Dave Kinsey

So I do a lot of looking around with different artists seeing what all there is out there and just get on the internet and search around. I look at artists I've already seen and look at their links page which then leads me to other artists. 

Well, I've recently befriended an artist on facebook that came in to talk to our class at the beginning of the semester about his own art. His name is Fahamu Pecou and deals with issues that are going on in today's african american culture and the obsession with celebrities and fame and how they influence today's people and today's black man. He has some great work going and you can go to his website Fahamu Pecou. It's pretty funny how he became well known which intertwines with his work. He basically got frustrated with art galleries not noticing or even looking at his work and finally just started posting stickers everywhere around town saying "Fahamu Pecou is the SHIT!" Well you better believe people started noticing him then and his work goes on from there. With him coming in to talk to the class has been a huge influence on a project that I plan on continuing to work on in the future dealing with the obsession of famous people or characters and how it starts at youth. 

Anyways, I see on my "news feed" that Fahamu "became a fan" of Dave Kinsey. I looked at Dave's work and he's got some awesome stuff. I get really excited when I see someone's stuff that I really like and go back to their websites to just stare at it. I love how he displays the lines in the subject faces (if there is a person) and it shows so much expression and emotion. You can look at his work here...... Dave Kinsey 

Here are a few of his works.

Meaningless

I was reading this morning in Ecclesiastes about enjoying where you are in life. Enjoy it while you're young. Enjoy it while you're old. 

In chapter 11 verses 8-10 it says: 

When people live to be very old, let them rejoice in every day of life. But let them also remember there will be many dark days. Everything still to come is meaningless.

Young people, it's wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do. So refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you, is meaningless.

The "Everything still to come is meaningless" and "remember that youth.... is meaningless" is so true. 

Duh! It's in the Bible!

But one of my thoughts on this is...... I don't think we will ever truly know how meaningless it all really is until our bodies are buried and our souls are with him.

Your book the Bible.

Dear God,

I know your book, the Bible, is the best thing for anyone's soul to read and don't strike me down for saying this. BUT. Your book really sucks for those of us that HATE to read AND there are no pictures. There are some of us that need pictures YO! Yes, there are times that it does help me out as it should, and has all the information on everything I need to know to live my life. I know I' might be called a heretic for saying this but I HATE READING THE BIBLE! I hate to read your book. It is really boring to me. Hand over the Bible picture book please. Thank You.

Your frustrated little lamb,

Rachel 

P.S. I Love You and thank You for brazilian music, I love listening to it on Pandora.

Wall of Words

So, I found this website that just has a bunch of pictures of walls with graffiti on it. Some of them are really awesome and so creative and then there are some that are just gross and don't need to be displayed for the world to see. But all in all these are peoples thoughts and how they express them. Sometimes this is the best way they can do it.

This is the website.... http://www.picturesofwalls.com/
