The Arrival

I miss Asia...

A few days ago I went and saw the KRAZY! exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Fuckin. Kill. I'm no anime or comic book nerd or anything but it was bomb. Don't miss the big room with Akira playing on 4 walls and sofas to pass out on (made for meee). After seeing Shaun Tan's "The Arrival" at the exhibit, I went and picked it up at Chapters yesterday. This book is insanely beautiful. I don't wanna call it a graphic novel cuz it isn't like any of them. You gotta "read" it to know what I mean.

Form

Zaha Hadid shows her curves in Dubai (Dezeen), Ken Ohyama shoots concrete rivers (Pink Tentacle) and Kowloon learns the ABC's (Eye Is Lazy).

RC Gravel Peachtree Blues

I'm gonna have a bitchfit if I don't get that for Christmas.

I gottaaa eat here. And listen to Timbaland.


Aw.


BEAUTIFUL

Julian Montague didn't flush his spiders. Makes me look bad. 1 & 2

Power Music. Electric Revival.

Glamourized and ripped apart.

You wanted to hear that song anyway, so thank me later.

"It can display 16 million colours per second"

Photon boards make me wanna try an ollie again. mmaybe not yet.

Let's teach monkeys how to control robots. Just to ensure our own future. Yizzir.

I fuckin love Geekologie for the last 2 posts. Aint a damn thang.

GD's take note!

Telectroscope

I gotta see this.

We live in the time the 80's imagined. So don't ever tell me the 80's died.

Let's Rid This World Of Colour. Laws Laws Laws.

You're fuckin kidding me right? (yes this is for real)

THANK YOU.

Sneak

Missed this song so much! COS WE ON THE ATTACKKKK

Peep the suspected official "Seeing Sounds" album cover. Ironic cuz I just handed in my cd cover assignment on Monday after 2 weeks doin it. GUESS WHAT ALBUM I CHOSE?? Yes, deviantart (yea yea yea i know, amateur anime world). I know NERD was goin for an epic look, but... I don't know. Maybe it's the whole "anti-trend" trend goin on all of a sudden.

MEAN TIME, "A.K. ALL THE WAY!" DIME.


Who coined "staycation"?????
I wish I had these directing me to cheap buys. But that'd probably look more like those arrows in NFS Underground. Yeyuhhh.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Need. Tickets.

4REAL is my kinda show!!! I defnly joined the community! I watched the MIA show and was hella drawn to Kimi's story. He was pronounced dead and thrown on top of corpses when he was a kid (he wasn't really dead, just dying of starvation) and he comes back and does this?? Hero quality. Anyway, it also amazed me how they lined up for a turn on the slide. A turn on the swingset. So many things I take for granted are like dreams-cum-true in places like Liberia. Watch this show if you get the chance!

Still can't get over this vid!! (and the show!)


The Publics say: "At 23, Argentina based illustrator/designer Gianluca Fallone has already worked for brand heavyweights like Nike, MTV and the Cartoon Network. His pop-psychedelic style and knack for self-referential ad design reads like a unique blend of Kashiwa Sato and Chuck Anderson." FALLONES GOT IT GOIN OWN!!!

By the way, Sean Avery's interning where? I could see him doin Men's Vogue or GQ though.

HELL YEEEEA!! this right here epitomizes the club scene in vancouver. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction.

Cerrillo

José León Cerrillo is making art I've always aspired to create. So I'm just gonna give up.

The Moment's Ramble

Throwback. You know how I am with bmore club.

This entry was just too good to not write another entry about. Yo! Nobody asked you to ask yourself "who posts other posts?" This rubber cement isn't doin me focus much good. Now, I'm gonna pull shit out of that blog to put on my blog. Get at me plagiarism officers, I'm not citing my references properly.

"The Web is not just for pornography anymore. Now it’s where art and commerce have their first date, get engaged and formalize the nups. The Web is the space where you hear about what’s new, and then before you and your fellow fanboys can gush, it’s cycled through. Witness the phenomenon where people apologize on their blog when they’re “late” (perhaps a week) to linking something that’s floating around the trendy Web sites, as though they’ve let you down. You and their 11 other readers."

intriguing..

(photoshop disasters)
lmfao.. disclaimer: this is only 'lmfao-funny' if you've been to school for photoshop"

This kinda killed my optimism for a minute.
Sigh... ECIAD kids... Always up to no good. I wonder what would happen to all the egos of art school kids if we were all told we would never be found out. Ah, what then. I wonder if they have security on that rooftop... cuz I'm sabotaging. Penis on head.
THEY BETTER LET CAMS IN TMRW @ GLOW IN THE DARK

Navarro

Okay okay okay I'm on an art rampage. Computers + Art History = Art - History. I guess... Anyway, I had to do a presentation on Martial Raysse's Peinture a Haute Tension today and surfed into Ivan Navarro. Neon. Same thing. An artist is gonna invent the first time machine... I can feel it.

CLICK, then click Ivan Navarro. Duh..

Kehinde

Kehinde Wiley... not only can he paint portraits like the best of em, but he paints real subject matter. Why does this "disturb" and "interrupt"? Have things really changed?
