OXYMORON!

Nurture Boy
(Stereotypically feminine attribute, a young male)


I guess the title comes from DJ Worker Girl. The Proffessor by that name, said that it is a play on "working for the future" which is far from I imagined. I figured that the options for naming yourself DJ Worker Girl were either:

A. The slightly contadicting nature of a female in the workforce.
B. The inevitable future where one becomes less artistic for the sake of making money to live a comfortable life.

I enjoyed the first reason more and for that reason I chose Nurture (The caring, feminine emotion that is usually reserved for women or mothers) and boy (the opposite of Girl)


LETS MOVE ON...



Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job

I have always adored adult swim for their complete deviation from the normal television entertainment. After the anime addicts of america have had their fill and left, adult swim has a lot of time to show cartoons and shows that are truly entertaining in a manner that can be found no where else on television and you might be hard pressed to even find it online.

Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job (must be said completely) is one of those shows. However I single it out because it goes even farther away from television entertainment while at the same time using the form of old television techniques. The video above is a typical example of their techniques.


I'm considering doing my study of an artist on Tim and Eric specifically for their show Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job.

The Struggle to Begin

I find it hard talking about anything here. I've come to the realization that the only reason anyone will read about you is if you make yourself important enough to do so. Weather you are reallu important or not is unnecessary information. Most of the time I've learnt to do that through comedy. But writing comedy on a journal is more of a hassle than I imagined.

I always considered reading the other classmates blogs to get and idea but I don't have the link. I never got the link. I should probably send an email asking for the link. In the mean time I have wasted too much time and now have to type something. Maybe I should write about how scary it is that I am making videos. Its odd I understand the logic of these videos and have been watching the likes of them long before I found out they were art.

The GIJoe PSAs were hilarious and I was suprised to find them labelled as video art. All of a sudden the entire video art scene seems bigger than me and I can't seem to focus.

Some of the works are serious. They make me feel that I will never be taken serious unless I create something that is deep or experimental. The only solution for me, being unserious by nature, is to create extremely experimental works while maintaining my light heartedness by saying jokes. Besides when you say jokes people tend to disregard your flaws. Thats what most overweight people gravitate to. It's an excellent strategy.

I shouldnt complain though. This class is the only one giving me great feedback. The other art classes are somewhat draining my soul and I dont even want to think about my Baroque History class.

I'll have to see how far I come.

Now back to animating.
