Can't You Read The Sign?
And the sign said everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray. But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a penny to pay. So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign. I said thank you Lord for thinking about me, I'm alive and doing fine.

Shinichi Maruyama's Water Sculptures.
Shinichi Maruyama was born in 1968 in Nagano. Japan. He studied at Chiba University and worked as member of Hakuhodo Photo Creative as well as a freelance photographer from 1992-98. While in Japan the artist traveled frequently to Tibet to complete two photography books about the Spiti Valley region, The Spiti Valley, and Spiti.
In 2003 he moved to New York City and began work on what would become his Kusho series (translated as "writing in the sky"). Completed in 2006, the series is comprised of graphic, abstract images of sumi calligraphy ink and water captured as the liquids collide and combine in mid-air. Influenced by the artist’s lifelong interest in calligraphy, this series has received critical attention worldwide and resulted in a solo exhibition held at the Bruce Silverstein Gallery in 2009. In 2010, the artist completed his second series, Water Sculptures, featuring images of water forms caught in mid air, with their accompanying shadows and reflections upon the ground. Shinichi Maruyama is represented exclusively by Bruce Silverstein Gallery, New York. The Peabody Essex Museum will display the artist's work in May 2011.

Get Out There - David Sackville
Logo concept I originally started for the Get Out There initiatve for the Queensland Government in Australia. Revisited 6 months later for fun and this is the result. The client ended up not going ahead with the branding side of the website as they felt it was “too out there” and we had to use government styling across the entire thing. - D.S.

Today, modernity requires that each of us navigate a blizzard of information. How this maelstrom of data is interpreted and synthesized constructs an individual’s paradigm. However, the qualities of the data are subject to a Catch-22: while the data works to describe an individual’s paradigm, an individual’s paradigm likewise works to describe the data.
With so much accessible information, yet so little certainty, are our interpretations of the world more complex or confused, more varied or more refined? Is the course of progress more accessible, or more elusive?

Andy Warhol Interviews Alfred Hitchcock
Warhol Interviews
Hitchcock
This conversation that appeared in Interview Magazine in September 1974 doesn’t offer any great insights into filmmaking, but for what it lacks in informativeness it makes up for in novelty.
The meeting of these two icons of the 20th century is particularly significant, as each bridged high art and popular culture in unique intriguing ways. While on the surface it may seem like a odd pairing, they both share many things in common. Warhol and Hitchcock both started out as illustrators. Warhol had started his career working as a commercial illustrator, Hitchcock had started out creating illustrations for title cards in silent movies. Of course Andy and Alfred were also both film directors.
Andy Warhol: Since you know all these cases, did you ever figure out why people really murder? It’s always bothered me. Why.
Alfred Hitchcock: Well I’ll tell you. Years ago, it was economic, really. Especially in England. First of all, divorce was very hard to get, and it cost a lot of money.
Andy Warhol: But what kind of person really murders? I mean, why.
Alfred Hitchcock: In desperation. They do it in desperation.
Andy Warhol: Really?….
Alfred Hitchcock: Absolute desperation. They have nowhere to go, there were no motels in those days, and they’d have to go behind the bushes in the park. And in desperation they would murder.
Andy Warhol: What about a mass murderer.
Alfred Hitchcock: Well, they are psychotics, you see. They’re absolutely psychotic. They’re very often impotent. As I showed in “Frenzy.” The man was completely impotent until he murdered and that’s how he got his kicks. But today of course, with the Age of the Revolver, as one might call it, I think there is more use of guns in the home than there is in the streets. You know? And men lose their heads?
Andy Warhol: Well I was shot by a gun, and it just seems like a movie. I can’t see it as being anything real. The whole thing is still like a movie to me. It happened to me, but it’s like watching TV. If you’re watching TV, it’s the same thing as having it done to yourself.
Alfred Hitchcock: Yes. Yes.

Warhol’s portrait of Alfred Hitchcock represents an incisive homage to the artist’s favorite director.

Creepy Charlie Sheen Mask Wins Mask Fest
Creepy Lifelike Charlie Sheen
While not exactly known for his wisdom, Charlie Sheen did provide us with a unique spin on the concept of “winning” that would have been useful on June 10th. Looking through Landon Meier’s twitpics as I wrote the previous Giant Baby Heads post, I found these photos of his newest mask. Meier’s incredibly realistic representation of Charlie Sheen won the 2011 Mask Fest, and I can see why. There’s a tendency to dismiss masks as horror movie props and not “real art”. People who say such things obviously lack the tiger blood. I see this as sculpture and also performance art. #winning
Mask
This mask is so bizzare and crazy looking it makes you just want to laugh. Pretty amazing job. Check out the video.

Independent Artist Showcase
Friday June 17th, I was at the French Quarters, Lissa BigRed Lee had put an event together for independent artist in the tri-state area. The turn out was good and the artist were amazing, everyone that was there were very supportive of each other. Out of all the rising crime and deaths that has been occuring for the last year, this was a refreshing enviroment. There was complete support and love at this event, and most when asked "who is your target audience?" they replied that it was for the people going through hard times and basically music was their outlet. I got the chance to interview some the artist and Bigred and they were more than willing to help me get my first interviews. Check out their interviews and some of the show. ( If there are any problems with video please let me know....)
Fashion Era
"I may be a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." -John Lennon
Since Rick Ross and lil Wayne came out with some song that deals with John Lennon everyone has been on the John Lennon train. So let's go back an take a look at the style and generation of the late 1960's/ early 1970's, when John Lennon was around , one of my favorite era's.....
The late 1960's fashion mostly consisted of bell bottom jeans, paisely prints, tie dyes, big hats, head bands, sandals, false eye lashes, & batik fabrics. By 1968 the hippie look was the main look in fashion, some women would even go barefoot, bra less and also transparent shirts became popular. I love their fashion it's was very care free and bright. Some of their fashion since then has re-surfaced the head bands, false eyelashes, big hats, peasant shirts and skinny jeans have all been seen recently. Give me some feedback and let me know which era should I write about next.

Intresting Websites
Rent a prom date!!!!
This prom year has already flown by and I hope all the graduates of 2011 have had a great year. I came by a site that I thought was very intresting and may benefit the 2012 graduates, those who know or may expect to not have a date are in luck. There's a website called promdatedepot.com, the website consits of people that need dates and people that are willing to be the date. There are profiles so you can chose your ideal date, you can chose the sex and the age that you want. This was just baffling to me at first, like really you can rent a prom date. I guess tradition has gone out the door, but I can see people using it that have a hard time talking to the opposite sex or even the same sex. Tell me what you think and send me some messages if you have other websites that you have came across that is intresting. Thanx much <3

I don't know if anyone else knew this, but I know I didn't. People have speculated that he may be a father, but when asked he always denied it and called it rumors. He finally decided to tell everyone and posted it on his page bow wow today, he wrote " I waited so long to tell y'all the truth because I was nervous on how y'all would look at me" I don't understand where he may have been worried at the fact he is no longer lil bow wow but now bow wow I guess. Either or he is a great lier and good at keeping secerts, lol....Congrats to him though, now I want to see what his baby looks like.
