A Week in Art #6

This week I have some pretty cool pictures, like I'd like to think I always do. This week is music themed

Blind music by Gnato

Another amazing peice of art by Gnato. This piece I love because of just how it is shot, with the vinyl on the floor in patterns, and the model's placement. Truly amazing piece of work.

Music on my mind by MyTearzRunBlack

This piece is also very amazing. I love the different sized vinyl to represent the thought bubbles.

I know the descriptions are short, but I want you to interpret the art, not me.

I Miss My Dog.

Today has been a sad day in my life.

My dog of about 9 years had to be put down. It was very sad learning this when I woke up. I knew it was coming on monday. I just had no idea that it would be this fast. I am heart broken, by far. I have accepted it though. We did not let her die, because we did not want her to suffer. We had to put her down, because by tomorrow, she probably could have not walked.

When my family and I got her around 9 years ago, it was great. The first time I saw her was in a parking lot, with the rest of her brothers and sisters. I was petting the other dogs, and then she came up to me. She would not leave my side. A few weeks later, I come home, and I see my dog, sleeping, in my floor. My parents then told me that she had been bitten by a snake, and would be very sore. The doctors said that she could have very easily died, but something helped her pull through. Throughout the years of having her, she taught me how to love. My dog was the most non selfish thing that ever lived. If someone was sad, she would come up, and lay by them. With random licks, she showed everyone that she loved them. Anyone who walked through out door, she greeted with jumping up and down excitement, and a wagging tail. Everyone that met her, loved her. Within the past few months, she started to get really sore and limp. My dad took her to the vet and learned that she was having some problems. Throughout the last few weeks, she could barely walk, and always had her tail tucked. She started spending more time outside, and away from everyone. She barely ate or drank. Then last night, my dog spent a good time out doors. She could barely walk. My dad decided that it was time. He told me that the dog enjoyed her ride there, she knew what time it was.

She lived a great life, getting a walk every day and playing catch or whatever. I am grateful that I got to spend my life with her.

Around a month ago, my friend sent me the video of Oden. A dog, with an amazing story behind it.

Everything Jason Wood said about his dog Oden, is true about mine. It is amazing how well of a bond a human and a dog can share.

I truly wish I could type more about my dog. Right now, my mind is in a scramble because of this though.

I would also like to dedicate a song to my dog. The song is I Love My Dog by Sublime.

The following video is of a dog named Oden, and his struggle with cancer.

R.I.P. Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr.

As much as I hate to inform you, the lead singer of the band Jay Reatard has died. Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr. aka Jay Reatard, aged 29, died yesterday. As of right now they know that he died in his sleep, and past that, have no further information. Last year, I put Jay Reatard on my BYED Mixtape #6. Hearing this news deeply saddened me, and I will be making a memorial mixtape later on in the year.

Later reports say it could be a homicide, and Memphis police are offering rewards up to $1,000 for any leads.

A Week in Art #5

This seems to be all I post now a days. I apologize. But sometimes pictures speak louder then words.

In this week, I have decided to dedicate it all to color, or colour as the british spell it. I had a sudden inspiration in Chemistry to make a giant scale of color, while it may not be perfect, it was very elaborate. Here is that picture. I laid out well over 150 color pencils across the span of three school desks. Here are my favorite works of art. Click the name by the picture to see more work from each artist.

Rainbow Shower by Cavalera

This work of art is amazing. I simply love the depth and detail put into this picture, and the colors that are used in it. I have had this picture for a while and I am ecstatic about finally being able to use it.

Christmas Lights by o0-JynnanTonnyx-0o

Originally, this was not the picture I was going to post here. After looking through 3000+ photos, I decided this one was a great 2nd choice. Something as easy as christmas lights are a great portrayal of color. From extravagant displays of light, to even simple strands around the trees. Sadly, all of these are put up but once a year. Maybe that is why winter is one of the most beautiful seasons.

A Week in Art #4

This week I have some interesting pictures for you all.

Not sure who this is by.

This was a picture tweeted by Sean Ryan. It is a figure of people, with lights streaming out of their eyes to represent tears. I found this simply amazing and a very unique piece of art. I would love to see more work like this.

Castro Condo by Rodgers Architecture

I found this through Shape+Colour on twitter. This house features a suspended bed, and many other great architectural feats. I have seen something like this before, but never actually seen it look this clean in a house. Here is the link to more of the house.

A Week in Art #3

Since it is a new year, I decided to post some new age designs and such.

Wave Door by Matharoo Associates

The door is a 17 foot tall door made from 40 pieces of Burmese teak. The door uses a counterweight, 80 ball bearings and 160 pulleys to work. I find the design and just overall look of this door amazing. I really would like to see it in person. For more info and pictures go to Billionaire Boys Club Blog's post about it, or the Matharoo Associates website.

Sophie by Atelier Xavier Veilhan

This piece of art is just amazing. It is a giant statue of a girl, one of his friends, that he made. This is not just the torso. this statue was actually built through the floor, from the floor below. To see more pictures of the project, go to the page on his website here. Also, check out the other work by Veilhan at Veilhan.net.

Those are just two things I have found recently. Stay tuned for the next A Week in Art.
