hootenanny

Boy, I've certainly been neglectful of this place for the past couple weeks. But my excuses are aplenty: uncomfortable amounts of homework, comatose-like vacation, and I moved from my parents house in Plymouth into a trailer with my cousin in Campton - the latter taking up the majority of my time, but will hopefully prove to be a fruitful decision, as far as productivity is concerned, as there is far too much traffic in my Plymouth home for me to ever assemble anything of any real importance. Unfortunately we don't have any internet hooked up yet, probably because Time Warner Cable wants to stunt my internet piracy growth...for now I'll just commute to Plymouth every time I want the internet and save anything of any significant importance as "Web Page, complete", drive back to Campton and use my fucking imagination.
So yea, I guess I'll just throw some more Myspace music sites at you, of friends and acquaintances of whom I respect their work most highly, for the next couple posts (as I have a notable quantity of them at my disposal). The first being a buddy of mine, Forrest Kameron, whom I work with at the dinning hall. Usually he's cookin' burgers (and sneakin' tabasco sauce in yer buns), but internally he's computing intricate pieces of avant GARbage liken to, and I quote (him), "Getting lost in an abandoned building during a trip to whales with five of your friends and finding a trap door in the bottom and climbing through it into a bottle full of tiny mechanical monkeys clapping symbols in your ears until you pass out and wake up in a carnival without any elephants, while sipping tea.". He goes by Steal Trombone Wheels , or at least in this particular interpretation, and all the apparent separate tracks on the page are actually a singular song split into several tracks as to not drive you batshit insane, so, if you can, listen to it all in succession.

intermission - please excuse me.

Sometimes I get bored.  Sometimes It's 12:39 AM.  In the spirit of spirits and music creation, I bring to you a middle aged British man and several dozen birds exercising the methods of chance:

another to simply enjoy:

...digital sand-witch artttt...

THIS IS AN EXCLUSIVE PEAK AT THE ASTONISHINGLY SHARP, TRANS-PROGRESSIVE AUTOMATON, whom I often strictly refer to as, but not limited to, Americo Semprebon's partially internet based and mostly digital (but sometimes not) art gallery.  He is like totally one of my best friends and has probably made you a killer sandwich at the Prospect Hall - that is if you knew what was good for you.  He has been drawing since as long as I can remember, and I admire that sort of hardcore determination in any genre of creation.  Sometimes the sheer amassing of one's work, over a long period of time,  can define itself alone as qualifying professionalism - even if the works themselves are of no notable quality.  But that is not to say that Rico's pieces are not of the utmost quality!  In fact, they are more refined with each passing brush stroke.  So let us take a moment to view some choice pieces, handpicked by the Fresh_Emerald, by process of aesthetic selection.  Most of these are done with pen and Wacom tablet (unadulterated product placement) on a FREE image manipulation software known as Gimp (similar to Photoshop Elements, but not as complex as Photoshop complete), but their are a couple of acrylic based paintings which I will note explicitly to diffuse any nasty confusions that may arise as a result.  Give him your time, patience, and ingredients of desired sandwich (bread first please!).

The above was printed on 11x17 inches of the most expensive paper ever created, and then matted to a cozy piece of foam board and nestled within a futuristic looking black frame...sorry ladies, it's sold.

These last two are actually different stages of the same collaborative painting, by Americo Semprebon and Tom Perkins (whose artwork was featured two posts ago).  It's crazy acrylic paint on an even crazier piece of cardboard. Oh so crazy.

...so that's it.  Americo works for a living, but we might as well be getting paid in seaweed for all the good it does us, so if you would like to inquire about buying a piece, or having a piece specifically made to match your bathroom decor then you may contact me personally, or look up Americo Semprebon on Facebook and go straight to the source.  You'll find most of these pieces on his Facebook - he is working on an official website, but you'll just have to wait for that.
