04:26:92 week in revue. Final entry.

It has been a year since first posting these old montages I created in 1992. Easier to post than to locate, clip and paste on the graph paper!

What was more publicized than the Rodney King video this week? The verdict brought senseless looting. We are not entitled to fairness, however misguided our reasoning. No one has the right to burn cars (unless it is your own) and buildings in a fiery temper tantrum. Daryl Gates, Los Angeles Chief of Police at the time, died April 16, 2010.

Speaking of tantrums, Muammar al-Gaddafi threw one this week. I actually do not recall how significant he was in the news at the time. I just love his superimposed svelte body. The other roar addresses the beginning of the Month of May for the Indy 500.

Easter and Earth Day in the same week. Coincidence? I think not. Those knowing the truth see the appropriate vintage stamp’s connection. The earth actually did quake near Petrolia, California this week. The 7.1 main shock caused significant damage to older structures in the sparsely populated, mountainous region. Leaving the earth once again is NASA’s space shuttle. Obviously, the earth symbols are a key design element for this week’s clippings.

Hand drawn “pixels” play a part in the image transitions this week. A protester, another well-reasoned liberal, accosted former President Reagan. This guy was so out of touch, he did not know Reagan was President at the time. Speaking of accosted, the clipping says a lot about tax frustration. Note the “morph” of the hapless citizen’s shirt/arm merging into the construction image. A section of abandoned tunnel ruptured and the Chicago River poured into downtown, wreaking hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. Hollywood buffs will recognize the passing of Neville Brand. Rent the film, “D.O.A.” with Edmond O’Brien. Brand is priceless as a psychotic heavy.

A simple design approach starting with my trip to Arizona on Continental to Asimov in counter clockwise flow. The reaching arm is a key element that brings the viewer back into the montage. Beginning this week in 1992, British Prime Minister, John Major, gets advice after winning re-election. Former Panama military dictator-thug, Manuel Noriega, went to trial in Miami and convicted on eight counts of drug trafficking, racketeering, and money laundering.
