Mural-sort of

Here's another short post. Sorry. My room feels all empty and junk all the time, so I'm starting what I think will be a streak of murals in my room. Unfortunately there's not enough paint so I haven't started painting. Here's the mural i made around my mirror.



I changed a lot of the qualities and stuff in iphoto so you can see it, so i look a little weird in the mirror.














Not a bad start though, right?

More to come later,

John Lennon and another mime.

Ok. So I have a thing for mimes. It's old news. But this is new:
   
Well who doesn't love a pouty mime smoking a cigarette anyways?

Ok, here's something that you should watch. It's an interview with john lennon that a 14-year-old got by sneaking into his hotel room in 1969. But the video itself is an artwork submitted to a youtube-guggenheim video art competition. It's super trippy.

I need to post more.

Sorry. I guess I forgot for a few weeks. I'm posting again, that's all that matters.

You can create art anywhere. Everything can be a canvas.

This is old, but it expresses that point. I drew this on a suede cushion. You may or may not be able to see it very well, but it's a funky looking person with a goatee/mustache and a bowler hat. I'm a kool kat, I know.

Chocolate mousse: My life. So good. Learning how to make it was a death sentence from the start. Now that I can make this all the time, It's slowly fattening me up with all it's chocolatey goodness. It's worth it though.












My room wasn't lively enough. So, I found some directions online for how to hollow out a lightbulb. I stuffed it with dirt and planted a basil plant in it. And now I'm not the only living thing in my room.

Strange? yes. Awesome? completely.













Hopefully I won't forget to post for another 3-week period.
More to come later!
