Hip-Hop just got a make-over!

This could be one of my favorite projects to come out in quite sometime! Of course there has been plenty of mash-ups and collaborations between Hip-Hop artists and Rock musicians before. This does not even compare to that, The Black Keys selected some of the best Rap and Hip-Hop artists of all time! There is no way to explain this with out at least seeing and hearing some of the riffs and raps...

Blakroc Project from Myrhax on Vimeo.

Oh and I suggest you purchase this album, it just dropped on Black Friday. Make sure you catch some of the webisodes about the "Blakroc" project on youtube, I was addicted to them the other day at work.

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

I am sitting at work looking out the window and it is still snowing! Thanks to a good friend I do not have to wake up at 5:30 am tomorrow and go to work like my last few Sunday's. Instead I get to go indulge in one of my favorite activities, SNOWBOARDING! This video below is how snowboarding got its start, if only you could see the smile on my face when I watch this video...
This video reminds me of how I got my start snowboarding riding a similar contraption, a BlackSnow snowboard. If you were lucky enough to grow up in the 90's you might remember this thing as a simple piece of plastic with 2 spots of plastic spikes on the top for your feet, a curled up nose with a string and a handle coming out of the front, and a lime green base with 2 metal rudders in the back. I remember every time it snowed even just an inch I would be out in the back yard sliding around on that thing. The most fun was when the creek in my backyard froze over we would do "cliff drops" by running and jumping on the board then flying onto the frozen ice. Looking back at it, it is a wonder I never drown or split my head open doing that. Now I wish I still had that board to do what the guys in that video did. Although I don't think the Blacksnow would be as agile and float as well in powder.

Photo Comparison

Both of these polaroid photos were taken by Chris Swainson at his "Donations for Creations" show on Friday October 30 at FRESH. The first photo is my favorite because two pieces of film got stuck together to create that weird rectangular box effect that looks like we are holding it up. I love how accidents happen, sometimes for the better! This happens a lot in fine art, especially photography and painting. In my print class an accident happened that I enjoyed on one of my prints but that is not OK in printing because some people think that prints should be perfect. I told my friend Hayden that we should start a movement in printing that allows accidents. But, it has probably already happened. Just a thought...

Here is the second photo that shows my friends (L to R) Gram Ramsey, Myself, and Ian Matteson as The Trailer Park Boys! Gram is a made up character but I am Bubbles and Ian is Ricky. For people that recognized us we received a lot of credit for being original. Not to mention the facial hair changes we had to go through, mostly Ian. Oh and P.S. check what we are drinking out of! haha. Well until next Hallows Eve!!!
