Films I Want to See: Ballast



Side note: I love this sort of trailer--you arent told anything about the story...big budget cinema should take a cue...Also the cinematography looks AMAZING.

Sunday Artist Spotlight: Chuck Close

(4 SELF PORTRAITS THROUGH THE YEARS)





Chuck Close is one of my favorite artists of all time. His realism is mind numbing and his pointilism is super awesome...He painted these self portraits over the last 20 years, I love the difference in style used over time.

Oh yeah did I mention that these paintings are MASSIVE? Most of his work covers walls, some of them needed scaffolding to reach the top while painting them...

And...another thing--he is quadrapalegic...since the late 80s he has painted everything with a paintbrush held by his teeth--Dude is unbelieveable. I wrote an essay about him when I was in 10th grade...I had no clue who he was at the time but my art instructor told me to check him out...Thanks Mr. Mays!


For more info on this incredible human check his website:

C L I C K H E R E

(it didnt seem like he had alot of art to look at on the site, I'd suggest google image search if you wanna see some more of his work--peep that Kate Moss portrait...Am I Right Guys?! ha see ya next time)

Sunday Artist Spotlight: Charles Burns









I first learned of Charles Burns when I was in high school. His classic cult comic Black Hole, which made little to no sense plot wise, found its way to me...and I immediately fell in love with his style. The rich contrasts he creates are as jolting as the images themselves--often times depicting classic monster movie scenarios. Now residing in Philidelphia, Burns has created some of the most interesting (and disturbing) comic books ive ever seen in my life. Want more?

Justified Materialism with Saev: FLASHBACK

My Momma and I were just talking about classic kicks from the 90s (yeah, seriously)...and she reminded me about my 5th grade year, I really wanted a new pair of shoes but I was doing really badly in school. They didnt have much money back then, but she made a deal that if I brought my grades (and attitude) up I could pick out a pair of shoes...now I dont know if it was the commercials (remember KJ dressed up like an old lady dunking in a living room?!) or the colorway or what...but i HAD to have these shoes.

1994 Kevin Johnson Black/Purple Con's REACT Pandemonium:


And when I finally got them--man was I proud. That was the last pair of shoes my parents ever bought me, that summer I got a job mowing lawns and went with the Shaq instapumps that fall for 6th grade. Hah, looking back I was pretty intense with my shoe purchases...thank god I found skateboarding in 7th grade.

Sunday Artist Spotlight : Josh Keyes








Josh Keyes is a fine artist out of the East Bay area who unexpectedly, and quite dramatically, combines graffiti, nature, urban decay, and geometry into breathtaking paintings and installations. He has been around for quite some time and has been featured at some of the most prestigious galleries stateside, as well as love from some of the most respected publications for contemporary art. Check out his collected works here (joshkeyes.net).

-saev

ps
I will be featuring a different artist every sunday afternoon, so check back each week to peep some great art. Have a good week!

Dipsomaniac (2006)

In the winter of '06 I recorded a series of instrumentals while Chuy was back in New Mexico for the holidays. I had strep throat, my sister was almost killed in a car wreck, I barely left the house, and I was drinking very heavily. I remained sober for 7 days to record this previously unreleased (and pretty much forgotten) album. I wanted to release this after all this time because of a suprise that I can not tell you about yet...just know something is coming soon, and this had to be released first.

saevio.is.dead. - Dipsomaniac: the sober EP




Track Listing:
01 - Like Wind Against A Tin Roof
02 - His Descent Into The Greater Unknown
03 - The Greatest Song I Ever Wrote
04 - Adventures Of Captain Awesome and Strawberry Shortcake
05 - Dead Weight
06 - Hollywood Theus
07 - Fin

hope you enjoy it.
