Interstella 5555

One of my housemates loves to have music videos on instead of just the music, so I’ve been seeing some really cool videos recently. One of the most amazing, though, was Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, a film to the music of Daft Punk’s 2001 album, Discovery. At first, I was…

When the World Needed Him Most

This is yet another post about what I’ve been up to in the quarantine, but this time it is centered around one of my favorite shows of all time. I started watching Avatar: The Last Airbender when it first came to Nickelodeon in 2005. I was drawn in by the fantastical world the showrunners created…

Nostalgic Animation

I’ve been watching a lot of horror movies lately. It’s easily one of my favorite genres, but it can also get somewhat tiring. So me and my housemates have been watching a lot of Disney and Pixar lately. The humor is refreshing, stories are entertaining, and the animation is always incredible. The drawing is simple…

Passing the Time

The past few weeks we have been finding new ways to entertain ourselves. We never really played video games in our house before this, but since we finally have access we’ve been having a lot of fun with it. One of the new favorites is Rocket League, which I barely remember hearing about before quarantine,…

Behind the Scenes

I love TV and movies. I always have. I think it is a combination of both realistic and outlandish stories with and entrance into the mind of another person. Watching behind the scenes footage is usually just as interesting, if not more, as the story being told. It is absolutely incredible the amount of work…

When I’m Bored

First, it’s really too bad that I won’t get to have class with you all again. I had a great time learning about something new and exciting to me. Since I’ve had a bunch of time on my hands, I’ve been watching enough Youtube to last me a year. I love TV and movies, so…

The Little Ghosts That Never Die

Today, March 1, marks the beginning of New York’s ban on plastic grocery bags. While there are some exceptions, this is a huge feat for the sustainability movement and fight against pollution. I thought this was a really cool article because it included one artist’s collection of all the plastic bags he has found over…

New Orleans: More than crawfish and jazz

Since Mardi Gras is coming up, I decided to do this week’s post on the street art in New Orleans. I don’t think New Orleans is really known for its street art, but it should be. The streets in every neighborhood are covered in colorful depictions of local heroes and cultural phenoms like Allen Toussaint,…

Less Gold but Still Golden

Warner Bros. has recently refreshed their logo to appeal to the younger generation. While the new logo is significantly different, with only a sleek blue and white design, it is still instantly recognizable as the WB brand. Design agency, Pentagram, decided to get rid of the bulky gold outline and actually took inspiration from the…

The Beauty of Neural Art

I never got to go to this exhibit while it was on display at the Franklin Institute, but I just rediscovered it looking for something that checked both boxes of art and psychology (my major). I have a great appreciation for the complexity of the brain, and for these artists/neuroscientists to capture it in such…
