HARLOT INC.

ok.. so i'm trying to figure out what i'm good at, what i need,
what i want to do

if anything this blog is a reflection of my complete lack of direction and motivation.

i have so much to say and so many ideas and things i want to do, dabble in.

the list is long and can be vague at times.

but i keep hoping to find something that sticks out.
one or two things to focus my creative energy on, or something that will keep my attention.

but i've realized that might not happen and why should i limit myself anyways.
therefore,
i've decided to just build an empire out of the unknown.

so if you actually pay attention to this blog, then well, you're patient.
also i don't know what future posts hold.. but i do know
i'm shameless. and i'm a great promoter. therefore this blog and the many other online shits i'm into will end up being very egocentric.
get ready world- i'm finally trying.

ICEPICK

In Icepick (Gingko Press; hardcover, $29.95), Icelandic graphic designer Thordis Claessen surveys her homeland's vibrant street art and finds it invigorating and inspiring. Covering a wide range of themes and subject matters–from Icelandic icons to shagging sheep, from Sigur Rós' stencilism to trumpet-playing tortoises, from blunt demands for world peace to wishes for a dramatic death (rather than a slow, painful one from tuberculosis)–Icepick is at its most powerful and compelling when transcending graffiti's overt New York influence and finding currency in a particularly Scandinavian brand of freakish folk art. (Check Surkula's simultaneously ugly/beautiful swan-armed goblins and skeletal dark-eyed women with fish bones in their bellies for starters.) But for Claessen, a well-placed sticker or a simple chalk-drawn slogan (such as "It's cold and hard to live in the Icelandic nature alone") is equally worthy of documenting as a painstakingly rendered piece. Look at the streets in a different way, urges the designer. "Graffiti and street art is an uncensored art form that hits you on the street corner and generally has a short lifespan," says Claessen. "Sometimes it really speaks to us. Sometimes it even gives us a great laugh."

JinJonJim Art Collective

Monday, 31 March 2008

"Crab Jackson along with two friends, Jeremy Kennedy and Shane Edge, recently formed the JinJonJim Art Collective. All three artists are based in the college town of Bloomington, Indiana (go Hoosiers!) and have been showing their work all over, both independently and collectively. It’s clear all three are talented, but what we love most about JinJonJim is its DIY attitude, rooted in the simple love of art and its transformative powers. This pencil, marker, and acrylic on paper piece by Jackson is titled Take the Bait, but the image itself really says it all. So, take the bait and give www.jinjonjim.com the old once over."
