impromptu monday makings

after a long day and last minute decision to grab a drink with friends, the night brought me to niagara bar in the les. while listening to music and concocting creations with supplies brought by jonathan, consisting of blue and black acrylic paint, a multitude of craypas, black perement marker, pens, some cardboard, and a single paintbrush.. the following were crafted in an oh so malodic state.. the first multi-media painting was made while listing to orange oven.. the second one followed to the rythm of.. condom pocket..

as the night wound down at the bar.. we decided to take the party to 96 lafayette st.. to continue the madness.. and listen to might i say.. some bad techno.. but a great collaboration with colin produced a fine specism and the last one was done by jonathan and emily




overall.. great night of inspiration..

we feel fine

everyone needs to be aware of this website. it was launched in 2005. it is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale. we fee fine basically searches the web every few minutes for blog key words of "i feel," or "i am feeling," and keeps track of the gender, age, location, weather, etc of the area of where the blog was made, of by whom it was made. when running the program you can start by clicking anywhere on the screen and it will pull up a sentence from someones' blog. you can also run a more detailed search by clicking on the top view bar and choosing a specific word, gender, location, date, weather, etc. it can get pretty detailed.
i love this site as an inspiration, as well as a key to enlightenment.
check it out.. im sure it will not disappoint.
