Morph!

I drew exactly what I wanted to draw for every second of this. It feels so good to do that and not worry about an overall image. Blissful intentions.

Suicide Angel

This is for you
When you looked at me with that blank stare
Saying "my love, caress me, touch my waist
I'm wearing your favorite underwear"
You know i hate lace

To you and your burden
When the others would take advantage
The alcoholic ramblings of an angel:
"They're not like you, i take them for granted"
You were wrong, because this life is interchangeable

To you and your letter
The note that materialized your silent scream
Your life was pain, and i was the wound
Crying alone, reclusive writing down your dreams
The instrument sounds bad if its not tuned...

Does your suicide sound any better?

Art Dump

This is a bunch of concept work I have done the past month. I will be modeling these assets in 3d for my demo reel which will be completed by June 2009.

no answers from daddy tonight

did it take a moment
to collect yourself
before you swallowed the barrel?
was sweat blurring your vision,
coating your fingers,
making it difficult
to pull the trigger?
did fear crawl,
lay low to the floor,
to meet the feet
of such sweet relief?
when you realized
for the first time
you could make the voices
stop

painting them

all over the walls.

Sooo, I've been really into making these things lately. I don't know what to call them, but it's been really therapeutic. I'm currently a sophomore Photo major at Pratt. I have some more work on my blog. This is the link.

counter-clockwise lies

This is just some old poem I still have from Dec. '05.

They do love you.
So do I.
I don't want to be here with the chance of this nightmare becoming reality.
This morning I thought about dying.
You are my light in the dark,
without you I would be nothing.
I wish you could hear them talk about you the way they do,
but you only hear when they scold.
I wish I could fix everything and make it okay.
But it's hard when i cannot read what you're thinking.
I believe that what you think is wrong,
but the truth is that I do not think; I know.
And when I look,
I see that there is an angel and a demon in every one of our souls,
but when I look at you,
sometimes all I can see is the angel.
Yesterday, I looked through your dresser and could not find your wings,
and there is no God, this is something else I know,
but this morning I woke up trembling,
and I prayed,
Although I do not know to who,
that the absence of wings does not signify a presence of evil,
Because this morning I realized dependency,
and I believe that it is best that i know not how to end a thing.

Bloodstained Revolutions

Bloodstained revolutions, and grinding our gears
Millions asked to over look their children
A single death is sacrifice, while holding back my tears
I shake hands with my brother "where have you been?"
He's a victim of war, a pawn for the empire all these years
I have nothing but respect, but i can see past his grin.

im in dire need of caffeine.

This is a photo of my best friend from when I went to visit her last spring in Virginia. I just got around to processing the film and scanning the negatives the other day. Thought I'd put it up. It's one of those images that I really like, but don't really think would go over all that well in class/I don't have the balls to bring it in.

Does anyone know a better way to upload photos so they don't look so shitty? I guess I could upload them onto my web space, but honestly I'm not sure how to do that.

here's a silk screen print i just entered into the political art show at pratt.

From the plastic blue
Frame that shapes your world
To the hole punched walls
That help you dream
Stand free from them both
And let yourself breathe

Whaley -KenKorb

Scribbles is a fun program for Mac. Downloaded it just before and made this cute little wall eyed whale with it. I'd suggest getting it if you have a mac. You don't need to buy it 'cause you can just crop out the watermark that appears on the bottom with like, the preview application thing.

Another Coloring Book Page

So I gave away the coloring book I've been working on for a few weeks today. Here's another page I made a few days ago:



Seriously I've been thinking so much about making other people have fun with coloring books, and I really wanna try new things to do this. Not even art things, but like, anything. Lots of people don't do much anymore (including myself) and I wanna get back into like, fun little activities/events to have fun with people. I just played Spit with someone last night 'til 6:30 in the morning. I feel like making up games must be so fulfilling when you actually make a fun game without ridiculous flaws. I mean, the creative process would be fun, and you can get so much time out of playing it. I think making a game is my next task, so I'll be back with that eventually hopefully.

old song

This song is probably like 2 or 3 years old now. I made it with Frankie a while ago at his house and its just been sitting or circulating minutely around my group of friends but I figure this is a good place to show anyone else who might be interested.

Matte Painting

photo/white out/ sharpie concoction -Joey Puleio

on black and white 35mm film i took a picture of the back of an old scraped up air conditioner, then while developing it i stuck my finger and the grain seeker under the enlarger and used them to block out the light... after that i drew in the details with a sharpie and used white out on the areas that needed more white.

assignment in class that brought to mind make movement.- Joey Puleio

"What we need are books that hit us like a most painful misfortune, like the death of someone we loved more than we love ourselves, that make us feel as though we had been banished to the woods, far from any human presence, like a suicide. A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us."- Franz Kafka


The quote from Franz Kafka expresses not only how i feel about books, but about everything. Unfortunately not much today has that much to offer. It's hard come across something so honest it shakes you, and half the time people that do come across something that honest aren't honest enough with themselves to be shaken.
From the time that we are younger we are taught in a repeated pattern that has proves successful in some and leaves no room for exploration and creativity; giving us no real personal fulfillment, just the satisfaction of it being done. Our whole life we are taught to repeat what works or repeat what sells and this mindset has taken over everything we have, including personal creative outlets used to express ones self, their ideas, or their feelings.
Music has been turned into a game where the band with the most Internet views or the closest carbon-copy of the latest trends are labeled the best, where no on one cares for substance or the pain or how real other music comes across. People can't even take time to try and relate to music anymore because they are too caught up in fitting in or being accepted.
I can't help but to think that the same or a similar trend will follow in literature. the world is killing its creativity in fear of giving people a chance to do things their own way, and its scary the way people just get in line.

A little self portrait for you guys

home sweet home.

these are just a few photos i had from about 8 months ago while i was visiting long island. they're not really anything special, just kind of messing around.

in honor of the upcoming presidents week...

well i started drawing abe lincoln via sharpie on an empty postage stamp sheet and sorta got carried away... which is no excuse for how weird this is--actually, that probably only adds to the weirdness. but i still kinda like it

Friday the 13thhh \m/ Ft Gill Blitzer: Ivan Ceron

Tri-colored mobile upload - Ken Korb

Photography is making art out of God's art. So here's a picture I took on my phone of one of the intelligent design's masterpieces:



Big picture at http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/4949/thecoloredroadaheadma8.jpg

And I've been reading about Intelligent Design lately. Really interesting.
