A Painting Badass

See this?  Are you looking at it?  Well look closer.  Cause you're sure as simple not going to believe what I'm about to tell you.  You ready?  ............ Wait for it ................. Those Fish ......... and that water ............ are PAINTED INTO THE BARREL!

I know, I didn't believe it at first either.  But it's true.  Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori uses resin to create 3-demensional fish in "Water" aka clear resin.  Now I don't know about you.  But whenever I paint, it is extremely hard for me to achieve any level of realism.  I am absolutely amazed by this man's attention to detail and patience to create something so lifelike. 

Below I have added a link to a site that has a beautiful video of him working on just such a project.  Enjoy!  And be amazed!

Boredom and Other Cyber-Brainwashed States of Mind

So as I'm sitting here procrastinating my homework (Grrrrr German 3) I'm feeling slightly guilty.  Because truly, my boredom is my own fault fault.  So many people today on Facebook or other social networks feel the need to post statuses about boredom, or other such things of equal or lesser value.  So I suggest that we all get off our cyber-brainwashed asses and go learn something.  Here's a link to a likeminded individuals solution to our problem.

Love This Corset. I think it's a real work of art, don't you?

:P

Hello all, It's nice to meet you.  I'm sure we're all going to get along splendidly.   My name is... not important.  The purpose of this blog is... undetermined.  Let's just see what happens shall we???  As you might be able to see, I dance.  Above is where it all starts for me.  Happy happy ballerina!  It's all 1st position, 2nd, 4th, 5th!  Plie, Sote!  Typically dancery.  Bla, bla, bla boring.

Then of course there's the world of PERFORMANCE.  Silky dresses, flowy ness and sh**.  :P  Anywho, though you might think it's lame, this kind of thing is standard for the every day dancer of my variety.  It's beautiful of course, but   not very relatable.

Of course all the beauty above is means to an end.  We all have our reasons for getting into this.  And we have serious commitment and love for our craft.  The silky sweet Lyrical dance and ballet are my means to this end.  

So Romantic
