Korean kid sings…

Posted by: Reavel on: November 27, 2009

So lately I have developed some likeness for the Asian side of the world. They have great food and hot guys. HA! yeah. I also did some research and made a post called Guys from East Asia. Lovely guys.
I was looking for a song and this guy from video of a kid from Korea came up… funny.. totally funny. But on the side bar there was this other kid from Korea so I was wondering if they were the same. It turns out that for my own good I was wrong.
This kid from Korea is named Kim Jonghyun he is lead singer of the group SHINee. Their videos came poping up in all mys searches. Don’t know why. But i looked up for the video then. Heard one but couldn’t believe it was him so kept looking and well yes it is him singing for real.
They sing R&B. Who knew? Very good voice and like the rest of them they have lots of fans all over. He even made a cover of Alejandro Sanz song Si fuera ella. Let me tell you that I admire him just because of that. That is a real challenge that not everybody can pull out… and in another language. Dude amazing! Teary eyes and all he took from me.
Well you have to watch it. I am now looking for more info on this guys. The song of this video is called Incomplete a song by Sisqo. This guys doesnt seem to be incomplete at all. You go kid.

I belong to you…

Song: I belong to you
Artist: Muse
Cd: The Resistance

When these pillars get pulled down,
It will be you who wears the crown,
And I’ll owe everything to you

How much pain has cracked your soul?
How much love could make you whole?
You’re my guiding lightning strike

I can’t find the words to say,
But they’re overdue,
I’ve travelled half the world to say,
I belong to you.

Then she attacks me like a Leo,
When my heart is split like Rio,
But, I assure you my debts are real

I can’t find the words to say,
When I’m confused,
I’ve travelled half the world to say,
You are my mu-

(Ah! Réponds à ma tendresse,
Verse-moi, verse-moi l’ivresse,
Réponds à ma tendresse,
Réponds à ma tendresse,
Ah! Verse-moi l’ivresse,
Verse-moi, verse-moi l’ivresse,
Réponds à ma tendresse,
Réponds à ma tendresse,
Ah! Verse-moi l’ivresse,
I belong,
I belong to you alone)

Use,
I can’t find the words to say,
But they’re overdue,
I’ve travelled half the world to say,
I belong to you

5th Anniversary of The Blog

Posted by: Reavel on: November 26, 2009

So yeah its been a long way since I started blogging. According to the records 5 years ago today I opened this blog or at least made the first post.

I never ever imagine I would talk about so much bullshit in one same place. Don’t get me wrong but you know what I mean. We start a blog and many don’t manage to keep it for even 6 months cause many of us think that people wont care. See that is your first problem you are not having fun while you are doing your blog.

When I started this adventure I did it because I had the urge [back then] to write some stuff and keep it all in one place. I now go back and wonder what the was I thinking when I wrote that. Was I so stupid? No I wasn’t [well maybe I was]. Anyways the important thing is that I can read what I was going through and now I can see what I have become [what that havent changed a lot LOL!].

After a few dilemas and many years this have evolved from a mear diary, journal to my art loving book. I have posted all my art adventrues. I went political a few times. Posted about history, music and many photographs some decent some not so decent [if you know what I mean] but hey all this made me grow as a human being. I had joy, suffering, meltdowns, rants, happy days, great experience but that is what blogging is all about.

I want to thank all my readers that have been here some silently others more expressive. Thanks. They come an go others stayed and went on this rollercoaster. I am looking forward to keep sharing my life experiences with you. So see you around and your comments are always welcome.

If you don’t have a blog you should get one. Only if you are willing to have fun while doing it. Is not all about the readers. Yes they are important but a blog is mostly you and what makes you happy and you love/hate. Only then you can share great things for so many years.

PS: I will make a giveaway on the week of 6 december to 12 december 2009. So stay around to see what all this giveaway is about. It shall be fun and I want one of you my dear readers to get this anniversary/xmas gift for all your support. Again Thanks!

Clip Exchange

Posted by: Reavel on: November 25, 2009

It’s been a while since I do a trade or exchange. So I got in touch with my friend Ruki from Macedonia and told her that we needed to fix that. We were going to do some sticker exchange but I made an upgrade from stickers to clipboards.
I love doing exchanges. The expectation and wondering what the other side will come up with is fascinating for me. So I am really looking forward to do this exchange with her after all this time without charing my art with others. Other exchange I am looking forward is the one with Johannes that we already had one but never knew what happen with the notebooks [silly. i still think I have them. awkward...]

Anyways here is the clipboards I’m trading. I shall send them to her and then she gets to keep one and send me the other one after she is done. :D Love doing this!

Book Project

Posted by: Reavel on: November 23, 2009

Book Project is my new project. I had this book for quite some time I have no idea were I got it. I think it was on Borders and they gave it to me when I bought some thing there… something like that.
I will make a drawing on every page until it is done. The project consist on using the same text for inspiration. Even when what you end up drawing isn’t related to the subject/theme of the book. I will scan the text on the page and pick a phrase/sentence and from there I will try to illustrate it. I hope this helps me out on my drawing. Looking forward to finish this and see the final result. I already have 4 drawings but I will post one each day.

Toolbar on The Blog

Posted by: Reavel on: November 23, 2009

Hello! this is just a post to inform or explain some of the changes on the blog. If you are reading us via email or on a reader you might not have seen any of the changes at all but if you do visit our blog directly you might have noticed that from yesterday on the blog will have a toolbar on the bottom of the page.
[please click on image for full clear view]

This toolbar is powered by wibiya.com. Why a toolbar? I think that the toolbar will be more effective in the way the blog looks. It wont have lots of things on the sidebar or on the bottom. Making the blog heavier to the eye and showing things that are not of everyone interest.
Below I just made an explination about the whole toolbar [from left to right] and what you can do with it while on the blog.

Pepe Villegas

Posted by: Reavel on: November 23, 2009

Painter, photographer and architect among other things. Pepe Villegas [Pepe being short for Roberto Jose]  was born and raised in Puerto Rico currently living in New York. If you visit his website you can see his vast experience and exhibitions.
I found about him on youtube. He designed the mural for the first Heineken Art Crawl and Murals Art series 2009. The mural is located on the 149th Street & 3rd Avenue in the Bronx, NY. Here is the video of that mural. I was thrilled to find out about his website and he even haves twitter @PepeArte. I wished many of the local artist opened up to all this technology it would be easier to share their info with the world.
His paintings and the mural quickly reminded me of Picasso and Dali. Lots of movements and abstractions. Rough figures and textures of some of his artworks. Telling little stories on every paiting. Rich in color and emotions. His photographs are also quite intriguing. Presenting people nature and places he have travel to.

Reynaldo Santiago

Posted by: Reavel on: November 22, 2009

While searching on youtube for arte puertorro encontre este video de un artista llamado Reynaldo Santiago. Lamentablemente no hay mucha informacion sobre el en la internet. Pero el sale en el video explicando su tecnica, inspiracion y vision.
Los canvas de los arboles playeros como el mencionan se ven fotograficos. Cuando los vi enseguida pense q eran fotos tomadas desde debajo de los arboles pero no. Son pinturas creadas por el pero se ven casi fotograficas. Encontre interesante su otra tecnica de fotografia y graffiti. Muy buena combinacion.
Ahi les dejo la info que encontre de el.


The Art House proudly presents Reynaldo Santiago, a Puerto Rican artist who interprets the beach and flora of Puerto Rico on canvas. Also shown are his digital multi-layering of street graffiti art with Puerto Rican images associated with daily life on the Island.
