Instead of actual, you know, video stuff we talked about/watched pictures of urban art in Video II class today, and it was so very awesome. I have always found urban art, and stencil especially to be incredibly fascinating - the anonimity, the risk, the illegality of it, the outright challenge to authorities and the mix of social message with pure ( Read more... )

OKAY, THIS IS THE FANDOM MASH UP OF MY DREAMS. ZOMG. ;LSDKJF.

James Jean, my all time favorite illustrator, did a pin-up style portrait of Sally Jupiter for the Watchmen movie. SO AWESOME. SO HOT. I usually like James Jean's fantastic style better, but I can so make an exception for this one. Because official or not, DUDE! JAMES JEAN DREW FANART ( Read more... )

We'll be going downtown tomorrow during Hystory of Mexican Graphic class to see José Clemente Orozco's murals. I'd be excited about it if I hadn't stared them until me eyes bled (okay, I exagerate, but) during my senior year of high school for a giant project in Art History. Oh well, it's better than class, I guess. And speaking of which, last ( Read more... )

Comment on this post. I will choose 6 interests from your profile and you will explain what each of them means (and why you're interested in them).

snubullownsyou asked me about these ones:

Alphonse Mucha: My absolute favorite painter, in any period. All of his paintings are so fluid and colorful and dreamy and absolutely stunning - this man's work is ( Read more... )

First of all, have you seen mon_starling's new illustration? It seriously took my breath away, and I would've loved it from an artist's point of view even if I didn't fangirl Carl Barat in the way I do.

( This cut is filled with pretty stuff I bought the other day )

OMG you have to take a look at this. kitsche is an illustration journal that this girl started at January, an illustration a day. It is SUPERB. Everything I wish my art could be - spontaneous, dreamy and free (it kinda reminds me of circusbunny's art, although hers is much better done). Apparently the project has gotten so popular that she'll be actually published ( ( Read more... )

Remember that art rec corner I wanted to do a while ago? Well, bring it on, babe!

Nati is an Italian artist that I found through devArt.com. I've never really had any contact with her, but I've been a fan of hers for a while now. The first drawing of hers I ever saw was The Crow Child, and to the date, it's still my favorite ( Read more... )

I watched Irreversible yesterday, a French movie starring Monica Belucci (yes I do know she's italian kthnx) and Vincent Cassel. It was really good, but oh God, how did I cringe. It's told backwards, and it starts with the camera going round and round in circles, and it gets quite dizzy. Then I kinda wanted to be sick with a really, really violent ( Read more... )

I never thought the day would come when I would say 'There was TOO MUCH boy-kissing', but it has. *is sad*

I saw this gay mexican movie today, El Cielo Dividido, which, in essence, is not bad. As a short film, I would've loved it. As a written short novel, I would've idolized it. As it is, though, a fucking 2 hours and a half hours long movie, it ( Read more... )
