CHRISTY JASIONKOWSKI

currently earning her BA in visual communications at seattle pacific university, she is a self proclaimed "student/artist/designer/person" (which i must confess i fit the description as do perhaps 75% of all my friends and acquaintances..)

she has the cutest etsy prints for sale and the cutest etsy store name "paper cuts and coffee huts"

i will always applaud student/artist/designer/persons because i have to support my kind. we're not that rare of a breed, but it's always encouraging to know someone likes your work.

what did we watch: UP

UP

this past sunday, may 31, i and some 20 other people went to watch UP, the latest pixar/disney movie released and it was amazing. spectacular. phenomenal. etc. to begin with, the art was breath taking. so much effort, time, thought, consideration of every tiny detail and composition was put into the making of this 96 minute film. i loved the textures, the rich bright colors, the vast panoramic views used and the often fantastical imagery. pixar hit this one exactly right with the level and balance of realism and fantasy as well. your imagination is stretched, the world is not quite your world - but it's still realistic in the sense that you don't feel the movie tries to hard to make things "work" (ok some peole say the aviator dogs...but i'll overlook that in light of how well the rest is in sync). and the plot is great, even if it isn't action packed thriller or suspenseful mystery - it is partially those things and partially comedy, drama, and both a child suitable and adult film. the best thing about films are layers of interpretation and layers of depth and UP definitely fulfils both life lessons and a realistic portrayal of the course of life, human emotions and human behavior. the characters are perfectly composed, jokes are well made, and i love a movie that gets all the movie goers talking about it afterwards.

i could watch it again and again.

what did we ASPIRE: ED NACIONAL

ED NACIONAL

found these images and link originally on szymon tumblr which led to the artist's gallery webpage for tiepography and then went on to click about the artist and learned that ed nacional just graduated from parsons the new school for design this past spring. which i found very cool because i was initially drawn to the quality and creativity of this typography work and wanted to write a post on it and only then did i discover that the artist hails from my school. it reaffirms something about how much i love parsons and what the next three years my hold for me. here's what he says about himself.

"I enjoy working with both the technological elements of design like building and designing interactive websites, as well as more handmade forms such as screen-printing, illustration and collage. I try to stick my nose in as many creative areas I can and am currently learning to sew and always trying to improve my photography skills. A few things i can’t live without are type, grids, flea markets, stoop sales, book stores, mixtapes and good food..."

which is definitely a description i would like to say on the whole fits myself as well.
