Makin' Ugly Look Good

I present you with portraits of Joe Prince! They were taken for my color photo class with a gorgeous medium format camera. Second to last is my favourite.

YAY FOR TYPE!

Eating Through Living

EATING THROUGH LIVING - Jenny Holzer & Peter Nadin

amazing find from the library last night --

i was just perusing the stacks when this little guy caught my eye.

i can hardly find any information about it.

but it has some really interesting observations about people and some insightful truisms.

I could quote a million statements from this book. here's a few --

"I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT BRAINS, TUMORS, AND CAULIFLOWER LOOK ABOUT THE SAME AND I ALWAYS PICTURE THEM ON WHITE PLATES."

"IT CAN BE STARTLING TO SEE SOMEONE'S BREATH, LET ALONE THE BREATHING OF A CROWD. YOU USUALLY DON'T BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE EXTEND THAT FAR."

"THERE IS A PLEASURE IN STAYING HOME TO ADJUST EACH PHYSICAL DETAIL SO THAT WHEREVER THE EYE FALLS, THERE IS HARMONY. THEN YOU GO OUTSIDE AND DO THE SAME."

You Don't YoYo?

Five Obstructions:

1. Smaller Scale

2. Beard/ Moustache Zine

3. Only use the phrase, "Wake me up before you go go, don't leave me hanging like a yo yo."

4. Has to be my own imagery - no found photos.

5. Texture

For Readers of All Ages

current favorite book in the library:

The Fold-Out Atlas of the HUMAN BODY

LOOK AT THAT BEARD/ STACHE COMBO!

i'm currently gathering information for a facial hair inspired zine.

Could they have given me a better obstruction? i think not.

I think this project will involve alot of interpretive doodling and texture.

lettuce head.

this frightens me

Bastardy

“I think that the position of a criminal is the same as an artist as it’s outside a lot of social structures. If you choose to you’re privileged with a unique perspective because you’re transgressing and traversing different social groups. There’s a way that criminals see the world that’s quite heightened, there’s an immediacy that not to dissimilar to the way in which an artist can put a spin on an object.”


So I came across this article on The Blackmail (which if you haven't already checked out i suggested you get your keister right on over there) about Jack Charles. This man, Aboriginal Elder/junkie/renowned actor/cat burglar, seems generally pretty dang fascinating. I was pleased to find that there is a documentary being released about his life habits/views made by Amiel Courtin-Wilson. It's worth a look-see.

i win??

you like the smell of farts so much that you catch them in jars so you can sniff them later.

Gage Harding at 10:45am July 12

you like to inhale fecal related things so much you rigged a hooka to take in farts run them through a liquid of your choice, usually orange juice (adds zest) and then inhale them into your lungs, holding it in for 30 seconds before exhaling, savoring the farty flavor

you like to smell butts and gassy matter expelled from butts so much, that you've been doing yoga for the past 2 years so that can build up enough flexibility to stick your head next to your own butt, allowing you to intercept the smell your own farts before they dissolve into the atmosphere.

you love the inhalation of hazardous gaseous material pleasently so that you use wind instruments inside you rectum so that when gas is removed from the colon that not only does it create that addictive pleasent poop smell it makes a sweet soft melody, so i guess thats a good thing

you have the ability to play the kazoo with your butt through the careful art of fart regulatory butt clenches. your favorite song to fart out is Lovefool, by the Cardigans.
