Felix in Exile

I saw this last video semester in my Art Today history class. I thought this was a beautiful film. The medium and technique that Kentridge uses gives this piece a whole different dimension. He creates a drawing and then makes erasures and changes, and then films it again. He continues this process and gives each change in the drawing a quarter of a second to two seconds' screen time.

William Kentridge is just one of the artists that will be featured at the MoMA (also Monet's Water Lilies, Tim Burton, Irving Penn, and The New Typography exhibit!!!!) when Teresa and I go for our birthdays in March!

AHhhh!!! I'm so excited! :-D

I think this is probably my favorite website I've ever found.

I love the colors, the illustration, the music, and how interactive the site is.

If ever I'm in Indonesia, I'm totally checking this place out.

*Snow Day*

Snow, you finally came through.

Sincerely,

Oh Laura is the face in the misty light
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall
And you see Laura on a train that is passing through
Those eyes how familiar they seem

She gave her very first kiss to you

That was Laura...

But she's not the same anymore.

Typography Addiction

My advanced type class is so inspiring. TONS of work, but the things we find and look

at are usually beautiful and interesting. I saw this designers work yesterday in a book

and had to find more of Jo Ratcliffe:

and then I found her website:

I must say, most of her work is a little too dark and risque for my liking, however,

the remnant is delightfully inspiring to me.

I woke up at 8:22 am.

Go Left. Feel Right.

Short hair/Long stature

::Sung to the tune of Cake's "Short skirt/Long Jacket"::

I want a guy with a mind like a wise man
I want a guy who knows he's blessed
I want a guy with shoes that shine
And eyes like the sea before a storm

I want a guy with some good avocations
Who's vast and classy
And good with his cash
He's praying with me daily
He's putting up with mom
He's telling me I'm beautiful
And guarding his mind

I want a guy with some short hair and a lonnnng stature......

I want a guy who's very burly
I want a guy who hates to date
I want a guy with indubitable sincerity
Who used a machete to get in good shape
With ginger ale that tastes like justice
He'll rejoice with a spark and lots of class

He's a blast and funny 
And doesn't have plaque
He's tearing up the dance floor
And true to his word

I want a guy with some short hair and a lonnnnng.... lonnng stature

I want a guy with determination
I want a guy with lots of good friends
And at the fish tank we will meet coincidentally 
We'll start to walk when we meet there again

He wants a car with seven seats for his family
He wants a car that will get us there
He's changing my name from mine to his last one
He's trading his sorrows for the Joy of the Lord

I want a guy with some short hair and a lonnnnggggggggg stature
