This is one of the artist I listened to when I was still in Australia. This particular album was on my playlist throughout the year. The songs are jazzy and soulful. Tina Arena’s vocal is almost on par with Celine Dion. Especially if you hear her live.
All I Own by Sannah Kvist“The Participant (All born in the 80’s) compose and build a sculpture of all his or her possessions, which I then photograph together with the model.”
Cool project. How do you think your photo would look like if you did this?
A little while back I was contacted by the awesome folks over at Soul Pancake to do one of their Art Attack videos! It was such an amazing experience, and definitely a challenge to come up with a painting out of thin air in about four hours. It’s funny, inevitably there are things about this particular painting that I would have changed had I had time to step back from the process of painting it, but I sort of like having this time-capsule of what my initial thought-process is like. It’s certainly enlightening, and I think has helped me to fix some bad painting habits I had developed. Just goes to show you, sometimes you need to see your work through the prism of another medium, in this case, video!
The Soul Pancake crew were wonderful, and I want to give a shout-out to Jacob Menache, Ethan Coco, Gary Haroldson, and the director, Bayan Joonam - you guys ROCK! Also, many thanks to Anabella Casanova for contacting me about this opportunity.
I also did a short interview about what I do, my process, and my thoughts on art and adventure, which can be viewed here!
Following the success of Gavan vs Gokaiger, Gavan has been given his own movie showing next month.
I heard the term “Gangnam Style” being mentioned in social media without knowing what it means. It’s really hard to catch up with the trend these days. Also because I’m getting older, less interest in things. Anyway, I looked up the term and here’s what I found from this website:
2. What “Gangnam Style” is about
“‘Gangnam’ means, it’s like the Beverly Hills of Korea,” PSY told ABC News. “[However,] the dance doesn’t look like Beverly Hills, the lyrics don’t [sound] like Beverly Hills and the music and all the situations [in the video] doesn’t look like Beverly Hills. But, he keeps saying, ‘I’m Beverly Hills Style,’ so that’s the point. It’s sort of a twist.”
I still don’t understand what it means. Interesting videos though.
Do you want to work with Apple? This video should be of interest to you.
Radiolab
I came across Radiolab from 5by5’s podcast Back To Work hosted by Merlin Mann and Dan Benjamin. In that podcast episode, Merlin and Dan were discussing about this article by Radiolab’s Jad Abumrad, called, “The Terrors & Occasional Virtues of Not Knowing What You’re Doing.” From here, I became a fan of Radiolab.
The first episode I listened to was Crossroads where Jad visited the legendary crossroad in Clarksdale, Mississippi. I’ve listened to radio my whole life. But this is the first time I was so taken in by the story that I couldn’t stop listening to it from beginning to end. The way the story was told and narrated, it was something I haven’t heard before.
