I Got You at Ballpoint

...and there ain't nothing you can do about it. Juan Francisco Casas Ruiz has managed to hold the art world hostage at "ballpoint." He has literally used his writing utensil as a weapon of mass destruction, destroying the mindsets of people. He single handily creates pictorial symphonies. I'm bout to make a little trip over to Staples to cop some highlighters and create something special.


On the other side of the world, SHOHEI, a one name Japanese dude is creating another kind of artistic massacre with a black ballpoint pen. In an interview with Vice magazine, the artist states "At first I was using pencils, but I didn’t like the way that the pencil lines shone silver. Then I realized that ballpoints are cheap, so I’ve been using them for a while now. "


His color scheme is based on ancient Japanese make-up that contained only three colors: red, white, and black. If his day job don't work out, I guess he could work at MAC. That's besides the point. Let's get back to the "ballpoint," this 'ish is fly.

Rhode Island's Hero

Just when I thought that the only thing that was heroic about Rhode Island was Family Guy, came along Theo. Yes, it is just Theo. Not to be confused with the older brother of the Huxtables.

The young Rhode Island protegee has a flow like I haven't heard since the water like flow of RIPMC, but real recognizes real, and this dude right here is really real.

This hero likes to relay random facts on his mixtape. For example, according to Theo nothing happens to you if you swim after you eat, starfish have no brains, and roaches can survive several days after you break off their head. I not to sure 'bout that. But one random fact I can confirm is he claims he "got the M-E-T-H-O-D man," and I co-sign 100%



Enjoy, and your welcome.

Rabies

I want Rabies, and no I don't mean the stray dog associated virus


Ray Ban 5112

But due to lack the funds to do such in this time of economic crisis - we all gotta do what we can to save the economy - I'll be heading over to Urbs (Urban Outfitters) for my knock-offs. Just have to change the lens.Don't Judge Me! I'm trying to capture my inner "Tootsie Pop Owl"

K a w a s a k i

The works of art by this young female has graced the screen saver of my laptop for many a year, but i want to bless you all with the whimsical magic that is Audrey Kawasaki. Although her last name does sound a little synonymous with a motorcycle company, her works are nothing but pure works of genius.
Audrey attended Pratt Institute, Brooklyn - Fine Arts Painting for two years. Her artwork is a contradication in itself. And that is what i love about it. Such delicate subject matter, drawn on such a rough surface of wood panals.
She has a online journal that she updates frequently http://i-seldom-do.livejournal.com/. Check it out and enjoy!
