Architecture in Helsinki - Like It Or Not from helsinkids on Vimeo.

The last video to be made for the ‘Places Like This’ era… ‘Like It or Not’ was painstakingly stitched by The crew at Mathematics (who made the AIH clip for ‘Debbie’), directed by Josh Logue and interpreted from a coconut concerned psychedelic love fantasy emanating from the stream of consciousness of Cameron Bird.

Heres some of my propaganda material for TOMS shoes:

my toms and plushies made with fabric

i would have taken this picture with my feet but they’re kinda ugly

buy a pair of toms and they will give one to a child in need!

I’ve finally completed the bust of Snoop Dogg for sculpture class. Chuuuch!

Lewis Caroll was an avid photographer in his day, aside from being a great children’s story writer. His inspiration came from his young child friends.

Young Alice Liddell was his best friend. Check out the story on my Alice site here. Did you go to the Curiouser and Curiouser show at Nucleus? It was cool!
more pictures are at the site!

he’s the voice of the generation…
who is also gay. and a fish.

The text reads:
I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation. If it wasn’t for race mixing there’d be no video girls. Me and most of our friends like mutts a lot. Yeah, in the hood they call ‘em mutts. I don’t even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in. I have to be in a way more grimey environment to turn any rap music on. My music isnt just music, its medicine. George Bush doesn’t care about black people. Now I can let these dream killers kill my self esteem-or use my arrogance as steam to power my dreams. Come on now! How could you be me and want to be someone else? Yo Taylor, i’m really happy for you. Imma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.

A lot of people I know, including myself, will respond with “everything” when asked the question “what kind of music do you like?” This is promptly accompanied by “except for country.”

For this project, I had to make a drawing based on a country song title, but I did not have to listen to the song. The song I chose was “That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine” by Gene Autry.

The drawing has 2 color lino prints, some colored pencil, and embroidery on paper. I don’t like embroidering on paper because it is more rigid than fabric and susceptible to ugly crease lines. But it is easier to apply paint and such to.

I loves me some Bill Murray, with chest hairs!

Miranda July of Me and You and Everyone We Know made this project website called Learning to Love You More. It is a series of assignments that people would perform and then post up on the site. I wanted to do some redesign mockups, so here they are:

There are some things I would change if I had the time, but I must concentrate on getting my thesis project together o_0

Just note, whenever you feel overwhelmed or depressed or horrible, just look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you are beautiful and give yourself a big hug!

what is beer butt chicken? it is the best combination of food and drink eva!

Take a can of beer half full and stick it into the butt of the chicken so it stands upright. This helps the chicken cook more evenly and retain moisture. I used a rub consisting of salt, pepper, and emerald lagassi spice. Plus some lemon juices. And a single slice of carrot for some pazzaz.

My mom brought home a whole dead chicken and said to cook it however I could and eat it. At first I thought the chicken was marinated in some kind of sauce, but that turned out to be blood. I had to cut off the feet and the head. I also had to cut out the heart, which was still attached inside the chicken. Some other organs still remained too. Yucktastic.

Ben is a bear. But he looks like a human. That’s because he is wearing a human’s skin. See, he didn’t like his life in the woods so Ben went into the city in pursuit of happiness. Much to his despair, all the humans there didn’t like him and wanted him to leave town. But instead of leaving, Ben snuck into someone’s house and killed a human with a knife, psycho style. Then he skinned the dead body and made it into a suit that Ben now wears to fit in with the rest of the humans. He was different but now he’s just like everyone else.
