Today I played in the yard with Madison and Shadow. I love these ladies.

One of our own, Adam (Blink), will have shoes in Saturday's Atlanta installation of Sneaker Pimps. AM friends TindelMichi, Dosa (fresh off his Cut and Paste runner-up performance), and Urban Medium will be making live art, and Clipse is playing! Holy shitballs, this will be a great event.

Furry Animals

2007-09-13T15:42:00.000-04:00

One of my best and oldest (as in how long we've known each other) friends, Matt Pensworth, and his lovely wife-to-be Valerie had an engagement party. They both love their Polaroid cameras, so they set up a photobooth style room and had everyone wear animal masks for portraits. The results were awesome, and everyone had a fucking blast. A keg of Sweetwater IPA and a few bottles of tequila made things even better.

The above shot is yours truly wearing the Sam Flores zebraboy shirt. Classic, if I do say so myself. To see the rest of the shots, check out the full set at Matt's Flickr. Congrats, Matt and Val!

Hell as a Hotel

2007-09-13T14:39:00.000-04:00

Hmmmm. So I just finished No Exit by Sartre and I don't know what to say. All I could think of was how I would love to recreate the setting and do a photo shoot. One day. One day. It's an easy read, that is, if you don't mind reading about being in hell.

Remind Me to Never Go Here

A spider web was discovered that drapes 200 yards of trees, shrubs, and the ground across a trail in Texas's Lake Tawakoni State Park. Experts haven't yet determined the species of spider responsible. From the Associated Press:
"At first, it was so white it looked like fairyland," said Donna Garde, superintendent of the park about 45 miles east of Dallas. "Now it's filled with so many mosquitoes that it's turned a little brown. There are times you can literally hear the screech of millions of mosquitoes caught in those webs."

Spider experts say the web may have been constructed by social cobweb spiders, which work together, or could be the result of a mass dispersal in which the arachnids spin webs to spread out from one another.

Insane wave pool in Tokyo. Where's the water?

To me that's art, mainly because it conjures up so many questions.

Per example, if a lifeguard needs to save someone (and you know somewhere in that pool a kid is terrified they're going to die a horrible death by water) where do they dive in??? I mean do they have some crazy system where they create a tiny diving hole? You can't exactly scatter in a wave pool, much less when it's packed to the brim. How deep is the water? I don't know, maybe I just had a bad experience at Water World as a child.

Here's another idea, if someone blindfolded you and took you to this room, what do you think you'd imagine was going on?

Where can I find a copy of that cool music in the into? All valid questions.

Anyway, if anyone wants to meet up on my final weekend in Atlanta to contemplate existence and this wave pool let me know. I'm obviously delirious from packing.

Today has been a productive (blogging and driving anyway) day. However, I have failed to mention something very important. Southern rock. My favorite. I just wanted to make sure I posted this video somewhere. I'm positive I would have done a cartwheel at this point during Lollapalooza had I not been wearing a dress...oh yeah, and been restricted by a couple thousand people. Please enjoy!!!

I love the Food Network, but I have to agree with Mr. Knighton from Current TV on this one.

Recently I've been looking up words I don't know how to spell (good job Kate). Anyway I don't actually use a "dictionary" but instead type the word into Google. Now I'm not going to tell you what word I just couldn't figure out, but I will tell you that I found this site:

http://www.thehidingroom.com/thehidingroom.html

I thought I was getting bored checking out a virtual room until I clicked on the lamp and some LOST(ish) clues popped up on the ceiling. Interesting. If you've ever geeked out on Myst you might want to think about clicking on the link.

blink's top five things you can't go cheap on.

2007-05-17T11:14:00.000-04:00

1. spraypaint. Dont buy the $.99 cans. Ever.
2. Deodorant. CVS makes an equivalent to the brand i use. It actually makes you stink quicker than using none at all.
3. Drill Bits. Never buy a value pack of drill bits. Especially if you are drilling into metals.
4. Scissors. Self-explanatory.

and most importantly, being a very detail-oriented environmental graphic designer....
5. Signage.

Artist We Like - Conrad Bakker

2007-05-15T20:48:00.000-04:00

A master of interactive art, Conrad Bakker pretty much kicks ass. His projects have included fabricating a dumpster from wood taken from actual dumpsters, carving and painting consumer goods, then leaving the pieces on store shelves, and a series of paintings of eBay auction photos.

His website is quite the shizz, too:

Okay, so I've been holding off on a new blog because I wanted to post something other than a photograph. As you can see I never came up with anything so here's a photo I took last night of a fellow contributor to andmonsters, Adam Slight. Recently I acquired access to a scanner so maybe I'll load a few of my collages, etc. Feel free to contact me if there's something you know I have and you'd like to see...or challenge me with a new project.

Tangent.
