a magazine review that reads more like a stream of consciousness

The magazine I got from Mencher was the ARTnews magazine – the December 2011 issue.  Altho you’re not supposed to judge something by its cover, I do it all the time.  It’s abstract in the way it’s designed.  It looks so watercolor or water got spilled onto something that used to be colored a bit more geometrically & now it’s running all over the place.  I like it. Since it’s an art magazine, you’re immediately blasted with images.  Altho these images are advertising for shows in various places.  A lot of the shows are high end & are located in New York.  I don’t think I could afford those.  However the Smithsonian “Black List” show featuring black figures of higher standing who have achieved things in art, sports, politics, activism, business, & wherever else sounds like something I would’ve went to if I was around Washington DC.  But the magazine on the whole is just like a fashion magazine, filled with tons & tons of a...

my favorite art-related tumblrs

Image
So I normally frequent the various blogs of tumblr.  This shouldn’t come as a surprise to you, since I’ve been cross-referencing tumblr for various things.  My Africa Express superpost was built of primarily tumblr sources; Project Unbreakable started on tumblr & is updated quite frequently on there; all my stuff from The Fall was from tumblr; I referenced like nearly all Fringe tumblr blogs; hella videos I post I watched first on tumblr.  No but seriously tumblr is really important for me like in all aspects.  That one colorblind / coloraware post was originally going on my main tumblr blog, but then I posted it here.  But yeah I look thru tumblr for nearly everything: Giants baseball [ ESPECIALLY AFTER TONIGHT OMG WORLD SERIES] ; Fringe & other tv shows I watch; pretty graphics on those tv shows; political discussions & all things politics; jokes & funnies; photography; & also art.  However, like I’ve said in class, I’m drawn mos...

San Francisco Time Lapse (Empty America)

Image
What would happen if San Francisco was empty of its people?  All the locals & tourists alike.   This video sheds some light on that.  It’s a pretty surreal thing.  A must see.  Also there's a shout-out to the ballpark so that's always a good thing. & also here's the Making Of, because I certainly was curious as to how this was made.

every kanye sample ever

this was made before my beautiful dark twisted fantasy, unfortunately tho because that's my fave This was also fabulous to watch Get over your racist beliefs that hip-hop & rap are "lesser" genres Craft goes into this Skill goes into this You need as much, possibly even more, cultural capital to make a stand in this business & even if you dislike him for personality reasons [T-Swift needed to be told off; her white creys little rant can't sustain her because she is the embodiment of white patriarchy & internalized sexism & she needs to be torn down immediately], you cannot deny the skill Also if you can uphold white artists stealing from each other in the Renaissance by creating all different sorts of Last Judgments but saying “oh but they’re just using the same imagery & they’re being inspired by each other it’s not really stealing,” then you can recognize that sampling is along the same lines is that

the fall

Image
the fall is beautiful but the fall will hurt you with its beauty & its acting - especially the main character / actress catinca untaru in order to get the shots needed, catinca needed to react in real-time to events lee pace [other main actor] was put in a wheelchair in order for catinca to truly believe that roy / lee could not walk later she finds out that he CAN walk, but that’s not the point the point is that SHE fleshes out the story between her REAL encounters with lee pace; like everything is a coloring book & she fills out all the colors with her imagination & lee pace, like the champion of an actor that he is [who will be the Elvenking in The Hobbit now omg so excite], is able to adapt seamlessly like not many people can just improv on the spot to cater to catinca’s every thought; not many can say that they can do such a thing & then there are the fantasy scenes - the visual porn that really make the movie one of my f...

project unbreakable

Image
Again with the intermittent internet so I apologize that I haven’t been making a lot of posts Photographed in Delaware, OH on September 25th. Project Unbreakable:  projectunbreakable As you know [or as you should know, if you keep yourself in a shroud of ignorance & sunshine where nothing bad ever happens & we’re all in a post-everything society where everyone is equal & everything is perfect], we live in a rape culture – a culture that not only normalizes rape, but sometimes even encourages it. Anyone who isn’t a cis male lives in fear of walking down the street, but especially cis women catch the eyes of sexual predators [because let’s be real, most cis men are attracted more to women who fill out more binary standards of beauty.]  They don’t even have to be men who force you into a car.  They’re the men who cat call you as you walk down the street.  & follow you.  & beg for you to talk to them.  & don’t leave y...
