not your typical art
alright kids. some new and very interesting things i have found to look at.... if you're interested.
this guys leaves little toy people around london, uk in orchestrated positions, hoping and wondering if anyone would see his small art around the city. before leaving them, he captures the piece on camera. check it out
http://little-people.blogspot.com/
this site i thought was neat. it's comprised of a series of deleted photography. this is why i always keep all my photos that i take, good or bad. sometimes the most interesting things of art is not a clear and perfect picture, but rather the space and colour and non literal being of the composition. anyhoo... here's the site.
www.deletedimages.com
i like this because it's just fun. also gets you to stop and step back and find something different and humour in our everyday environments. this is a compilation of photographs of faces in everyday objects.

art with and within words
i think sometimes the most interesting things can be from something so ordinary. just black and white. it's all about the space used or not used and how its plays around and within.... i don't know, that's just me, i could just be talking shit...what do i know. here's an interesting artist that makes art out of old books. it reminded me of back in a time where i had this book of cross word puzzles and at night once i completed a puzzle, i would draw a picture on top. it was my strange ritual of completing a puzzle. i still have the book..... somewhere......
Recycled words
"I rescue, salvage, and recycle other people’s words.
Browsing through garage sales, street markets and used bookstores I search for interesting, preferably discarded, old books. When I find a good candidate I explore every page. Like an archeologist I hunt for the words that speak to me with new meaning. Intuitively, one word at a time, they turn into a kind of haiku or philosophical poetry that I can call my own.
At some unpredictable point along the way, in my mind, the images start to invent themselves. Using colored vellums, graphite and or India ink to highlight or obscure my words; I create the image of that invention. Though I strive to make each document visually engaging I find it is the words that I value most.
The majority of this work comes from several different copies of The Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson printed from 1887 to 1927. Something about working with these pages quietly reminds me that a part of our culture is about recycling ideas."

in the depths of art..
BROOKS SALZWEDEL- here is an artist i've stumbled upon that really caught my eye. this artwork is made of layered resin pieces to create surreal depths. anyways, i thought that they were pretty amazing and wished i thought of the idea!!
I give it a very VERY cool!!
brookssalzwedel.com
the artist’s own words, from NY Arts Magazine Interview: “With the use of transparencies, including vellums, acetates, tape and resin, I see my work in layers. I ask myself what images should be in the foreground, and what images should recede to the back. I want all my pieces to have an overwhelming feeling of depth. A good piece, for instance, will have faded fog in the background, but still show detail in both its foreground and background. Most of the time, a piece will be a surprise to me, once I pull the resin out of its mold. The layers change—some images will become dull, while some will become crisp—which helps me feel like I’m not working in some formulaic way. It’s all still an experiment and so creates accidents.”

dreams
here's a little story of a dream i had the other night....
i had a dream last night and you were in it.
you had friends that had a comedy sketch show and you would
occasionally guest appear on it.
I was watching the videos on youtube or something like the such,
laughing away.
you were a pretty good actress!
funny too.
i got so caught up in watching these shows, that i forgot about my
rice i was cooking and it burned.
well not badly, but it did have that burnt rice taste.
not so good.
anyways. that was my dream from last night,
and you were in it.

dj, play that record
Carlos Aires -“Love Is In The Air” art is cut vinyl record silhouettes. This recycling/reshaping of vinyl looks pretty damn cool.
morning theme songs
so every morning when i wake, generally, most of the time, have a song in my head. it's a random thing. sometimes they are old songs i didn't think i even knew.
well this is my song for today. it's actually a decent song that i like, from death cab.
