brand new ish...

one of my favorite sites to hit up, when i have the time (which is all the time) to sit on the internet, is conceptart.org. (see links on the right) through that site, i come across many outrageously good pieces of digital (and traditional) art and artist's sites. one of these sites i happened on in my perusals was www.velinov.com i really dig his style and the energy in his art and i wanted to try my hand at doing someting in the same type of style, check it out...

speaking of dopeness attached to a great cause, a few week weeks ago i caught a program that featured an organization that facilitates microloans to people in developing countries: www.kiva.org. the essence of it is giving individuals in the developing world the opportunity to start businesses in their communities while also giving people who want to help, the chance to do so on a more personal level. it is not just a faceless donation, it is an investment in the lives of others; and the organization works to help people both start their business, and repay the loans. it definitely was dope to see how these small loans affect the lives of people trying to make a better way for themselves/families...

2007 is shaping up to be a good year for action flicks, check the leaked trailer for 300, an adaptation based on frank miller's graphic novel 300 which was centers around the Battle of Thermopylae and is also influenced by the 1962 film, The 300 Spartans



between this, ghost rider (nicholas cage?), sin city 2, spiderman 3 (which i am not really to fond of-besides my opinion that kirsten dunst and tobey maguire pretty much suck as mary jane & spiderman [though i will admit to tobey not being so bad as much, dunst just does will never cut it as mary jane...] respectively-the fact that the symbiote suit will be donned in the film and that venom will make an appearance, put it on my to see list), TMNT (teenage mutant ninja turtles in case you ain't know!), transformers, and about 3 or 4 other movies that are slated for release 2-double O 7 is lookin good...
