FAMOUS ART QUOTES, MUSIC QUOTES, PAINTING QUOTES, FILM MAKING QUOTES, PHOTOGRAPHY QUOTES:

Music is love in search of a word.
~ Sidney Lanier

But that's what being an artist is - feeling crummy before everyone else feels crummy.
~ The New Yorker

Collaboration is like the sex of creativity.
~ Francis Ford Coppola

It is incontestable that music induces in us a sense of the infinite and the contemplation of the invisible.
~ Victor de LaPrade

Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.
~ Fran Lebowitz

Its language is a language which the soul alone understands, but which the soul can never translate.

~ Jules Feiffer

A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety.

White Ink Tattoo

"White Ink Tattoo" Tattoo, originally uploaded by Rebecca-VT.

Chinese character symbol tattooed in white ink .The meaning of the symbol is "To travel" or "Journey".; This is my 3rd tattoo, and my first white ink tattoo. It is only about 24 hours old in this photo, so it's still raised and crusty looking. So far, it seems to be healing nicely, and is a nice bright white. I hope it stays that way! This was the first white tattoo the artist has done (which should have made me run away), but he's been doing it professionally for over 20 years. It's small enough to cover up if it ends up a disaster!

Weird Tattoo

"Weird Tattoo" Tattoo, originally uploaded by Colleen AF Venable.

Weird leg tattoo of connect the dots.; Collage created for publisher who is including me in a coffee table book about weird tattoos called INKED: Clever, Odd and Outragous Tattoos. Woo! They might use this one or one of the awesome ones Chris took.

Ever since I was little I joked about getting my birthmarks numbered--that I was one big connect-the-dots tattoo that made a "me". When I got older I obsessed over the idea of an extremely visible invisible tattoo. I then worked for four years on a project I called "The Stalking and Murdering of a Childhood Giraffe" (EXPLAINED HERE) were I spent four years searching for a giraffe I had as a child and taking pictures of any I came across that were "rejects". 1,712 rejected giraffe photographs later, after I finally found the giraffe (with the help of over 50 friends or "giraffe hunters") I got this tattoo.

Dave C. Wallin who made it did an AMAZING job considering how small the numbers had to be. Pretty sure I'm not the first person in the universe to come up with this idea, but I've yet to see another connect-the-dots tattoo. Got my tattoo on August 25, 2007. The design was based on a really geometric giraffe drawing I once saw (if anyone can find the name of the original artist I would be super appreciative!), but I modified it to have spots and be even more box-like. I love this tattoo so much...which makes it hard to walk down the street without starring at my own calf.

Treasure Chest Side Tattoo

Treasure Chest Side Tattoo,tattoos,tattoo designs
"Treasure Chest Side Tattoo" Tattoo, originally uploaded by Adrienne V..

Colorful girls side tattoo of a treasure chest,roses and word quote "Some Pursue Happiness, Others Create It" a great tattoo design that represents personal aspects of life; Done by Bryan Burk at Spotlight Tattoo, Hollywood, CA. Third session about 4hr on April 6, 2008. (Total around 9 hours.)

Mostly healed. Finally finished. SO happy with it!

I'll put down the explanation again:

I was fed up with so many people complaining about how crappy different aspects of their lives were, whether it be their job, girlfriend, friendships... but not doing anything about it! The treasure chest is to represent your future, and it's up to you what's in it, if it's going to be filled with jewels and greatness or just salt water and sea weed. You create your own happiness!! It's also quite easy to create happiness for people around you if you just apply yourself.

Always and Forever Tattoo

Always and Forever Tattoo,tattoos,tattoo designs
"Always and Forever Tattoo" Tattoo, originally uploaded by Jemal.

Heart and roses banner tattoo, always and forever; No, it's not a good use of my money at this point, but I don't much care. It makes me feel good and emphasizes to the world (and Sierra in particular) how important Kellie was and always will be in my life.

Ronnie at Art With a Pulse Tattoo modified the Heart-Kellie-Rose that he did for our 8th anniversary last February by adding the Always and Forever above and below, the leaves around the heart, the teal background, and a few highlights and modifications to what was already there.

The "Always & Forever" was our little thing that went at the bottom of every card we sent each other and usually followed any "game of who loves more than whom."

There are still a bunch of blood spots in this photo and because it kinda wraps around my puny forearm, it's hard to get every last bit in a picture, but I like it. It has the classic style I like, and it moves me one step closer to a sleeve.

Next up, each kid's name on each wrist. Maybe part of a band or something - I'll figure it out.

FAMOUS ART QUOTES, MUSIC QUOTES, PAINTING QUOTES, FILM MAKING QUOTES, PHOTOGRAPHY QUOTES:

Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure.
~ Tony Benn


A portrait has one advantage over its original: it is unconscious; and you may therefore admire without insulting it. I have seen portraits which have more.
~ Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers, 1827

Music is the art which is most nigh to tears and memory.
~ Oscar Wilde

The fine arts once divorcing themselves from truth are quite certain to fall mad, if they do not die.

SCARED FRIENDS!

Hi Friends!
Me and Alex Pardee have been wanting to create a collaboration piece of art/wearable magic for all of you for some time. Instead of me, Greg, making half of a heart with my fingers and thumb, and then Alex making the other half of a heart with his fingers and thumb, and then us merging those same fingers and thumbs spoken of previously together into one beautiful heart.... we did this: Our VERY FIRST TRUE COLLABORATION t-shirt & print release!

Please file this in the "it-was-bound-to-happen-eventually-but-its-still-blowing-my-mind-at-how-cool-it-was-to-work-on" folder, as today Zerofriends released both a t-shirt and a HUGE poster featuring collaborative art between Alex Pardee and GREG "CRAOLA" SIMKINS!!!! (okay yes, I am stealing some of Alex's words here, but no one says it better)

direct link to graphic:
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f297/lasagnacassidy/ScaredFullart.jpg

A Message From Alex:

"Greg and I have collaborated in the past and we really wanted to do something cool for our first Zerofriends collab, so we decided to stop planning and just jump right in and MASH UP both of our companies ("Zerofriends", and "I'm Scared") into a deformed frankenstein-ish pile of superheroes.
What started as an innocent play on the old "Superfriends" shirts that both Greg and I had when we were in fourth grade, morphed into something a little more monstrous after a few back and forth sketch-sessions.
The end result is now available for you to dress yourself up in thanks to the age-old craft of printing!!

Starting today, The "SCARED FRIENDS" design is an insane 11-COLOR screenprint available on 3 different colors of shirts (white, slate, and light blue). And we actually used the exact color palette of the old superfriends art when we were designing this graphic.

And, because both Greg & My bedroom walls were plastered with super hero posters and giant dinosaur-eating galaxy posters, we thought "Why not produce old school-style wall posters?!" So we did just that. The "Scared Friends" image is also available as a HUGE 24" x 36" glossy poster for you (or your kids') walls!!

In the midst of everything else that is going on, this is something that i have been DYING to tell you guys about because Greg Simkins is one of my favorite artists of all time so it was a really fun collab. So be sure to check it out and grab one before they run out (as Greg's art and products seems to be more in demand than Kanye West's Nikes as of late).

Here's the info about the shirts, which are available EXCLUSIVELY online at Zerofriends ONLY!!!
Click here to go directly to ZEROFRIENDS or click any of the pictures below to purchase!





YES! WE FINALLY GOT A PILE OF NEW SHIRTS!





It's available in 3 colors. I guarantee you had the baby blue one in 4th grade. I know I did.





Detail of the art. Greg handled most of the left half and I did the right, but we scribbled back and forth over each other a lot and managed not to get mad at each other. It was fun.

What are you waiting for?? With this image gracing your wall or your chest, you will be granted scary & super powers beyond belief.

Thanks a ton.
Oh, and yes, there are more collabs to come. Shhhhh:)

PS> Here are a couple of quotes from myself and Greg about the graphic:
Greg Simkins:"What's the difference between a Hero and a SUPERhero? Tights.
What's the difference between a friend and a SCARED friend? The same...tights. So all of you average heroes and boring friends go out and get some tights!"
Alex Pardee: Speaking of tights, I don't think i was overweight as a child, but nonetheless, my Grandma called me "Fats" since day one. So I used it to my advantage. My footsie pajamas didn't quite hold my weight, which made them resemble a tight red leotard. And already crested with a Shazam logo, my identity switched to Fats Lightning on a nightly basis, where I repeatedly solved infamous crime capers close to home, with my biggest victory being The Great Snail-Crusher Caper of 1981. All of the evidence pointed at myself, but I somehow avoided conviction."

Thanks Alex for doing this project with me and for stomping out that tribe of snails outside my studio. I am surprised and impressed that those footy pajamas still fit you... and fit you well.

If you haven't seen Alex's recent show at Upper Playground in Portland, go HERE!
you'll see why so many of us consider him a genius.
