10 day challenge: day 2

Day 2

Two Songs

:||One:{ Fiction (Dreams In Digital) ~ Orgy}

Video Link

 It is a bond I share with the song and my dream world in a collision of stars.
Since I heard this song, it seems to be the theme song to all my dreams, something about the music composition just flows and feels like when I am asleep.

:||Two:{Tomorrow Never Knows ~ The Beatles}
Video Link

Just something about this song I really love, it feels like a soul.
The newer version also feels right.

Colors & Me

Teal  :  White  :  Black  :  Magenta

||:{TEAL}:||

Pantone 19-4227(indian teal) & Pantone 320C (turquoise) to be specific

Teal is the color of calm ocean and radiant starry night from my dreamworld, anytime I am there it is quiet and peaceful as well as safe. Wearing teal keeps me level headed, but teal eyeshadow screams look at my shiny soul gateway. Teal jewelry makes me feel elegant and if I am not dressed up I dont wear it. As well as a teal mug makes my coffee feel like velvet going down my throat. 320C is ideally the color skin I would of loved to been born with, and my hair has been this color as well, but fading quite gross. Teal shoes make me feel like I can run anywhere. Teal nail polish makes me feel invincible to all. 

||:{White}:||

White is calm and snowy suede that is as Fluffy and airy as popcorn. Even though I love my popcorn dripping in butter! White feels soft. Wearing white makes em feel invisible and like a ghost I can move around without being bothered. A white canvas is just an invitation to be artistic. White animals say love me and ruffle my fur. White pants means bloody troubles, like an omen. But white hair is beauty like a majestic creature. A white fox feels like a hero. White pink is enchanting to me even if don't own a single one at the moment. 

||:{Black}:||

Black coffee, black nights, black color blood in the night, darkness when the creativity sparks. The absence of color but in reality it is all colors in one absorbed together living in harmony. Black is calming and homely feeling. Black silk wraps around the shadows. Black the color of clothing and hero's outfits when battling nightmares. Black wings torn in sacrifice to save loved ones. Black tastes melodic and sweet melancholy is the sugar to black. Black cats are my favorite since they are my familiar. The blackness surrounding a shattered broken heart only to hug it back into one piece, a gentle hug. Black coffin to symbolise resurrection and survival.

||:{Magenta}:||

 Magenta the color of untainted love, the color of new love, the feel of creamy custard, the sound of victory. Magenta the silence in the rain. I love when my hair is magenta it makes me feel beautiful. magenta earrings to enchain girlyness. Magenta screams at broken heart for it is the color of healing and invites a new love. Magenta lets try again feeling. Magenta nails drip to creativity. But magenta blanket is too loud to sleep with or cover. Magenta sharpie is the master labeler. Magenta Process 122 is a lovely shade for roses and cupcakes, they are tasty and smell sweet.

The association of colors briefing

Color theory, color association, color moods, color color color. The world of colors is a powerful one and there has been information embedded into our minds about what certain colors are certain moods, sounds, tastes, but there is also how we as individuals associate each color with as well.

For example majority of people associate yellow with happy, as influenced by the smiley face in 1963 by Harvey Ball{read the history here}. But to me yellow means headache/migraine and color loss. Or such a color like Blue meaning sad, or serene and if you eat on a blue plate you have less of an appetite. Such associations have been assigned, most are commonly acknowledged while others make you you question why?

Another reason some colors may not associate with some people is due to synesthesia disorder, I don't see it as a disorder since I have it, it was once 1 in every million people. But the numbers have become common and not all are aware of it. I only did because my guitar teacher had it and pointed me a book on it.
Synesthesia is considered a neurological phenomenon in which the sensory or cognitive part of our brains are crossed and happen to another pathway of the senses. Such as tasting colors, sounds are colors, shapes are tastes, liquids are shapes. Many more fun examples. When I drink water it is like I am swallowing spiked crystals, or certain colors are smooth to my ears. Many more examples that I rather you not raise your eyebrow at me. I have learned to stay quiet about it but it tends to leak into my artwork and dreams.



My favorite colors have changed on and off as I grow older, first it was purple then it jumped to black, then black and white. Now its Teal, white, black and magenta that are my favorites. There are certain shades I do like but not made it to my favorites. The leap into color happened when I learned about Josef Albers's Color Theory. I was able to go to one of his traveling exhibits and saw his hand made book in which he taught some great artists of his time. Only 3 of the original made books with his students works included are valued at $5000. It opened my eyes to colors even more, and I appreciate color much more.

They way a color will look like it is vibrating next to each other or the same color is placed on 2 colors at once and each side will look like a different shade but in fact it is the same colors, is truly fascinating.

10 day challenge: day 3

day 3

three films- I already did a 10 films entry so
I will choose 3 different actor's who's films
I adore them in and can watch over and over.

One

Love & Other Drugs- Jake Gyllenhaal

Seriously a chic flick something I don't watch. but swooon swooooon and whoah! plus I cried. Its really is a sweet movie. I cant watch this in a row like some of his other movies, but this one touched my heart hoping there are sweet guys like this that go through to find a cure.

Two

Hannibal - Anthony Hopkins

The lighting and cinematography was just beautiful and it out hannibal out in the open, even if Silence of the Lambs was much more powerful I can watch Hannibal more. Not only that but it is set in Florence and the beauty of the city is wonderful! I hope to walk the same paths one day as they did in the movie! Even if it wasn't always there still would be nice to visit. 

Three

What Dreams May Come - Robin Williams
This movie will always be in any list I have to make, it is powerful, tear jerker and reaches your soul, Robin was perfect for this movie and the love he played and the journey back to his soulmate is mesmerizing! 

Heaven

Hell

 (dante's inferno inspiration sea of faces)
                       

10 day challenge: day 4

Day 4

four books

{:O N E:}::{T h e  L o r a x}
A childhood story, with so much meaning and hope of saving the tree's and the dangers of man's selfishness. It maybe short but it's message is powerful. The movie was not bad but luckily they kept the spirit of the book alive. While Dr. Seuss is known as a children's author, he was also an artist for propaganda during the wars. I don't remember Dr. Seuss whole story but I cam glad he wrote this book and many others that are still favorites.

{:T W O:}::{T h e  L i t t l e  P r i n c e}
I just love this book, I have memories of my dad reading it to me when I was small then watching the movie later on. I also have this book for alice in english, spanish and even korean. My dad loves it and I hope he will also read it to my daughter. The little prince is also inspirational but I see it more in the hispanic community. Not sure why but either way the explanation Antonine de Saint-Exupéry of how an adult loses his inner child is simple but accurate. This book is good to use when citing in an essay.


{:T H R E E:}::{ A l i c e  i n  W o n d e r l a n d  &
 T h r o u g h  t h e  l o o k i n g  g l a s s}
These books are easily also one of the top inspirational books, majority of people in any society and part of the world can give you a brief synopsis of the story. And many more artists can show you the influence that was sparked about reading the books. I loved the story since I was little and loved it even more when I finally actually read both books. My dreams loved it, and now my daughter is named Alice. But in reality there was a time with Lewis Carroll photographed 2 girls at different times, an Alice & an Aileen. it was meant to be!

{:F O U R:}::{ 1 9 8 4}
I read this in highschool but it left an impact and I started to notice the influence & inspiration  everywhere I looked and watched. It is a great book to use in an argument in any subject essay. There are so many open links that can be referenced back to 1984. George Orwell was truly ahead of his time and a great writer. I have read 2 other books of his and they linger in my memories, or maybe Big Brother is watching...

10 day challenge: day 6

Day 6
six places

One:{ Monterrey, Mexico }
City of Heritage and family, although I was born in Dallas, TX the rest of my family is in Mexico, over the years many have migrated towards texas. There are many memories in mexico growing up. I got to experience little general stores, going to comic book stores, the street markets and much more! I love it there more as an adult as a child I had mix feelings.

One:{ Negril, Jamaica }
City of serenity, there is such a calm atmosphere and relaxation in Negril, the people knew how to relax and enjoy life. It was also the first time I got to see clear waters.

One:{ Helsinki, Finland }
City of friendships, a turning point in my life and the place where I have meet some of the greatest friendships I will ever have, although we all came from different parts of the world, we where connected in Helsinki.

 

One:{ Stockholm, Sweden }
City of Love & Dreams, I wanted to live here and I almost made that reality but then my heart was destroyed and that dream was lost. But I was able to travel over 5 times to Stockholm happily. Even if my heart was torn this city will alway make me happy and feel at home!

One:{ Toronto, Canada }
City of Snow & Amanda, I love the fact I was able to visit Amanda and explore Toronto with her. As well as being able to go to my favorite director's art Exhibition. It was so cold when I went but I was happy and not only that but I won all the roll up contest and gave it to Amanda. Free coffee & donuts for her.

One:{ Schiphol, Amsterdam Airport }
Lastly an airport, yes an airport this airport connected me to europe the most it is a city within the airport and amazingling large. And every time I had to run from one end of the terminal to the other side of the airport. Luckily I had enough time to make it but still had to run! I even had to stay overnight 12 hours and that was a journey in itself with 2 friends. Such memorious place! 

In 2015 I will be able to add another city and visit Sarah!
