THE WEIRD AND THE WONDERFUL

Isn't YouTube WIERD!!!! Ahh the mysteries of what you can find out on the internet with just a click away...

Ok, so upon visiting one of my favorite illustration and drawing websites DRAWN!... I was lead to watch this first YouTube video showing us the exquisite nature of Chinese brush painting combined in a unique way with digital 3D medium... Wow, what a pleasure to the senses and artistic sensibilities...



Soon after seeing that wonderful video...

I saw in the YouTube sidebar THIS video, which hardly seemed related... then I thought WOW, what GREAT technological visuals for an even more FAR OUT conceptual piece...



Then after that video, things got EVEN weirder but strangely more pleasurable with even MORE realistic looking visuals combined with technology....



Don't you just love the happy positive voices and rapid fire visuals, with dance club music, and laser blast sound effects in the background???? ... way more entertaining and fast paced than American commercials.

Ok, at this point I decided I better log-off and get back to work...

Looks like technology has struck again, and carved yet another nitch into consumerism... thereby bringing all of us in the free-world together again. The coming Olympics looks to be even more exciting.... China, here we come!

God bless the internet, the Chinese, and their weird and wonderful commercials....

Happy clicking!

PS: I NEITHER ENDORSE OR CAN TESTIFY TO THESE PRODUCTS....

KID AT HEART


My little buddy Rowan (4 years old) and I traded portraits of each other last year when she and her family came to visit San Francisco. I love her drawing! It is permanently taped up on my wall. It ALWAYS makes me smile, especially when people stop and do the same... She's gonna be a true artist!
