Flashback Friday: Halloween 2013 x Cat Eye, Cat Ears

Not sure where I'll end up tonight, it's highly likely I'll be in my bed having a scary movie marathon with my dog... In case I don't partake in this years festivities, here's a throwback. 

Cat eye x Cat ears

Happy Halloween all!

Weekend Recap: The Masquerade

 

So this past weekend I threw a masquerade party and invited a few of my close friends. Unfortunately two days beforehand the camera on my phone gave out - and as we all know I do this strange thing where I neglect the fact that there is such thing as a camera that (*gasp) is not attached to a phone. So my pictures from the night are pretty much whatever my guests were able to capture... which isn't much. I'm a little sad because I'm big on setting the mood with décor and none of that was captured. I'll do better next time.

I really want to try pescetarianism

"when was the last time you did something for the first time?" - if you can't answer it's time to reevaluate

our relationship is so much better now that we're not together..

I think I have it all figured out, and then I don't

I have no problem submitting to a man that is a man

( SIDE NOTE: To be completely honest, I feel uninspired. ..and even when I catch a breath of fresh air of inspiration, the feeling is fleeting. Choking on the staleness of monotony. Bored with that which is temporary. How magnificent must one be to make every moment feel like you're taking your first breath? .. to constantly be inspired by a being.. thing.. experience. How rewarding of a challenge to keep that spark alive and burning? But we are a generation that is lazy. And finds it easier to jump from one thing to the next because we fear being bored or becoming the "bore." We've lost sight of the desire to 'try' to work at and maintain something. And finds it easier to indulge in short lived spark then to work at a long burning flame. )

Simon Says x Pharoahe Monch

oh,
and a major shout out to BLKFNTSTC opening up for GZA at the Echoplex LA!

Weekend Recap: Art Whino x G40 Art Summit

I love Art Whino. If I could live on a block where all of the houses were rainbow colored.. I would. The place is not only an art gallery, but a work of art in itself. From the floors to the ceiling.. stairs to the bathroom stalls.. everything is covered in art. Accompany that with a DJ that spun nonstop classic hip hop all night, and an open bar - it gets no better. I'll never get tired of coming here.



repeat.



I'm An Artist in My Free Time

I find that I don't have much free time these days, so whenever I do I sneak off to Michaels and pick a new medium to experiment (II, III, IV, V) with. This time I chose acrylic paint and smaller 6 x 6 canvas. I've been very big into self portraits lately. As Frida Kahlo said, "I paint myself because I am the subject I know best." There's just something about breaking yourself down.. honestly, without trying to airbrush away the flaws and applying it to paper. Fall in love with the masterpiece that is you. No filter.
