Other people all bloggin about me...the hell?

So Me and my man Mickey found this blog about a piece of mine the other day. Man I'm just laughing, it's very cool indeed to feel like I'm not just wasting my time. She got every fact twisted at least a little bit, but it just feels nice to have somebody actually posting my work because they want to show it to people. I didn't really see that coming. Any way the title to this post is a link to that blog/site, hit it up talk loads of shit about how I'm fuckin dope and how you want to see some crazy in depth behind the scenes jump off, so I can hustle up some Skrilla on this beast!

Miniature Studies

I made these in order to experiment with translating a narrative into form, The book was "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote. They deal with different plots and aspects of the book, but I tried to abstract those literal situations into abstract forms that had a feeling to them.

New Rings

With these pieces I wanted to talk about how through childhood conditioning, any society contains and holds one to  certain and specific values and morals, that if unquestioned contain you. They are both sterling, the square shaped one is a two finger ring. The two finger ring I like alot because I feel it expresses how that societal conditioning isnt always visible but is, none the less, still there.

 

I believe these pieces are certainly succesfull as works of art, however the 1 finger ring is hard to wear. The two finger ring happens to be very comfortable. I wore it on a massive night out and people (Drunk Girls)wouldnt shut-up. Funny, but tiresome. The ring at first looks like a clean simple two finger ring, but when you inspect it, you get that tasty second level(meaning). Holler More stuff in the works, So stay following this beastly ass blog. Big Love.

Survive Style 5 +

To put this blunty, for Fucks sake all movies need to take notes on this Film. A whirling Surrealist spectacle, based loosley enough in reality to become incredibly relatable and touching, but not loosley enough to pay attention to pay heed to concepts like gravity, physics, or death.  Survive Style 5 + takes five 5 seemingly unrelated characters, situations, and plots to twirl them into scenes that shock, confuse, and dazzle. Written byTaku Tada, and directed Gen Sekiguchi this film manages to ask so many questions, answer a few of them, and leave the audience with just enough food for thought, so that it sticks in your head like a good hot chocolate coats your throat.  A Japanese film released in 2004, it highlights actors like Tadanobu Asano, Vinnie Jones, and Sonny Chiba  playing refreshingly obscure roles.
It feels as if Takashi Murakami, made love to Octapussy in a swingers lounge on LSD, and this film was the mind blowing culmination. Sets designed to truly a perfect level, Shots composed in a way that I hadn't ever seen before. The Acting is so spectacular that on of the five plots is played out almost entirely without words, and is at the same time touching, tragic, and hilarious. 

 The story seems composed like a parable, but one in wich the final message is undefined enough to leave space for a sense of wonder. All in all, this film really left me drooling for more, I can't say I have seen this caliber of film in a horrendousley long time. Please find and watch this film you guys.

Kehinde Wiley

Kehinde Wiley, A brilliant painter out of South Central Los Angeles. His angle on his Subject Matter is fresh to say the least. He compliments it wonderfully with a well honed love of craft. His pieces are arresting to say the least, Captivating, and stirring. His Colours are magnificent. Go to his Website and enjoy I have only posted a few works here, but he has an extensive collection of work. All of this Caliber.these pieces are massive, 6-8 feet tall, they tower over you in just another reference to classical hero portraiture, an aspect that Wiley is completely cognitive of, he actively uses these references in order to question those figures, and of course the figures he presents us, hood figures. Over all I am blown away by Kehinde Wiley, Spectacular Subject married with other worldly craft, and timed perfectly.
