A friend of mine asked me why I don’t really share some of what I find interesting on the interweb. i have a ton of bookmarks, but don't really share any of them. for awhile, I used school as an excuse and now that I’m done with that I’ve decided to start sharing some of what I find interesting. So let’s get started:

Jim woodring’s Frank:

frank is really cool. It would be too easy to say that words can’t describe this stuff. I picked up a copy of the frank book last year. also, there are a bunch of toys of the characters. Toys and sculpting are loads of fun. I have a pet project that I put off until now. I got a Munny last x-mas and want to make it into the scene from akira where dude’s arm goes all crazy. Ok…a bunch of people may not know what I’m talking about, so

I’ll post a few explanatory links coz that’s a pretty obscure scene to some:

so yeah…that would be cool…

lego scenes from the bible:

this is just silly. But x-tians can play w/ lego too…and I can laugh at them, no???

Manabu Yamanaka’s photography from japan:

like I said earlier, sometimes my fetishes take me to strange places. This time it started w/ a fascination w/ the asama sanso incident…do what? Yeah…me too:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asam...o_incident

so there’s a movie about it called kichiku. It’s super gory, but I’m still not sure if it’s up there with the ichi anime…

I’m not going to get into arguing which is better (live action v. anime). They’re both awesome for their own reasons. My point is that yamanaka’s photos are beautiful in the same vein as woodring’s ( jimwoodring.com/ ) frank. I’d say that the photos are more like r.kern (www.viceland.com/int/v13n7.../kern2.php ), but maybe not…

but those photos are more like aphex twin’s rubber Johnny viddy

I love aphex twin so much that I have a cd full of mp3’s…it’s like 7+ hours and I still can’t get enough high pitched squeaks and gurgles…

Anyway…I’m off to download the new daft punk album…alive 2007…

ps: the live in coachella set is super awesome. Headbanging choons for a long drive in the summer or whenever…
