A second year Design & Technology major at San Francisco Art Institute. I love to think up improbable projects, bake cookies, read stories, paint, photograph, design, and travel.
As summer begins here on the east coast, I think its high time to take another look at the things that I adore at this point in time, the last update on this being the end of March!
Sometime this summer while I am on this coast I will be going down the cape, hopefully to Provincetown, one of my favorite places ever!
Sailboats! Since I am soon to be getting a tattoo of this one!
True Blood, an HBO show about vampires set in Louisiana, a little tacky and such but so addicting, the second season just started!
One of the best things about being back east for a little while is my glorious reunion with my best friend of many years, she goes to school in Chicago now and so we don’t get to see each other unless we are both back home.
I FINALLY saw “Vicky Christina Barcelona” and fell in love, I want to go to Barcelona now! Its an awesome movie that I highly recommend.
In this week of the weird an wonderful we are going on a magical journey through all that was strange in the recent past, including Garfield, and Ocean’s 11…with Muppets.
1. Garfield Minus Garfield, this site takes a look at the sad life of Jon when Garfield is taken out of the comic. Pretty amusing, in a weird, sad sort of way.
2. “Henson’s 11″, to weird and perfect, whoever made this had way to much time on their hands.
3. We already knew that Japan was a strange place, but take a look at this commercial for bananas…
4. Jack in the Box is notorious for its wacky commercials, especially its commercials that mock other fast food competitors commercials, this one is airing a lot lately and its making fun of the BK commercial about their new mini burgers…its pretty weird and funny.
In this week of the weird in wonderful, we will be exploring children’s TV, Jackson Pollock and more!
1. Its recently come to my attention that the show Dinosaurs that I watched as a child has an entire episode where the characters are clearly taking drugs and its pretty blatantly obvious! Now I can’t tell if this is more hilarious or disturbing, but you can see for yourselves…
2. If you ever wondered how Pollock did it…clearly spaghetti is the answer, learn how to paint like Pollock! See kids, anyone can make art! Hurrary!
3. This site is along the lines of LOLcat, except er…with babies, entitled “Why The F Did You Have A Kid“, once again another fine line between funny and just plain disturbed.
4. Why the heck is Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys playing with Rush??? Well I don’t know, quite weird! Though secretly I really like this song.
5. Manbabies..well I think this one probably speaks for itself.
Well okay, so weekly digs and things I love are awfully similar, but weekly digs focuses more on news articles, and well… I don’t care, here is some great stuff in this weeks news.
I’ve been neglecting this poor little blog, but its not my fault, I swear! It was my birthday, on the 10th, then I flew home to spend a few days in MA, flew back, and naturally got really horrendous sick with some sort of flu for like a week. After that I’ve been swimming under a sea of school work and projects. So its been hard to find time to blog! Here are some things that I love lately!
First and foremost…I’m going to Disneyland!!! On April 11th as a late birthday present! I am so so SO excited.
Sunshine Cleaning…I can not wait to see this!
This super zen game thingy.
This is pretty beautiful, however I don’t really like the music they use, try syncing it up with “The Young Machines” by Her Space Holiday, much better!!!
How insanely beautiful does this look? This is Holi, the festival of colors in India, you can see more images here. Or learn more about it here. I really want to travel through India someday, and this is something I definitely want to see in my lifetime!!
Greece, seriously, I know I wont come into any money, but if I did and I could travel this summer, I would want to go to Greece, it just looks so beautiful!
Text based art and posters…some great inspiration can be found here. I am getting some great ideas for some new typography and text based art!
In this week of the weird and wonderful I have stumbled onto some pretty strange things, some wonderful, some not so wonderful…some too weird to actually classify and I thought it would be fun to share with you the odd things I’ve come across lately!
1. Cards that make noise! (My mom and dad are the best! Thanks for sending me such a cute and strange card).
2. Elton John is making a movie…about Aliens…living in the 19th century. Yeah. Read all about it.
3. Fitti found toilettes sitting out in the Tenderloin…you can read his post he’s pretty funny.
4. A woman purposely had octuplets…the whole thing is more than just a bit screwy if you ask me. And apparently people think she’s obsessed with Angelina Jolie?
Welcome to the first episode of what I like to call “College-Land Oddities”, crazy stories and videos from the land of art school. This weeks episode features my roommate an I, the night before our big design project final was due, we both had colds and like to blame the insanity on the various cold medicines we had taken. Also please note that while we joke about Hello Kitty going to Ruby Skye and doing drugs, and about the crack deals we see going on in the ghetto…we do not in any way condone the use of such substances =P enjoy!!
