Lists for Blog Assignment

List 1- Books I've Read:
These are three books I was unable to put down and actually enjoyed reading
- A Million Little Pieces By James Frey
- The Kite Runner By Khaled Hosseini
- Fight Club By Chuck Palahniuk

List 2- Book I want to Read:
I'm not much of a reader so I don't really know specific titles, I mostly just have certain areas that interest me
- Biographies of people that interest me (I want to finish Scar Tissue)
- Books about drug addiction/ other hardships, and over coming them
- Graphic Novels
- I Hope they Serve Beer in Hell- By Tucker Max

List 3- Artists that Inspire Me:
- Stefan Bucher- Blown ink and sharpie artist that creates little monsters- good for hybrids
- Stina Persson- Water color artist amongst other mediums
- Winston Smith- Master collage artist (Green Day album covers and numerous others)
- Musically- Death Cab for Cutie, Band of Horses, Modest Mouse, Red Hot Chili Peppers, A Day to Remember
Sites-
Stefan Bucher
Stina Persson
Tape Site
Steele's Flickr

List 4- Other things that Interest Me (list of my choice):
- Music- lyrics, sounds, the power of song and memory, emotion
- Movies- Strange movies that make you think, deeper meanings, plot twists, artsy film techniques
- Dance- the beauty of dance moves, the ability to count (8-counts), the physical strength needed
- Snowboarding- nothing as freeing as this activity, I get lost in the motions of the board, also a physical thing, a rewarding workout

All of these things have a certain flow or structure to them that lets me in and I am able to get lost in the lyrics, plot, beat/count, and movement.  I think it only furthers my abilities as an artist.  I am able to see the art behind all of these things.

Paper Cubes

Paper cubes-only paper, no adhesive
One of the cubes is suppose to be interactive with a lid of some kind and the other is suppose to have visual aspects that are seen on the inside and outside simultaneously.

 The hello cube is the one that that the interior and exterior are seen simultaneously.


 The goodbye cube is the interactive cube with the lid.
