Over The Edge...

I saw and noticed something tonight about the current world of art that really pushed me over the edge and makes me bite my hand off in anger. If you want to know what it was, talk to me.

ANYWAYS as of 1.16.08:

I am working hard...

I put together a nice comfortable chair in my studio...

I have been sketching some crazy thoughts and concepts...

I have been thinking about how school re-starts on Tuesday of next week. I am already kind of freaking out even though I am over-prepared.

I have been watching (unwillingly) American Idol.

That pretty much sums up what has been happening as of late.

*********

Things I want to do right now:

Put together a group show somehow of people who feature women in their art...friends, new friends, anyone?

Lets see what happens!

Celebrity Series

I have a new personal series comming up soon called *The Hollywood Effect* which will be a series of posters featuring my "favorite" celebrity train-wrecks/anti-role models/trashy a**holes. Here is the first blossomings of a statement:

"Hollywood is a definition for dissillusion. In the past hollywood starlettes used to be considered glamorous role models and heros for a depressed society. Now, celebrities represent our current accepence of ignorance and tastelessnes. We worship these women, we love their social lives, we want to be rich like them, we are obsessed with them. However, these stars are a reflection of the decline in moral and social values in society today. We let our children consume their perfumes and products, we allow our children to aspire to them, we allow ourselves to treat them like talented rock stars. The truth is that our society is so numb to the media that we have no idea how absolutely revolting these people really are. Because they are celebrities we allow them to influence us. Should we let them get away with it?"

Does this make sense?

I need to refine it but my idea is to create a series of rock style posters to show them glorified but really go all out on the disgusting traits of these celebrities I chose. I want these posters to be an anthem to the death of moral values in celebrity/media culture/role models. Maybe even these stars to take notice of them because I am going to try and make them as viral as possible. I really want these to be a message to people.

My vision for this is huge. I just hope I don't get distracted.

Let me know what you think of this idea.

Canada V.S Brooklyn

Here is a lovely picture my little cousin took of us at The Water Street Restaurant when some of my Canadian relatives came to visit my family in Brooklyn.



Thats a lot of sparkling water on the table.

Still on a Break...

I am still on a break until Janury 22nd. I haven't been creating that much new artwork. Things aren't finished in my new studio yet.

The days have consisted of:

-Guitar Hero III for a billion hours on *hard* because I am a huge nerd and I am already sick of Bioshock
-Working out at the gym excessivly
-Selling old crap on EbAY for $$$$$ because I am a starving art person
-Taking Bandit for long horrible walks in the freezing cold
-Trying not to think too much
-Drinking lots of coffee for no reason because I don't really need to be awake

Anyhow, as 2008 rolls on in a have 2 big events to look foward to, well 3:

1. TRIP TO JAPAN! (this is the most exciting thing ever!)
2. Graudating...
3. Being 22 years old and toasting to my existence

So I'll send you my regards while I am sipping Sake and wearing a Hello Kitty hat with a bunch of Japanese school girls in Tokyo...meanwhile blasting all my hard earned cash in a Kawaii shopping spree!!!
