It’s Been a While

By David | February 28, 2010 | 2 Comments

I haven’t been posting much lately due to school and my own laziness, but last night Betty and I finished the film we began making several months ago that documents parts of our trip out to New York and New Jersey. I will now post that here.

Enjoy!

p.s. More posts from me soon! I promise.

Moving a little slow today, so here’s your cool, sorry it’s late. The rad shit should be up within the next few hours. Ooof, where’s my coffee!?

i remember your face looking different
the angles hanging in different manners

all persuasive for a time well-spent

it is still there, but now there’s a change
something softer, this peculiar droop

i will take out my stitches now
nothing lost in the transaction of flesh

i wrote this two hours ago, and in re-reading it, i’m not too terribly proud of it. however, i tried new things with composition, so i guess it’s a successful endeavor. your feedback and criticism would be appreciated and encouraged. fire away.

Rad Shit: Day 1

drawing

I’ve attempted a “make something cool every day” type of exercise before, and it hasn’t ever really panned out. But now that I have a super legit blog, maybe I can be more motivated.

I call stuff like this a “dictated composition drawing”. It works on the same principle as the squiggle game, where you make a drawing based on information added first by another. This is the sharpie bleedthrough from a drawing my roommate Jack made, and I added in the figure and watercolor.

“She’s giving birth to nature stuff, see the tree?”

“I imagined she was giving birth to the apocalypse, see the smoke?”

“I like that better anyway.”

for your * pleasure – tutelage: addendum

what a great, gloomy windy day. i’m really enjoying it. no, seriously, weather like this is a fucking blast. i always need an excuse not to ride a bike. oh, hello. i didn’t see you behind that monitor there. welcome to the latest installation of the quite specific “FOR YOUR AUDIBLE PLEASURE.” i left off tuesday’s episode promising an explanation of the disposable music blog, so that’s where i’ll begin today.

we’re all familiar with blogger.com blogs, the livejournal, and sometimes, typepad or wordpress– all platforms designed so regular jagoffs can spew their opinions about the world with only 5 clicks. the great features of these free sites are a) anonymity and b) their disposable nature, so naturally a world of piracy will flock to this gray area.

for your * pleasure – beginner’s tutelage

By Kervin | February 23, 2010 | 1 Comment

hello, hello. welcome to another hastily planned and poorly executed recurring feature; this one’s specifically called “FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE.” it exists because i listen to a lot of great music, and so should you. see, indie-scoff avoided. i’m a reasonable man.

keep in mind i will not be linking to any of the albums or songs mentioned, as this would be “illegal,” but i don’t want to keep you from enjoying the many jams to be cranked, so i will start off the feature with a great google query that will get you going in the right direction. use it with discretion, and as always, be prepared to get your pants sued off by gigantic corporations whose only aim is to make example of those unscrupulous people called “pirates.” oh, and please don’t play “pass the blame”– this query has been around much longer than i’ve known about it, and is here for educational purposes only.

so we want to try and find a song IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, yes? well, i like mozart. he’s been dead long enough that all of his copyright holdings have died too.
