Alright, I know its pretty bad. I think it has something to it though. These type of line drawings I have done for a long time, this time I added the colours with the computer. I did this cause I like the colours to be very alive and bold and I'm afraid of using ink in real life in case it spills. Oh, my reference is Seiichi Hayashi. A great Japanese illustrator from the post-war counter-culture movement (all artists from this time are fascinating). I still have to buy his book Red Elegy.

This song is insanely good. What's Up Fatlip. I think a lot of people found out about it through the H3 video where they dance around in their tiny shithole place in New York. Hila's got on these ponytails and an orange diaper. It's good.

Fatlip also has this documentary on Youtube I think, where some hiphop reporter is filming him while he in turn is filming this cheap ass looking music video. He talks about his struggles with a lot of stuff, with life. He has this lyric on the song 'Writer's Block' (also on that same album):

Often compared to a tree that bears no fruit A bank account with no loot The inability to produce a thought Ideas get stale, brain cells rot Failed attempts at concentration I'm in a state of psychological stagnation

Agh, I love that. That is a good line.

Yeah, this is my profile picture right now. I was listening to 'Stop the Wedding', its a soul song from the 60s by Etta James, this singer from the time. I think the song is hilarious. She speaks to an ex-boyfriend of hers who is getting married and tries to convince him to stop. The lyrics:

Wait, wait stop the wedding You just marrying her for spite If she knew the inside story She'd tell you what your doing just ain't right

Marrying her for spite? Come on now.

I know you don't wanna hurt me So stop this madness before it starts Revenge will only cause you regret So don't do it, don't do it Don't break two hearts (Don't break two hearts)

I know you don't wanna hurt me, you're just marrying the first b*tch you found to make me jealous, yeah? Well you succeded, you can stop now and marry me. She is saying this WHILE THE WEDDING IS ONGOING. I think that's really amusing.

Header. Got the hand from a stock image web. The background is from the artist Olafur Eliasson (tricky name but worth it). It was an exhibition made in the Tate not so long ago. The sun was a light surrounded by some type of plastic which illuminated the whole museum with this kind of Blade Runnerish light. Amazing. In regards to the sad woman on the left (sad but beautiful like yours truly lately) well that's the star in the classic film 'In the Mood for Love'. This movie will leave you thinking about it and dreaming about it for a long time.

Hey

Wanted to make this because I am very bored. Let's see how it goes. It's raining outside and I still have two more classes to go (online of course).
