James Jean

I really enjoy a lot of James Jean's work(when it's not too anime-ish) and have considered applying to School of Visual Arts in NYC for graduate school mostly because he went there. I particularly am drawn to this piece he did, if there's any drawing/painting that represents the technical quality I hope to achieve someday with my work, it's this one. Flawless.

I think I captured Chris' essence pretty dead-on, he's not even posing in the second picture.

Polka dots

"A polka dot has the form of the sun which is a symbol of the energy of the whole world, and also the form of the moon which is calm. Round, soft, colorful, senseless and unknowing. Polka dots can't stay alone, like communicative life of people, two and three and more polka dots become movement. Our earth is only one polka dot among a million stars in the cosmos. Polka dots are a way to infinity. When we obliterate nature and our bodies with polka dots, we become part of the unity of our environment. I become part of the eternal, and we obliterate ourselves in Love...Humans are not merely tiny worms even in the vast, eternal universe. They constitute an infinite net of shining polka dots. By Self-Obliteration of myself as a polka dot, my soul will go through incarnations and turn into one of the eternal polka dots in the universe."

Feeling a bit moody...

Me and Chriss came out of our rooms the other day to go grocery shopping and were both dressed like this, we really were I swear.





She ended up changing though cause it was just too silly

Dear Ed,

Okay, so is it weird that I will forever have a thing for Ed Harris? He's such a consistently amazing actor, always playing the role of the super logical and serious man with remarkable morality and principle....and often wearing a headset of some sort. Let's take a look back...


One of his many famous lines from Apollo 13, YOU TELL THEM ED:



Or the Truman Show, I'de say those eyes at 1:29 definitely give that epic Philip Glass song a run for its money as far as intensity is concerned:



And WHO could forget his role in the movie "milk money" as a an avid environmentalist and widower who falls in love with a prostitute? Not me Ed Harris, I'll never forget. I have yet to see "Pollock" but I have the studied the artist throughout the last few years in school and can't imagine anyone more perfect for the role of that ridiculously talented wino.



On a more serious note, check out this amaaaazing Truman Show/Cable Guy mash-up I am somewhat shamefully sharing from one of my late night YouTube search binges, the genius behind the creation of this is no doubt my future ex-husband.




And I guess while we're on the subject of intellectual white bald men, I should say that I have rediscovered recently how talented Moby is and have been listening to a lot of his music lately. I remember when MTV featured him on "Cribs", the crib before him was NFL player Clinton Portis who had a "fun" room with "glowing beds, mirrors on the ceiling, and a red hot tub and a fireman's pole". Moby's crib consisted of him telling MTV that he didn't own a television and then spending 10 minutes sitting on his bed giving them an extensive tour of his vintage chess set, I believe somewhere between the knight and the rook is where "the magic happens".
