A Johnny 5 Painting with Scrolling Text

Jason Torchinsky is a guest blogger on Boing Boing. Jason has a book out now, Ad Nauseam: A Survivor's Guide to American Consumer Culture. He lives in Los Angeles, where he is a tinkerer and artist and writes for the Onion News Network. He lives with a common-law wife, five animals, too many old cars, and a shed full of crap.

You don't see too many Johnny 5/El Debarge paintings around, right? I made one a while back I thought you might like to see-- it incorporates some LED scrolling text, which I think has been absent from painting for far too long.

if you don't incorporate it into the painting via some kind of sound system, the least you could do is dub the chorus from "Who's Johnny" onto that vid.
