Frail Words Collapse

We're doing digital illustrations based on subcultures. One of mine is goth, obviously.

Drawing is based on a photo I took of Bayan, wearing a Pleasure Principle sweatshirt from Carte Blanche.

love and confusion

a 39 steps dedication to one of my favorite people in the world - who helped come up with the name of the blog on the day of this shoot - we conqured doubt in the midst of the unknown and reminded each other to live or let die. ima miss you boo - until im riding out west with you...:)

steven meisel. duh.

Although the sexual sell, overt and

subliminal, is at a fever pitch in most

advertising, depictions of sex as an

important and potentially profound

human activity are notably absent.

Couples in ads rarely look at each

other. It is a cold and oddly passionless

sex that surrounds us. A sense of joy is

also absent; the models generally look

either hostile or bored. Our culture is

sex-crazed and sex-saturated, but

strangely unerotic.

yesterday i walked in a park for 3 hours. During this time we put our hands on the surface of a beautiful old tree for at least 5 minutes, crawled into a fort made naturally from bushes/reeds/sticks and stones, and made believe that there were fairies and lost knowledge in a great forest of illusion - in other words, let the grass in our lungs open our minds to the possibilities of perception that being a child endorsed. imagination before procreation. pure and innocent exploration. curiosity without a mobile to distract your streaming thought. no cameras to judge the moment. only sugar coated eyes and magical feet that take you into the world you create.

5 ways to avoid homework...

1. clean (unnecessarily)
2. make a complex meal (from the cookbook you havn't opened for a year)
3. write grandma back a letter...and maybe even go mail it
4. go to the gym, (it's something you've been meaning to do)
5. put up a new shelf/curtains whatever you don't have but could

and my solution...drink just one glass of wine..and then another...until your roomates come home and get drunk with you.

i got fever.

holy shit.

Depicts 2.4 million pieces of plastic, equal to the estimated number of pounds of plastic pollution that enter the world's oceans every hour. All of the plastic in this image was collected from the Pacific Ocean.

also done by Chris Jordan.

Chris Jordan. These birds were all found dead like this after mom and dad flew out to remote areas to get "food" which consisted of plastic bottle caps among other various items of garbarge we've disposed of over the years - all disposed of in their little bellies. without the nutrients needed to survive the birds died -

When i saw the bird all i could think is that in a matter of time our dead bodies wont be too far off...
