Santa Angelina

Santa AngelinaAngelina Jolie is so lovely. Not just for obvious reasons, but because she lives with such intensity.

Drawn by hand and carved out of 9×12″ black scratchboard.

In the reference photo, she’s speaking to a group of children – totally connecting with them and radiating such joy!

To me, this image is glorious, exalted. I want to redo this in a Baroque style, to do it more justice.

I Would Rather

I Would Rather

Sometimes this seems a preferable alternative to the bullshit that goes on, though of course it would be self-defeating. For someone as visually-stimulated as myself, this would be ghastly, though sometimes I would rather…

What has me agitated:

Blaming Video Games for Violence

Faith-based regulations passing

Lack of food-safety standards in China snuffing pets

Seeking a positive side… it spawned a painting.

See it larger in the Gallery and nab some Icons of it.

Wagging Interpreted

Straying from my signature style, it should be noted that the emphasis for this project was the typography, rather than image quality. Further, the image is not my own, nor was it used for profit, but for a school project.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp Typography Project

This is intriguing, the angle to which a dog’s tail wags is indicative of their mood:

  • Wagging to the Right = Happy Dog
  • Wagging to the Left = Anxious

Also gives me an excuse to post a Typography project based on my favorite Led Zeppelin song, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, which is all about the good times had with the best dog ever. That song is also not typically my style, but it’s so upbeat & fitting, for what it describes!

Corpse Flower in Bloom

Corpse Flower, aka Devil's Tongue

Amorphophallus rivieri

  • It emits a corpse-like smell when in bloom, to attract flies for pollination.
  • The flower contains both male and female flowers that open at differing durations to avoid self-pollination.
  • Varying names for this pungent plant: devil’s tongue, voodoo lily, leopard palm, snake palm. Those are the best names ever.

Georgia O’Keefe &/or Robert Mapplethorpe would have dug this flower. ;)

One must pardon the hickboy editorial tone from the source, it’s the info I’m after.

Isolated and tweaked the photo a bit, to better suit my aesthetics. Everything always looks washed out to me, I LOVE saturation, the intensity of color – the more, the better.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie

Wow, the “critics” are really relishing taking a dump on this film. Can’t you just say, “I don’t get it,” if you truly don’t? Admit ignorance. Not that it’s profound, but the issue is that they’re taking it seriously.

For MSNBC & Rotten Tomatoes to Poop On.

However, Digging the images from the Premiere :D

I plan on seeing it this weekend. For anyone that’s pondering it, GRINDHOUSE kicks ass something fierce! Rose McGowan has seriously redeemed herself as a ferocious ass-kicking chicky, a leading lady – a true femme fatale.

Violent, lurid, pulpy goodness. Again, you can’t take all art so seriously! Time permitting (and I just laaaughed), I would like to do some artwork based on some of the intense imagery of these films.

As you sit through the chicks yapping about girly shit in DEATHPROOF, I assure you, there IS a payoff. It’s worth sitting through to get the backstory and see what ensues. ;)

PLANET TERROR… It takes a lot to make me cringe, since I’ve worked at a pathology lab, but this… *gags* I adore Robert Rodriguez. :)
