modern expressionist artist: Edvard Munch

















great artist. love this guy! i guess his most famous and widely recognized piece is that one of the dude screaming, it just displays such extreme emotion,and at the end of the day. thats what your art work should do.

sand castles smh @ tha randomness



i have gone to the beach dozens of times. just like everyone i else i play in the sand, try to dig a really deep hole, or bury someone but i was always perplexed when i saw a sand castle with fine details. either on TV or in person. i would always wonder how they did it. it just occurred to me that there is bound to be a video on youtube showing how its done. i checked it out and the key is lots of water, then you can shape it any way you want. it works best if you have a spray bottle. here a re a couple of cool ones ive seen

just my opinion

so i was just looking at some fashion ads and i came across this one for an Armani Prive dress

i liked it for the most part. the only thing that bothered me was seeing her shadow. it seemed so unnecessary. when i was interning at harlemLIVE (an online youth media program to put it shortly) i learned that when you cast light from different angles of a subject you can get rid of a shadow. now when i see photos its something i notice. now don't get me wrong not all shadows in pictures are bad but i just dont think it works for this photo.

i smell a new project : ]


i been thinking of designing a shirt or sweater with large designs that resemble finger prints. im still deciding on the material and if it should be 1 finger print or many. if i draw it out and it looks chaotic i will leave it with 1.
the art that sparked this piece i found in an art gallery i really like over on spring street. its called gallerynine5. they never disappoint me. either they have work out that i just cant take my eyes off or the story behind the inspiration of the piece is amazing or lol the artist has a really interesting persona.
i caution u the art hat inspired me isnt the best but i found something in it that intrigued me. isnt that what counts????

#now playing

im checkin it out. after playin it a few times i will give u he verdict. i hope she delivers some hot shit because i expect nothing less from such a soulful goddess.

author of the year


last year i was fiend for the twilight series. this years obsession is dan brown. author of the da vinci code, angels and demons, deception point, the lost symbol, and digital fortress. oddly enough i read them all but the da vinci code. this is only because i started with the second book and i couldn't go backwards. i mean this man has it all super action packed, romance(not over bearing for you guys out there), witty(like every other page u jus wanna hop on google a research something he mentioned or look up a word he used). he makes some very strong statements about religion. the suspense is another plus. to say it simply reading his books takes you on a journey through many perspectives. now the moveis on the other hand are cool but do the books no justice.

well thats that, i dare u not to pick up 1.
