burning pigs

Due to being a massive arse hole all my life, I never got round to reading many books. I just got this fabulous cutting edge piece of technology called an Ipod phone, and it forwards all my internets straight into my hand (it also lets me play golf in traffic, which is really cool). This, in a round about manner means i don't have to sit at my laptop all day and lets me have a good read. Currently I'm all over 'one flew over the cukoo's nest' and it's great, the mental imagery from some of the descriptions is rad and I kinda sort of wish I was deaf and dumb mopping the floor all day, thinking about fog and shit. Anyway, my favorite bit so far is what is depicted here;

blog it like its hawt

Due to the fact my last post was so weak, it depressed me far too much to visit my own blog in order to update it, hence the reason why its been so long. Anyways, since then I've done absolutely loads of stuff, completed fallout 3 again, got a mad blister on my pointing finger and even came out in some rad full body rash which is super gnar, so gnar you would not even realize. Life has been so hectic in fact, that i had to take a weekend out in order to go to Paris. All the touristy shit went down, i was underwhelmed at the Mona Lisa, shit scared on top of the scafolding tower, and sat in a park drinking the rouge stuff. Heavy chill.

To the point, While I was there I went to the Pompidou centre (shit hot), and my mind was blown with all sorts of historical radness. Personal highlights being Rachel Whitereads room 101

my new favorite picasso painting, femme assise dans un fauteuil

and Guillaume tell by Dali, which I believe to be the most technically impressive painting I have ever seen (the eggs in the bottom left absolutely kill it, shred the gnar)

finally, i was struck by a piece by Laszlo Peri called raumkonstruktion 3, which i can't find a picture of, trust me its dynomite. hopefully my sketch will suffice.

This sparked an interest in the nature of dimensions, which i think i've always been mildly interested in, honestly not in a spastic loser way, but dimensions are fairly cool (today i discovered whirlpools are really cool too, for a definitive list of what is and isn't cool, send me an email at alexjeffrothompson@gmail.com). This lead me to dick about with some brushes and some photoshops, this is what ensued.

Also, yeah I did scan a moleskine to put on my blog. Fuck I need a life, or some friends, or a girlfriend. Feel free to kick me in the shins.
