Exploding Greedymo

Magmo_greed_web3

"Greedymo", ink on watercolor paper.

Greedymo is not a nice creature, it is only concerned with itself and it's wealth. Greedymo wants all of everything. Sometimes when Greedymo eats it will instantly grow a new mouth so it can eat more while you eat less. Even if Greedymo does not need it, Greedymo will still take it. Greedymo wants you to have nothing and is most happy when there is nothing left for you to have. There has been stories of when Greedymo's realize how disgusting their excessive behavior has been that they immediately explode. Everything that they have unfairly taken comes flying out of the explosion and is finally given back to the creatures who deserve their share. Magmo likes when the Greedymo's explode.

Eyemo is watching

"EYEMO", ink on paper

EYEMO watches everything. Eyemo can see the good and the bad and she remembers all of it. Even when she doesn't want to watch she watches anyway. Eyemo can always see you but it is very rare for anyone to ever see Eyemo. Eyemo can see you anywhere in the world at anytime doing everything. When you think no one saw you, Eyemo did. When you think your alone, Eyemo is with you. The odd thing about Eyemo is that even though she has seen everything it is said that she never tells anyone about what she has seen.

Eyemo is not the only one watching you, but so are they. These high-tech spy cameras can be found watching over public space in every major city all over the world. Modern surveillance cameras record your daily activities such as walking, driving, shopping, and even working. Day after day they record everything in their sight for your own protection. So you don't have to be freaked out anymore when you get the feeling like someone is watching you, because they really are.

Bird-flu Doom

"Bird-flu Doom", ink on paper

The bird-flu, also know as Avian influenza (A H5N1 virus), is still flying around the world, getting stronger by the day. Unless a cure/vaccine is produced to destroy the bird-flu, the migration of birds will continue to carry the infection from country to country. So far the infection has spread from bird to bird and in some cases from bird to human. Human to human infection has not yet been reported. So cross your fingers and your feathers in hopes that bird-flu doom never happens.

What are you wearing?

What are you wearing right now? Ever think about what materials are used to make the clothes you wear? Typically there are many chemicals and toxins used in the manufacturing of apparel. Today, there are many new technologies and sustainable fabrics being produced. Organic cotton, hemp and other fibers that are farmed without the use of pesticides are growing in popularity. Some new fabrics are even being produced from the cellulose of wood pulp. There are a variety of new materials and products to choose from which are better for you and earth. Care about what you wear.

Save Your Culture

Magmo_culture_v2_sm
Untitled, ink on paper

Magmo likes to have friends all over the world. To meet and learn from people from different cultures is one of Magmo's favorite experiences. Diversity makes life interesting. There are so many cultures to learn from and to experience. Exploring new cultures will expose you to diverse languages, foods, arts, crafts, musics, fashions, and traditions. If everyone in the world was the same life would be extremely boring. Some corporations try very hard to have people dress the same, eat the same foods, and think the same. A monoculture would be terrible for the people of Earth. Corporations are creating a monoculture as a result of globalization. So Instead of seeing native companies, products, foods, fashions, and lifestyles that are unique to individual countries and cultures, globalization has replaced them with major global brands, products and corporate messages. Fast/processed foods are replacing traditional foods, native made products and crafts are being replaced by cheaper made imports, traditional practices and languages are disappearing. Cultures around the globe are at risk of being destroyed. Magmo's strength comes from the natural diversity of Earth. To destroy the globalization of culture, you must get involved and learn how to keep your culture strong and alive for the future.

Dreamo

"Dreamo", ink on paper

Life will make simple things difficult and confusing. When you think you have the answer life will change the question. Life will easily give you everything you don't want. Life wants you to be happy living a life that is not. Life will tell you it's to hard. Life will tell you to relax. Life will tell you to be happy with what you have. Life loves to distract you from what you love. Life will try every day and in every way, but never settle. Life can have life, I will live my dreams.

OHNOMO is coming!

Disaster_v1_369_1
"Ohnomo", ink on paper

OHNO!... Ohnomo is coming! Run for the hills, hide under your desk, buy milk and bread!, but none of that will really help you against Ohnomo. Natural disasters around the globe are on the rise, earthquakes, tsunamis, wild fires, hurricanes, floods, dust storms, just to name a few. Are such disasters really natural? or are humans facing the consequences of years of ignorance against nature? Government agencies are trying to prepare for such disasters but politics have no control over mother nature. Ohnomo is the natural disaster demon of Earth. Ohnomo is angry that humans have ignored their responsibility to respect mother nature and have consistently failed to keep earth healthy and happy. Ohnomo uses the forces of air, water, earth, and fire to cause destruction around the world. Humans have taken advantage of earth (PDF 403.8K) for far too long, recklessly destroying the forests, polluting the air and oceans, and spreading deadly chemicals and toxins all over the globe. When the winds blow, fires burn and ocean waves rise you will feel the earth shake with anger. We will stand helpless and face the consequences of our ignorance and right before disaster strikes all we will say is "OHNO!" Those who destroy earth will be destroyed, OHNOMO is coming!

* Thank you to Leonardo who has translated the story of "OHNOMO" into Portuguese.

Decaying Youth

"Mouth of Doom", ink on paper

Have you ever had a bad tooth? Like a real bad tooth, the kind that hurts all the time and makes it hard to eat, and even makes your face swell up giant on one side. There are millions of kids that have bad decaying teeth and live in constant pain, which makes it very hard to smile. Many poor kids have bad teeth because dental care is so expensive and access to preventative treatment is limited. Even though some parents work multiple jobs to pay the bills, their employers may not offer dental coverage and the majority of low income families cannot afford to pay for a dentist visit. So poor kids have less opportunity to get preventive treatment and their teeth start to decay and fall out. Take care of your teeth the best you can. Help your teeth stay strong by eating healthy foods and by brushing and flossing everyday. Smile and destroy tooth decay.

Say NO to GMO's!

Magmo_bio_v3_new
"No GMO's", ink on paper

Do you know what GMO's are? Imagine if you eat an apple, it looks like an apple, smells like an apple but it's not "really" an apple. Yes that sounds weird, but that is what has been happening in the world of genetically engineered foods, also refereed to as GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms) or LMO's (Living Modified Organism). Genetically engineered food is the scary scientific process of taking genes from one plant or animal and mixing them with other genes to create a new product which is sold to and eaten by you. The majority of food found on the market shelf's contain additives, artificial colors, preservatives, and genetically engineered ingredients. Genetically engineered ingredients have become standards in the USA and around the globe. YUCK!

It even gets scarier because many people have no idea what they are eating. For example, scientists have taken the natural genetics of corn and engineered them into a GMO corn that will grow quicker and resist pesticides. Scientists have engineered GMO salmon to grow twice as fast then normal by inserting genes from another species. There is no national law that requires food companies to label GMO's/LMO's on their package ingredients. So you eat them unknowingly. YUCK!

Remember that old saying "You are what you eat", well if you don't know what you are eating then you won't know what will happen to you after you have eaten GMO's. The majority of genetically engineered food used by food companies has not been tested on humans or even approved by the FDA , the current laws do no require such tests. YUCK!

Watch what you eat. What may appear to be natural corn, soybeans, potatoes, and meat, may be a scary genetic frankenfood. Say NO to GMO's!, and destroy genetically engineered food before it destroys you. YUCK!

Octomo

Octomo_v3_369f

My name is Octomo. I live way down below, under the waves in the deep blue. Keep the ocean clean is what i do. Suckas who be droppin' scum in the sea gotta deal with me. Hey hey hey, now hold on! Before you drop 100 tons of radioactive waste in my hood, ask yourself... do those steel drums do any good?

It's not just the dirty corporations that are polluting my home. Everyday people use toxic chemicals and pour them down the sink drain. Driving in cars creates carbon minoxide which creates acid rain. All these things cause ocean life pain.

Octomo's friend Frank The Flounder used to be a healthy two pounder. One day swimimg Frank swallowed some strange slime leaking from out of the city sewer line. Now Frank The Flounder is all swollen and can barely swim. A bright red itchy rash has spread all over him. The worst part is that Frank is growing a second head. Because of the chemicals Frank the Flounder is almost dead. Polluting the ocean is a crime. This will be the last time. Stop dumping your garbage and sewage in my place. How do you feel with glowing toxic sludge drippin' down your face? You humans better clean up your act, oil spills kill and contaminate our world, that's a fact.

Next time you disrespect the ocean and pollute my sea, you'll see me. I have nine tentacles, with hundreds of suckers to suck out the chemicals. I'm gonna give that pullution right back to the human race. You can keep all your garbage and all your toxic waste. Humans need to rethink this matter. Your ignorance will lead to disaster.

My name is Octomo, I protect the sea from pollution. Destroying ignorant humans is my solution.
