Technology & Humanity

I work with computers every day.  I have a PC at work, an iMac at home, and a macbook that I use both at work and home.  When I go home, I use my computer to either paint digitally so I can further improve my skills, or work on personal projects that may or may not change my career in a big way in the future.  Still failing on that latter point mind you, but the point remains that I use computers quite a bit.

I realize people use their tablets, computers and especially cellphones everywhere they go.  It seems the technological items that can bring us together take us further apart.  I go to lunch with some of my co-workers and at times they're all looking down at their cellphones.  It's probably because of how bored they are talking with me, but that's besides the point. 

I just mentioned that I use computers exessively, but I try to minimize it when I can.  I never buy ebooks, I prefer looking away from a computer if I am reading a book.  I use my cellphone sparingly though I imagine I am an exception in North America in this regard.  This video greatly illustrates how important technology is and some negative effects it has on society.  I was in 5 different countries in Europe over a month ago and noone used cellphones like people in Canada and America do.

Also stop taking pictures of your food everyday and posting it online.  No one gives a shit. :)

Jerry Seinfeld Hilarious Speech on the Clio Awards Ceremony

Jerry Seinfeld has given a hilarious design speech when he won the Clio award. I love design, but this was hysterical how on point he was for everything. Be careful when you give a comic an award when he's already won everything and doesn't give a shit, you might not like their reaction.

Speed Painting 28: Supernatural

With season 10 of Supernatural coming out in October, my sister suggested I illustrate one of my favorite TV shows of all time.  Same & Dean have been through hell their entire lives, especially once the series picks up.  The episode where they go to jail was used as inspiration for my entire speed painting.

I decided to put them both next to one another making poses.  Dean is being silly, and I add a bit of intensity to Sam, especially with the whole Lucifer arc that revolved around him.  Dean is wearing black, and Sam is wearing white, though with those eyes looks can be deceiving.  None of my previous 27 speed paintings have a song that fits the illustration/topic lyrically as well as this one does, so make sure to pay attention to the lyrics.  Enjoy.
