Another sunny day




:D Just tanning on my balcony. 





Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo was a mexican painter, and she did not receive any training for art. She got into a huge accident when she was in the bus and she went through tons of operation, but she didn't fully recover from the start, plus she drinks and she smokes, so a lot of pain and discomfort  follows her for the rest of her life. Her paintings express a lot of pain with imagination(surrealism). I love how she has a strong opinion and attitude towards literally EVERYTHING. 


"I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best." 
"I was born a bitch. I was born a painter."- Kahlo


I have to say she married the wrong guy ! Diego Rivera is kind of an asshole, he promised to be loyal to her but cheated like a hundred times and ended up sleeping with Frida's sister. What kind of monster is that!  but she also had a few one night stands with male/female lovers. Well, at least he was there for her at the end when she was dying and finally got her first solo exhibition in Mexico. 


Kahlo- Little Dear 1946

Kahlo- The Broken Column 1944




ps. the movie is called Frida. (2002) :)

$$$ MONEY $$$

The Drums-Money

Why does everything has to do with money? 

Why don't I have any money so i can do whatever the fuck i want. 

Money should not be the goal of life because that is pathetic, but we do need it in order to survive. 

I don't necessarily see myself working my ass off and forget how to live my life. 
Isn't the goal of life is to live our dream? come on, we only live once. If you hate your permanent job, most likely you are gonna hate your life.  i know i would. 

I remember my kin 140 prof asked us" why do you going to gym if you hate it so much? there are so many alternatives out there that can replace the boring gym routine." and she explained with exercise if you don't love it it's hard to keep up, which i agree.  

but sometimes doing things I don't like its a little challenge for myself to prove that i can do it. and that makes me feel good.  Maybe I'm not as smart as others in academics but I know what I'm good at and I am going for it and hoping to be successful one day like my parents. 

one thing i learn from class is that self talk really helps your way of thinking because everything is in your head! and i think for me writing blog is my way of self talking. 

night night.

Jan Svankmajer- Czech Artist/Filmmaker

meat love- 1989

Jan Svankmajer's surrealist work has some kind of black humour, so if you are not into this  then too bad.  HAHA. because i love his short film (animation) stuff. 
If you like you can also check out a full length film called Little Otik (also called greedy gut)
It is interesting to me how he captures food/eating in a way that's out of our ordinary. 
Have fun! ;)
