She's Mine- U-KISS

So I feel the need to share this not just because they're U-KISS and extremely amazing, but also that this is something that is new to them, not commonly seen anywhere, a style that I particularly hate, and they did it SO AMAZINGLY!!! Honestly, I fell in love with it immediately. I usually only like videos like these when they're old, the style of that era, and they were some breakthrough artist that I respect. Kind of like my love for the Bee Gees. But this is so amazing, it worked so well for them, and I don't doubt that it was probably one of the more fun videos to shoot, like when an actor gets a chance to do a ridiculous drunk/ high scene where they get to overact and do all of these fun things that you don't see anywhere else in acting. I think AJ had the most fun. XD I wish I had a car so I could go to their concert and see them do it live. D:< This is my fav song of last year.

Change of Venue

So I'm working on a custom website from scratch for all of this. It'll have my artwork (which I still have yet to show you) as well as the blog and videos and tons of other stuff. I hate having to depend on servers and stuff to make custom websites and stuff. i don't like having blogger's name in all of my stuff including the URL and the page and stuff so I'm going to do a website on my own and stuff. So just stay posted- that'll be coming soon.

Harry Potter Sherlock Crossover

So I found a ton of Sherlock Harry Potter crossovers....

I love that John's a Gryffindor and Sherly's a Slytherin. 

But I think this works better, with Sherly being a Ravenclaw and John a Hufflepuff.

They have the Marauder's Map!!!!

Why is John playing Quidditch????? At least he got the snitch.

I still want to know why people make Sherlock a Slytherin. I mean, sure, they're cunning, but he's more of a Ravenclaw.

This one speaks for itself.

Seriously. Slytherin? Again?

Here we go. I think this is an accurate description.

Aw look they're so cute!!!!

Definitely an accurate description.

This is amazing.

And this is amazing.

They're all amazing!!!!!!! 

This is my new favorite crossover.

THE QUEEN IS MARILYN MONROE

So I was looking through My Modern Met when I can across this article:Photo Manipulation At It's Finest and these were some pictures I found on there.

I thought these were funny. The rest of them are just cool.

Arse Holes

So... today, this guy dropped by my flat. He was here for one of my flat mates who was doing basically an informal job interview and when they were done, the guy still had some time and I wanted to show the guy some stuff that I had done (it was an art interview.) I wanted some feed back and some tips on what I should work on. I didn't have my portfolio with me so I was just showing him some stuff out of my sketch notebook. The first thing that I noticed was off was that he just grabbed my sketchbook and started flipping through. This is a bit of a no-no in the art world because an artist's sketchbook is like their soul. It's a huge compliment if an artist lets you look in their sketchbook because it's basically their diary but with pictures. Every feeling and event that has shaped that person since they were old enough to pick up a drawing object is in that book (or another one, if they've gone through several.) Now this guy had been an art teacher for 45 years so I was kind of surprised when he just grabbed it and started flipping through with out me telling him if he could or not. He was either completely clueless and hadn't picked up anything over 45 years or he didn't care.

The next thing that irked me was that he told me I had to stop drawing anime. After this huge speech to my friend about how "people in art do the jobs because it makes them happy, not for money" he told me I had to stop drawing anime (completely) because it was childish and I would never get a job i it. He told me it wasn't doing anything for me. Now, I' mainly a cartoonist/ animator and a lot of what I do is anime. It doesn't only help me out there, but it helps me with head placements and stuff for realistic drawings. Basically, anime is what helps me figure out what I'm going to do for an actual drawing. Not to mention, I enjoy doing it! This was what really set me off.

He only complimented me once on a before sketch of a bust I'm doing. He really liked that. He said it was good because it showed I could think all the way around something, not just the face of it.

That was the only thing I got out of him.

Arse.

MOOzik and WATERMELON!!!!!!!!!!

So my band is doing a winter concert and I'm part of percussion. I though that I would be out of town for the concert (or really I said that just to get out of actually doing anything) and now, they've "found out" I will be in town and have assigned me parts. Let's see, I have three (technically four) pieces.

1. Patapan (I play bells for this one)

these bells not

these bells.

2. Serengetti Dreams (or spaghetti dreams)
I play really any mallet instrument for this one. We haven't decided yet but I'm pretty sure I'm going on vibes for this one.

3. Deck the Halls
I play Marimba (my favorite) for this one.

So this isn't really a big deal except for the concert is on Saturday and they have yet to give me the music for it!!!!! I don' sound terrible (we did some run throughs yesterday) but I don't particularly sound fine either... IDK we'll have to see....

Also, for the fourth song, there isn't any percussion that plays in it so the band director is making us sing. TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS SONGS!!! So... this kind of goes against my religion....

The one upside is that, if we don't know the words, the director said we could fake it and sing "watermelon" instead. The entire time we were rehearsing, I didn't hear one verse sung correctly. It was more like

"Hark the Herald angel sings WATERMELON, WATERMELON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Watermelon, watermelon watermelon watermelon!!!!!!"

What was even funnier was the fact that the percussion instructor was singing with us and he was belting our "WATERMELON!!!" louder than the rest of percussion combined. I couldn't sing half the time because I was laughing at him.

It was kind of fun though.

My Ya He

This is one of the best videos in the world!!! I absolutely love the art and how you can kind of tell what the video is about despite the fact that it's in another language. BTW, would anyone care to tell me what language it is???

Shinee // Sherlock

So I've had this song stuck in my head for FOREVER (like... a month...) but it's such a good song! I absolutely love Shinee.

I love the jazziness of it. Also, if you really like the video, do not watch Eat Your Kimchi's review of it. You'll never be able to watch it the same way ever again! But if you do end up watching it, Soy un Dorito.

VIXX

So here's a new and upcoming k-pop band: VIXX!!!! Their name stands for Voice, Visual, Value in Excelsis (don't ask me how.) Anyways, their band is made up of six members:

Blood Type: A

Leo: main vocalist

Age: 24 (korean) 23 (normal)

Blood Type: O

Ken: main vocalist

Age: 22 (korean) 21 (normal)

Blood Type: AB

He's often referred to as the hottest member in the band but I personally think Ravi's the hottest.

Blood Type: O

This is Ravi, my personal favorite.

Hongbin: rapper/ vocalist

Age: 21 (korean) 20 (normal)

Blood Type: B

Hyuk: Rapper/ maknae

So that's Vixx. Please give them the attention they deserve! They have amazing music, they dance really well, they sing really well, they look great, and they're working hard o promote themselves! They're definitely and up-and-coming k-pop band!

Here's their most popular song right now, Voodoo:

Warning, it's a little graphic and was banned in Korea (though that isn't saying much.)

Am I the only one that would really like to have VIXX under my control?

I IZ ARTIST

So, I'm sure that rarely anybody knew this but I have a job as an animator. Most of my time right now is spent in school but I also spend some time sketching and drawing and things. It's not a very high-paying , high-hours, serious job, but it's a job. At my job, I do more of a collective arts thing. I do video, animation, editing, photography, acting, dance, music (piano, percussion, french horn, etc.), and really anything. The things I do at my job are a lot like what I do at school. Anyways, my point is that I'm an artist and I was going to post some things on this blog that I've done but I haven't one that yet. I have full intention of doing that and making this more of an artsy blog as well. Right now, I don't have any of my work up on the computer but this is another one of the things that I promise to post sometime.
