MJ

WOW.

To think 11 days after my last post, I would be writing his brother Michael had passed away. 

On the morning of June 26 2009, I woke to the shocking news. Michael Joeseph Jackson had been rushed to hospital in a coma. Not long after, pronounced dead. Cardiac arrest. I'm sure everybody who loves music can agree, the confusion and denial was shared amongst all of us. My heart, bleeding, my face almost as wet as love. 

He was my friend. He was a friend to us all. A family member to those who lived.

Genius. Pioneer. Idol. Magician. One of a kind.

On the 26th June 2009 a little piece of me died.

....all night, you give me what i like.

intense highly explosive DYNAMITE pure DYNAMITE

for my nephew by jamie

What interests me the most about this piece, is not just the imagery, but the juxtposition of the imagery and colour and the person. It lays very nicely. Simple and clean. Much the same as a 6 year old boy from Gruyere whom his mum still bathes, whom helps around the house, whom plays with motorbikes, whom has my heart. Much to the wholeness of the playful girls, the negative spaces inbetween bare creepy shapes therefore roughing out the youthful sugar in this picture slightly. There is more to life than meets the eye. And although Tys would always like to be at the front of the line, he not necessarily is. This is a statement of how Tyson has had to grow up, and although he is a beautiful little boy, with many troubles, the inner sweetheart comes alive at his most popular moments. And I would die for him.

'Churning out type styles.'

The BOLD may possibly be far too bold on the second piece, so the final was indeed the first piece. The focus should be on the typeface. The bottom one still sits so nicely. Almost like the wheels are in motion.

Pom Pom Punk is a young organisation that holds sweet monthly soireès around Paris. As you know I am a huge fan of French culture and draw much inspiration and dream far to much for here. There's a small website to checkout some of the more alternative trends going around at the moment in Paris.
