Blast From the Past

When I was younger this show would creep me out,
Its pretty funny to me now.  


As the wheels turn in life sometimes I share enjoy a nostalgic song from a past moment in time.








Every time I've been to New York its been a special moment for myself.  Im going back, not just to visit.


"I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is."

Blast from the past

A long time ago in a class, a teacher said, "Reflect back to your childhood art or tangible objects to find inspiration or a different view on your art."



Object: Boomerang from Africa

I believe cultural references, quotes, and symbols can be very interesting to research.  They tie together people as a whole to identify with.  Every human on the face of the earth has some type of cultural origin in time and space.

A foundational approach on a clear but complex shape

Tools:
1) Digital Recorder
2) Pencil & Paper

Objective:  To capture a real time experience in sight and sound for anyone in the world to relate to.  As an art student I think its an incredible tool to record how one see's themselves in time and space.  I guess any art student could agree it's an interesting process?  A psychiatrist once told me, "Your truths are not my truths." ...after explaining how I lost a dear friend to a tragic car accident in the past.  Each student has their own individual way of expression.  Some write, some preform, some sing, some dance, some paint, some draw, and some animate.  My aim on for this particular idea came from the word "universal".

To fix this compositional approach:
1) More developed drawing(s)
2) Maybe capturing a coherent & complete idea








Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

"I'd like to continue a dialogue"


Im considering myself a gear in a larger equation that I never knew exsisted

When there's genuine interest/passion behind a path you choose in life, doors seem to open everywhere.

When a vast majority of your childhood was filled with detailed drawings, apply the techniques, processes, and media you find suitable.  Clocks parts? authenticity? rule books? beauty? conciseness? followings? Grammatical errors? I think I just felt a firework go off in my mind.

Tools of continuation

Once upon a time I wrote to myself, "Sometimes you have to throw a penny into the ocean to see what you get in return."

This week the case was throwing a few pennies "across" a few oceans.






Hong Kong (x2) + Thailand +  Singapore + Republica Moldova = ^_^

and the process continues...

So the story goes...


About a year ago I proposed an artist series to the company KidRobot.  I thought it was a genius depiction of how digital media plays a key role in contemporary society as a whole.  Money, SMS, stress, rock n roll, 80-90's horror movies, cigarettes?  Different strokes for different folks I guess?  I'm taking a step back and approaching the beast in a new way, of coarse all in fun.  "Where's my chocolate milk?"

Aspirations


Belief on a high level is always challenging to sustain, I've found out it's very possible.  In addition, I've only met a few "real life" heros in my time I can identify with at a very respectable level.  Composure, accomplishments, perseverance, loyalty and style anchor time.  There are heros all around us, then there are expectations, demands, and emulation.  Angel is one I have yet to meet.

"Perseverance can be found in ordered numeric accumulation." 

I don't find too much value in a day unless there's a continuation of productivity in the previous ones or promises of productivity in the close ones to follow.  Thats the importance of a daily planner.  Actions and ideas are two separate entities.

Brothers in the Night


Hwy 100 to the Hamptons









We don't hold onto a lot but what we do hold onto makes all the sense.  You've always treated me like a brother.  Seasons shape to connect us both in a cold world.  I know your going to make it & I couldn't be happier, you deserve it. 
Hey more band murch the better, right? You'll show all the disbelievers.  I'll be the first to toast at the sign on party, keep shining diamond.
