Graffiti Addicted Teens Getting Help?

Posted by HorrorBBQ Views: 14,603

Graffiti Addicted Teens In Self Expression Rehab? 

A city program is now weaning graffiti artists off their addiction by training them to use acrylic paints and paintbrushes instead of paint cans.

 

Whenever a teenager is arrested for tagging in the streets, they are sent to the ten-week ‘Paint Straight’ course, which takes place at Brooklyn Family Court. Established by graffiti legend Rafael Perez (Tatu Xmen), the teens are able to relate to their teachers and understand that the lessons only work for their benefit.

 

“When I look at you I look at myself 20 years ago,” Perez said. “And one day you’re going to need a job.”


According to his estimate, Perez caused millions of dollars of damage in his time. He was never arrested, because at the time New York put all its efforts towards reducing homicide rates.

 

Graffiti book author David Villorente said “There was no real risk of getting caught until Giuliani got into office. I was still painting trains when it was a slap on the wrist.”

 

Perez told his students “I love graffiti, but now I love it legally. If somebody writes on my house I’m pissed.”


Probation Commissioner Vincent Schiraldi explained “I’m not the commissioner of cultural affairs. At the end of the day my job is to make sure these kids don’t get arrested. And this is about as good as it gets.”

 

Since the program’s inception, only one in 33 teens has been rearrested.

 

“We’re not critics,” said Sergeant Herb Mai of the NYPD’s Vandals Squad told the kids. “Some of it, if it’s on the canvas, it’s gorgeous. You have a talent. It’s an amazing talent. Use it the right way.”

Don't Say Sorry (Too Soon!!)

Don't Say Sorry Too Soon 

Let's keep it simple, when it comes to beautiful women men are fuckin' stupid. We do almost everything wrong that we aren't supposed to on a date or whatever. One of the most common mistakes is saying sorry for things you shouldn't be sorry for, yet you still say sorry because you think her beauty is like...the holy grail or something. She isn't...and she takes a shit just like you and if she doesn't shower in 1 day she will smell like you too...or worse. Treat her like a person, if she's awesome...great...if she sucks, let her know and keep moving along. Do you spend your life telling an old friend how much of an asshole they are? NO! You don't. Don't give your attention to a woman that doesn't deserve it either, and never, ever say sorry when you did nothing wrong. Be a fuckin' man. 

In my scientific study, I find that you are a fucking pu$$y if you say sorry too much. 

The Amazing Spider-Man Movie Poster!

Posted by Wildcats Views: 15,945

It's been a very busy day for fans of superhero films and it's only getting more exciting as we've managed to get our hands on the brand-new poster for Columbia Pictures' The Amazing Spider-Man!

 

You can check out the stylish design below, which features Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker scaling a wall and casting a distinctly eight-legged shadow. What's more, the tagline cryptically teases that the 3D release will tell "The Untold Story". If this doesn't get you excited for the July 3, 2012 release, nothing will!

 

The Marc Webb-directed action adventure also stars Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen and Sally Field.

Umm...so this looks pretty damn amazing to me.

Benjamin Franklin on Secrets

Charlotte Taylor 2012 Collection

Posted by ParisCollective Views: 15,557

Its springtime and the Cherry Blossoms are in Flower. We stumble upon a Bonsai tree nursery, a cohabitation of all colours, shapes and sizes. Many a generation of Bonsai stands by admiring their blossoming saplings. Sakura, a tree surgeon by trade effortlessly glides through the tree families, pruning away their untimely growth spurts, quenching their thirst and warming their hearts, bellies, leaves and trunks with a calculated move to a sundrenched lounger for an afternoon of relaxation. As the sunlight dances through their leaves Sakura makes haste for the bee hives. 

The cultivation of Bees and tree nurseries has been a fascination of hers since childhood and the dusting of intricate artwork and tattoo craftsmanship that shrouds her skin is a testament to this. Her body is the essence of the garden, personified....every inch is considered and camouflaged, from the nape of her neck, to the tips of her finger nails. 

As the day draws to a close Sakura heads home, meandering along the winding river.
Fishermen are snoozing in the last of the days sun whilst the humming birds and crickets provide the delicate yet arbitrary soundtrack. She sits on the bank momentarily to model a miniature penguin from some paper in her pocket. She had heard of one losing its way and emerging in Australia....what a journey that must have been!

Sakura is thankful for her choices, her passion and her life. She can and always will dance to the rhythm of her own drum.

Kiefer on Hirst - Destroying Art, It Becomes Art

Posted by ParisCollective Views: 15,936

In an action-packed interview with the Guardian (read it all, it’s great) on the eve of his biggest show ever in Britain, Anselm Kiefer talks about his affection for Angela Merkel, his plans to refurbish a decommissioned nuclear power station, and his thoughts on Damien Hirst. “To go to Sothebys and sell your paintings directly” — as Hirst did in 2008 — “is destroying art. But in doing it to such an exaggerated extent, it becomes art.”

David Hochbaum

dspacer
avid Hochbaum has never been a man to follow any popular, idealistic political views. David Hochbaum has never been a man to believe in any institutional faiths or religions. David has never been a boy to fit in the crowd or be "one of the boys". Yet his works evoke both a social and spiritual emotion that is universal.

    David Hochbaum's art is the construction of paintings built on photographs and images that are not only the contemplation of human behavior, but also a reaction to history, astronomy, sex, and iconoclastic symbols. While maintaining dialogue with his own behavior, each picture produces a vision from his private world bound to elements and symbols.

David Hochbaum’s  怪談集"KAIDAN ShU" 

 

David Hochbaum (NY, USA) presented 

 KAIDAN SHU; Tales of mist and wind" at 

 Strychnin Gallery this June 2011 in Berlin. 

 

   I wanted to post his paintings and share his artwork in my blog, and I also have a personal attachment. I collaborated with him as a Japanese brush calligrapher in his obake project that he spent over a year producing. 

   It is teeming with ghosts, spirits and demons. All the myths, obake, and horror I have loved for so long. He resided in Japan for a while and worked with our beautiful Japanese girl friends who weren't afraid of being models, depicted as a scary fricken ghosts that might make viewers feel haunted. These ladies almost really broke their legs.

   His world is absolutely magnificent and divine. I believe that this series will be maintained and talked about over the centuries. Timing wise, they were shown a little after the Tohoku earthquake Tsunami disaster in Japan 2011. And he charitied a fundraiser for the victims in Japan.

Lady Burns Friends House Down Over Facebook Rejection

Posted by HorrorBBQ Views: 15,237

Yo, This Bitch Is Crazy!

Authorities in Iowa say a 30-year-old woman attempted to burn down a couple’s house last week in retaliation for being unfriended in Facebook.  Jennifer Christine Harris, of Des Moines, is being held in Polk County Prison on $100,000 bond after she allegedly set fire to Jim and Nikki Rasmussen‘s garage, forcing the couple to flee their home in the middle of the night, the Des Moines Register reports.

 

The siding on the house melted and the garage roof collapsed, according to reports. The Rasmussens only managed to escape the blaze after a loud booming sound woke them up.  “It was ablaze at 1 a.m. It was just totally engulfed,” neighbor Dominic Formaro told ABC News.

Police say that investigations show Harris’ motive was connected to an argument she and Nikki had over Facebook.  “The two are no longer friends due to a dispute over Facebook,” Jim Rasmussen told officials with the Des Moines Police Department. “According to Nikki, Jen is angry with her because she ended their friendship on Facebook.”

 

According to Detective Jack Kamerick, the dispute had much to do with a Facebook event the former-best friends were planning.  “Jen asked Nikki to create an event on Facebook for a party. Nikki did that,” Kamerick told the Register. “As the date for the party approached there were a lot of ‘declines,’ on Facebook. It was looking like the party might be a bust. The dispute apparently blossomed.”

 

The tension between Harris and Nikki apparently became so great that when police asked the Rasmussens who might have wished to harm them, the couple immediately pointed the finger at their former friend.

 

Police charged Jennifer Harris with first degree arson.
