Here is a new piece I've just recently finished. So loosely it was partly inspired by the whole italo disco movement/electro nu rave aesthetic/ really cheesey psychedelic 70s album cover art. No real concept..just eye candy.

Right Vs. Left
The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.
kinda crazy but after some hard squinting I managed to get it to turn the opposite way.
LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

Tea Party
Some random person sent this weird creepy video to my email today. The email instructed me to watch it because it was about my life. It definitely got my attention...

I am not a DJ
Top ten songs Oct 10
Yes I know generally top 10s are relegated to something DJs do but I’m tired of nerding out on music alone so I’m just going to shout it out to the universe and let it drift where it may. Warning: these playlists are dance heavy but it’s what I’ve been obsessed with these days. If I were going to describe the stuff I’ve been getting into, I would definitely say it’s electronic based, heavy on the nu rave with some inclination towards minimal techno with trancey elements. I’m also digging the disco-y stuff and electro house stuff. ‘Cept that I’m wondering if maybe Italo Disco has reached it’s peak and is on it’s way out. I’m sure we can say that about nu rave as well although I’ll have to admit I'm not quite ready to end my love affair just yet. A little bit longer until after the holidays and then i'll end it. It'll be easier for the both of us.
Check out this trash fashion video. I hope they are kidding. Two words: NATHAN BARLEY

Oink Oink
Poor Oink.
I was going to post this up yesterday but was so busy i couldn't break away from the stuff I had to get done. Anyways, I had JUST gotten an invite to the account only recently and never got around to figuring out how to use it (got a laptop). Heard that shit was bomb and now it's gone. *sniff* Oh well, at least I knew about it's 15 mins thanks to my geek friends.
RIP Oink
