BET Music Awards
I have to honestly say that this year award show was dope. Amazing outfits and posiive performances. Well organize and no controversy!!!!
NICKI MINAJ actually looks normal, even the orange is okay. She did it big!
ALBUM WILL BE CRAZY!!!
FREAKY ASS BACKGROUND!!!
I SEE ALICIA WAS SHOWING THE PREGNANCY ALIL!!!
DIDDY IS ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMERs IN HISTORY!!!
JANELLE MONAE DOESNT GET ENOUGHT CREDIT FOR WHo She IS
OK... IT HAS BEEN a LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE SEEN an ARTIST GIVE HIS HEART & SOUL INTO A PERFORMANCE. YOU KNOW IN LIFE YOU CANT ASK TO GET A SECOND CHANCE OR BE GIVEN one, YOU HAVE TO EARN IT. He has definitely done that. it WAS TRULY THE BEST TRIBUTE TO MICHEAL JACKSON IVE ever SEEN. Chris brown couldn't have done it any better. I commend and respect him for such an amazing tribute!!!

Spotlight: Shes pretty talented in my opinion...
So i first saw her wrk on facebook. Next sent a friend request, and started visiting he blogsite frequently in which she displays all of her pieces. Which you guys should check out HERE Her pieces are unique and always impress me anytime i look upon something different. I use to draw myself when i was younger so i really do appreciate great art. My interest grew so much towards her work that i was able to grow enough courage of asking her for a little q&a for swc, and obviously she accepted...lol I was really taken back and intriuged by her stuff and i really think that you guys would enjoy as much as me are even more.Learn,Read,Enjoy. View Q&A and view pics below as well
.Name
Nandi (Loaf) Icart-Pierre
.Age
!8
.Location
Brooklyn, NY
.What/Who are your inspirations?
Eh, thats a question I always have a hard time answering because there are so many answers to it…but to list a few: life, death, simplicity, physical expression, line, Egon Schiele, girls, sex, the anatomy of the face and Nandi Loaf because she's dope =]
.When did you discover your passion for art?
My father is an artist so I guess it's just in me. I have no memory of me not drawing or not wanting to draw, I've been doing it since day 1.
.Do you remember your first piece?
Hmm, actually my very first piece(s) and commissioned job was given to me when I was like 9. One of my mom's close friends had me do 5 small paintings of different types of houses in Brooklyn. I haven't seen them in years, I don't even remember what they look like lol
.How does art play a role in your everyday life?
How does it not? I can't live without art, food and water…and Bacon.
.You coming from the city, does that influence your work in anyway?
I would say that it impacts my thought process heavily. Most of my ideas and pieces are influenced by everything that surrounds me. I mean New York City is a crazy place to be, how could it not influence me lol
.Where do you see yourself in the next 5yrs?
Struggling lol, like most artists, but in 10 years I hope to be on the last page of "501 Artists You Should Know," so watch out for that lol
.What are you doing now?
I'm in the process of working on this series of self portraits that all show how difficult, interesting and amazing being 18, jobless and gay in NYC is. I only have two pieces in this series right now but there is so much more to come so stay posted.
.Whats next for you?
Breathing… I have no idea what's next but I hope it's good.
If you want to stay up to date on what I'm doing, check out some of my doodles, and even decipher some of my thoughts then subscribe to my blog and stay posted http://bunnyinthetoaster.blogspot.com/ ... =]

Thoughts after The Roots Jam Session Show.....
June 15Th 2010, the day i saw the legendary Roots crew perform. I will remember this day for the rest of my life,seriously..lol. Sorry if it sounds as though I'm odn, or being extra but if you were there last nite you would understand exactly where I'm coming from. Questlove is a genius orchestrating the whole show, speaking to members through mics thats connected to each band memeber ear piece. I give Black Thought, Questlove, and the other talented memebers so much more credit than i did prior before seeing them perform. Theres nothing like straight organic music being created in front of your eyes. No auto tune, n Hard 808 Bass,or drake feature(no shots..lol) just pure music, horns, drums,strings,keys, and lyrics. You cant go wrong with that at all. So to put it in a nutshell show was awesome, def enjoyed it with he amigos (Jklan waddup). There album snext Tuesday the 22ND go out and support real music.

Jennifer-Photographer Vitalia Artwork
Jennifer Vitalia is a contemporary artist , trendsetting body painter and astonishing photographer with a deep sense of identity and emotional awareness. Her works are often created around a single concept, one that builds up layers of meaning as she paints and etches words and other linework right over the initial image. Finished works display layer after layer of brilliant color, with vigorous figures dominating the picture plane while others recede, letting the rhythmic flow of letters stand out. Here is some of Jennifer's work:
