D eath! The end of all our trails! Is it nigh? Perhaps...for some! After all, it's all around us! "When do you fully realize that people actually die ?" Hollywood seems obsessed with this question, from Stand By Me, River's Edge, Four Weddings and a goddamn Funeral, hell, any movie with a funeral, for that matter. I haven't been to many funerals in my life, but people in movies sure do seem to end up in the graveyard a whole lot.. Which is what brings us to this messed-up gem from the mid-90's, Cemetary Man. It's Italian, crazy and features necrofilia and multiple undead boy scouts getting shot in the head, so... yeah, there's that. And tits. Award winning stuff, right there.  Definitely NSFW in almost every way. Enjoy!   Everything dies, Billy...everything!! Sale at Harvey Nichols, guys!? Quick, everyone kill each other over a small piece of sushi and a pastel shirt!  Of all the S...

R ap & hip-hop. Another acquired taste! There is just something very therapeutic about listening to a pissed-off black dude scream about ripping out someone's spine and leaving 'em in a ditch. I dunno, live vicariously, I suppose.  Sha-zaaaam! WTF happened to Busta? Such a weird, unique guy. So much talent.. I hear he's a huge asshole now. Bummer. Black Elvis has left the building! Not sure why Kayne gets so much attention, Kid Cudi is way fuckin' better, hands down. Better flow, smoother, smarter, faster, clearer!  Words again escape me.. pretty bad for a blog. Yoda says "For work this is not safe!" Peace!!

Ah, just purchased this book "So Long Silverscreen" by French artiste Blutch. Amazing, amazing stuff. Here is a sample of some of his work:

International vandalism news times, gang! Aaand here come the Visigoths, Romans!! "A social media storm has erupted after a photo of “shameful” graffiti etched on a 3,500-year-old Egyptian relic by a Chinese boy was posted on the Internet. A blogger called ”Kongyouwuyi” posted the photo on Weibo, China’s equivalent of Twitter, after noticing the  message “Ding Jinhao was here” while visiting Egypt. “The sentence means Ding Jinhao has visited this place ,” Kongyouwuyi wrote. “This was the saddest and most shameful moment I had in Egypt. I apologized to our local tour guide, who comforted me instead, saying this was not our fault, and that it should be the local guide’s responsibility to stop such behaviour.” The photo of the graffiti was then shared over 90,000 times, leading angry internet users tracking down the vandal, exposing his name, age and where he attended school." Full story here Wow, so the blogger apologized on the behalf of his people and...

I love this song and Buster Keaton is awesome. So.. win!! 

W illkommen to my gallery. I do enjoy a bit of art, from time to time. Huzzah, I say! The internets are a capital place to find nice, large copies of paintings I have enjoyed both in person and from afar. Please I do hope you enjoy these as much as I have!
