what a fantastic weekend.... for once. I met up with Danielle which was awesome, She's been one of my best friends for years, and I just lost touch with her. The great part is, nothing's changed at all. we're still silly perverted jack asses lol.
So I hung out with Danielle and Frank, two real close friends, I crash at franks, played left 4 dead talked about life, love, sex, the usual and nothing went wrong. Not to mention today is B -E - A -Utiful day to just walk around and observe life.
No painting, No working....
Part of what art should be is reflecting your own life and times through your work, can't do that if you don't go out and experience life once in a while!

Artist you should know REQUEST!
I think we're on number five.
So I'm having a conversation with someone at school today when they mentioned that a certain artist creep'd her the fuck out. I mean this person was legit frightened. I had to know who it was that scared my fellow classmate, so she tells me,
Paul McCarthy
Wow there's a name I haven't heard in a while, she wanted me to explain him a bit, well that's difficult but I'll try...
Paul McCarthy (august 4th, 1945) is an artist from L.A. who creates sculptures, paintings and more notably, performance art.
He enjoys making videos using everyday items and making a mess out of them.
to me, he is testing his own stomach as well as ours with his clownish, shocking videos and sculpture. Here is an example of his video work.
"Painter" I think he's trying to give the great artist myth a big ol' FUCK YOU
If you want to see something creepier check out Bossy Burger I couldn't find it anywhere.
He definitely is testing our social norms and trying to push beyond making art by conventional means. Check out these sculptures
"Caribbean Pirates" 2001 -2005
"Mechanical Pig" 2005
"Piggies" 2007
He wants to mind fuck us with this psychological - um kiddie porn? Idk what to call it, it's sexual and childish and just plain freaky to me and a bunch of other people.
Oh and one to think about, Check out his video "Class fool" I think it's a 70's work(76?) and Our buddy Paul here launches himself around a classroom with ketchup everywhere JUST IMAGINE THE SMELL. He continued to do so and he vomited a few times. As if this wasn't enough, she shoved a barbie doll up his ass, let me say this again
HE SHOVED A BARBIE UP IS RECTUM.
God I love this man

I miss Glowsticking
Okay, I Love electronic music. Techno, Trance, Electro, Hardstyle whatever. And I used to Glowstick quite a bit. For those of you who don't know what glowsticking is, it's a type of urban dance you find most commonly associated with techno music and the underground rave scene. Here's an example of me doing so....
So yea you get the idea. Other forms of street dance closely related are liquid dancing, tuttuing, breakdance, in the east there's poi dance. I'm getting off topic...
Back in the day I did this all the time!!!!!! I used to be part of this great website where people got together, played video games and party'd it up all night long doing this stuff!!
I totally miss it.
I miss the rush of trying to not fuck up in the crowd, and the flashing of the strobe light, The rumbling of heavy bass in my heart.
this was probably the best time of my life as far as party stuff goes. Back in the day you'd grab a couple of friends (or not) and just meet new people, drink and other stuff I shouldn't mention on the internet.... listen to some great cheesy guido fist pump music and have a great time. I've been to a rave (won't say where or when) where it lasted for 2 or 3days straight!! I stayed for 2 don't know if it went on any longer....
oh the memories..
