Project 365
June 14th, 2009
Project 365, is the brainchild of Avid Liongoren, a graphic designer, director and overall multimedia man. He uploads one photo or drawing a day for the whole year, in hopes of inspiring people to create something new everyday. He cleverly makes use of the technique of drawing into photographs as he draws in little creatures into normal day-to day scenes, making them more surreal and bringing a whole new meaning to the picture.

Next-Thing in Music- B.O.B.
May 24th, 2009
B.o.B has a unique talent in that he produces, writes, raps, arranges, and mixes his own music. He is a one stop music creation shop from top to bottom. This allows B.o.B the rare opportunity of recording with reckless abandon. It is a freedom that he willingly accepts. “I am constantly coming up with songs and concepts because I want to sound different. Nobody made it by sounding like everyone else.” This unique sound caught the attention of two industry heavyweights, Jim Jonsin and TJ Chapman, who are poised to make the rest of the world believers.
Hit beat maker Jim Jonsin, who has already made his mark by producing fire such as “Give It To Me” by Sean Paul and Danity Kane’s “Showstopper” in addition to smashes by Trick Daddy, Trina, Pretty Ricky and others, has signed B.o.B to his Rebel Rock imprint as the flagship artist. Plus, the industry tastemaker, TJ Chapman the CEO of TJ’s DJ’s is serving as B.o.B’s co-manager after helping launch the careers of T-Pain, David Banner, Yung Joc, and Rick Ross to name a few. Why? TJ Chapman simply believes, “B.o.B is the next superstar.” Atlantic must have agreed as they have signed B.o.B to their roster and are eager to help B.o.B achieve his dreams.

This LA based female duo is a part of the new dance craze and LA hip hop movement “Jerkin”. Kids everywhere are starting to do the “Jerk” dance.

This Weeks Sign of the Apocolypse: Kids “Smoking” Candy
April 11th, 2009
Alarming is one thing you could say about this trend… atrocious is another. This is pretty upsetting, kids are literally SMOKING CANDY. It sounds pretty odd, but just take a look at this YouTube clip and you’ll see how insanely retarded this trend is.
It’s taking place in lunchrooms, playgrounds and classrooms across America. It may even be happening in your own home. The danger is that if the powder goes down the wrong tube, you could laryngospasm, which is your voice box spasming and closing.
Three Words: Beat Your Kids.
It helps.
AIG’s Easter Egg Hunt / Possible New Banksy
April 11th, 2009
I win!
This wasn’t signed by Banksy, could just be an imposter, but nontheless the political message is there. I feel as though us being likened to kids while the grown ups take all our eggs hits pretty close to home. Maybe if we all gang up, we can take ‘em down?
