iWatch: So You Think You Can Dance
Yesssss this is when summer feels like Christmas =D
I am a dancer as stated in my bio. I don't really speak on dance too much on my blog if you haven't noticed. This is because it's difficult for me to explain my feelings about it and what it does to my soul. This is why I'm a dancer and not a writer.
So of course every Wednesday and Thursday at 8pm I'm in front of my TV watching this amazing show (I hate being disturbed while it's on *message* don't bother me). Now that they've picked the top 20 I will post my favorite pieces from the show.
Here we go:
Top 10 Boys piece. Choreographed by Christopher Scott
loved the choreo it was pretty sharp but the execution wasn't as sharp =/
Top 10 Girls piece. Choreographed by Sonya Teyah
The girls win lol =D
Top 20 Group piece: Choreographed by Tyce Diorio (old school Janet dancer/choreographer (-;)
did yall see Ricky at 1:50 kick that piece of cloth out of the way lol. He had better before someone slipped and died (professional)

iWatch: Docs
Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest
This trailer solidifies that it will come out. I was worried for a minute
Dark Girls
I still get the "you're so pretty for a dark skinned girl". Happy for the loud awareness. I hope this helps our community to unhook these slave chains. We must first be aware.

There's a gentle autumn breeze
That blows whenever we be lyin'
Lyin' in my bed
The moon appears and disappears
U look at me, my clothes I quickly
I quickly shed
The curtains dance a minuet
Autumn plays the music baby
Come on hold my hand
Leaves are fallin' velvet splash
Only u and I can under
Only u can understand
The sunlight draws a picture
Through the silky lace that hangs above your
Hangs above your door
A picture that is waving
That is seems to be with every thrust
U make me beg for more
A robin sings a masterpiece
That lives and dies unheard
For screams of passion
A sound produced by two in love (oh, two in love)
Curtains dance and autumn plays on (and on and on)
The screams of passion
All I hear in my [head/hair]
Echoing like a volcano baby
The screams of passion
Back and forth the raging seas of lust
I want u madly
Can't u tell, can't u tell
Can't u tell, can't u tell, Ow!
Take me in your arms, oh baby
The crime is done
I'd rather die here in your
Screams of passion (Woah, hold me now, baby)
Tell me that u [want/love] me (tell me that u [want/love] me)
Is it Sunday or is it passion?
The screams of passion (the screams of passion, yeah)
The screams of... the screams of...
The screams of passion (passion)
Yeah! (shhh, not so loud, baby)
Yeah! (shhh, shhh)
The screams of passion
The screams of passion
The screams of passion
The screams of... the screams of...
The screams of passion
The screams of passion
Back and forth the raging seas of lust
Raging, raging (the screams of passion)
U know I want u madly, baby
Why can't u tell?
Is it Sunday?
I thought I heard a churchbell (or was it passion?)
Passion (Yeah, yeah)
Passion

Captured: Darryl "13" Bennett
This month our captured artist is Mr. Darryl "13" Bennett a Washington DC native with blessed hands.
He was kind enough to let me pick his brain on his work so listen up:
He was kind enough to let me pick his brain on his work so listen up:
What's you artistic outlook on life?
Nothing is written in stone, if your doing something in life that your not happy with never be afraid to start over or alter the original plan. Life's too good to just be going through the motions.
What's your favorite most inspirational place?
Right now I have to say Atlanta, GA, I took a trip down there a few years back for the grand opening of a popular tattoo shop/art gallery and I loved the creative energy Atlanta has to offer. I wouldn't mind checking out the west-coast, a lot of my favorite artist are over their.

Do you have a favorite piece from your collection of work?
Its between these sneaker I painted for my home-girl called "TokyoThirteen Breezies" and a painting entitles "Shine". The sneakers were cool cause of the color, I didn't want to do too much so I just painted some blossom petals on the mesh panels. The shine painting because of the feel that she remains calm and strong even when things are dark and people try to pull you down.
What's your most popular piece?
I get a great reply back when I paint my Tokyo girls, females tend to relate to the facial expression on the girls face or the situation. Ill see comments like "She is so pretty" or "She looks so sad but strong", I let people see what they see.
What is the message behind your work or does it vary from piece to piece?
Life is what you make of it, I have a painting of a female headless but she has a look on her face that said "It was my choice".
What has helped to shape your artistic expression?
Working at a tattoo shop (Pinz-n-Needlez Tattoo), I got to meet a lot of other awesome artist that I might not have had to chance meet otherwise. I learned a lot of techniques and art business, it also taught me how much I didn't know about myself as an artist. One of the artist at the shop (Yasin R.I.P), put me on to art magazines like Juxtapoz, Hi Fructose and other artist I knew nothing about. He always got me into watercolors.
As an artist do you believe creativity is innate?
I think so, everybody cant think outside the box or be able to build something from nothing..that true creativity, you have to be born with it!
What goals do you have for your work?
I'm really into branding these days..I like to see my art outside of a canvas, I've done T-shirts, sneakers, I'm currently doing hand painted earrings, I'm working with video and want to do some films. My ultimate goal would be to inspire others and live off of my art.

Darryl is currently a contributor to Stamp Magazine Online and has been the artist feature in art culture blogs and mine lol. In 2007, Darryl Bennett created TokyoThirteen Arts. ToykoThirteen Arts is a creative concept that produces t-shirts, photography, paintings and short films. In 2011, Darryl released his first line of t-shirts for TokyoThirteen Propaganda, a division of TokyoThirteen Arts. The basic principle behind Darryl’s art is that there is no good or bad, right or wrong; limits are to be pushed and there’s always a need for new, weird, and better.
