Major Tripfest

You'll love this.
The artist? Alexa Meade.
She has a website: www.alexameade.com

This is so backwards in such a good way--instead of applying paint on a canvas, she applies paint onto her subjects, making them look like paintings. Check out the photos below! You'll be blown away.

fritART #2

In the spirit of the new release for Lady Gaga's latest video, Telephone (which you REALLY need to watch)...

 

 

 

By Andy Warhol.

"I think that's the best thing in life: keeping busy."

K-kinda busy, k-kinda busy, sorry I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy...

Fooled You Again

Just kidding!

It's that time of the week again: Music Monday! This Monday's song is Fooled Me Again by Lady Gaga. It's an old, unreleased ballad that got leaked. Beaaaaaautiful song. Fatty Feliux has been listening to it on repeat lately. ;)

And here it is...

Studio version:


Live version (which I think sounds better):


Hope you like the song, and have a great Monday, everyone!

Glue is Good: Gluekit

While browsing Billboard.com this morning, I noticed the image behind the article titled "Music's Top 40 Money Makers." (Interesting read, by the way--you should check it out).

I think it's great; very appealing to the eye. And of course, it's pop art style, which I am a total sucker for, so I obviously love it. Notice in the corner it says Illustration by Gluekit. "Who is Gluekit?" I asked myself, then proceeded to type it in everyone's good friend Google.

Oh, here we go: www.gluekit.com.

Turns out Gluekit is two people, Kathleen and Christopher, who make illustrations, graphics, and lettering. They have a long list of clients, including famous names such as Glamour, GQ, Maxim, New York Times, Nylon, Oprah, Rolling Stone, Urban Outfitters--and the list goes on.

Really digging their work, you guys. Here is a select few of their illustrations:

 

  

And that's only part of it.

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MORE ON THEIR WEBSITE HERE! Also, they have a blog. Follow it! I know I am.

Fall 2010 Favourites Part 2

Hello hello! We're back with Fall 2010 Favourites Part 2. I should have posted this days ago, but I was busy. Sorry for being a little late! One thing I dislike about technology--you need to be up-to-date with everything, but I like to just sit back and digest things. Anyway, enough babbling.

To your right, that is Jasmine Di Milo. Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy anything in her collection, but this dress is so cute! I love jigsaw puzzles, even though I don't do them anymore, but it was a childhood hobby. I always think it's nice when fashion--or any work of art--is reminiscent of the past.

Now, let's talk about Versace.

What's so great about these is the way they've mixed leather with fabric. It's being done quite a bit on the runways, actually. And I'm enjoying it! But what I loved most about the collection are these dresses:

Taylor Swift on the cover of OOPS! Magazine.
Yeah, Oops is right, shittiest and most creepy magazine cover I've ever seen. Seriously, photoshopping magazine covers has a limit you know. Swift's eyes are naturally blue, they didn't need to go and make her look like the devils right hand man--or woman in this case. She looks like an ice queen, or possessed, or just.. plain creepy.

What do you think of the cover?

The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

1984, Keith Haring

Ink on Paper

There's a lot of artwork I enjoy and appreciate, so I thought I needed a good excuse to feature them every week. I chose Friday, and Fatty Feliux cleverly came up with the name "fritART" ;) So, I hope you enjoy Fridays at Mustart!

P.S. I love Keith Haring <3

Maybe you shouldn't be a FREAK.

On Monday, the song Freak by Estelle was featured for Music Monday.
Yesterday, the music video was released. Since I liked the song, I thought the video would be good, too. Wrong. If you have not watched the music video above already, do so now.

In Monday's post, Fatty Feliux stated that "Estelle's back." Well, go crawl back into your hole, because you just produced the crappiest music video ever. To me, this looks like she is just trying to jump on the "Freak" bandwagon, trying to fit in with Lady Gaga and Rihanna. I think many people are missing the point--it's not about being a freak because it's cool, it's about being yourself.

This video is really just too random. And when you combine a video this random with a song called "Freak" in an era where the freaks are rising to the top, you know someone is trying hard. It's empty, and sometimes empty videos are good--especially when paired with some great choreography--and sometimes they end up being stupid, like this.

Thoughts? How did you feel about the video?

FREAK X

Estelles back! So is Kardinal Offishal (Canadian Musician, win!). With this oh-so-fabulous song, that has now gotten to me. Nedda Ebo sings it(along with old Madonna music) all the time, and its hard not to fall in love with the catchy beat...At first, I was a bit "Meh, its an alright song". But once Nedda sends you a song, she will consistently, and randomly sing it, and sing it, and sing it (get the point>). Eventually, your brain gives in. In fact, Nedda's probably doing a victory smile behind the computer screen as she reads this.

I can be a freak.
Yeah I can be a freak.
Can you be a "Freak?"
I know Nedda Ebo is.
