Disney is buying Lucasfilm, the company behind the Star Wars films, from its chairman and founder George Lucas for $4.05bn (£2.5bn).
Disney is buying all of my childhood heroes…will it buy my dad aswell?
The Disney Corporation is monopolizing a bit of everything from fairy tales to comics and now even space aaaaAAAAHHHHH!!!!
“corporations have been enthroned … . An era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people … until wealth is aggregated in a few hands … and the republic is destroyed.”

Biutifool Beastard is a Bmx pirate and a visual mash up artist restyling and remixing the works of the Great Masters of history of art.
He makes his works slicing “mastery” paintings using his left hooked hand and then re-arranging his favourite bits all together. Doing so, he aims to create new works with new bizarre (off the wall) but in topic storylines with a freaky fancy look and a more catching visual “language” … remix to create new stories based on and inspired by old stories, to extrapolate the subjects of the paintings from their original past contexts and to throw them into new comical, grottesque, eccentric contemporary scenarios. Characters from old times meet characters from modern times and everything is possible and everything can happen like Dominque Ingres falling in love with Barbie or Serge Gainsbourg playing songs in Manet’s favourite brothel.
Biutifool Beastard pays tribute to the great masters but also he mocks them, he is a prankster and an unusual erudite chap.
His mission is to make the so called “high” art/culture more accessible for everybody, to tickle the curiosity of the indifferent, often excluded and distant public. He believes that all depends about how art is shown to people to pick their attentions and to drive them towards unexplored fields and previously undesired or obscured facts. Art is made by people. Knowledge is made by people. Culture is made by people, REMIXING FOR THE PEOPLE!
Unfortunately life is not easy for our dear friend. Biutifool Beastard respects the works of his fellow colleagues and he wishes to preserve the original paintings, he is not a vandal neither a thief. He would love to ask the permission directly to the artists but sadly they are all dead. So he uses duplications of works. Unfortunately some “copies” are protected by exclusive rights owned either by private corporations or by public/private institutions and he hasn’t got neither a cent to pay for obtaining the legal use of them, neither he has the will of doing so. Art is made by people for the people. The present is built on the past and the past can’t be priced forever. To price images, aswell as to price sounds, videos and texts, is to price knowledge and to price knowledge is not just about making it elitist but it’s also an attempt to control knowledge, to control culture. Biutifool Beastard believes that freeing arts from “the all rights reserved” helps the spreading of informations and notions and culture globally and also enriches the collective imaginary expanding its boundaries resulting in a consequent improvement of people’s life style making them more serene and happy.
Biutifool Beastard is a support campaing for the use of digital medias and the use of remix techniques into the making of art. It is also a support campaing for the Creative Commons and Copyleft licences in terms of protection of intellectual rights in matters of the creations of images, sounds, videos, texts. It is a support campaing for free culture and the freedom of sharing contents and informations without the control by corporations and private or public institution.
Rubber wonderland (Text by Dom Barra - Artwork by Dom Barra)
We live in a wonderland of commercialised freedom,
Dreams are on sale,
Happiness in a swipe,
Smiles are quickly out of season,
and our reality is corrupted.
How does it feels to be categorized?
Labels on our eyes,
Trash in our mouth,
Lies in our ears,
Stitches on our thinking.
How does it feels to be made free individuals
When what we are,
It’s what we were given by someone we don’t know
Who puts our life in a standard
Represented on a statistic diagram by a line
That goes up and down
On which they hang our independence.
Our simplicity fills their banal, sad, daily life.
Our happiness in their brief cases measured by marketing researches.
Our brains washed and manipulated to achieve private profit.
How does it feels to be held by a string
Which is attached to a balloon
That is filled with “apparent-happy non sense”,
Which seems flying well,
And flies ,
Flies towards a black hole
That leads to nowhere.
How does it feels to be the mice in the trap?
How does it feels to be enriched morally with crap.
How do you feel?
You still smiling careless!?!
You might be right,
I might be wrong.
