marilyn prints

Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a key figure in Pop Art, an art movement that emerged in America and elsewhere in the 1950s to become prominent over the next two decades.

The Fauves used non-representational color and representational form to convey different sensations. Apply the same idea to the portrait of Marilyn Monroe below, using the controls to adjust the colors. How does the color affect the mood?

the vulture gallows lyrics

When you work for the father
Your sin is never saved
You carry the net,
and he holds the spade.
You will drag the lakes
And he will rob the graves.
You will be remembered.
No-one will speak your name.

Live by the sword.
Die for the lord.
Call down the vulture
To dine on the corpse.

Cursed are the places you have been,
You lead us there and forced us in..
Take the girls
to become the daughters.
If the horses wont drink
drown them in the water.

When you work for the father
Your sin is never saved
You carry the net,
and he holds the spade.
You will drag the lakes
And he will rob the graves.
You will be remembered.
No-one will speak your name.

Live by the sword.
Die for the lord.
Call down the vultures
To dine on the corpse.

Cursed are the places you have been,
You lead us there and forced us in..
Take the girls
to become the daughters.
If the horses wont drink
drown them in the water

Enter shikari lyrics.

Help!
the air turns black, the birds drop from the sky.
This eagle has landed,
I'm choking on your pride

And the walls are closing in,
And you don't appreciate that in my hands tonight, is where your fate lies
Her face drains...

[Stand] Stand up, take a bow you have, no reason to celebrate
[You're] You're lost in a labyrinth, scream now it's not too late...

Help!
the air turns black, the birds drop from the sky.
This eagle has landed,
I'm choking on your pride

And the walls are closing in,
And you don't appreciate that in my hands tonight, is where your fate lies
Her face drains...

[Stand] Stand up, take a bow you have, no reason to celebrate
[You're] You're lost in a labyrinth, scream now it's not too late...

Nothing seems to break the walls down, break the walls, down...
Nothing seems to break the walls down, break the walls, down...

We'll break the walls!
We'll break the walls!
We'll break the walls, down!

We'll break the walls!
We'll break the walls!
We'll break the walls, down!

[Well it looks like the end is nigh for our friends here, he's finding it hard to keep his head, especially with all these girls SCREEEAMING in his ear. We've got to ask ourselves do they deserve this? If anyone has anything to sa let them speak now or forever hold their peace.]

Yeah, stand! Will he make it out?
Hope he makes it out!
He's gonna make it out!
He's gotta make it out!

[Stand] Stand up!

[You're] You're lost!

In a labyrinth!

I find this artists brush technique to be quite incredible, It almost looks like burn marks.

francis bacon


I'm not to fond this kind of work, it's interesting. the brush tones and techniques this artist used is quite nice and how the color of the person and the color of the backgrounds relate to each other. The face on the man is an interesting on, it's quite abstract.

charles camoin


I love how this artist did the water, how he used tones and simple shapes to reflect the ships onto the water.

This artist has quite a cartoony style. this relates to me because i tend to draw quite alot of cartoony style drawings since i find drawing things to exact detail difficult.

Godspeed you black emperor " dead flag blues"

The car is on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows

The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death

The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

It went like this:

The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies
Picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair

The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful -
These are truly the last days"

You grabbed my hand
And we fell into it
Like a daydream
Or a fever

We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it's the valley of death

I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood

pj harvey "down by the water lyrics"

I lost my heart under the bridge
That little girl
So much to me
And now I moan, and now I holler
She'll never know just what I found
That blue-eyed girl she said no more
And that blue-eyed girl became blue -eyed whore
Down by the water I took her hand
Just like my daughter
See her again

Oh, help me Jesus come through this storm
I had to lose her to do her harm
I heard her holler, I heard her moan
My lovely daughter
I took her home

Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water
Come back here, man, give me my daughter
Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water
Come back here, man, give me my daughter
