Another Amazing Artist

Along with the Drawing magazine (Interweave Press) I received a free Watercolor magazine. The featured artist is Soon Y. Warren. I love watercolor paintings that are rich in color, and not easily identified by medium. The magazine features an interview and student demonstration of her watercolor work, which is AMAZING. You will agree when you see it, especially when you see the crystal bowls that look so real!

Amazing Artist

I received a free copy of Drawing magazine and discovered an artist I HAD to share with you! I like what I like and that is enough for me; I don't need to be a connoisseur. I always heard that artists don't become famous until they have died, but when I discovered Ian Ingram I knew that rumor was soooooo untrue!

Men are Hideous...

But so are women, as shown by Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. Not a documentary, but a movie about a documentary. I love it!

I love the two guys who play "the mind" in the background, or at least that is my interpretation of their role. They make me wonder if they are right; the things they say sound so right.

It is about love...God, is there a theme today? Love and Documentary?

I also love the pervert guy, well maybe he's not really a perv, but I think he is really every guy, and the most honest guy.

I just know the guy who "has it all figured out" is going to say that the real secret is to let the woman serve the man!

The part I don't get is the part where the protagonist reminisces. Maybe because I identify; maybe because it is my fear to be there.

Awesome movie full of great words; the kind of movie you want to quote. It is as truthful about men as it is about women (which is the saving grace that keeps this movie what it is for BOTH sexes.)

"Deep down they want a man whose gonna be so passionate, so powerful, that they have no choice; this thing is bigger than both of them." So true; but not necessarily comfortable and perfect when you have it. When you have that, like when you were 15, as an adult you realize what a drug that is. To be taken, to be out of control, to want more; it is just as uncomfortable as having to rationalize and decide what to do and how to figure it out...what is the basis of that decision.

That guy, "the honest guy", the "every time" guy, is GOOOOOOOD (and so evil). He's the guy I think every guy really is; the guy I'm afraid of because I want what he is and says to be real and not just a game.

Oh, I could just keep this window open and provide commentary through the whole thing, but the point of this blog was to give you beads....not boulders!

Beads of Thought

I thought of this phrase quite some time ago; it sticks to me as somewhat familiar.

Documentaries; love em'. Love Netflix! It gives me access to great film making and lost stories.

Woke up at 4:00 a.m. Watched the final epi of the TV show Pushing Daisies (fabulous cinematography!). Watched a documentary about Aileen Warnos; the only thing I knew of her was that Jessica Lang got huge props for being able to look ugly when she played Aileen in a movie. What an amazing piece of history the documentary is. What a tragedy. That woman was clearly NOT mentally competent, but her paranoid schizophrenia as such that she believed every version of her story. But of one thing she was perfectly coherent; the media killed her and society carried out its sentence. I have no desire to see the Hollywood version.
