Bhudda's sekund cuzin

Hey what's up?

It's been almost 3 months since the last post, although I do have a bunch of new art to upload. I moved to Santa Cruz just recently and am no longer living in an overcrowded house. My new roommates are way chill and my sister and cousin live nearby. I have been experimenting with some new ideas lately, sop let me know what you think. Check out some fresh new art pieces:



NEW ART


This is a piece I made the last time I visited LA, on my cousin's macbook.


I like to make space art and this one in particular I attempted to recreate some nebulae. I like to use color conjugates as well as parallel hues.



Just recently I made this piece for my girlfriend Salena, I included pieces from forests, waterfalls and bamboo gardens. She really likes it!


MUSIC

As of mixtapes, right now I am working on a new series of beat tapes I like to call "Kutz Volumes 1-3". Expect some new music in my next couple posts!

D.A.N.K. (Dynamic Absurdity Naturalizing Knowledge)

What up yo?

So I have decided to share with you guys some different Photoshop art that I made a while ago. This includes some art pieces with actual photos grafted into the artwork. I do this in a couple different ways, so be prepared for something unusual.

MUSIC

DJ Sets:

DJ Prescription (Samson Simpson Suite)

TRACKS:

Le Castle Vania- Tigertron (The Toxic Avenger Remix)

Yesterday's New Quintet- Daylight

Walter Murphy - A Fifth Of Beethoven

The Cataracs featuring Dev -Bass Down Low

Fukkk Offf- Black Phantom

ART

In This piece I tried to illustrate the presence of E-40 on the Oakland Hip-hop scene, as an influential Rapper/Entrepreneur.



I enjoy listening to all sorts of music, including Jazz, Blues and Funk. This picture was meant to be a contrasting album cover for a series of jazz instrumentals that have yet to be released.



I created this art piece to convey the meaning of a flow or a freestyle from an MC. To me, this illustrates everything that goes into a flow and how a microphone acts as an instrument of conversion, capturing thoughts and transforming them into lyrics.

Peace,

Disaster-flavored Ice Cream

What up? So I finally saved up to get a DJ Console and, well, here it is!

DJ Control Mp3 E2
MUSIC

I decided to go with the Hercules DJ Control mp3 (edition 2), which for my price range is not only affordable, but also it contains everything I need to DJ. Well everything except for the computer or Laptop from which I have music playing. Its not only a beginning DJ's best friend but its also fully customizable and portable.

My mixes


Music Reccommendations:

GENRE: Electronic

Bassnectar- Timewarp- Bass Head

Datsik (ft. Flux Pavillion)- Game Over

Deadmau5- Random Album Title- Alone With You

SebastiAn- Ross Ross Ross- Walkman

Booka Shade- Memento- Cha!

ART

I've been doing a lot of drawing lately and one of my favorite things to do with my finished artwork is to scan it and color it in Photoshop. Other times I start in Photoshop and work with filters, renders, blend modes and mostly brushes and pen tool. Here are a few new pieces of art:




This is a spin off of an earlier piece with a similar floating island on the top of it.




I chose the colors to stand out and captivate the viewer, as well as something cool to put on your desktop background.



One of my more eccentric looking smoke islands, demonstrating that it is possible to distort the line between reality and imaginary that exists in Photoshop artwork.

Hungry Hungry Hobos

Hey whats going on? So since my last post (that was 2 months ago!?) a lot has happened. I moved yet again and now I feel that I can finally write a full piece of content for my blog-in-progress. I also made a ton of new art and mixtapes. *EDIT* mixtapes will be released on a later date.

NEW ART:

In this picture I attempted to portray my idea of an alternative reality, from the view of a satellite.









Patterns are interesting to utilize in my Photoshop artwork. Contrasting colors catch the viewer's eye and direct attention to separate parts of the picture.


I started this one from a different size in order to stretch the contrast between yellow, orange and red.

NEW MUSIC:

[Artist- Album- Track]

Genre: Electronic

Benga- Phaze One- Transform

Danger- 9/17/2007 EP- 4h30

The Toxic Avenger- Superheroes EP- Escape ( The Bloody Beetroots Remix)

SebastiAn- Ross Ross Ross- Ross Ross Ross

The Bloody Beetroots- Let Your Washing Machine Speak- Harvest Time


I listen to music when I make art, especially Photoshop Art. Above are a few good examples of music I listen to while I create the art you see on this blog. Thanks for reading!! PEACE!
