I fARTed

Making sure that you fART a bunch of colors and create a world of enigmatic, ecstatic,charismatic fARTwork, and keep on chasing the things that are not there, which are actually there. If you cannot see them, there are not there for you, you cannot see, you cannot create what is beyond your eyes. Beyond your eyes, beyond the world underneath your soul, there is a world,that has an exclusive, not elusive gate open four you, with the only key that is available and that is you. When you close your eyes and open your mind and heart, your realm of your fARTworld will open, and you will let go of all your emotions and pour them like a river from an ocean into your fARTwork. Just let go, and go and go and go crazy. Streams have their own rules and the flow of the direction is under your control. Let go and do a lot of fARTing.

Duty

What is duty? It is what is expected and what is required from you to do- it is a commitment of yours to accomplish the tasks at hand and ahead of you. But going above and beyond the call of duty? What is that? It is, when you have achieved the required standards and fulfilled all of your obligations, yet you are not satisfied with the results enough, and feel it is quite basic- at least in your mind- even if it is a duty that is exquisite- you go and polish your tasks and add extra skills just to refine and attempt to make the entire task shine like a supernova in the universe- where yet the star that takes off into an explosion, never dies. It is your responsibility as a person, to challenge yourself, after you have been charged with a duty, to do the best you can as better as you can, and be surprised, when you see and are amazed, that you were actually capable of achieving your goal- like it never happened. Settling for less is like aiming for failure, the one thing that is not good to achieve. Failures are good lessons, but they are only needed, when something is beyond one's control to create as a designer and help has gone into the black whole.... Ha ha ha ha haaa! Meow ! I forgot to get the turkey burger out of my car and now I know, what the smell was, when I bought it about two weeks ago. It fell behind my tool box, and disappeared. I will air it out all night...

UPDATE

K, this is the final update for this quarter or whenever, for all the missing pics and blogging updates. The computer in school never allows me to put up the pics, so now have figured a lil' bit out to post the pics.... I am not happy, if something is missing, it feels like something is stuck in my brain- like the crackhead landlord I knew in 1997, who had food stuck between his teeth and it was just as horrible of a feeling to hear him picking his teeth, as it feels the same, when something is undone. Education costs time and money, and why not invest into it and do the work? Well, nothing is perfect but trying to get it done just feels like being drunk and full with cheese inside somehow. So here are the updates, not sure if that would help my grades or not, but doing it anyway, cause it is just simply the right thing to do.... Well, thanks to everyone, who worked together in this class and all other classes and shared thoughts, ideas, inspirations the meh up and downs of things. Plus the retarded computer crashings, that made life living hell at least for me, but never allowed me to excuse myself from being late from my assignments and there will be more crashes of course.... Only got behind once, due to DC, but was on time with that ! Beast it out kittens ! Meow... That's my boy !

So that is all for the update, phew ! I love you Arslan Boy !

Cards ...

Dang, I forgot to take off the text. But then again, it brought out the grunge. The background of the wall are photos of metal. Automotive parts of military vehicles that are layered. I took photos years ago and then merged them together. The radiator is part of the texture, especially for the card background. The text though, is always optional, and I removed it on some of them. It is past midnight now, been busy finishing all of this off earlier today, cleaning the house and blogging now. I gotta get the other pics into the blog later on, if the school computer still will not allow me to upload them, then I do it at home, they all need an update, the missing picture blog ones. I used one of the pics to put the trucks on. A lot of grunge, I figured to put some military stuff, I felt like, the boy in me had to come out and the Army queen and play with art this way. A wall is a protection, a destruction, an imprisonment or anything else. I added some gauges, showing running on maybe E- not sure, and made it look all M-(military) style. I added some of the 50 caliber rounds one former soldier was holding in his hand and grunged him out too- for the destructive wall. The other wall, the reinforcement wall, I thought it was pretty cool to ad some barb wire with animal sculls to it, and I used colors that compliment the background. I think it just feels like on the go, the pics, the one the go, when one goes like the closest way to explain is- mudding and paint balling to compare it to a military style of short term deployment.... Well, hope that others like it, the guys I mean. Felt girly with the Art Deco stuff, and not with this card stuff. Somehow, I do not play cards- it made me remember the days, the guys played cards at night, and the back pattern was the ACU ( Army Combat Uniform Pattern ), and that was one of the big reasons, that this came about too. Meow !

The Art Deco Theme. It is believed, that the Art Deco was born during the 20th century during the "Grunderzeit", the industrialization era around WWI also I think, in France. The references were used by former artists of the renaissance era, shapes were primarily geometrical in shape, and the colors specific as such of those used in tiffany lamp themes. It was reflected also style-wise on the Empire State Building. I really did not know what to do first, I thought a car or something, but somehow, it came to me easily. Well, time is short and of the essence, and while taking four classes, it is near and dear to me to accomplish all of it and never try to be late. So far, lateness is not something I do, unless something came in between. Missing three days in one quarter is still more than enough for me... Well, it has been almost nine years, since I was in Paris- and I forgot my French language and grammar, so it might be La or Le Reve, not sure if the word is male or female, it seems to be masculine, but it also sounds feminine to my ear. I will ask someone, who is better at this some day. But for now, I wrote in French, because it is the least believed, that Art Deco is from France and I wanted to keep it at their home style and language of origin- at least for this one. I really feel like, I have a thing for this, this is really one of my favorite assignments. Yeah, I gotta tweak the edges, but too late now, plus I spent five days on making the children's book, including computer crashings etc. and it consumed most of my time, 56 pages is more than I supposed to do, I know.... Well, going back to this, I decided to take a portrait of myself, make it a clipping mask out of it, and then turn around and reshape the figure, face, hair, drew a tiara, silhouette. The idea behind all of this was, a memory of the past, where we did silhouettes in 2nd grade- so the silhouette idea came back to me with that memory- and it was a style that was also used for Art Deco. And the windows represent symmetrical shapes. The beams were layers of several gradients, made of shapes. I used paulistano Deco for the font, one art deco font version. The theme with the word were to match with the contrast of the shadow style silhouette, the beams- The dream of lights.... So that is all, love that Art Deco Stuff.

Well, today the sky is inverted in my brain

hAVING TROUBLE TO UPLOAD ANYTHING ON THIS COMPUTER FOR MY REFLECTIVE WRITING. I was struggling with the Interactive PDF, not feeling well. It sucks right now either way. Hope to fix it later, but right now, gotta go and make life worth living again. Yazzy

Here is an update for the final part and a picture of the interactive PDF that I resubmitted again into the M-Drive.... I just thought of something fun to do and Unicorn was my theme this quarter for fun, inspired by Rosa and Holly's way of art. Some creatures are cute, but in my mind, I take it to a different level, not sure why, but it makes it just funny....

Oh shrap, I got !

Here is the folio for the SLAM Magazine....

Slatty Pets

Did the slats and called it Slatty Pets, maybe should have called it slotted pets- not sure. I really wanted to do something like a flower, but things did not work out. So I got really pissed off and did cat, mouse and bunny.... I put the English version of the German Gummy bear song, but not the repeating catchy part, so no one will be thinking about the chorus all the time, due the catchy ways of it. Here is the link, but the computer is acting up and a pic may not show, due to that reason. I really wanted to do some camera angles in After Effects, but time was running out and I sometimes take to defeat on achieving more than I can and leave it at that to keep a fair balance on all assignments. Some then shine more than others in alternating patterns, week by week. My eyes are burning by now, and need a break like a 12 hour nap. Soon, after Wednesday, it will be nap time. During school, sleep is not a necessity at times, when work needs to get done. It is though later on, like a post- sugar-candy crash at a daycare.... Who is the kid now, not sure. I say, it takes a childhood to become an adult and a lifetime, to try to be a kid agai... Meow! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyiv8XPMUvQ

Somehow, why is it troubled, I guess...

The Spud Goodman Radio Show Is an intimate hour with Spud Goodman, his co-host Chick Hunter and an army of extended family members. The show originates from NWCZ in the Seattle/Tacoma market and is currently broadcast Thursday nights at 7:00 pm. Our show does present celebrity guests and live musical performances as do most radio entertainment programs but we do so from a clearly different angle. Our host Spud Goodman has an innate ability to broach topics with guests that quite often take them into territory they had not visited previously on the air. The show was described by one reviewer as “A not so rural, contemporary homage to A Prairie Home Companion. Currently the show is also carried on 2 stations in Texas and 1 in Florida as we are now concentrating our efforts at expanding our exposure around the country. Our guests are all national personalities and a review of the demo reel link included below will verify that we are able to attract the top talent in the entertainment industry today. We are able to do so in large part due to relationships built in our previous incarnation, a nationally syndicated comedy talk show carried on the FOX NET cable television division. The show’s celebrity guests were reflective of its reach and status as some of those who have appeared on Spud’s show include Samuel L. Jackson, Donald Trump, Michael Moore, Drew Carey, BB King, Jon Stewart, Bill O’Reilly, Tracy Ullman and the list goes on. The musical guests were as eclectic and varied as They Might Be Giants, Richard Thompson, Rosanne Cash, Jeff Tweedy, Graham Parker and a long list of others. Recent guests on the radio show have included Kevin Nealon, Lisa Lampenelli, George Lopez, Colin Quinn, David Koechner, Jim Jefferies, Adam Corolla, Steve-O, Reggie Watts, Caroline Rhea, the late Dave Brockie (aka Oderous Urungus) from GWAR, US Congressman Jim McDermott, Richard Lewis and many others. The Spud Goodman Audio Demo Reel Please direct all inquiries to Lori Madson Executive Producer (206) 240-7235 lorimadson@spudgoodman.com www.spudgoodman.com This was the original goal, but then again, time is short with a lot of work to do with four classes and you do the best you can with what you have rather than to have nothing. Took an ashload of screenshots, and it is not working. So in compensation of the missing one, this is the best that there is for now or forever. This was my first version, before I worked on the other version. Well, it will work out somehow, I guess and I know the thing was acting up, when I put six ffffff;s for white font and it turned out black but the thing was messed up that day with many in the class, yep. Well, Martin fixed it, the grading, yay !

Barely swimming without water

Dreamweaver, still weaving my nightmares... 

I will get the hang of it, meanwhile it is hanging me though on multiple silk strings. I am swimming and drowning without water in Dreamweaver. I will get into this class and hopefully learn it and like it then, it is to me quite genius to understand the mystery behind all the coded languages, but meanwhile, it drives me nuts, losing all the lugs on the sides of my rims on my mental tire. I will try to get that other assignment in tomorrow, if I can get some help, I sat there for five hours, and it was like I get it, and then it just went downhill.

Anyway, did the wordpress thingy, assy 13, to the best way it dawned on my off and on computer literacy. I gotta say, I went from a sad world of power point though, to a OOOOH Shiny world of a bunch of Adobe stuff and once you go that way, who wants to go back ????

I added photos, changed the background, layout and  added text. Two hours and some change later, it looks like it is done-ish. ISh means, that I could like it better, but it is to evolve from here. I am glad, I did not call the wordpress site I have holydragonfart, that was my first plan.

 Ok, that is all for the simplified technical part plus the link is below.... :

UPDATE for photo/ screenshot of my site. I still like my site. It is plain and has less color. Just the shade of black. Otherwise, color goes everywhere else !
