La Vie Bohème

...de l'artiste. I know every girl thinks that they have the most amazing boyfriend on the planet, but I actually do. Sorry ladies. I'm not going to bore you with all of the sweet things he does, but you should definitely check out some of his artwork. 

He also wrote and did the artwork for a children's book that was picked up by Penguin Publishing, titled

 "Monster Fred Who Lost His Bed"

Like I said, amazing.

Make sure you go get the book when it comes out!!!!

Graffiti Taxonomy

So while thinking of my boo/other half, I stumbled upon this fantastical website with this Graffiti Alphabet break down.

 Evan Roth has been breaking down the Graffiti Alphabet for years. Graffiti Taxonomy presents isolated letters from various graffiti tags, reproduced in similar scales and at close proximity. The intent of these studies is to show the diversity of styles as expressed in a single character. In these photographs, the ‘S' is reproduced from photographs of tags taken in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, while the 'A' is reproduced from tags from Central Park North to 125th St. in Harlem. 
This project is still in progress.

Foreign Object

Soooo I am absolutely in love with this movie! This is definitely on the top of my list of favorite foreign films. The original Korean film is centered around a man who is imprisoned for 15 years. Now the kicker is he doesn't know why he was being imprisoned and then one day he is mysteriously released to find his captors, kills a bunch of mofos and has an incestuous relationship all along the way to the crazy ending. This film is suuuuper dark, violent, and most importantly it's going to be extremely challenging to do an American remake. This is a cult classic that has drawn most of it's audience from it's gory action scenes and overall graphic content, and I'm really afraid the watered down Hollywood version is going to lose a lot of the original shock value. If anything, the American version will probably mirror the Japanese manga that is titled with the same name. Hmmmmm....we'll see.

Mandate pictures announced yesterday, that Spike Lee would be assuming the director role for the Hollywood remake of the Korean film, OldBoy. Although Spike Lee is an amazing director and he's known for his versatility, I think he might be a little in over his head on this one. For this particular style of film, I really can't think of any American director that could rise to the challenge and put together a comparable piece of work. Maintaining the same elements is going to be a challenge...Needless to say the final product is going to be interesting to see and I can't wait to hear audience reactions...For those of you who aren't familiar with the original film, please go check out OldBoy. It's definitely a must see!!!!

 Ummmmmm yes that is dood cutting out his own tongue...
