A while ago I had a discussion with my friends about interesting music tracks.Whilst sharing our knowledge we came across to this song by Papoose. He is so old school, I love it, bit the thing is exactly this song and its second part(which goes from Z back to A).

"Aiyo it's DJ KaySlay the Drama King

And for those of y'all that don't know

I'm workin with a new artist, he goes by the name of Papoose

And for those of y'all that didn't finish school

Check this out, it's all good

I'ma run y'all through this little, Thug-A-Cation right now

And what we gon do, is we gon scream out the letters in the alphabet

And every letter you hear screamed out, from A to Z

My man Papoose gon break it down for you

So what you do, is get your pens, your pads, and take notes

Yo Papoose, let's go!"

I actually find this amazing, lyrical genious! One of the sickest rap joint of all time!

Wow,just wow!

While I was researching on cities constructions and looking for some ideas after today's workshop with Karl at Museum of London I spotted Theo Jansen's crazy creations.

web: http://www.strandbeest.com/index.php

"Theo Jansen is a Dutch artist with a background in science. For the last 15 years, he has been evolving a series of wind-powered animals, made of plastic tubes. When these constructions are fed by wind, they set into motion and transmute into organic-looking creatures; or beach-animals as Jansen calls them.

Theo Jansen received the Jury's Special Price in the Interactive Art category at Ars Electronica Festival 2005."(from http://www.artificial.dk/articles/theojansen.htm )

I find his work really inspiring.He actually loves his "creatures" and puts so much effort in this.It also really great to watch artist(or should I say constructor here?) in progress,how he comes up with idea and from a scratch creates an amazing creature.These constructions remind me of kind of Postapocalyptic or Steampunk themes,with mechanic creations,battle between humans(who somehow managed to survive) and its creations.I would love to see this in real life,must be amusing.

I am a big fan of Margaret Mitchell's work "Gone with the Wind".While i was researching on it I found these amazing sketches.I am interested in costume myself and well happy with this finding!

Also,have found a nice book in Museum of London today,"Patterns of Fashion" by Janet Arnold.Book has pattern schemes for many dresses of 19-20 centuries,my favorite time in history!Might get it and start an exploration.

Getting ready for tomorrow's celebration and researching on Easter Style decorations,among interior advices found this.Spectacular!So much work on each egg,looks amazing!

"Volker Kraft of Saalfeld, Germany has an Easter egg tree with 10,000 colored eggs hanging from it! He and his wife Christa, with the help of their children, use real eggshells with the insides blown out, dyed and decorated and hung with care.

Kraft’s apple sapling sported just 18 eggs when he first decorated it for Easter in 1965. The number increased year by year; and by last year, the sturdy tree was festooned with 9,800 eggs, artfully decorated with everything from sequins to sea shells.
This time, Kraft has reached 10,000 — and he says he’s stopping there.
“There will be no increase because I do not have storage capacity anymore,” the 76-year-old retiree says. “I would have to sleep with the eggs otherwise.”

The tree has become a tourist attraction over the years" (c) Neatorama

This intsllation just blew my mind.After researching on Yulia Brodskaya I got interested in papergraphics and accidentally found a work of Daniele Papuli: Cartoframma.

173 modules in paper 
10,380 strips of selected white paper 

2011 

“Italy-based artist Daniele Papuli creates site-specific installations made of paper. The sculptural floor piece known as Cartoframma consists of over 10,000 strips of paper that curve and spiral out to create a magnificent rippling effect. Despite being made entirely out of paper, the piece gives the illusion of a fibrous texture or liquid consistency. At first glance, I thought I was looking at a large creased piece of silk, draped across a hall, or perhaps a current of crystallized water.

Papuli’s decision to work primarily with paper began in 1993 after trip to Berlin where he attended a workshop on the methods of manufacturing paper. Since then, the sculptor has gone on to utilize the delicate material, experimenting with its form and strength. Paper is, all at once, a difficult medium to work with, because of its fragility, and an inspiring one due to its flexibility and the ease with which one can manipulate it.

As riveting as the work is as a stand-alone, the artist adds another layer to it that includes dance. By combining a performance element with the sculptural piece, the experience is enhanced, making for an intriguing exhibition known as Frame Cartoframma.”

While I was researching different techniques for the Industry Set Project,I have found this amazing paper-cut artist

Peter Callesen

his works are not only done with an amazing skill,but are smart and bring on a narrative to our minds.Makes me want to try out this style of cut out.

I love works of Kareena Zarefos for the feelings she gives to her illustrations.It's my "special" magical feeling,I can't really explain,but I feel like what she does is really close to me.I also like the way she draws her pictures,mix of watercolour and pen,it's amazing how much u can say using such a small amount of equipment
