One of the most ambitious urban animation/ graffiti projeKts I have ever seen. South American aRtist sensation offers us “MUTO“. Painted and Photographed over a period of weeks, with much of his w3rk getting painted over as he went along. Like in life, one thing leads to another. One wave washes over the next. Everything is born, Everything dies.
Long live the genius of BLU . Cheers mate.

*And props to to my step-bro Jesse Bassett for the tip.
Painted this back in 2001. Always thought it was solid w3rk. Finally got a decent photo of it to show. *Click on it for a larger view.

Pretty cool new video/imagery which was made by Tom Jenkinson aka Squarepusher himself. Originally created as a visual accompaniment for use at live shows with the music off of his new album.

For those unaware, this is one of the more profound and proficient short format video maker’s of our time. -Chris Cunningham is really in a master class of his own. Since the 1990’s, he has w3rked his pixelated magic on quite a few ground-breaking musicians. -Bjork, Squarepusher, & Portishead just to name a few. The musical video below, “Rubber Johnny“, is one of Cunningham’s crowning achievements IMO, and took 4 years to complete. The auditory w3rk in the video is entitled: “afx237 v7 (w19rhbasement remix)” & by none other than Aphex Twin. (One of Cunningham’s favorite recipients/victims of his contemporary craftsmanship.)
*Warning! This video is not for the timid or the faint of heart.

*UPDATE (11/20/08): This original video link I posted to, has since been yanked from youtube. I’ve reposted a new link to the video. No telling how long it will be up for, but for now it should work. If not, that means it’s been yanked again. I’ll try to keep my eye on for ya’s.
Peace - gaR

I will readily admit that I am not the hugest fan of Beck’s newest album, “Modern Guilt“. Especially when compared to some of his past efforts. But hey, as an artist, something I know all too well is that one can’t hit a “home run” every outing. Don’t get me wrong, there are some solid tracks, especially on the 2nd half of the record. However I was pretty damn stoked with the video for the track “Youthless”. -Some Dada-esque imagery & elements going on for sure. And anyone who knows my artistic leanings, knows of my fondness for that particular artistic aesthetic.

Below is an ol’ illustration that I dug up from around the turn of the millennium er so. It is a delicately grotesquely wonderful drawing of me, by a close friend. A person whom I grew up drawing, painting, & testing the limits of art/life with. He long ago moved far from Florida, and has since successfully branched out into other mediums… but I am hoping that he doesn’t soon forget about his original talents with quills and brushes on canvas and paper. The springboard and idea pool from which every good artistic thing, for me at least, has seemed to grow.
Mr. Bing Hamil… A sincere thank you for your continued friendship and inspiration. *Don’t forget about your sketchbook homeskillet.
