INSPIRATION

If you watched the Grammy's you saw the stage show for this video, but today just released is the visuals for "I NEED A DOCTOR" the second single off Dre's long-awaited Detox album. This song is Dr. Dre featuring Eminem and Skyler Grey. As a fan of Dr. Dre and his work all the way back to the days of NWA I can't wait to hear what he's got in store for us in 2011. CHECK IT.

My INFLUENCES pt.2

In part 1 of My Influences I share with you three images, which in some way helped develop my creative thinking and likes.

The first image I shared was by an artist named Aubrey Beardsley, he was an artist during the movement called Art Nouveau with an erotic side. His style was also closely related to Japanese wood block carving as well.

The second images I shared was a photograph taken by Alfred Stieglitz, who was very instrumental in the early years of photography helping it become accepted as an art form. I studied him and his work a great deal in my art photography courses and I some how related and enjoyed his work more than many of the photographers that worked at the same time.

The final image was a poster or CD cover for a group call ABC, which stands for Another Bad Creation. This was the music and the imagery that shaped my idea of fame at a young age. Watching these kids in music videos and seeing how all the girls lost it when there songs came on the radio gave me the idea that fame was a good thing.

Here are a few more images that has shaped who I am, anyone know who they are?

LOVE INSPIRATION

I came along this video as I was doing my daily rounds on the net and I at this point don't know how many times I've watched and listened to it. I also don't know if its the simplistic monochrome visuals and setting, or the fact that the singer is so damn sexy thats got me hypnotized... you decide? CHECK IT OUT!!!

ITS ALL ABOUT THE REMIX

I was asked why I hadn't had a film review post in awhile? The answer is I'll get one up soon then, I've been watching lots of movies, I guess I've been slipping. For this one though check out this cool video on Quentin Tarantino. As one of my favorite directors I already know a lot about him and his movies, but this was new and very cool to me. CHECK IT OUT!!!

Lebron may have left Cleveland for the sunny shores of Miami, but there still is some magic left in the city and it comes in the guise of Chip tha Ripper dropping the video "Cool Points".

With his Gift Raps-project wrapped for a release on March 1st, things are looking bright and shiny for this talented artist. But beware, things are cold around here.
