Drowning Beautiful

Sometimes an artist creates something so beautifully simple that it takes your breath away…. literally. (hack line – couldn’t help it) Artist Jason de Caires Taylor creates life-size cement sculptures of people and submerges them into the waters of South America. As time passes the sculptures become part of the underwater landscape and slowly become artificial reefs ripe with marine life. The process of experiencing artwork out of a traditional gallery and underwater is described with intimately vivid detail on his site. Absolutely incredible execution merging art, life and the wild seas into an ever-evolving textured aesthetic that will hopefully stand the test of time. Although, I wouldn’t hold our breath. (Dammit! I did it again) Wow.

Pencil vs Camera

"Pencil Vs Camera is nothing but the result of a long graphic exploration and a logic consequence of my artistic evolution. It's a new concept. My primary intention was to create a "battle field" between 2 disciplines: drawing and photography, mixing imagination and reality. The only boundary is my own perception of the world. It's a very exciting project because I can share "pieces of dreams" with the world through illusion and surrealism."

Yes, I actually paid attention to the little things "kuya Vieo"

I wasn’t really paying much attention to UAAP during my first year but recently when my school [Adamson] had a stroke of luck, everyone seems to engage and update their selves, including me in the competition. J

I watched the game live in Araneta or in TV [thanks to studio 23] and by that I got the chance to know Victor Lopez, the court side reporter of our school. At first I was like “who is he?” “Why from Ateneo?”  blah blah blah... but as the season moved on I was really astounded by his chore. He is really a good reporter. Plus of course on the looks he got! Yay! Jake Cuenca, watch out! Haha. And of course on how he treated adamsonian though he is not really from my school. He’s a nice guy that’s the bottom line!

inocenti de ti :">

Soooo pogi :))

 I followed him on twitter and found out the he really has the heart of Adamsonian. The taste of excitement tweets whenever our school has a game, the cheerfulness tweets during the game, the merriment tweets when our school wins, and of course the sympathy he feels when we losses. That’s him, our own CSR.

Last time I tweeted to him, but never really anticipated that he’ll reply of course it’s only me and he got almost 1k followers but with heavens grace he did! Yes! He really did! And I was like “kuya vieo replied?? Huwaw! WOW! WOW!” Yeah! That made my whole day, if only he knew how happy I was that moment, I was really in the verge of tumbling and giggling and the like. Yes I really paid attention to that little stuff [for him] but for me, it was everything. So to keep those memories alive and kicking I’d screen shot those tweets.

So kuya vieo from the bottom and square millimetres of my heart, THANK YOU :)  <3

Graffiti tear from Literature

As we are acquainted with the meaning of literature the art of written works that maybe link in the past events, human experiences, the cultures and religion of certain place, the way of life and the form of expression of other people, we sometimes get confused of where to categorized the Graffiti. Graffiti is the term used for any images or lettering scratch, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. It is any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings. We get baffled by the meaning of graffiti that uses written words to create an artistic design that is why many people have mistakenly put graffiti under the literature. But before concluding this idea I must say now that Graffiti is not a Literature. Graffiti uses different kinds of tools of expressing their thoughts. Yes, they can use letters but it does not stick to that stuff.  Graffiti is a form of art that sometimes expresses social and political messages and a whole genre of artistic expression is based upon spray paint graffiti styles. Painting is one good example of graffiti in the modern days. It is the spray paint, and marker pens that become the most commonly used graffiti materials. Graffiti has evolved into a pop culture existence often related to underground hip hop music, b-boying, and a lifestyle that remains hidden from the general public. Graffiti is an art form worthy of display in galleries and exhibitions but to others it is merely vandalism. Marking or painting property without the property owner's consent is considered defacement and vandalism, which is a punishable crime. We can categorize graffiti as a form of arts but not a literature since it does not contain any genre of it like, poems, novels, short story, essays, drama and letter. Graffiti may consist letters but not long enough that it may contain the said genres.  In this day and age graffiti are used as a gang signal to mark territory or to serve as an indicator or tag for gang-related activity. There are many different types and styles of graffiti and it is a rapidly developing art form whose value is highly contested, hated by many authorities while also subject to protection, sometimes within the same jurisdiction that are in extremely different with the styles and types of literature and of course literature is highly regarded by others and need not any policy rule to produce or publish. Yes these two falls under arts where peoples work can be the window of the audience in their soul but it doesn’t mean that we can consider graffiti as a literature. We should not be confused in dealing these two. We have to remember that literature is not written on bathroom stalls, public billboards and walls, on school desks, and even chalked on the sidewalk. Literature is published in a formal way, like in papers where people can easily read written details.
