last night's dream

i had a dream last night that i was living in a war zone and there was this girl that was dying and i told her everything will be alright... then she died in my arms. meanwhile, a man and a woman were flying around in a helicopter and a missle hit them and the helicopter went up in flames. their skin was melting off while they had huge smiles on their faces. the man turns to the woman and says "WE DID IT! YES! WE DID IT!" they soon crashed into a parade for the new president of the war zone land. back to me in this dream, i was lost in the hotel that everyone was seeking sheltering in. hundreds of doors to rooms that were never there on a long, never ending hallway. i didn't know what to do... all the doors were locked and the bombs were exploding closer and closer... fast forward to another part of my dream.... a woman gave birth to a giant red car that looked like the red car she loves to drive.

my dreams are always strange and sometimes too fucked up to even say a loud.

thinking out loud...

i need to stop worrying about every god damn thing. it's making me go crazy and i feel it's starting to ruin something that is one of the few things i care the most about. it's hard right now for me though. oh dear...

photo booth: boredom

the other day i accidently missed my art history class so i decided to waste my time with photo booth... hah.





klaus nomi


i just finished watching the documentary, "the nomi song" which is about klaus nomi during the 1980s new wave underground scene. after watching this film my interest in him turn into somewhat a love for him. he's amazing and so bizarre, but in a strange way somewhat beautiful. he truly is a being from another world and i kind of wish he was still around...

ron pippin

one of my favorite mix media artists of today's time has to be ron pippin.
"motivated by experiences in his early life, the artist still feels the need to keep digging into the "dark material" that lies within all of us in order to reach a condition of clarity and light. he describes his work as "visual prayers" that aim for healing and "grace." his art draws on religious and mystical impulses without belonging to any church or sect. pippin feels compelled to elaborate the universe he has created by constantly making new figures to populate it."


("archangel the second" (2007), found objects, hand painted, aluminum wings with wood)


(duck skull alchemy box (2003)- skeleton parts, found objects)



("deer with piano keys" (2003) taxidermy form, hand painted wood, piano key apparatus)


("archive box 1" (1998) )

you can check out more of his stuff on his website at www.ronpippin.com

"black"

this is a short film called "black" which is created by saiman chow for the adicolor podcast series.
"this piece is the story of a demented, loveless panda told in three scenes each more astonishing than the previous. the stop motion animation is appropriately shown in black and white and features a beautiful array of patterns, textures and illustrations, some even sadistically reminiscent of sesame street."

"vincent"

a tim burton classic from around 1982. you would think disney would not release something like this, but yes they actually did and vincent price was the narrator of this morbid little short film. enjoy.
