During a recent daydream-fueled road trip lightning struck, my brain seized in an aha moment of spontaneous combustion. Through another alignment sparking across pulsing neurons and excited intuition my mind lit up again. Seemingly out of nowhere a brain-blazed clarity hit me like a Louisville Slugger nailing a home run winning not only the game, but the entire World Series. Ok, that’s a bit of a stretch, more like a Little League tied whiffle ball game. While whistling on down the highway I posed a hypothesis to my sidekick that may just be the key that unlocks what the Hell on Earth we’re all experiencing now in our shaken, quaking world.

Could the unhinged political climate, and more to the point our polarized, war-mongering country leader himself be taking commands from a premeditated script in order to raise his status to that of divine? His deluge of reality distortion fields harvested by his number two in an endless hall of mirrors. Escapism in its purest form serving sheepish zombies another meal of mediocre, overcooked, and half-cocked alphabet sludge. Copycats speaking out fully grounded in a false matrix pounding their hollow chests against us, the Transcendentalists. Light shines even in the darkness. The New Renaissance is here.

Has this motley crew of two aligned themselves with plagiarized divinity? They’re attempting to not rewrite history, but to adhere to a playbook of prophecy piracy. These bozos are stealing a profound narrative and selling it as their own. Sound familiar? Is this yet another attempt to hold up holy relics on sale now in their own names toasted in orange Cheeto dust? My copilot looked at me in utter astonishment and agreed that I might be onto something. I wasn’t trying to convince them of some conspiracy theory that I had cooked up. Rather I was just connecting dots that already existed and once connected formed my own conclusion.

It felt like looking up at the stars on a cloudy night in the moment the wind blew the obstructions from view. Orion now fully ablaze wielding his sword lit up by freshly kissed pixie dust. The following is a slightly deeper dive as to the severity of these claims and how closely their thievery fits into the world stage playbill. Staring us all right in the eyes with its singular eye hovering above an unfinished pyramid. Their manifesto speaks volumes for those not willing to rise up against them. Beware for just over that hill is yet another oasis in an otherwise empty, lifeless desert. They’re placing bets with our own humanity.

On a hunch — a tad over a month ago — I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It took a moment, but then I saw it: the word war glaring right at me caught right in the middle of Trump’s name. I thought what I discovered about the Latin origin of the word maga was rather telling considering his modus operandi about witch hunts against him.

Directly derived from Latin, maga means witch, a female enchantress. Awhile back, I also noticed that Trump’s red maga hat had the numbers forty-five and forty-seven embroidered on the side. 4+5=9 and 4+7=11 — a subliminal message of 911. Why do I pursue these ramblings? I can’t help myself when I see these puzzles unravel.

As I’ve made quite clear, I see things coming, but this time I think we all did. Angry Orange will do anything he can muster to keep us distracted from his misgivings. Anything to keep us from focusing on his massive inclusion in the Epstein Files that he promised he would fully disclose. Even willing to go so far as brewing a catalyst that may lead to WWIII.

The design below began at 11:49 am on January 26, 2026 — one month and one and a half days before his 1:15 am ET attack. I discovered “WAR” in the middle of his name. I set the letter U as a V in Roman fashion as a callback when the letter V was used for the letter U. Spelling his name in this ancient style gives a nod back to the ages of kings and queens.

After playing a few bouts of topsy-turvy with the letters flipped around and reversed, the exercise’s dizzying array appeared to echo his social media mood swings. I’ll bet he shared many rounds of Goldschläger shots with his cronies and chased them with warmongering YMCA karaoke lyrics set on autotune. Their murders disguised as a win.

Killing Iran’s Ayatollah is being spun as a win, but no one deserves to be killed regardless of their past or future planned crimes against humanity. I say humanity because deep down we’re all human. Every single soul deserves due process. No one should be able to deal out death and judgment as they did during this attack like so many others.

Celebrating thirty-eight years of design, animation, visual effects, and friendships in contract and full-time capacities. David’s collaborations roster above represents the brands he has been trusted with to deliver solid creative, training, and consulting for nearly four decades. Also included in the matrix are the design groups, production companies, post houses, and other friendly folks that have guided him through this journey. Fueled by word of mouth, one project led to the next, and the next year after year. He was recruited by the best and ghosted by the rest. :) These relationships ranged from a couple of weeks to fourteen, even nineteen years, with The Weather Channel in Atlanta, and Georgia Museum of Art in Athens respectively. He’s so thankful to all of the incredible teams, dreams, mentors and memories.

David’s freelance collaborations range from television network redesigns and Jumbotrons to state museums and cultural centers. Thirty-eight years amounted to 88+ years of repeat business. His freelance roster includes top-tier brands like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, TNT, NBA, NASCAR, MTV Puerto Rico, NBATV, Fox Sports, New England Sports Network, Atlanta Hawks, The Weather Channel and The Weather Channel Latin America, CN8 The Comcast Network, DirecTV, Philips Arena, Russell Athletic, Little Debbie, Georgia Pacific Television, Ford, Verizon, Tandus, Adobe, Red Giant Software, Zaxwerks Incorporated, Regions Bank, Bozeman Art Museum, Georgia Museum of Art, The Madison Morgan Cultural Center, TIAA, Southern Progress, Southern Living At Home, Toolfarm, Ledet Training, and Digital Voodoo.

According to Blackmagic Design’s Case Study Customer Web Feature “Vinson’s career is the fulfillment of what desktop futurists were promising in the early 90s: the emphasis on the artist, not the facility.” At in-house agencies David guided shared creative efforts on branding and commercial execution for NBATV, The Weather Channel, Ford, Time Warner Cable, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Viking, Birmingham Southern College, The Preakness, and Paula Deen & Smithfield; video installations for Raytheon, World of Coke, The Harmon, and United States Postal Inspection Service at the Smithsonian; website lead-in animations for UPS and Universal; and corporate videos for BBVA Compass, Mohawk, Wiser, United States Postal Service, Bridgestone Corporation & Bridgestone Golf, and Southern Living At Home.

Vinson is looking forward to many more years, just a bit different. He has shifted gears in order to pursue writing historical fact and fiction as a bipolar Renaissance man. David is currently writing a three-act stage play, various film treatments, and a novella series that chronicles half a century of his mental health marathons, breakdowns, awakenings and breakthroughs. He possesses an innate passion for our mental health advocacy, recovery, and strategy and aims the spotlight on ceasing stigmas. His contributions to the mental health community garnered him two Humanitarian Awards at Skyland Trail in Atlanta during his inpatient and outpatient mental health educational explorations. There he discovered Marsha Linehan’s sage wisdom mastery of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques.

Wayfinding morality has become the modern Wild West’s high noon. We’re navigating moral pathway frameworks while enlightening logical transparency and fairness providing wisdom within the context of copyright ownership often overshadowed by the GenAI construct’s dark intentions. While corporate bean counters and their prompt engineers see the future of commerce in the “Gen-AI$$-ance,” true artists celebrate their own series of awakenings in their “Rena-I-ssance” within. We’re fueling our protective powerhouse at planetary scale while experiencing low chatter amongst the high frequencies. We’re aiming for 100% ethical transactions and striving for 0% collateral damage. We’re putting the original creators first, ending GenAI’s bullying by skipping to the head of the line. By providing toolkits like these Third Eye I Charts we’re promoting ethical transactions empowering the original creators.

The vagrant GenAI$$ance’s circumvention of ethical practices is not only damaging to the individuals whose data has been illegally mined and scraped, but it also creates a false paradigm attempting to disguise itself as a friend to all by gifting its powerful talents to the masses for a small fee to play in their decaying, immoral sandbox. This masked foe has no intention in minding its manners. Rather it continues to pursue the federal government in aiding its own data laundering schemes with zero plans to adopt morality at mass scale across all of its Large Language Models. The question that always comes to mind is did we even ask for this in the first place? This GenAI$$ance doesn’t benefit anyone but greedy shareholders. It’s time we provide moral frameworks the LLMs must follow. Think of it as a series of psychological patterning akin to daily angel cards citing truths engaging our spirit.

Christopher D’Olier Reeve (September 25, 1952 – October 10, 2004) was an American actor, film director, author, activist, and best friend to Robin Williams. The dynamic duo were first roommates at Juilliard which led to their lifelong friendship. In 1978 Reeve starred in Superman: The Movie, while that same year Robin Williams landed in his egg-shaped spaceship as Mork from Ork on Happy Days in “My Favorite Orkan.” In the fall of that same year Robin Williams and Pam Dawber arrived in our living rooms across America in Mork and Mindy. Today we remember and celebrate Christopher’s legacy. He will always be our Superman. I was quite fortunate to see both of my childhood heroes years later as an adult, Christopher at BDA Promax and Robin at The Fox Theatre as a Father’s Day gift from my A.

Christopher Reeve gave a talk one year in the late nineties at the Broadcast Designers Awards. He embodied a spirit unmatched. He truly was a super hero and super human. When my daughter was quite young she gave us tickets (via her mommy) to see Robin in Atlanta. Every moment was so fresh and new. He didn’t recycle any of his material from previous comedy tours. Both of these super folk will forever be in our hearts for they gave us the recipe to truly fly and follow our dreams. I haven’t worked a day in my life. Every day is just another chance to dream and play on my own stage, and every now and then, fly as I did when I was a child gliding, swimming through the air down the hallway while my family slept. Eventually, I shared these moments with a friend who had experienced them as well.

According to J.R.R. Tolkien lore, Gandalf the Grey died and became Gandalf the White. The Istari are actually angelic spirits, not wizards. Will the Wise became Will the White who’s not only a Sorcerer after all, he’s an angel. Vecna misunderstood Will’s intense sensitivities as weakness. They are the key to divine super powers. My Initial inclinations back in January 2023 led me to believe that Will the Wise and the code word Radagast permitting his mom’s entry into Castle Byers gave me such strong Tolkien vibes. While Vecna originated in Dungeons and Dragons canon, Will’s character traits were founded from Middle Earth tales.

After watching the first four episodes of Season 5 that dropped on November 26, I now realize I got Eleven and Will backwards. Will is the sorcerer and Eleven is a wizard. There are clear canonical D&D distinctions between the two. Wizards are taught how to develop and harness their powers. Sorcerers are born with theirs. Eleven was taught through lessons at Hawkins Lab, and Will was not. One thing I recently considered after seeing the Duffer Brothers on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show, what is Henry’s fate? Does Will find a way to fully redeem One or does he stay trapped as The Master of the Spider Throne as Vecna?

Medical docs and headshrinkers say that I am bipolar 1, schizo untrue, macro-religious with a gifted IQ. My psychiatrist looked up and posed a final question: is it imagination or manic depression? A genius is not defined by amounting excellence of thought. It has nothing to do with tests and intelligence quotients. It lies in arriving at the conclusion that they know nothing but inner knowing. Activating intuition within our imagination feeds the mind’s eye and contains zero limits. A fundamental difference exists between knowledge and knowing.

The former is achievable through the study of tomes and by listening to fossilized, tenured professors. The latter begins dividing and multiplying from the moment we are conceived. Knowledge is limited to the collective study of outdated books gathering dust. The moment a book is struck by the printer it is already outdated. Knowing is written into our DNA and is only revealed to us when we request access. Intellect is limited, but intuition, when paired with imagination, is infinite and effortless for an intellectual. Once seen it cannot be unseen.

I got his first big break in 1988 when I was introduced by Kay Farmer, my high school AP Art teacher, to Jerry Barber, inventor of the Free Fall amusement park ride, among dozens of other wild creations. Mr. Barber required an illustrator for three new ride concepts he was pitching. Jerry asked Kay if she had the time to dedicate to the project, but she ultimately passed due to other commitments. She suggested that I spearhead the project for Barber.

I illustrated multiple ride concepts along with the primary pitch for an air car ride. Mr. Barber and I coined the name of this ride the “Amphibian Air Car.” It was essentially an amphibious version of bumper cars mashed up with the Floridian swamp airboats. My renditions were realized through a combination of stenciled spray paints, colored pencils, and airbrush. I was rather fortunate working with such an enigmatic, creative genius like Jerry. Legend.

I’ve been designing hand-crafted titles supporting epic storytelling and iconic characters for eleven years. Combining my love for film, typography, and moody textural surroundings my skills have gone from blunt to well-sharpened. Last year I started a new page called “Titles v2 Villains & Heroes: Alter Egos & Alternate Realities.” I’ve added new designs as well as updates on previous explorations. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do creating them.

My original process in 2014 was from sketch to Illustrator to Video Copilot’s Element 3D and Adobe After Effects. Now I still start out with a sketch. Then I hop into Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Design to refine the design’s linework. During the third stage I work out the forms, materials, lighting, and camera work in Maxon’s Cinema 4D. Next I work out the compositing in Adobe After Effects. Finally I tighten up the color grade and final look in Affinity Photo.

Lubalin’s swashbuckling, hand-lettered sensibilities garnered him a reputation as a graphic design rebel believing that “Sometimes you sacrifice legibility to increase impact.” If we can captivate our audience allowing them to linger for just another moment or two, we have the power to plant brands into their subconscious. When not given careful enough attention, this concept backfires as it has in recent times among automotive brand redesigns like KIA.

I do wonder what he would think about the reinterpreted KIA logo. While it does possess a unique, everlasting quality, it reads as a “K” and a backwards “N.” Even Google searches for “what is the ‘KN’ car?” spread like a wildfire when it was introduced to the public. Legibility, when handled carefully, leads to longevity and brand recognition. This gift of timelessness in communication and brand recognition has the ability to grant a brand beyond immortality.

While a Renaissance stimulates, awakening the mind expanding our creativity without limits, a GenAi$$ance dulls, destroying the mind and weakening our superpowers. Relying on AI has proven to quiet our intuition leaving us with two left feet leading to rapidly decreasing IQ scores. Even big tech giants have discovered through their own research their teams are quite rapidly losing their critical thinking skills. We are now at a precipice and must choose.

The proverbial cherry on top of the zombie apocalypse, GenAi, is blazing the trail through exhausting all of the seven deadly sins in plain sight. Choosing wisely has never been more difficult for the mediocre masses. They’ve been trained by addictive immorality convincing them they now have gained actualized intelligence. The truth is that they are now further under the influence of an insidious force darkening their futures with reputation dynamite.

One afternoon while I was researching Leonardo da Vinci I did a double take. I had never noticed how similar our names were sharing so many of the same letters. I got to work and look what I’ve found: one to one connections. “Everything connects to everything else.” All it took was adding my cosmic number three to finish these connections flipping it around in Leonardo’s mirrored style. Let’s take a look at the concept of a Renaissance for a moment.

A Renaissance ushers in a golden age of awakened enlightenments of activated intuition, imagination, and intellect. Leo knew full well that: “Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind. So we must stretch ourselves to the very limits of human possibility. Anything less is a sin against both God and man.” We must remain mindful or lose our minds altogether.

Nikola Tesla fully understood the three governing powers of the universe: “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.”

He observed that: “Invention is the most important product of man’s creative brain. The ultimate purpose is the complete mastery of mind over the material world, the harnessing of human nature to human needs.” Tesla also noted that there is power and clarity found only in solitude. “Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.”

Some say there's a fine line between madness and genius. False. The line is so thin its own transparency reveals both sides exist in a molecular play of quantum entangled, geometric symmetry. They exist simultaneously along each side of the expert funambulist’s wire. This veteran tightrope walker becomes one with each step’s vibration echoing through the wire.

Upside down and right side up prove their irrelevance in these micro-moments while they gasp for oxygen. Both in between breaths and in between steps they are literally hovering in the air for split seconds at a time. They’re floating just above the momentously elevated revelations while gliding along electrified streams of flowing Yin and Yang consciousness.

Leonardo da Vinci and I hold a secret. A secret so dear, so close, so precious, so powerful deep within our hearts, minds, guts, and souls. It’s been hiding in plain sight for 527 years in his rendition of The Last Supper, and it has nothing to do with Dan Brown’s historical fiction.

Once seen, it cannot be unseen. I’ll give you a hint. It’s a mindset based on rise and shine. Christ Consciousness is alive and active. His second coming has been here all along. This divine connection belongs to everyone’s spiritual awakenings regardless of their religion.

In 1841 Edgar Allan Poe invented the detective genre with his first locked-room mystery “The Murders in the Rue Morgue.” A century later in 1939 Detective Comics introduced The Bat-man in issue #27. Edgar’s my birthday twin and 27 is my lucky number. We both spent

formative time on Sullivan’s Island and around Charleston in the South Carolina Lowcountry 163 years apart. In 2003 DC published Batman: Nevermore, starring Batman and Poe. They team up to solve a series of serial killer murders based in nineteenth-century Baltimore.

Kaitlyn Kaerhart (pronounced care-heart), Mystic, Astrologer and Author of the international best seller You Are Cosmic Code: Essential Numerology. According to Kaerhart “eleven is also associated with spirituality, creativity, and innovation.” I wholeheartedly agree with her.

“All things worth connecting to in the face of a new beginning or fresh start,” from “1111 Meaning: What This Angel Number Is Plus How To Work With It.” I believe when I’m wielding my activated intuition my mind flows freely. I haven’t had any creative blocks in three years.

“While at TWC I have hired, rehired and used David Vinson as an external vendor” who’s a known “creative professional of extraordinary talent.” He embodies “clear understanding of branding and provides solutions that work within the overall creative strategy of the brand.”

“He possesses an infectious creative energy and consistently provides an abundance of outstanding solutions for each assignment. I cannot provide a higher recommendation and if given the chance, I would not hesitate in hiring David again.” I earned longevity with TWC.

“On a hunch, I asked ChatGPT to tell me something about CEO Sam Altman that we didn’t know publicly. Looks like OpenAI’s brainchild grew a conscience or was trained to love ‘Church Chat’ on Saturday Night Live.” Enjoy this love letter written just for the Church Lady.

There was no need to even rearrange the letters for S-A-T-A-N or M-A-L-M. What is MALM? A Machined Artificial Language Model. His tech angel did miss two things. Sam’s full name, Samuel Harris Altman, is three six-letter words. 666, and AI is in his middle name, h-A-r-r-I-s.

During Process Art Therapy with Susie at Skyland Trail in Atlanta I embraced auto-drawing. She suggested that I remove my conscious self and let my mind run free. This allowed my hands to sketch without making judgments or corrections as I revealed the final illustration.

I drew a scene of myself reaching for “The Keystone.” When I graduated from Skyland they gave me a Dr. Seuss book that I had never seen before. When Susie and I saw the spread above we did a double-take. It looked exactly like my drawing. It wasn’t a coincidence at all.

There is something magical about discovering happy accidents. We revel in these precious moments when we surprise even ourselves. It’s during these occasions of clarity when we are given the final clues to discovering the hidden treasure subliminally hiding in plain sight.

When I reached my twenty-seventh year I wanted to celebrate by designing a Vinson logo variant. I didn’t consciously include the number twenty-seven within the design framework. Two instances of the number were revealed within the design through sheer synchronicity.
