixed color. For<br />

example <strong>to</strong> achieve the color green small dots or<br />

points of yellow and blue would be placed close<br />

<strong>to</strong>gether <strong>to</strong> give the illusion of green. <strong>The</strong> same<br />

<strong>for</strong> orange, using yellow and red, violet or purple<br />

using blue and red, etc. It was the pigment color<br />

wheel with red, yellow and blue as the primary<br />

colors mixing them with each other <strong>to</strong> achieve<br />

virtually all other colors. White and black would<br />

be added <strong>to</strong> provide <strong>for</strong> lighter shades of pastel or<br />

darker shades of the initial color.<br />

give a body part a characteristic of an animal or<br />

other feature.<br />

One body part that is most sensitive is also a victim<br />

of tat<strong>to</strong>oing. <strong>The</strong> penis tat<strong>to</strong>o is not <strong>for</strong> every<br />

guy. You may have one or know someone who<br />

does. Tat<strong>to</strong>o artists recommend if you would like<br />

<strong>to</strong> tat<strong>to</strong>o your penis you should try another part of<br />

your body first. Why do some guys want a penis<br />

tat<strong>to</strong>o, possibly because it fits their general body<br />

design modification with other tat<strong>to</strong>os. Some may<br />

want it <strong>to</strong> correlate with a partners dick tat<strong>to</strong>o.<br />

Some ask if you need <strong>to</strong> have an erection <strong>for</strong> a<br />

penis tat<strong>to</strong>o. Tat<strong>to</strong>o artists say no, an erection is<br />

not necessary. However the artist holds the penis<br />

while creating the tat<strong>to</strong>o and an erection may<br />

evolve. Generally, according <strong>to</strong> the artist, the penis<br />

is held with a slight stretch <strong>to</strong> create the desired<br />

design. <strong>The</strong>re is an example of a creative penis<br />

tat<strong>to</strong>o in this article.<br />

How did we get <strong>to</strong> this <strong>to</strong>pic from pointillism??!!<br />

Isn’t it interesting how art can encompass so many<br />

areas of life.<br />

Questions, comments, suggestions, contact at:<br />

adamsartexpose@gamail.com<br />

Artists <strong>to</strong>day still use pointillism some use only<br />

black dots or points <strong>to</strong> achieve an effect. <strong>The</strong><br />

English artist Lex Wilson uses dots of color with a<br />

technical pen creating various geometric or graphic<br />

shapes. An example of his work is included in<br />

this article as a geometric design.<br />

Another place that pointillism is used is in the art<br />

of body tat<strong>to</strong>oing. If you have ever had a tat<strong>to</strong>o<br />

you know that they are created<br />

typically using a machine with eight needles<br />

at once each one penetrating the skin. Initially<br />

tat<strong>to</strong>os were created by an artist using one needle<br />

dot by dot with excruciating pain after each one.<br />

Tat<strong>to</strong>os are placed all over the body. Some are<br />

<strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> <strong>Gay</strong> Softball League Holds Clinics <strong>for</strong> New Players in Preparation <strong>for</strong> New Season<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> <strong>Gay</strong> Softball League (PSGSL) is inviting anybody interested in learning more about the<br />

league <strong>to</strong> come <strong>to</strong> one of the league’s new player clinics.<br />

<strong>The</strong> clinics will be held on Sunday, <strong>Sept</strong>ember 11, and Sunday, <strong>Sept</strong>ember 18. Both clinics run from 9 <strong>to</strong> 11<br />

(Park in the lot at Nueva Vista Drive and Mesquite Avenue.)<br />

<strong>The</strong>se clinics are open <strong>to</strong> anybody—not just members of the LGBT community—who is at least 18 <strong>years</strong> old.<br />

At these clinics, experienced coaches will offer in<strong>for</strong>mation about the league and assess potential players’ skill<br />

levels, <strong>to</strong> make sure everyone is matched with an appropriate team.<br />

“We have teams <strong>for</strong> everyone, from beginners <strong>to</strong> players with a <strong>to</strong>n of experience,” says Ross Benson, the<br />

commissioner of the PSGSL. “As long as you can have fun, you’re welcome.”<br />

Benson suggests that potential players come <strong>to</strong> the clinics dressed appropriately, and that they bring water.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fall season kicks off Sunday, Oct. 2. All games are played on Sundays at Big League Dreams in Cathedral<br />

City.<br />

To register <strong>for</strong> a clinic (which is encouraged but not manda<strong>to</strong>ry) or <strong>to</strong> get more in<strong>for</strong>mation about the PSGSL,<br />

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by jersey Shore<br />

Have you ever done something that made<br />

you feel so proud of yourself. <strong>The</strong> one time<br />

people aren’t around <strong>to</strong> see how great you<br />

did, nor understand the complexity of what<br />

you did. You accomplish so many things<br />

a day but this one was different. <strong>The</strong> one<br />

time you needed that pat on the back. Well,<br />

stretch that arm and pat away. You might be<br />

the only one who will give that pat and that<br />

is okay. <strong>The</strong> most important person thinks<br />

you did great. (I’m talking about you)<br />

We are all human beings struggling just<br />

<strong>to</strong> survive and be healthy. Spreading good<br />

vibes will only make the environment more<br />

plentiful. Do you thank someone after a<br />

blow job? Only if it’s a good one? Maybe a<br />

pat on the back, or front, <strong>for</strong> good ef<strong>for</strong>t?<br />

So, if you get no pat, just remember the most<br />

important person, that’s you, thinks you<br />

excel every day. We are human. Definitely<br />

not perfect. All though a huge amount of<br />

you think you are perfect. Good <strong>for</strong> you. I’ll<br />

be enjoying my perfectly imperfect life.<br />

It’s not any better or worse than yours. It’s<br />

just mine. So, we have <strong>to</strong> go slow and start<br />

at one pat at a time. Maybe we can spread<br />

positivity one hand job at a time.<br />

Peace, Love, and Back pats,<br />

Jersey<br />

THAT IS FUNNY<br />

Can a kangaroo jump higher than a house? Of course, a house doesn’t jump at all.<br />

My husband’s cooking is so bad we usually pray after our food.<br />

Why is it a bad idea <strong>for</strong> two butt cheeks <strong>to</strong> get married? Because they part <strong>for</strong> every little shit.<br />

Police officer: “Can you identify yourself, sir?”<br />

Driver pulls out his mirror and says: “Yes, it’s me.”<br />

When my partner starts <strong>to</strong> sing, I always go out and do some garden work so our neighbors can see there’s<br />

no domestic violence going on.<br />

What should you put on the <strong>to</strong>mb s<strong>to</strong>ne of a mathematician?<br />

“He didn’t count with this...”<br />

Fractured dysfunctional hIS-s<strong>to</strong>ry INVENTIONS<br />

Play-Doh: One smell most people remember from their childhood is the<br />

odor of Play-Doh, the brightly colored, non-<strong>to</strong>xic modeling clay. It was accidentally<br />

invented in 1955 by Joeseph and Noah McVicker while they were<br />

trying <strong>to</strong> make a wallpaper cleaner. It was marketed a year later by Rainbow<br />

Crafts. More than 700 million pounds of Play-Doh have sold since then, but<br />

the recipe remains a secret.Recently a presidential candidate was criticized<br />

<strong>for</strong> handing out Play-Doh, but we suspect he fancied the yellow color hat<br />

matched his hair.<br />

Fireworks: Fireworks originated in China some 2,000 <strong>years</strong> ago, and legend<br />

has it that they were accidentally invented by a cook who mixed <strong>to</strong>gether<br />

charcaoal, sulfur, and saltpetter - all items commonly found in kitchens in<br />

those days. <strong>The</strong> mixture burned, and when it was compressed in a bamboo<br />

tube, it exploded. <strong>The</strong>re’s no record of whether it was the cook’s last day on<br />

the job. I wonder about the gastronomical explosion he was trying <strong>to</strong> cook<br />

up. Perhaps exploding wind cakes. <strong>The</strong>y leave you with a BANG!<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />

It’s been a quiet week in the desert, thankfully, but<br />

not so much nationally as the Trump debacle continues.<br />

A few days of focused messages and then<br />

backtracking on his “throw all the <strong>for</strong>eigners out”<br />

and <strong>to</strong> <strong>to</strong>p it off his new campaign CEO is found<br />

<strong>to</strong> be a wife beater and anti-Semite! Does he even<br />

attempt <strong>to</strong> vet his staff? One really has <strong>to</strong> wonder<br />

who would be in his cabinet and HIS Supreme<br />

Court justices???? God help us all.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Presidential debates begin very soon. Anticipation<br />

is high as <strong>to</strong> how each candidate will do<br />

– the circus barker and the <strong>for</strong>mer Sena<strong>to</strong>r and<br />

Secretary of State. I pity the modera<strong>to</strong>r. But should<br />

make <strong>for</strong> must see TV.<br />

Cathedral City candidate <strong>for</strong>ums are being scheduled.<br />

<strong>The</strong> obliga<strong>to</strong>ry right-of-passage with the<br />

Desert Sun and also at the Cathedral City Senior<br />

Center and one with the Chamber of Commerce<br />

at the Mary Pick<strong>for</strong>d <strong>The</strong>ater. <strong>The</strong> Senior Center<br />

and Chamber <strong>for</strong>ums are open <strong>to</strong> the public.<br />

Senior Center at 5:30pm on Tuesday, <strong>Sept</strong>ember<br />

13 (37171 W. Buddy Rogers Drive – across from<br />

the Bell Tower) and the Chamber of Commerce at<br />

Wednesday, Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 5th at 11:30am. Here’s your<br />

opportunity <strong>to</strong> hear where the candidates stand on<br />

the issues.<br />

On Tuesday Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 30, the valley will be host <strong>to</strong> a<br />

group from Sacramen<strong>to</strong> called the Strategic Growth<br />

Council. This is the body that disperses all of the<br />

cap & trade funding <strong>to</strong> projects <strong>to</strong> help clean the air.<br />

New legislation calls <strong>for</strong> even stricter implementation<br />

of clean air laws <strong>for</strong> another 40% reduction<br />

in pollutants. I will be speaking on our plans <strong>for</strong><br />

passenger rail service from here <strong>to</strong> Los Angeles via<br />

San Bernardino, Riverside and Anaheim <strong>to</strong> get cars<br />

off the road and my colleague, John Aguilar will<br />

be taking the group on a <strong>to</strong>ur of housing projects,<br />

mostly in the eastern valley in hopes of getting<br />

money <strong>for</strong> transit programs <strong>to</strong> help promote a<br />

jobs/housing balance. Should be interesting. In<br />

the three <strong>years</strong> so far of the program, Riverside<br />

has only gotten one project funded and that was in<br />

Riverside, so we are making a big push this time.<br />

A fun and good <strong>for</strong> your health ef<strong>for</strong>t is underway<br />

in the valley. It called Nine valley cities walks with<br />

friends. It is sponsored by the United Way of the<br />

Desert and is geared as leading up <strong>to</strong> the annual<br />

<strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> Tram Race/Walk and the Desert<br />

AIDS Project walk. Each Saturday morning folks<br />

gather at 7am <strong>to</strong> walk anywhere from 1 – 3 miles<br />

<strong>to</strong> enjoy each other and get moving! <strong>The</strong> last two<br />

were in Desert Hot <strong>Springs</strong> and Cathedral City.<br />

Following walks are; <strong>Sept</strong>. 3 in Indio at Indio High,<br />

<strong>Sept</strong> 10 at the Hyatt Regency in Indian Wells, <strong>Sept</strong><br />

17 in Coachella at Rancho Las Flores Park, <strong>Sept</strong> 24<br />

in Rancho Mirage at Westin Mission Hills, Oct 1 in<br />

<strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> at the Aerial Tram Road, Oct 8 in La<br />

Quinta at the Wellness Center <strong>to</strong> LQ Trail and Oct.<br />

15 in <strong>Palm</strong> Desert at the Living Desert. <strong>The</strong> Tram<br />

Road Challenge 6K and DAP Walk are Oct. <strong>22</strong>. It’s<br />

free so come join in!<br />

Speaking of healthy ef<strong>for</strong>t, I broke down and joined<br />

a gym (InShape) in Cathedral City. I figured at 60 if<br />

I didn’t do it now I never would. I booked a trainer<br />

3X a week. I call him a sadist, but he is actually very<br />

good and sweet, Raul Silva. He is straight but great<br />

on the eyes. And I go two other days of the week <strong>for</strong><br />

cardio. I’ve been at it two months now and while I<br />

don’t see a change, my scale sure notices it! Good<br />

practice I guess <strong>for</strong> the door-<strong>to</strong>-door campaigning<br />

I have <strong>to</strong> do. We will see how things go. That’s it<br />

<strong>for</strong> this week. Stay tuned! More fun on the way,<br />

I’m sure.<br />

Greg Pettis is a <strong>22</strong> year city councilman in Cathedral<br />

City. He has made his name in governmental circles<br />

as an expert in transportation issues and is very active<br />

in working on bringing passenger rail service <strong>to</strong> the<br />

COACHELLA Valley. Greg was the first openly gay<br />

elected city council members In Riverside County. He<br />

has served on the boards of the National League of<br />
