Ozabu

     Ozabu is an artist who draws soft and smooth drawings that are related to Japanese extracts with mechanical pencil. Ozabu's drawings are usually very light and soft. Just like Dimitra Milan, Ozabu's passion for arts was big influence by her parents. However, as a self-taught artist, Ozabu did not use any reference books nor does any research on what the other artists use to draw and such. Instead, Ozabu would see a piece in person and analyze it, teaching herself the technique and trying out different tools until she understands how the piece was created.      I have realized that Ozabu often draws gory drawings, some of them even reminded me of "death" even though her drawings are very beautiful. According to the interview, Ozabu's inspirations often come from her feelings and experiences, and she experienced death of someone important in her life. Therefore, her drawings included some funeral elements as they are gre...

Dimitra Milan

     DImitra Milan is a 16-year-old girl whose whimsical and surreal artwork reflects a dreamy world where anything is possible. In my opinion, her artworks are very feminine and fantasy. Women, animals, nature and music seem to be part of her paintings. However, what amazed me the most is that she managed to develop her own unique style after she started painting for only 4 years. This shows her love and appreciation for painting is real.      According to the interview with Dimitra Milan, it is told that her parents are established artists as well, and she was raised to have appreciation for art. She loves animal, she has animal pets such as horse, dairy goat and such. She confessed that she really feels like she is living the dream and feel blessed everyday. Dimitra Milan also mentioned that the most important advice that her parents gave her was :" You don't always have to be in a mood to paint. You just paint. Everyday, for ei...

Your Name (君の名は / Kimi no Na wa): trailer

Assignment 1      Our assignment 1 is to watch a movie, do research on it and write about it, then based on the art movements and the story of the movie, create another story thus produce the final video on YouTube. I chose to write Kimi No Na Wa as it was a fantastic Japanese movie that managed to be a hit. Kimi No Na Wa, is a mix of emotions, a fantasy romance film with interesting contents that keep the movie to be refreshing all the way to the end. This movie also contained plot twist that keeps the audience wondering to get the right answer.      Kimi No Na Wa has included few art movements such as post-modernism and dadaism, Post-modernism is a broad movement that involves 20th century like philosophy, architecture, art, and the rest, which is very obvious in this movie. Besides, dadaism is an art movement that shows avant-garde. It could mean plot twist, disagreement between the characters like the heroine(Mistsuha) and her father. Dadaism ...

The Crooked Man

     "There was a crooked man ; And he walked a crooked mile         He found a crooked sixpence ; Upon a crooked stile          He bought a crooked cat ; Which caught a crooked mouse          And they all lived together ; In a crooked little house "      The Crooked Man , is another pixel horror game that I am interested in. The game itself starts with a boy named David moving into a new room in apartment with the help of his two buddies, named Paul and Marion. Although the apartment room seems to be old, David is grateful for Paul to look for a room for him to live in. Things then started to become weird in David's new room, water started running by itself in the bathroom, words appearing on the bathroom mirror, finding a scrap of paper under the bed, hearing a man's crying voice at night and such. David did not give much thought to it at firs , and he went t...
Exciting Photo Illusions        Photo illusions, whether they are taken by coincidence or intentionally, they are  beautiful photos that makes people wonder and laugh. Some of the photos can be silly but that's what makes them fun to look at. The photo in above is my favorite piece of all. As in this photo, an illusion of a face can be seen even though there are various kinds of things around in the photo such as wine bottles, glass, black cloth, plates and the rest. These things managed to form into the illusion due to the color and the basic shapes of theirs.      In my opinion, there are many other ways to take a photo that creates illusions such as using the sense of distance, positions, overlapping and such. There are more photo illusions in the below that can make you go mind blowing, please enjoy! ...
