Grace Jones vs. Eiko Ishioka

Grace Jones recently preformed in New York a few months ago with a full show's worth of costumes designed by Eiko Ishioka (costume designer for Dracula, The Cell; directed the video for Bjork's Cocoon). This is space-age shamanism at it's best. Check out Music Slut for an extensive look at all the wonderful costumes through photos and Frieze Magazine for some video clips of the spectacle.

sick as a fucking horse

I'm getting sick again and I have so much shit to do. I was suppossed to start working today on creating stuff but It feels like a horse is sitting on me......somebody shoot me.

So I got back from DesignerCon, last night. I had one hour of sleep and was there for approximately 8 hours. I didn't sell anything but it's okay; It was the vinyl toy crowd and I don't have vinyl toys (Plus I only had 3 items, so that didn't help). I had a lot of fun though and learned a lot. I did receive a gift. The Designer from Bored Inc. gave me a free toilet paper cozy at the end of the day; I kept bringing people to her booth all day 'cause her products are SO FUCKING CUTE. Check it out, bitch www.boredinc.net. I'm pooped.

God, I look stoned (that's 'cause I was).

Join Me Tomorrow @ DesignerCon in Pasadena

Come on out! Check out the DesignerCon website for more info.

Office people can suck my fat dick

So when I was employed, I had this thing with PARS that was like a "retirement fund" where they took money out of my check every month. Well, I've been unemployed for close to 3 months and I still haven't gotten a fucking refund from my account ( I could sure as fuck use the money for rent and bills). I had been calling for months and gotten the run around so finally I gave up. I call today and the stupid guy asks (our conversation went something like this:

dumbfuck: you didn't get our package in the mail, in October?

Me: Nooooooo....

dumbfuck: Ok, well are you still at xxxx Plymouth Ave?

Me: No, I've NEVER lived there, that's probably WHY I haven't received anything.

dumbfuck: Ok, well what's your new address?

Me: The ONLY address I've had living here is....

IT'S NOT A NEW ADDRESS, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! I'VE LIVED HERE THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME, YOU FUCKING STUPID FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT. NOW GIVE ME MY MOTHERFUCKING MONEY, BEFORE I SHOOT YOU IN YOUR FUCKING FACE.

Thanks.

I rode my bike through the industrial area near my apartment on Sunday and took these gritty ass pictures. I love the lighting here; it's inspiring and actually a little scary...even for me.

New MM Video

New Marilyn Manson Video. Pretty violent but I love it. Don't watch, if you don't wanna see girls getting beaten and killed. Watch, if you wanna see girls getting beaten and killed.

Kimber Berry is really inspiring me right now. I have been on a similar wavelength lately, visually. the only difference is she acted on it. Well, actually she's been doing this kind of work for years so it's only a coincidence That I've had these images and colours in my mind lately. Check these images out then check out her website www.kimberberry.com

The inspiration and end result are two entirely different things and should RARELY ever meet.

Ask For Answers

Time to pass you to the test.
Hanging on my lover's breath.
Always coming second best.
Pictures of my lover's chest.
Get through this night, there are no second chances.
This time I might.
To ask the sea for answers.
Always falling to the floor, softer than it was before.
Dog boy - media whore, it's who the hell you take me for.

Give up this fight, there are no second chances.
This time I might.
To ask the sea for answers.
These bonds are shackle free, wrapped in lust and lunacy.
Tiny touch of jealousy, these bonds are shackle free.

Get through this night, there are no second chances.
This time I might.
To ask the sea for answers.
These bonds are shackle free
These bonds are shackle free

Get through this, there are no second chances.
This time. To ask the sea for answers.

Forever

Infinity stretches on limitlessly
countless days pass by immeasurably
Anniversaries gutter in the maelstrom
whorling a snowstorm of lustrous millennium
We couldn't stay together
this couldn't last forever
Senses dissolve into soliloquies
flooding ascent in synchronicity
But we couldn't stay together
I knew this wouldn't last forever
Forever just one more tie then never
this is the last string to sever
On and on yes it goes on and on
I could stay wherever
I would last forever
Forever just one more tie then never
this is the last string to sever
forever never forever
This is the last string to sever
I have lost you for ever and ever

needles in a haystack

This one was a real doozy. Me and my fiance were hanging out with some people and somehow we all got split into groups and I ended up alone. It was dark and I somehow ended up in a hotel and I had a room; how I acquired it is a mystery to me (much like the whole of this dream). In my frustration, I was trying to get a hold of my fiance but every time I called him on my cellphone I was either half asleep or the connection was weird and he sounded all muffled; I somehow learned that he was at home; I was confused.

I was just hanging out in my cool hotel room when i heard some weird shit going on outside (Think I was pretty high up) There were people with guns pointing them up at the hotel windows. My perspective changed and I could see everyone in their hotel rooms (all walls and everything turned to glass, it was pretty beautiful) and some were closing their blinds and curtains and I followed suit. I then proceeded to turn off the lights in my room and the television set, as to not attract any attention to myself. Now there were television stations outside and a big ruckus was going on. The hotel manager went on a megaphone ( I think he was standing outside with the terrorists). He was telling everyone in the hotel not to pay any attention to them. He said by not paying attention to them, they would eventually just disappear.

So I try to terrorist-proof my hotel room and find that it is beautifully designed...lots of pieces that can become detached...not very terrorist-proof though, I suppose. So I go on living my life (I guess I live here now)...I remember something about standing on someones toilet...hmmm...don't know what became of that. The strangest thing about this place was the light; it was almost pitch black at times but I could manage to see somehow, other times it was dusk-like.

I'm walking down the hallway, on one of the floors and all of a sudden the criminals are there and they try to pin me down and stick me with needles and I think I escaped but I don't know what happened after this, I can't remember. I hope it ended well!? Maybe I just woke up.

Fuck, I want to see the fucking Hello Kitty Exhibition!

My Tattoo

This is one of several signs used to symbolize the art of esoteric alchemy. The sun sign is at the center surrounded by the two elemental triangles crowned with the Christian cross, all placed inside a circle representing the eternal or spiritual dimension and its endless possibilities.

I figured it out

My design persona, Ain Soph Aur is like a filter. Something I can take my time with, gathering ideas like I'm gathering berries in the wilderness for the long winter stretch. Like a fine meal that's been slow cooked, so when everyone sits down to eat, everyone ends up staying for three hours, taking their time to eat, having discussions, laughing, and drinking wine.

Everything else I do is everything and anything; no filter. Fueled by the need to create...anything. It's me throwing my feces out of my cage.

slip 'n' slide

So I had another strange dream. I was hanging out with my cousins that I don't talk to anymore in what seemed like a dance hall. We were laughing and shooting the shit and whatnot. I think we were celebrating one of their weddings.

(A lot of fuzziness after this but on to the next scene).

I was at school yet again (yes, I realize this is getting excessive with this school business). It was weird, I had the feeling of when I was in middle school but put through a sepia filter, strange. This place was massive, it was located in a secluded place in what looked like the great wall of china of a gated school, complete with a river on the side and a jungle. I was in class with some of my closest friends: Kory was one of them.

All of a sudden they were all ganging up on me; they were mad at me for doing something and I couldn't figure out what for, no matter how many times I asked. I felt abandoned and confused and even people I didn't know would look at me and snicker.

Through all of this, the only friend that was there by my side, assuring me that everything would be fine, was my friend JD. He turned up out of nowhere and was there, comforting me. The both of us left the classroom and attempted to flee the grounds.We were running down the stairs and it was getting muddier and muddier (I think we may have even seen ghosts).

All of a sudden we turn a corner and were outside but he's gone. I don't see him anywhere. I think he ran too fast and just disappeared or something; I'm not quite sure what happened but I'm alone again.

But before I even have time to process any emotions, what I had walked into outside is in actuality, a live commercial for tourism. As in, it is being performed the way people just start singing out of nowhere in musicals and is supposed to be taken as real life, sincerely.

It was so fucking strange: weird blobby people are being unloaded from buses like some twisted ren and stimpy cartoon, people are being poured into giant trays like they're being made into deviled egss but it's a spa treatment. And there's mud everywhere but not like resort/spa mud. It was the kind of mud you'd find underneath the sole of your soggy boot, it even smelled like dirty boots.

I didn't know what to think and then I remember something about a man trying to help me swing from a vine so I can jump into the lake.

Eaten Alive

I had such a strange nightmare today. Something about being in a supermarket...don't remember too much about it; just a strange feeling of uneasiness permeating the air. I had to spend a deal of time finding a rifle and assembling it for some reason...I was with a group of people in what seemed like an abandoned mansion.


(I forget a lot of what happened but I remember something about children controlling everything in this world).


All of a sudden, we're in a room and one of my comrades is literally being eaten alive by some one before my very eyes. It was pretty gruesome and everyone is just sitting around with rifles in their hands and not doing anything, in a complete daze. I'm frantically trying to assemble my rifle together so that I can shoot the man/creature devouring my friend but I can't get my shit together in time to save him. So he's been completely consumed now and in his place is blood and saliva on the floor; pretty fucking extreme. So I walk around the gunk, casually stating that I'm just gonna go to the bathroom (to cry); surely this is the end.


So I go into the bathroom and there is a couple in there taking their daughter to pee so I wait for them to be done so I can go in. I enter the stall and all of a sudden the whole bathroom is filled with an immense amount of foot traffic, like people are just passing through like it's a sidewalk or something. As I'm peeing, someone comes out of the wall, right in front of me and steps down the toilet: it's the guy that had just been eaten alive (but he's someone else now and wearing a green flannel shirt). I'm done peeing and another friend is with me and we're talking to this guy, laughing about something. We say our goodbyes and he blends in with the rest of the crowd passing through. Me and my friend start to walk out and pass by my ex-boss, John (who's actually dead in real life), smile at each other, walk past him and join the crowd, walking out.

It's kinda funny, The way people tell you "let's hang out" for years on end but nothing ever comes of it. How people just fall by the wayside. If people aren't willing to meet me halfway, what's the use in keeping up the charade? It's always the same story: what have you been up to, we need to hang out when blah blah blah, etc....

It's funny because I'm just moving forward in my life and these are the people that stay stuck, never doing anything new, pretty sad. But I'll just forget about them as things progress. I mean, it's just pretty funny.

12 REASONS GAY MARRIAGE WON'T WORK

1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control are not natural.

2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people cannot get legally married because the world needs more children.

3. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children because straight parents only raise straight children.

4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful, since Britney Spears's 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.

5. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and it hasn't changed at all: women are property, Blacks can't marry Whites, and divorce is illegal.

6. Gay marriage should be decided by the people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of minorities.

7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are always imposed on the entire country. That's why we only have one religion in America.

8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people makes you tall.

9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage license.

10. Children can never succeed without both male and female role models at home. That's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.

11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to cars or longer lifespans.

12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a "separate but equal" institution is always constitutional. Separate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages will for gays & lesbians.

Hello Kitty: Celebration!

It's here! It's Hello Kitty's 35Th Anniversary and to celebrate there's a huge exhibition at Royal/T from October 23 to November 14, called Three Apples. Head over to the events page to see all the fun stuff they've got planned, including a huge retrospective, special sushi making days, Hello Kitty Happy Hour and Karaoke, Meet the Artists party, fashion Shows and much much more!

I'm so excited; Hello Kitty has and still continues to be such a big inspiration in my life and in my work; this is a dream come true. The USA has never done anything like this and is sure to cause some colourful waves. I respect Hello Kitty's wonderful character designs and amazing product designs, graphics, and everything that make this such a unique experience. Hello Kitty would be my dream collaboration, by far.

So...who's in on the shenanigans with me?

And you should not seperate from me

I have a heart that's full of light

Feel my hands, feel my life

I know where the foam is changing
I know that the stars will fall on me

I want bear-nanas!

Things rarely work out the way you want them to; whether good or bad you have to just move forward and know that things will work out the way they're supposed to. Sometimes you'll be surprised how things end up better than you could have imagined; that's the beauty of life.
