Favorite Pics
of the Week.
Just some pictures I've been collecting this week that I wanted to share with you in one blog post. Enjoy :-)
Five Finger
Skeleton
Hand Ring
This is a pretty serious ring right here. Never seen anything like it. All it needs are some spikes coming out of the knuckles for some special street smart protection while looking pretty emo.
Rose McGowan could bite me if she wanted to. I wouldn't give a shit if she sucked my blood and made me a vampire. lol

High Fashion Bananas
These banana as object artworks are incredible. I also think I like the idea that the work itself rots away and it can only exist afte by photograph. There's something really human about that.
As he says on his site “I enjoy taking jokes seriously, until they become ‘art’ in one way or another. My artworks are often the accidental outcome of playful interactions between the materials and myself.”
Artist Bio:
In a way, even my name ‘Kazuki Guzmán’ is an important reflection of my unique heritage. My father is a macho Chilean and my mother is a delicate lady from Japan. Because of them, my work reflects not only the things I love, but also my most essential character traits. My cultural background, my personal experiences, my family, friends, and hobbies are common themes shown in my pieces; the convergence of their disparate origins is an important part of what makes my work dynamic. I take confidence in my art and use it as a way of expressing my feelings, as well as my appreciation and love for the people, places, and things that make me Kazuki Guzmán.
Like my own history, my media is never fixed; my artworks range from large installations that are activated by the space or the viewers, to series of sculptures made from everyday objects. I consider my art practice as part of a playful exploration of ideas and materials. The notion of ‘play’ is at the core of my art practice. I enjoy taking jokes seriously, until they become ‘art’ in one way or another. My artworks are often the accidental outcome of playful interactions between the materials and myself. I equally enjoy allowing my materials to define the context of my artwork, and conversely, the challenge of letting the context of my work dictate the material execution. Most of my inspirations arise from mundane events: a trip to the antique store, revisiting children’s books and toys, or buying groceries. Most importantly, I strive for intricacy and exquisite craftsmanship in my work, while focusing on not loosing my very whimsical sense of humor and play.

Rick James created the internet. So, he belongs in this post too.
Just because these guys went out of business, Netflix likes to believe we are all a bunch of idiots. Little do they know! We can make them end up like a famous video store that killed all "other" video stores with their greed and stupid late fees.
