Audrey Kawasaki Preview

Audrey Kawasaki Preview

A brief preview of Audrey’s upcoming show in January has popped up online. Since I only spoke about Audrey Kawasaki’s stunning artwork this week, I thought I should show off the sneak peep to what you will be scrambling after this December.

Thanks to arrestedmotion for this.

Hit that jump to see the rest of her skeletons waiting for colour.

LED Graffiti

Halo is a project by French artist Aïssa Logerot that replaces tradition paint cans with LED “spraypaint”. Using slow exposure photography and the handheld LED can, you can imitate the technique and visual look of graffiti.

Audrey Kawasaki

Wish you were here

Audrey Kawasaki’s amazing girls.

Anime-inspired, sexually driven, and deviously sweet but seductive, Audrey Kawasaki’s girls are amazing.

The American-Japanese artist whose work has gone from best to better. She hasn’t released anything in a while, and is no doubt warming up to her solo show at Jonathan Levine Gallery NY in december.

Take a second to look back over her older work after the jump.

dietrich wegner – playhouse sculpture

Check out these amazing sculptures by Dietrich Wegner’s;

Contradictory statements in the extreme, made with some serious expertise.

A kids playhouse made from an atomic mushroom cloud, atomic explosions made from soft poly-fil, and suicide bombers made into child’s dolls.

empty space – no more!

I have been a little lazy lately… I’m not sure whether its the cold weather, the long work hours or the release of a whole bunch of geeky gaming goodness – but I have seriously neglected my blog!

That is all about to change !

In fact I have bought myself a domain to make this little wall of scribblings official. I still have a few kinks to work out but watch this space – or more accurately, watch out for kindofpretty.com – coming soon!

21 now.

Aside from that, there are heaps of things for me to catch up on – blog-wise – My twenty first birthday has been and gone. It was grrrrrreat, one of the best nights of my life. Its semi self-centered, but it was very moving to hear all the stories people had to tell and touching, sometimes embarrassing thoughts they had about me. I don’t think moments like that happen very often and it couldn’t have gone better.

Very cool venue too – the Monte Cristo Room is definitely recommended to anyone looking to add a little class to an event. There were a couple of hiccups through organizing the party, and it is quite a steep price but I wouldn’t have had it anywhere else.

small passions.

Everyone has different interests, of course! And if your lucky, then you get to earn your money doing something that interests you deeply, but the chances are your NEVER going to cover every one of your own passions in your professional life. You got to make good on your hobbies on your own time!! That is what I am trying to do more of… Some things I really have had a gaining interst in are as follows:

  1. Visual effects in film – Creating that movie magic with AfterEffects, Final Cut and PhotoShop.
  2. Architecture – Looking at the great cities of the world and finding out a little about their history and distinctive buildings – and how their put together!
  3. Illustrations – Drawing, making pictures and just being able to pick up a pencil or pen and put something on paper that your happy with. Its a good skill for birthday cards.
  4. Fabric – Getting to grips with the basics of making my own shirts, pants and cardies. Saves money and its always good to do something practical.
  5. Japanese!! 日本語を話すことができますので、私は日本にいるときに学ぶ !!

Those are my top five for the moment. I am excited about learning about all of them – I also want to know what everyone else in interested in.

What are your top five interests you want more time to pursue?

expect more.

and finally, Kindofpretty will be updated DAILY from now on. At least 1 quality post!

Hold me to it!

Ciao!
