Too cute!


So pretty much I suck at keeping my blog updated, but that's okay I'm sure no one minds. I really don't even have much to say right now infact. I guess I'll start with a Happy Belated 420! Hope you all had an excellent day givin a little love to our green friend. Sarra and I went down to the VAG with Trent and Stu, and I must say it was awesome! Well it got pretty awesome after we found a spot in the sun to put our blanket. The sunshine really loves stoners because it was supposed to be overcast all day but then it got nice and sunny for 4:20 and the same thing happened last year. Thanks Mother Nature(probably a fellow stoner herself)! We had our blanket right in front of a tent selling bongs for $10 and pipes for $5 and of course Stu and I both got sucked in to getting bongs. I mean for $10 you can't really go wrong, plus mine is a sweet ass/slightly creepy wizard standing next to a tree and Stu got a little, what we thought was a water bong with a monkey skull on it. People were of course selling other things such as butter, hash, brownies, you name it. Going down to the VAG for 420 is super crowded, is all the way down town, and I know there are a million other reasons not to go. But if you really enjoy your cronic and support legalization then you might wanna think about getting your ass down there next year! The more people the better, you need to go out and support. Even if chillin around home with your friends sounds more fun, it won't acomplish anything(but getting super high).
Anyways here is a super cute work by Brock Davis found on booooooom of course! It's artist's like Davis that make me not want to be an artist cause theres no way I could come up with shit as creative as that. But, luckily, the world of art is a HUGE place and I'm sure there will be room for me even without becoming an artist.

It's that time again!


SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!! or well Spring at least. Yesterday I finished up my semester with two exams. It sucked that they were both on the same day and the first day of exams because it made studying for them crazy. But now that their both over I feel liberated! To make my mood even better the sun is shining and there are boats in the bay (well not today but on the weekend it was stacked). Summer is coming and for the first time this year I can feel it. Twins trips, Belcarra hiking, and spending the day on the water are all on the way! Break out the sun tan lotion and get ready to hit the beach, we'll be there in no time.

P.s The image above is one of my final drawing projects. We had to do a grid drawing and some how distort the image. I love how it turned out so I felt the need to share. The original image is of the one and only Sienna Miller.

OMG OMG OMG!!!

So I just found out that one of my all time favourite children's book, Where The Wild Things Are, has been made into a movie! I can't even tell you how beyond excited I am for this. The trailer looks awesome and I will for sure be bawling my eyes out during this movie. It looks like it will be such a visually stunning flick. Hopefully it all comes together and the movie turns out to be as good as it looks. If so it will probably have to be one of the few movies I'll actually purchase. I'm really excited for the wild rumpus and the tree swinging scene. From the looks of the trailer it seems like they added a bit more context into the story, which is pretty nessesary for turning the small childrens book into a feature film. The movie isn't out till October which freaking sucks because I will be travelling the world and probably won't be able to make it to a theater to see it! You all will have to go for me and tell me how it is!

Yeeeeeeeeah! One more term paper out of the way

So on Monday I handed in my term paper for Art History! I was super stoked on this paper because we got to chose any work of art after 1400 that wasn't in our text book. Oh the choices! I pretty much could have written at least 5 or 6 different papers but instead just worked my ass off on one. I chose to do a painting by John William Waterhouse, a late Victorian Romantic painter who fuses classical style with pre-raphaelites style. The work Hylas and The Nymphs is pretty damn badass if I do say so myself.
Hylas, who hung out with the most well known hero in Greek mythology Hercules (after killing Hylas's father he took the boy in as his own son and lover), was sent to grab some fresh water while stopped on an island. Hylas, who was young, hot, and had a bangin bod, caught the attention of a group of water nymphs. They were so intrigued by his beauty that they wanted him for themselves and dragged the poor kid into the water where they drowned him.
Waterhouse loved to paint femme fatales and he really had a knack for it. Even though we know what's about to happen, that these nymphs are about to take a life, you can't bring yourself to blame them for it. There is an innocence in their eyes that makes you think they can't help what their about to do and almost regret it. Damn I could go on forever about this work (I already did for 4 pages) but I'll try to cut it short. All in all I love the mystical feel the work has and dig Waterhouse's style. Enjoy!

Brain exploding awesomeness

While checking out Booooooom the other day, I came across these freaking sweet hand drawings by an artist named Andy J. Miller. I really dig his whimsical style and creativity. I would looove to live in the blue and orange house cause it pretty much looks like the sickest pad ever! Check out the rest of his works here. So many crazy talented and inspiring artists out there it's like heroin for the eyes. Enjoy!

I CALL BULLSHIT!

So I don't know how many of you out there watch ABDC (America's Best Dance Crew) but Quest crew just took the title for season 3. WTF America?!?! Yeah Quest crew is dope (I loooove Hok and Dtrix) but Beat Freaks killed them all season. PLUS it's about time a girl group won and BF's represented and pulled out all the stops. They should have freaking won and I'm really pissed off that they didn't. I'm also mad because for some reason it wasn't PVR'd, stupid technology. That is all for now, congrats Quest (even though you should NOT have won!)

Art work of the day.

The Lovers by Rene Magritte is a wonderfully haunting image of two lovers with their heads covered. Their are two versons painted of The Lovers, one above with the hooded figures making out and the second below with their checks touching. What makes these images even more disturbing is that surrealist painter Magritte was greatly influenced by his mother's suicide. She was found drowned in the Sambre River with her head wrapped in a nightgown. Now theirs an image to haunt a child for the rest of their life! I love the intoxicating darkness of these two works, enjoy!
