Inti Caca and the other 27 survivor's set foot on Inka soil by Artist Tony Trowbridge.

Tapestry of the Inka warriors setting off to meet Inti Caca.
EXRACT from INTI CACA'S Journal:
I am on my knees choking on the black acrid smoke that is funnelling down the corridor, when I get lower I can just about gulp in some much needed oxygen.
The Klaxons klax. flashing lights flash it all helps to confuse me as I paniKK.
I am searching for a bolt hole somewhere that may afford me some safety. I feel the panik, it is alive consuming me. I am close to comatose shut down,
I am running blindly, I smack my head off a stanchion, career into a distraught servitor and get all tangled up in it's flaying arms.
I push it aside, I am now swearing profusely and choking,
At last I find a locker room and fumble with the chemical tag id thanking god it was not an iris ident.
I literally throw myself in gulping down lung busting amounts of oxygen, even before I have stopped sliding, skin suits are leaping toward me, the first completely engulfs me,the others bounce off and disappointed go back to their designated locker spaces, I am now cocooned, safe. even a direct nuclear hit on the ship would not kill me. I would be ejected into cold space where my suit will try to keep me alive but eventually I would Starve. Sometimes it's better to be fried instantaneously but not today, today I live.

Sacsahuaman tapestry discovery by Artist Tony Trowbridge.

Historians are trying to ascertain the authenticity of the oldest yet found tapestry depicting the birth of the Inca empire.
Doctor Fiona Mcneil from the Californian Institute of Inca Tribes has put forward a strong case, whereby the Tapestry could well be showing us the walk made by Inti Caca and the other twenty seven survivors from the great battle in the sky.
There are twenty eight figures with pictographs of the amazing materials, tools, and weapons that they brought with themselves on that first fateful encounter with the pre Inca tribes.
26x36 mixed media/acrylic on recycled plastic board, hand stretched and ripped natural cotton.

Sculpture of Boobies by Artist Tony Trowbridge.


Found Driftwood painted in pink acrylic 12x6inches approx.
I have a friend Jim Bemis a very talented artist who sells very well in several high end galleries notably nudes and seascapes.
Surprisingly he has taken to this sculpture and wants it in his studio in exchange for one of his paintings which is great for me because I could not afford to actually buy one.

el dios del sol negro by artist Tony Trowbridge

EL DIOS DEL SOL NEGRO (the black sun god) depicted in textiles found in Inca graves. A warlike God who has spent the past several millennium hunting down and ritually killing the Daughters of the Sun God.
The banishment of Queen Quelantra from Ollantaytambo in 50AD was the precursor to this war waging, her refusal to leave Earth led to the 50 year siege of Ollantaytambo and final death of the queen.
Before Queen Quelantra's death she was able to piggy-back her complete DNA with all her memories into the Collective consciousness of the human species which is programmed to be released randomly into future females, so ensuring the Sun Gods lineage on the Planet.
