Art Blog

This blog was for my Pre-capstone class from when I was a Graphic Design student. Now that I've graduated the updates for this blog have been very very slow.

EVERYONE PLEASE LISTEN. DO NOT IGNORE THIS.

Article 13 is going into it’s final stages of voting. 

If this gets through, it will allow many, many companies to abuse and misuse this article to take down as many memes, fan works, and even other independent creators on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and other websites INCLUDING Tumblr. 

THE FAIR USE LAW AND SAFEHARBOR LAW WILL NO LONGER APPLY IN THE U.S OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES. 

IT HAS ALREADY PASSED IN SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES. 

WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE AWAY WHAT WE BUILT FOR THE INTERNET SO FAR. 

So here is what you need to do to drag this article down. 

1. Spread the word 

I can’t stress this enough. The more attention this gets the more people we can get to take this down. 

2. Make your own content 

Make your own content on the matter and make sure it is clear to others that Article 13 is bad for every internet user involved. 

3. If you live anywhere in Europe, contact your MEPs 

Ask them if they approve of the article and why. If they do approve of it, try to convince them in a clear, reasonable, and most sensible way possible that this law is BAD. 

The article itself is way to vague about what it’s conveying to its people. 

Saying that as long as the use of said internet memes or content is good as long as it’s in “good faith.” 

We cannot let some shoddy government tell us what we can and cannot post. 

FREE SPEECH IS A HUMAN RIGHT. NOT A PRIVILEGE. 

Here’s a video on Article 13 that Film Theory made on the matter. It will explain things better than I can.

Edit: I’ve noticed that some people are having trouble with getting the video to work. So here is the new link

Plus thanks to user @rwby- 13 for giving me a link to this Change.org petition!

Margaret D. H. Keane

Even seen the movie ‘Big Eyes’?

The 2014 film directed by Tim Burton earned a 7 out of 10 score in the IMDB website with a grossing $14,479,776 on the 20th of March, 2015. To simply put it, the story revolves around an artist and all the lies she had to say because of her husband. But I’m not here to talk about the movie or her private life, I’m here to write about herself and her works of art.

A bit about the artist first! The artist’s name is Margaret D. H. Keane and she was born in 1927 in Nashville, Tennessee. As an adult she studied at Watkins Art Institute in Nashville and Traphagen School Of Design in New York City.

Her works are recognizable for the large looming eyes, most of her subjects are children. “Children do have big eyes. When I’m doing a portrait, the eyes are the most expressive part of the face. And they just got bigger and bigger and bigger” Keane said during an interview. She also explained that she focuses on eyes because they reveal more about the person’s inner personality. Her art mediums include oil paints and acrylics. Keane’s influences include Amedeo Modigliani.

Well. I had an unexpected trip to the ER. Ultrasound, cat scan, the works. Woke up to the worst pain I have ever experienced. Hurt so bad I couldn’t stop throwing up. Turns out I had a kidney stone. I will be ok, just extremely exhausted. I’m very thankful to my loving parents and God forgetting me through this.

hope you get well soon.

Annual Parade in the Netherlands Pays Homage to Vincent van Gogh with Massive Flower Floats

The Coro Zundert parade in the Netherlands celebrates the country’s reputation as a global supplier of dahlia flowers since 1936. This year 19 teams payed homage and drew inspiration from the work of Vincent van Gogh. The flowery floats are filled with imagery, colors and expressions from van Gogh’s signature style. The floats are now a mixture of tradition and urban art, which are a beautiful spectacle  to attend yearly.
