>>anthony vaccarello<<

so i’ve been obsessed with the song ‘black and gold’ by sam sparro, then my sister sent me this other link before i could dump the mr sparro song into my overplayed list. the song is called breathless, here are the first 2 lyrics:

I’m hunting shadows in the dark
And steaming jungles of the world,
Either to kill or to be killed,
By creatures never named or heard,

I’m lifting wishes to the stars,
The gleaming satellites of time,
Orbiting circles overhead
To futures when your love is mine,

listen to breathless by dan wilson.

it is just as consuming as anthony vaccarello‘s designs. you can thank me later ♥

>>the above items resonate Toni’s persona (my older sister)<<

basically she’s in ny right now, and i’m on risd grounds prepping up for freshman orientation. she’s got this awesome internship with doo ri. if you do not know about this fashion designer  i highly suggest you click here.

enjoy some more digestive info about her (other than her absolut Awesomeness):

Toni is short for antoinette. She covets the fast-paced life of the city but relishes doing all that nonsense that is solely appropriate for the rural setting; nonsense such as walking on rooftops + raping the park on a boiling cancer-saturated afternoon + camping out in our own bedroom (and YES there is a makeshift tent included). She can’t help writing ‘DO NOT TOUCH…ON PAIN OF DEATH’ on pretty much all her property ; adores eating sunshine toast, mexican wedding ball cookies, + jam; loves asking me to aid + abet in all her unlawful activity (like sunbathing on the roof, mom FLIPPED + mom never flips). Regarding music she listens to pretty much everything but i remember the first ever album she bought was ‘PINK.’ Toni is more than addicted to adding more work to her already heavily-burdened schedule, and deleting her ‘Recent activity’ on facebook cause it isn’t aesthetically pleasing. She also came up with the oh so brilliant idea of coloring our faces in w/ charcoal. Real, burnt, rock-hard charcoal.

+ Toni helped me discover the artist responsible for that amazing song ‘BLACK + GOLD‘, and she NEVER thinks twice about speaking her mind. Never.

a day just like any other

By mara elisa nocon ticzon 08.17.10

view from our living room at sundown finishing up; sow-cietyi know it says fearless on the painting but it's actually titled 'short-sighted'it evolved into utopiablack and white utopia

>>utopia + excess + acrylic + paint thinner + hollow spaces + Awesome post-it + absolut peach & other liquids + butterscotch pencil + sow-ciety  + urban/tribal settings + my world + “i see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” <<

1. the view outside our living room at sundown ♥

2. my desk

3. ‘Short-sighted’ an acrylic painting by me :)

4. the painting amidst everyday addictions..

5. black + white tastes good

Based on a collage filled with magazine cut outs this painting portrays the short-sighted perception of false bravado + machismo. The shades of yellow are symbolic of the cowardice that lies masked beneath these surface deep attitudes. Following this train-of-thought I decided to highlight the skin tones of the center-front lady; in order to parallel the idea of magnifying the hidden shades of her persona, accenting her true base colors….the result adds an unshakeable tribal core to the painting.  The glasses further emphasize her need for greater clarity, and the tilted, imbalanced vertical lines push this idea.  Her oversized hat is literally + metaphorically an all-consuming vacuum that presents the-blind-leading-the-blind mentality; a society of individuals so concerned w/ the opinions of others that they feel impelled to copy/paste regardless of whether or not they find a trend truly tasteless. Laaaaame. For example in Mean Girls (which by the way is an AWESOME film) the Queen Bee, Regina George, finds her tee defaced. Unfazed she continues to wear it despite her bra showing through two peep holes… the school follows suite. But like I said, it’s short-lived, just like the overly bright/ripe fruit in the painting.

ps. it’s incredible how ideas just evolve….the above was supposed to just be

soooo today started at 3am, my alarm went off, + for about 5 mins i watched the silhouettes patterning against the wall as car lights went by…until eventually those gray scale color-blocks turned into soft borderline appearances at the point of sleep. fast forward to 7am;  oatmeal heaven; then jumped into the pool and did what i was supposed to do yesterday; lie on the bottom with a slab of rock on my stomach, watch the surreal breaking lights + hear nothing. jumped back out, pushed my painting deadlines to next week + resolved to get it done before the end of the month…then burned time by flitting through luisaviaroma, notjustalabel (again), cooperative designs, other ppl’s blogs,  burberry collections dating all the way back to lucky 2008, creatures of comfort, the porter empire, newly discovered stantonjames.com, twitter + raphael young’s head-over-heels heels. then i realized my winter clothes still needed to be bought so i ran all over till my flats wore out…so tomorrow i’m going flat hunting. Lusting for an exact replica. Black w/ a hand-tied bow.

Also, the above photos are click-able. CLICK NOW because now is the time + place to be trigger happy ♥

psssst: listen to augustana’s ‘boston’ + regina spektor’s ‘eet’ + ‘braille’+ get addicted.

Amore; deformed + fallen chandelier; graphite and coal-casted skulls; liquid-like symmetries composed of ball pen lines; contorted silhouettes of trees stretching beyond the canvas; and the mirror picket-fence smashed, reflecting the ‘dream ’ right back at you. These incredible artworks belong to my friend costantino zicarelli. He’s half-filipino + half-italian, though resides in the Philippines. His fixation on morbid taboo themes came to the fore as I scoured through ‘NOT JUST A LABEL’ and encountered fashion items such as ‘The Nowhere Tank Top’ by aoi kotsuhiroi, spinal jewelry crafted with real coyote + snake bones dipped in sterling silver by ayaka nishi, as well as the ‘BLACK AS BLACK’ headpieces of savannah wyatt inspired by “various things such as flappers, warriors and Jesus’ crown of thorns.”  ‘NOT JUST A LABEL’ offered a Ton of avant-garde limited pieces but I didn’t appreciate any of them as much as these select few pieces. You should click on the underlined links to discover MORE…

ps. ‘NOT JUST A LABEL’ may not be as developed as net-a-porter, but it head-butt’s the porter empire on my bookmarks list.

I was going to post this on Saturday cause it’s got that really lethargic feel and effect on me.  Then I realized I was gonna be in laguna, and internet is close to nonexistent there.  But hats off to alessandra ambrosio, photographer will davidson, and russh magazine aug 2010! To view the video click here, here, + here!

+ It’s my first text-lite post, easy on the after-Friday-night liver mentality. Titled ‘Music by Land,’ the’ spread opens with this chilling sentence:  ‘Sometimes when you least expect it, all you were hiding comes undone.’ How Appropriate. I think the last shot portrays that bipolarity beautifully.
