Jin Young Yu: Army of Transparencies

“My figures express the loneliness of people living today. The transparent body means a perfect shield that makes it possible to hide itself anywhere, while the crying face represents a warning: ‘Don’t come towards me!’ I intend to remind viewers of the loneliness of people in this modern society, where there is little of true communication.” And as for an overall theme? “I want to get away from the plastic smiles and fake facial expressions,” Young explains.



"Whether it’s a flowered frock, somber mask, or small hand puppet, each accessory acts as an additional prop for concealing the individual’s true feelings and emotions, making each work of art as much about secrecy as about revelation."

This is a very intriguing concept to me, and she expressed her perspective in a very unique manner. For more info and pics click here...

Robin Thicke: "Sex Therapy"

I've been trying to think of what the conversation would sound like at "Sex Therapy." I think it would be absolutely hilarious. I'm just going to listen to the song though... lol

Robin Thicke: "Sex Therapy"

Wale ft. Colin Munroe: "Bittersweet"

I can say that since I enrolled at Howard University in 2005, I have been blessed to witness the rise of Wale as an influential lyricist in the DC Metropolitan Area and beyond. He has graced our campus with his presence many a time, and I only wish him more success on his musical journey. Colin Munroe is quite the talent as well...

Check out this new song created by the two...

Wale's debut album, "Attention Deficit" is due out November 3, 2009.

TOAST TO THE LEGENDS... "Bootsy Collins"

William "Bootsy" Collins,
Born October 26, 1951 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Collins had a huge influence on the world of music in which we now live. Rising to prominence with the legendary James Brown in the 1960's, and taking his creative genius further during the 70's with the Parliament-Funkadelic, "Bootsy" not only understood how to manipulate the bass guitar with impeccable timing; he also understood and expressed the soul it requires to play the bass guitar... Definitely one of my personal favorites

Ralph Lauren Spring 2010 Collection..

The man never disappoints,

James Jarvis for New London

This incredibly talented illustrator, who has received endless praise for his style of art throughout Europe and the U.S., will be featured via New London. From October 12-26th, followers will be able to watch Jarvis-via webcame-go through his creative process when addressing a new illustration. Starting October 12th the feature can be seen at: newlondon.com.fr:80: (but I'm hearing the compatibility with U.S. servers is uncertain).. Nevertheless, his work is dope.

"Glow In The Dark Tour" Photo Book

Indeed, you've read the title correctly,
The events of the ground-breaking "Glow In The Dark" Tour-showcased by Kanye West-will be available to the public via photo book. The book includes an interview w/tour collaborator Spike Jonze, 288 pages w/gatefolds ("9 5/8 x 13") 400 photographs, CD with unreleased music & interviews. The trade edition is available on amazon.com, and the limited edition is available through "Rizzoli Bookstore".. 1800-52-BOOKS. I was lucky enough to witness this tour first-hand, live in Madison Square Garden and trust me; you won't want to miss out on the opportunity to see inside the creative process of everything this tour had to offer. And from an artistic standpoint, as a photographer/student of music, I'm sure this photo book won't disappoint.

The actual show won't air until 10/13, but this was a huge performance so I though I'd enlighten the masses..

Drake Talks Knee Surgery, New Album, and Acting...

Supposedly Drake and The Dream will be collabing on a song, entitled "Shut It Down," for the rookie's first album "Thank Me Later" slated for a February release.

The album is also supposed to feature the likes of Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Jay-Z and "a couple of guests that may be very much surprises for a hip-hop album. I just want to give people a musical experience. I like to open up the minds of the fans in my genre."

I'm highly anticipating his album in hopes that it will raise the bar for quality music in mainstream Hip Hop. No pressure sir...

Counting Crows & Friends Revolutionizing Live Concerts

Just thought this was interesting... It'd be cool to see how a concert like this unfolds, and how much better it would make the show.
