like roy g biv on crack

It's not terribly often that one finds an architect slash furniture designer slash artist slash fashion designer, but Fernando Brizio is one big ass exception. I was perusing (favourite word) the Icon Magazine archives when I came across an artical on Brizio, a portugeese designer whose forte of sorts is this bleeding markers technique. He has peices where the ink bleeds onto the rim of a bowl, dots the exterior of a vase, and my personal favourite, colors the front of a dress. In this one the felt tip markers are inserted into pockets sewn into the dress.. I think that when I rip off this wonderful piece of art I might do it in two pieces.. a slip and a dress, then I'd make the pockets on the inside of the dress, that way they aren't visable. I don't think I'd want them to show. Call me crazy. Wait, no, don't. I'm also thinking sharpies..

Il n'est pas tres souvent qu'on trouve un architect/dessine des meubles/artiste/dessine des vetments, mais Fernando Brizio est un grande exception. Je serchais l'archives du magazine "Icon" quand J'ai trouve un article sur Brizio, un dessine portugeese qui est trop genial avec un couple des stylos, on peut dire qu'il est sa forte. Ma favourite est la robe^^ ou il a inserte des stylos dans la robe et a laisse ils sainge. Je pense que je les inserterais dans l'interior de le robe et pas l'exterior. Je pense que je preferais si les... pouchets? (pockets)... n'est pas visible. M'applez un fool. Attendez, non, ne faites pas. Je pense les sharpies aussi..

gotta love a lysosome

Don't you just love biology? Like cells and shit? The Golgi apparatus, rough endoplasmic reticulumes? Just wonderful. For AP we had to decide on a subject for our concentrations. I was torn for a while between doing this thing with folk embroidery of just the dots of light that define a city when you're flying overhead at night or something about cells. I decided on cells. I think the peices are going to be squares, all twelve of them, and all really abstract. I like the idea of having an incredible vagueness combined with technical defenition. Anyways. I'm lazy and tired so I'm not translating or anything... I haven't posted in a while because my computer crapped out on me. I'm gonna start again but it's kinda tough only having my mother's work computer. Gosh darn it.
