I just realized its been exactly a month since I updated this damn site, so does this rant count as a update? Probably not ehh whatever. Im thinking about changing the theme to my site to something else. Kinda why I havent posted anything on this dang site. Anyways, but yea woooooo, but I am changing the banner for sure though, but been to lazy to upload it. Its simple, and similiar to whatI have now so well see..
But here is a random pics of whatevers haha
Art comes in many shapes and forms; from oil paintings to bronze sculptures. Art can inspire us, amaze us and even amuse us. One form of art that hasn’t received the attention it deserves is paper sculptures. Paper can be used to make simple but beautiful pieces, to complicated and delicate sculptures. Below are some of my favourite paper sculptures.
No castle would be complete without towering turrets and beautifully landscaped gardens. This miniature paper sculpture certainly gives the viewer an impression of such a magnificent building. The skill and patience involved in creating such a piece is very apparent as the artist has even included the finer details like the flag pole and the jagged edges of the gardens.
This cleverly built tower housing block looks distinctly medieval. Crooked and haphazard in appearance, your imagination runs wild with thoughts of the types of inhabitants who would live there. This highly skilled artist certainly deserves acclaim for this achievement. No detail has been omitted, from the tiny ladder to the impeccably detailed balustrades – a truly beautiful paper sculpture.
3. Looking Back
Once again Peter Callesen, the artist of the two previous works of art, has proven just how talented he is. Looking back is eerie in subject and leaves the viewer with the question, ‘How would you see your life after you’ve moved on?’ Simple yet very powerful, this piece is questioning, probing but not overly aggressive in delivering the message.
4. Paper Pleat
Paper sculptures by Richard Sweeney are the polar opposites of Peter Callesen’s. Sweeney is more focussed on exploring form and patterns, as demonstrated by Paper Pleat. The brilliant use of light gives the illusion of depth as well as illuminating the individual folds. Although abstract, this piece reminds me of a cavern – what does it represent to you?
5. Icosahedron
Sweeney has proven yet again what a master he is in paper sculptures. This truly amazing piece is perfect in symmetry and organic in appearance. Made from 20 individual modules, the overall affect is outstanding. It is apparent that a lot of thought went into the initial design before beginning work on the actual sculpture, well done Richard!
6. Fractal III
Like his other pieces, Sweeney has managed to make a complicated design look easy to achieve – but you can be sure it isn’t. This minimalist sculpture wouldn’t look out of place in a designer home. The flow is smooth and shape, geometrically superb. This timeless piece is another amazing feat by a truly talented artist.
7. Over and Out
Artist Jen Stark works with bright colours to produce fantastic abstract paper sculptures. Here she has created a truly magnificent piece using an explosion of colour to make the object leap out at the viewer. Designs like this would be ideal for newcomers to the artform to try, as similar effects can be created on a smaller scale with simple A4 paper and printer ink. The perfect alignment of the individual paper pages and the clever use of colour makes it difficult to tear your eyes away from the piece.
This well designed piece gives the illusion of an endless funnel. The repetitive rings surrounding the funnel and the kaleidoscope of colour paper increases the sense of depth and proportion. Although the form appears simple, it indeed illustrates Jen Stark’s patience and dedication in producing truly beautiful paper sculptures.
9. Axiom
Axiom is another example of a truly spectacular paper sculpture by Jen Stark – the design magnificent and the piece perfectly sculptured. The flow is uninterrupted and each individual page moulded to design. Again the use of colour paper is clever and makes the sculpture stand out but does not overpower the actual design. This piece wouldn’t look amiss in a modern art gallery.
10. Chair Stack
Matt Shlian is another talented paper sculptor. Preferring to steer clear of coloured paper, his work provides great examples of geometrically superb and cleverly crafted artworks. His chair stack is minimalist in design and tricky to complete. It is balanced perfectly and although simple in appearance, it is obvious that it took some time to complete.
11. Abstract
This is another fine example of Matt Shlian’s abstract paper sculptures. Patience and an eye for detail definitely contributed to this truly beautiful sculpture. Cross hatched and three dimensional, this was not an easy design to bring to life. It certainly does show off Shlian’s amazing artistic talent.
12. Dancing Brolgas
Ray Besserdin isn’t just a hobbyist – he has turned paper sculpting into a fine career. This giant sculpture of brolgas, a crocodile and a frilled lizard, stand over 3 metres high and was commissioned by Australia’s Northern Territory government to be used in the 2001 Centenary of Federation parade. His attention to detail and well balanced proportions make this an astounding achievement in paper sculpturing. Besserdin is definitely one of the best paper sculptors out there.
Now I’m kinda known to having weird but awesome shirts, like Johnny Cupcakes and my personal fave, Kid Robot. And I see so many strange shirts on the web but then my friend sent me a link that changed my life, well not really changed my life but was another awesome shirt. The site is called SeiBei, and I have no idea what it means but I loved the shirt. So I decided to Twitter the link to the shirt. (Oh yea ADD ME =)
And guess what the owner of SeiBei actually twittered me back, “thanks for spreading the poopy love, buddy! (I make that pooping shirt)”. So I took the liberty to ask if I could get a comped shirt or some sort of discount if I would spread the love some more, of course either way if i did or didn’t I would have still ordered a shirt. But her decided to give me my own coupon code: KrazyKorean, which will work forever. Its a 10% discount on everything and anyone can use it, since Im telling you guys to =D.
Now off to the shirt (david let me know if you want me to remove the images)
Pooping Shirt or if your to lazy hes a pic haha.
I will let you guys know how it fits when I receive it.
I was a huge fan of the first movie and I was kind of skeptical when I heard they would be making another one, but after seeing a trailer finally I decided this is goign to be awesome also =).
Unless someone at digg is messing with US, or there is some bugs they need fixing.

I originally saw this onLa Times, and I think this is a awesome idea. For people that have never ate korean food and especially the meats we have, its sooooo good. Not saying that because im korean but it is. And put it in a taco and this must taste so effing good >_<. Now i have to find this place like these people did =)
But check the interview video from La Times (source)
Now if you guys didn’t notice I am korean, like 100% ^_^. I watch alot of korean dramas, tv shows and series online. There are so many beautiful korean girls I see all the time in everything but for some reason Yoon Eun Hye takes the cake for cuteness. Alot of my friends, guys and girls, agree with me there is something about her thats very cute.
I first saw her in the coffer prince which you can watch from my soju. It is sorta long but its very funny and you will have a hard time taking a break from the series.
I know its old news but just found out she sings now to, which in my opinion she doesn’t to bad. =)
Well I will stop rambling and here are some pics and videos so you guys can see what I’m talking about.
Dancing on a once popular show on SBS
Working for Philips
Well I’m a big fan of the Flight of the Conchords, and they are coming to Dodge theater on May 19th. Now the issue I’ve always had with Live Nation is there ridiculous fees they tack on of there ticket sales. The cost of the ticket started at $35.50, so my friends and I said not bad and ok we will go purchase them. I went to live nation and found the event. First, they weren’t on sale till the 6th of this month unless you had some band resale promotion code. So I searched google and found out it was “SUGAMAM”, so if you guys need the code for presale tickets there you go =). Anyways I went thru to buy the tickets and the damn tickets came to $51.00 bucks from $35.50. I was like WTF $15.50 in fees, so this was a increase since the last time I bought tickets.
So now my friends and I aren’t even sure if we want to go anymore, but we will see. And if you guys don’t know who the Flight of the Conchords are, here are a few videos you might enjoy =D.
A buddy of mine made this graph when he was bored, and I thought it was pretty funny. So decided to share this to the 3 people that check my blog out haha =D. Check out my buddies tumbl: Skorped
