Rick Springfield!


I felt my blog was missing a little something. Then it hit me..... We all need more Springfield in our lives. I've been aware of this for a long time, but some of you out there may have not clued in yet. This man is an icon. One of Americas greatest actors (General Hospital) but also a man when he puts pen to paper creates lyrical masterpieces. Jesse's Girl is arguably the greatest song of all time. The Springfield rocks out on this tune with not 1, not 2, but YES 3 guitar solos. The man can melt faces. So please take a look, as Present my 'Ode to Rick Springfield'


The man...









The groundbreaking album....



The song........... Please enjoy the Video..... Watch and learn you amatuers.....

An Artiste is Born!!!!!

Well hello one and all. This week has been so very exciting at University. We had to choose an Option Class to take at University. I chose Art. I did this because I am crap at art. What will i teach the children?? So I figured that this option would be for me. I appear to have taken the 'easy' option, as others have to write essays, debate global warming, and speak German. I however get to use crayons, paint and glue sticks. Whay a joy! So after the first week of art, I thought I should share some of my creations.
This is a feather. Enough said. Man am I good.
This is a chalk and pastel drawing of a fox. This is where my art started to go very wrong. As you can see my fox appears to be cross eyed. This was no fun.
This is my pride and joy. I feel that it is my best piece of work to date. Its a fish. I made him. I will call him Jimmy the Fish. You had to make a print with styrofoam and them slap the copies on paper. I m might mass produce this. It would sell.


I got in trouble from the art teacher on this one. Its a castle. Apparently we were 'supposed' to make realistic looking castles. Now if you look at mine what do you see? YES, its quite obvious that my castle is a bunch of faces. The teacher didnt see this. She told me to "Look at the blue piece and tell me what you see?" and I replied, "Its a face!" she then said, "NOw did you mean to make it look like a face?" and I then acted very surprised and shocked that it was actually a face. She didnt find this very amusing. "This isnt perspective art!" "I'll let you get away with it this time!" Thanks lady. Whatever happened to being creative? She was crushing my aritsitc direction. No creativity allowed I guess.....


If you can guess what this is you should receive a prize. We were given pictures of actual monkeys, arangutans, apes etc... Our goal was to copy one of them using shape. This is what happened. I am in a class with 30 artists, all of which made exceptional monkeys. And I come up with something that looks like whatever the hell this is......






And last but not least. I call this Cheese Burger Face. I modelled it after Jessica. She was my inspiration. This is the face seh makes when she wants a cheeseburger. Its probably the most life like and realistic art i've done. Also, I was a rebel on this one. We were supposed to make the shirt a tartan print. I was ma about the castle fiasco, so I did polka dots. I really showed her didnt I?
Bye for now! Hopefully next week I will have some more masterpieces for you! GO LEAFS!
Signed,
Daniel 'Picaso' Torok
