The King of Pop 1958-2009

Kareem Rizk

I was going through some sites I found a while back and happened to come across collage artist Kareem Rizk. All I can say is I love his work. They are very nostalgic and full of energy. His arrangements or colors and composition are great. Check his work out at www.kareemrizk.com , etsy or his blog.

I really like these colors, or maybe it's the old fashioned style. These will come up in my next painting and some new drawings. That's all.

my neighbors backyard

This is my neighbors backyard. I wanted to post some images of it because I think it is amazing. He is out there everyday working on it and we just love it. I don't think many people have a view like this when they are in their backyard. The first pic is our yard which shows the stone wall that faces our house. The rest of the images our the garden/ park, I am not sure what to call it. There are places to sit throughout the garden and relax or just admirer the surroundings.

this is really annoying

A male black bear died today in Rochester after is was tranquilized high up in a 40 foot tree. The bear fell out of the tree while a bunch of idiots thought they could catch it in a net. I mean, did these professionals really think they were strong enough to catch a bear after a 20 to 40 foot drop?? On top of that, they need a week to figure out what killed the bear!!?? This really angered me today and I think the situation could have been handled differently, maybe in a way in which a bear was not tranquilized and left to plunge to the ground from a 40 foot tree. In the words of Seth Myers, Really? Really!? If anyone cares to see the video, here is the link and the video is in the right corner. This just disgusts me.

talent

If a man has talent and can't use it, he's failed. If he uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he uses the whole of it, he has succeeded, and won a satisfaction and triumph few men ever know.
