Art and Food Go Hand and Hand

CHECK OUT THESE AWESOME BENTO BOXES!!!

SOMEONE'S MOMMY REALLY LOVES THEM!

So I think we should make these in AP art after we're done with out concentration pieces. Or, at least, attempt to. Because that would be awesome. We could make it into secret santa with bento box art and give it to someone at the end or have a potluck sort of thing. Wouldn't this be the coolest project ever? It's always great when you make stuff you can eat!
That's, at least, what I think. But I guess the project would have to take a class period (due to food freshness) so there are some flaws to my idea...

Run on recap (spring break edition)

Hey guys out there!

It's me, Ashley.

Here to tell you 10 highlights of my spring break.

1) I went to Great Wolf Lodge. I came back with a cold. Went on the tornado (later named nortado because my sister used to call tornado's nortados).

2) I bought the best shoes ever (top) for $16 and Harajuku lovers shoes (bottom) for $2. THANK YOU ROSS! And, no, my feet aren't actually that large. The Harajuku lovers ones are a size too large. But my feet stayed in them if I tied them so... $2 isn't bad at all.

3) Then Urban Outfitters had a tights sale! 2 for $20! So the tights (nicknamed the 'tattoo tights') I had been eyeing since January, that were $18 online +$3 shipping, were $10 in store! I guess my patience paid off.

4) I finished my art 3/4 painting... after... managing to ruin the background... because I didn't have the correct blue. Only to figure out that I did but I never used it because I couldn't get the cap off. Yeah, not good times.

5) I watched Hachiko: A Dog's Story and cried.

6) I played laser tag for the first time ever with my boyfriend, on his birthday. I had my butt handed to me by some maniacs from another team...

7) I saw my sister for the first time since Thanksgiving.

8) Watched Shen Yun at the Keller Auditorium and realized it was kinda anti-communism propaganda disguised as redundant dancing/ storytelling.

9) Got a letter back from SCAD telling me I received $5,000 a year worth of artistic scholarships. That makes $13,000 a year for SCAD and $15,000 a year for MCAD thus far.

10) I had a week off of school. That's always rockin'.

HEY GAIZ I BOUGHT A PRINT

So... I kinda felt compelled to buy MY FIRST print after Lindsay talked about the one she has purchased. However, mine isn't signed or very large... but it was $20! Funny thing is it's an artist I've never really taken notice to before, Ippei Gyoubu.

The Last Supper

I'm surprised my aunt wasn't raising a brow due to the fact that I purchased a picture that was a re-make of a very dramatic story/ time period in Christianity. I don't mean to be blasphemous or anything but I really liked the picture. (perhaps because it's anime and based off of a famous painting...) I think it's about... 8 1/4 inches in height and 18 1/4 inches in width.

Thank COMPOUND in Portland for it. If you take the Green line, going towards PSU you pass it before pioneer mall place... thingeh. Their website, with prints and artwork, is JustBeComplex.com.

I eventually hope to buy these pieces (as prints because I don't have a lot of money...):


The bottom one is another ippei piece and the one on top was made by a deviantart artist by the name of bagger043. But, for one reason or another, this person's print was being sold at compound. So yeah!

That's just one little slice of what I did this weekend while running around downtown!

Happy Days!

Have You Ever Heard of HEAD BREAD!? *insert horror movie music*

Some movie fanatics go a bit far...

SEE WHAT A MAN IN THAILAND DID DUE TO THE RELEASE OF Saw!





It's called well... not sure what it's called. But I call it HEAD BREAD.

Would you eat it? Would you not? Should this guy not be wasting his time sculpting edible body parts? What would you think if am man in your neighborhood made edible body part bread?

I don't know... and I think, personally, I'd be too scared to eat a realistic body part...

Naughty Naughty Nick Simmons

If you ever decide to plagiarize please try and pick a series that doesn't have one of the hugest fandoms ever. Maybe, just maybe, then you'll get away with it. Unless you encounter people like me...

Long story short Nick Simmons, I hope, is getting the beating of his life with a leather belt for plagiarizing Tite Kubo's manga BLEACH. He started a graphic novel called Incarnate but, as you can see from the pictures above, he copied/ traced/ whatever. Although the only series he's been called on officially for plagerizing is BLEACH I suspect there have been others. One of the characters looks pretty similar to Hellsing's Alucard and another Cowboy Bebop's Spike.

So yeah. Just don't plagiarize/ copy art. WE will know what you're doing. Because, even in the event that the series isn't well know, ONE OF US will FIND YOU.

Moral of the story:
Don't plagiarize

OR WE WILL FIND YOU
