In response to the continueing adventures of the cactus


"Look! You've given life to so many creatures that you can't possibly support!
just like the octomom I saw on T.V. today, who when asked how she would support her fourteen children after there were no more interviews, could give no straight answer because she seems bat shit crazy.
And you have the equivvalent of 32 children
way to go emily

I'm calling bullshit

So im so enraged, I was trying to sleep, and all I could think about was the things I wanted to say in critique today.

Basically this girl did this great mario fan art, it was all this silhouette mario imagery creatively arranged on a piece of acetate, and barb decided for this piece that instead of the artist explaining it us to go down the line and everyone say one thing about it first. Which is all well and good, except for that someone who basically was bitter about a critique in another class decided to make a comment, and then blood was basically scented in the air.
It was simultaneously a dig at my work, which I didnt really give a crap about, but something vague about what is she trying to do but showing pop culture, anyway nothing good. Then a girl said they would like to see her do something original. Then last of all a guy was all oh your obviously gonna get grilled for copying imagery yadda yadda. some unimportant but negative shit. geez like this was a great work for this particular girl to make I thought, it was so different from the stuff she usually makes.
So clearly the girl explains the work seems quite upset about it, because the work represented feelings she had when together with her boyfriend who she gave the most recent mario game to, and them playing it together. Not to mention the work was immaculately well cut out, and well done in general.
Barb and everyone had a bit of pontificating over it and then before we moved on I made I thought a pretty good rebuttal
But im just still fuming over it, and it wasnt even mine. I dont even understand how you can call it copying, copying a mario game would be getting on your computer and writing a friggin level or some crap, if you wanna call using a pre-existing image copying than fuck everything is copying. Looking at a landscape and painting it is copying, every other fucking piece that was on the wall was copying. Being influenced by a landscape, or some piece of fine fucking art is no different than being inspired by a video game. Or people that make book or movie inspired art. It's clearly fucking valid and there is a broad audience for fan art.
In a school where we are taught to accept artists shit in a can literally as art, crazy abstract crap, people banging drums, knitting, all as art, why is video game imagery such a hard pill to swallow.

To say that work was unoriginal, that it was copying, thats fuckin bullshit.

observe the beautiful concept art for Final Fantasy twelve

SO MY ARTWORK
IS GOOD YA





So digital is still goin swellll, I'm pretty happy with the completion of this assignment but I need to add more because I in fact have like 30 more screen shots...

Sculpture is cool. Im making a ramshackle table adjoined with various random ramshackley implements like little circles with bent over nails, and randomly placed hinges, and little metal bits cut up with holes in dem. It's gonna rest on 4 lambs liquor bottles, one of which may still contain alcohol depending on how this weekend goes. That'll kinda turn it into a strange metaphor for the rickety and unstable surface that alcoholism maintains
not like i know anything about alcoholism

drawing blows. i dont wanna cut paper, paper can go..

FINAL FANTASY

Final Fantasy XIII is coming out in a mere two days. It's gonna look amazing ridiculously freaking awesomely amazing with next gen graphics.. Look at those articulating fingers in the above pic! gone are the days of plastic looking hands with the fingers looking glued together . And those days were only as far away as FFX. I cant handle the suspenseeeeeee
Square Enix is my dream company to work for..
However they've made a dubious choice in choosing a pre-existing song by Leona Lewis of all friggin people for the sort of love song of the game. I'm guessing it will only play once in the whole game so that's a plus. But this video set to the song is a better trailer than the actual trailer.

yeah

so found this little video on how to take a few pictures of something with people in them and remove them with a few steps. like you want a picture of a fountain, in the tutorial, but people are always walking by or some crap. here.

Digital is probably the only class not pissing me off right now.
drawing is lame projects until the end of the year, I wanna actually draw shit, not cut paper and make 3d crap out of it. I have no idea what to do with myself in sculpture, and sociology is ripping my brain apart. religious studies just doesnt count. for anything.
much love for digital right now is all i can say
