Just a quickie: Booty Juggler AND! Secret WarsxReebokxDaydream

No apologies this time about not posting for a while - I've decided rather than feeling guilty about not posting at least every week, I'm just gonna do it when I have time and when I have something I want to say/share.

I was looking at Bobsmade's devJournal the other day and she'd put up this link:


Watch Secret Wars x Reebok x Daydream in Entertainment Videos  |  View More Free Videos Online at Veoh.com

It's a video of the 2007 Secret Wars x Reebok x Daydream event in Barcelona. Basically, graff artists from all over the world (or may have just been Europe, I can't rightly remember) go head to head with a white board - or equivalent drawing surface - and a big marker, and draw their little hearts out. There was some amazing stuff produced, so watch the vid and take a look.

Another little thing I've got to put up here today is a very neat 2D game called "Booty Juggler" - it's being seeded by Rubber Republic (great people, ne?) and it's part of the 4Mations campaign, which I'll put up a bit more about later. Designed by illustrator Robin Davey , it's about Patch the Pirate Octopus, and you have to help him protect his pirates booty:


Ttfn,

Jaye ;p

EDIT: Here's the embedded code for the game -

Flyzzz - Featuring Callum the Chameleon

Okay, so it's been a few - it's also been really busy for me lately. I've started back at uni and am looking forward to getting on with some great new projects; also been workin' some. And to top it off, I am the very ungrateful receiver of (yet another) chest infection - okay, so it's the second one this year, but that's still a lot for me, especially considering I don't smoke o_O.

Well, you know how I said in the first post I might put up some viral type stuff every now and then? I am about to post the first ever viral game on this blog :D and it's a good un':



Go play it here: http://www.4mations.tv/clipgame.aspx?key=8258AB217BD32BEA&ctx=medialist&type=image

It's made by Aardman, with the campaign by MCM and the lovely people at Rubber Republic are sending it out to people, which is nice of them. And it's all for a good cause, so go have a play around and send it to your mates.

I have another gamey game that I may post about later, so watch out for that one too.

Bobsmade

Hey there peeps.

Thought I'd just big-up another favourite artist of mine - her name is Bobsmade and she rocks. Here's a link to her deviantArt page: http://bobsmade.deviantart.com/
Bobsmade does these amazing doodle-like sketches and pieces; they look like they take forever. Wish I could have the patience to do stuff that detailed :). I have had a go - check it out:

She also customises shoes (ballerinas, Chucks, old 80's style sneakers) and bags, designs t-shirts, and does these really neat pieces using coffee as a stain/watercolour-like paint.

Take a look at this:


Anyways, that's all for today. I do have a big ranty post that I'm planning on doing, but I've misplaced the link. Will shove it up here once I find it again.

Bah for now! God bless,

Jaye ;p

"911 Emergency..."

Okay, so I've been away for a little while - not away as in 'away', but like away from blogging. I've been kind of busy with work and stuff lately, getting ready to start back at uni etc, so things have been pretty crazy around here.

No new graff vids or shots I'm afraid (I'm going to have to go on a photohunt pretty soon to get some more pics up), but I have updated my previous posts from having just links to actual embeded videos! I only recently remembered that you could do that...yeah, yeah, I know. You guys are probably all saying: "Yes, duncehead. Of course you can do that" o_O. But I'm a blogging n00b, so forgive me.

The reason for the name of this post is twofold: one is for a trip I took to the E.R./Casualty/whatever you want to call it today. I had a bit of an accident on Friday evening; I was walking down the stairs (reading at the same time - which although it's pretty kool to be able to multi-task, is not a good idea whilst descending from...well, anywhere) and hadn't seen a bag that had been left on one of the bottom steps, and when I put my arm out to stop myself from falling, I hit my arm really hard on the bannister. Couple that with a fall UP the stairs at work on Thursday, and my arm was smarting a bit. I can be a bit of a hypercondriac (sp?) sometimes, so I decided not to head on down to casualty right away to get it checked out or anything; gradually over the weekend it started to hurt more and more to the point of it throbbing even when I wasn't doing anything. I decided to go to the doctors and let them take a look at it and he sent me down to get it X-Rayed today. Thankfully the wait wasn't particularly long and it was over quickly. But way to go for their "care and support" .¬¬ ! Which was like none, in case you didn't get my sarcasm. It was more like a "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" visit - the woman yanked my arm around (which hurt :( ) and when she'd taken a look was like "okay, go visit your doctor in a week" and then stalked off. So I take it it isn't broken then? I'm guessing not - although a cast may have been kool, especially to draw on, I'm kind of glad I dont' have the faff of all that. But I hurt! Could you not have told me what WAS wrong with it? A soft tissue injury or bruise to the bone perhaps? I guess not...

Anyway, the other reason for the name was I meant to do this post last Thursday, in memory of 9/11, but I went out and forgot *_* (whoops!). I found this video from Ryan Adams whilst I was doing my job as a seeder monkey and thought it was pretty topical - and also a good song - so it's now part of this post. Sorry for this one just being a link, but they've taken down the embed code. What can ya do?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IhDW18rxyY

I took this shot down in NYC in '05. My family took me there for my 18th and it was absolutely amazing. It was very weird around Ground Zero though. Very eerie and silent, despite the fact that it's in New York City! I did a little redux on the photo after watching the "World Trade Centre" movie by Oliver Stone. Now there's a film that makes you think it could go either way, but I think they were pretty respectful of it. Here's a link to my devArt page where I posted this up: http://wildfire198.deviantart.com/art/In-Loving-Memory-40598016

So yeah, that's all for now. I'll try and get some good shots or find a new video to post up soon.

Check y'all later! God bless,

Jaye ;p

Etoiles Urbaines

Meh, so much for my one post a week rule. It'll probably become more like once a week when I get back to work and studying etc. I just couldn't help myself though...here is another Fafi related video that I found whilst traipsing around on YouTube - this time there are lots of other artists featured as well, including Microbo, which some people may have heard of. If not, go check her out, she's very kool.



I first found out about Microbo and Blu (from my previous post) in the Street Sketchbook by Tristan Manco. I was given it for Christmas by some people who knew I was into Banksy and the whole Street Art scene; it's a really good book, and has some great, almost secret drawings that most people would never have seen had the artists not been so generous as to show off their private sketches and doodles and bare their notebook souls in the book.


I keep getting the " and @ buttons mixed up on this computer. I miss my work Mac so much *_* !

Blu, Fafi and Pride and Prejudice

Okay, so welcome back! For my first post - after the intro one, I don't think that one really counts as a first post - I thought I'd put up some vids I found on my interweb searches in the world of graffiti. The vid is called "Muto" and is done by Blu, a very kool street artist who I think is from Italy. It's kinda old (well, only a few months, but in internet terms, that's pretty darn ancient) but I really liked it when I first found it and thought I'd share it anyway. Talk about dedication! I can't tell if the graff is animated or he actually did it all:



Another good one is this: This one is of Fafi, a french (Parisian?) street artist who's done some stuff for Adidas and LeSportsac, among other fab works. She's very talented and deserves some love, so go check her out; a link to her site.

I've been watching the BBC adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice" for the first time, and it's pretty good :). I've seen the film lots of times, so I know the story and everything. But Colin Firth IS Mr Darcy. Squeee! He's so adorable. What with all his brooding and smouldering eyes *takes a deep breath*...okay, fangirl moment over.

Hello!

Well, I've had this blog for a couple weeks now and I've only just gotten around to writing this first post...finally! You can find some really profound things on a blog - people's thoughts, their likes and dislikes, things they wouldn't tell people they know 'irl', but because it's out in the nether-like cloud of cyberspace, they feel confident to do so. That's why it's taken me a little while to start this off. I didn't want to just spew something out onto the page, like word vomit; I wanted to be interesting and engaging, perhaps even funny.

Whether or not I was successful, I guess is up to you.

So, what do you want to know? My name is Jaye. I like colours, particularly in the form of marker pens and/or crayons, and designing things. These things can be characters, words, moving (or not) pictures and doodly sketches. I don't like peas or mayonnaise. I think scrawlers should be made to clean up their work and learn from the masters of street art, some of which I’ve got up in the ol’ blog roll on the right. I also work in the world of viral marketing, and may post up some ads or campaigns I’ve come across from time to time. Maybe I’ll even discuss movies and music and the like.

So if you’re interested, pull up a chair and hang out for a while. I can’t promise to post like all the time or anything, but I’ll try to get something up at least once a week. I’ve got a whole notebook of neat stuff I’ve found on t’interweb and (whilst I know a lot of bloggers do this) I’m gonna put some of it up on here for you to enjoy.

Check y'all later.

Jaye
