Spring Awakening

TV spot

A sampling of the broadway faire,I think there's an age requirement though,some nudity and sexual content.

I might have to come up sooner for a day trip, the soundtrack and these videos have me revved up to see it.

 

[NDX]

Damn. Near 200,000 NYers have diabetes and don't know it (as reported by the CW11 morning news, I missed the source they sited). Half the NY Asian population either has diabetes or is in trouble of getting it.

****, I should go to a doctor.

 

[Abaddon]

Isn't it prevalent among Hispanics as well



on another note, the whole school bus confusion is ridiculous.

 

[hey yo its sean]

So.. It's pretty ****ing cold, eh?

 

[Abaddon]

Yes, and I don't like Mike Woods.

 

[El ASESINO]

I can't stan Good Day New York
I miss Jim Ryan and Lynn Brown

 

[GunBlade]

I'm gonna come up there one of these days. I need a good excuse to. My hand hurts from gripping cold steering wheel.

 

[GunBlade]

Oh yeah, couldn't care less about superbowl. **** the colts.

 

[NDX]

I didn't hear anything about that. I should do more research on this since it's pretty common in my family.

Hmm... Wilford Brimley diabetes spoof commerical in Family Guy. Not that funny.

on another note, the whole school bus confusion is ridiculous.

It's sad.

So.. It's pretty ****ing cold, eh?

It's only going to get colder.

 

[Mike059jig]

Freaking Freez'n outside......

 

[NDX]

This really has been a lacking winter for me. I have a few projects I want to work on and I can't well spraypaint in my apartment.

 

[Abaddon]

It's the wind that's the real *****.


and yeah, I didn't watch the 'bowl either.

 

[Won '08]

Cold isn't even the word right now.

Hell Frozen Over would be the proper term.

 

[NDX]

It should be less windy tomorrow. And I hope they get the temp. right on Friday because I'll most likely be outdoors that day.

 

[Won '08]

I'm not going outside unless it's to cop a bag of trees

a little old but

Total prevalence of diabetes by race/ethnicity among people aged 20 years or older, United States, 2002

Non-Hispanic whites: 12.5 million; 8.4% of all non-Hispanic whites aged twenty years or older have diabetes.

Non-Hispanic blacks: 2.7 million; 11.4% of all non-Hispanic blacks aged twenty years or older have diabetes. On average, non-Hispanic blacks are 1.6 times as likely to have diabetes than non-Hispanic whites of similar age.

Hispanic/Latino Americans: 2.0 million; 8.2% of all Hispanic/Latino Americans aged twenty years or older have diabetes. On average, Hispanic/Latino Americans are 1.5 times more likely to have diabetes than non-Hispanic whites of similar age. Mexican Americans, the largest Hispanic/Latino subgroup, are over twice as likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites of similar age. Similarly, residents of Puerto Rico are 1.8 times more likely to have diagnosed diabetes than U.S. non-Hispanic whites. Sufficient data are not available to derive more specific current estimates for other Hispanic/Latino groups.

American Indians and Alaska Natives who receive care from the Indian Health Service (IHS): 110,814; 14.9% of American Indians and Alaska Natives aged 20 years or older and receiving care from IHS have diabetes. At the regional level, diabetes is least common among Alaska Natives (8.2%) and most common among American Indians in the southeastern United States (27.8%) and southern Arizona (27.8%). On average, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 2.2 times as likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites of similar age.

Asian Americans and Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islanders: In 2002, Native Hawaiians and Japanese and Filipino residents of Hawaii aged twenty years or older were approximately 2 times as likely to have diagnosed diabetes as white residents of Hawaii of similar age. Prevalence data for diabetes among other Pacific Islanders or Asian Americans are limited, but some groups within these populations are at increased risk for diabetes.

Thanks for the info.

I was just watching the news and it looks like it's starting to snow lightly in Manhattan.

Another day to paint wasted. Guess there's always the weekend.

 

[Abaddon]

You should post some of your art.

I can't stand Good Day New York

I haven't been to the fanart forum in a long while outside of the current Ghost Rider contest thread. I occassionally post some Ghost Rider fanart in their thread, and that's about it. If people really wanted to look at my art, it's linked in my signature.

And it surpassed cold. Did the laundry today. Didn't help that I was idiotic enough to take photos around the Laundromat in 17 degreee temp.

 

[Abaddon]

Yeah, I don't want to do all that. Post some of your paintings here.


Also, have you always been interested in art? Is art part of a profession for you, or just a hobby? Which famous artists inspire you?

 

[NDX]

To save on bandwidth, I'll just post links to a small handfull of the images I am quite proud of.

I'm more of an illustrator than anything else, dealing with comic characters and whatnot. I don't paint often (and I don't have any online due to still being pretty bad at it). I tend to use watercolors on some of my illustrations, though. When it comes to spray painting, I usually create abstract works using other pieces of paper as stencils on it. I've longed to work on them again recently, but the weather hasn't permitted.

I've been drawing since elementary school, enjoyed it greatly through highschool, but only started taking it seriously in college, finally working in several different mediums (paint, sculpture, printmaking, photography, etc.). My goal was to become a highschool art teacher, but due to being a total ****up that didn't happen.

There are too many that inspire me, but from a selection, Javier Saltares, Mark Texeira, Cory Arcangel, Salvador Dali, Piet Mondrian, Liam Sharp, and Merzbow (musically).

Here is something I did, the lines are done in pencil and ink, and I digitally colored it, my first full digital coloring with my recently purchased tablet, a 11 hour contest entry:

A mixed media landscape I designed for a contest on another forum:

BUNNY! Also for a contest:

Oddly enough, another contest entry, movie parody:
http://gallery.bezerker.org/The-Art-Goes-Here/Oct07_02_Poster_2

NOT a contest entry, and a closeup of a spray painting I did:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/34207443/

All the work I linked on the gallery.bezerker.org page are all on the Deviant Art page as well. Visit both links in my signature, since each have works exclusive to each site going back to 2005.

You know, I never really gave that much of a bio before.

 

[Abaddon]

You sure? You laid that all out much better than I expected.

Also, in the lower left hand side of the pic in your second link, that funny little thing that looks like a crude man-sketch thingy reminded me of a penis.

You might want to seek therapy for that then.
