Blue-collar Garage Mechanic DNA Upgrade

I am multi-media artist TJ Richter, the human comic book, here to say: everyday upgade your DNA like some blue-collar garage mechanic installing a kNowledge Oxide fuel injection system into his own body cavity...and here we see the individual who improves themselves through education and getting their teeth cleaned, also at the end of the week gets to party. kNowledge Oxide, it's good for the motor, BRUM! It's good for the mind, SSSsss...Thank you so much for listening to me because right now I feel so alive, like some newly-born sea-monkey just wriggleing in the plasma, gushy-goo!

The Real Mechanic: Upgrade Navy Dave

The inspiration for this picture came from my good friend, "Navy" Dave Nastal. Dave is a blue-collar union pressman for Weber Printing, a family-owned printing company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. One day, Dave left a message on my voice mail speaking in short, robot-like spurts like a Cro-Magnon man/machine, "Every day I will study, I will improve my mind. I will work harder, I will work smarter. Every day I will build a better Dave, GIR!"
