A toast to the douchebag(s)

Hey shnookums, let's get right to it.

 

So Idk how you guys feel about Kanye West as an individual, (I know I'm not his biggest fan) but Kanye West as an artist? This dude is pretty boss. His latest, 'Runaway', a mini movie premiered just days and I finally sat down to watch it. People, the man has done it again.

I've seen a lot of mixed reviews about 'Runaway' ranging from 'epic' to '30 minutes of WTF?!' I personally loved it. The cinematography, choreography and costuming was just stunning. Here's  a brief summary from MTV just to get everyone acquainted with what's going on.

"The film revolves around West crashing into a phoenix (a mythological bird played by Selita Ebanks), whom he carries away from the flames to nurse back to health and then teach the ways of our world. Songs featured in the film include "Monster," "Power," "Keep Calling," "All of the Lights," "Devil in a New Dress," "Lost in the World" and, of course, "Runaway."  

Got it? Good. For realz, set aside 30 mins, click full screen, and watch this ish. (Btw this is the clean version, it was the only version I could find with such high quality).

 * Here's a short interview with Kanye about the use of color throughout the video.

Word!

Oh hey, Sugar Puss.

I'm taking a break from some really good procrastination to do something (somewhat) worthwhile. Snaps for Me! *snap snap*

So let's do this.  I've talked about Keri Smith on here before and I wanna share something with you from her 'How to' series. It's been in circulation for a while now but it's still awesome. I present to you...

Awesome, Amiright? I started creeping her website and stumbled upon her 'sign series,' which are basically signs she makes and uses as guerrilla art pieces. 'Nuff said? Good. Let us look at peektures!

I don't have much else to say on this post, except maybe there should be some sort of petition for one of the other contributors to this blog to actually post something. *cough* earn your keep guys *cough*  Yup. Calling you out! On the interwebs. 

 

         

          Word.

I just need to post this and then I can get my stuff done.
