ART348: scenery thumbnailz

I feel I need to mention I straight ripped a few of these ideas from the artistic genius Zdzislaw Beksinski (don't ask me to pronounce his first name haha) and I suggest anyone who likes neat stuff to visit his site: http://www.beksinski.pl/ and make sure to turn up the sound 'cuz the theme music is sheer ambient brilliance! Obviously he puts my crappy thumbnails to shame, but you get the idea ;p




side note: I hate that this is unfinished, but my body is infested with sicky-germs and they don't like it when I do things :c this is also the reason I won't be attending class today. SUPER triste :cc

Reflection (so far):
Before I got infected with throat nasties, I had a joyous time hanging out with friends at a super bowl celebration. The best part was that none of us gave two shits about football! We just used it as an excuse to hang out, get wasted, and eat unhealthy food! We started our adventure at the infamous Beau Club, then migrated to a bar/restaurant I'd never been to (although many Ashlanders probably have) called Tease. The place left a great impression on me, but I think this was because I was there under irregular circumstances. One of my friend's friends works there as a cook and it just so happened Sunday is their slowest night, so besides our group, the place was dead. This killer combination meant we basically had a private party setting with free food and half-priced drinks. That alone made Tease golden, but besides the rosy-cheeked, alcohol-induced feelings, the decor and lighting had me feeling some good vibes as well. I love the ambiance of a dimly lit space with red walls, such as the interior of Tease. It gives me a warm, laid-back feeling. However, I feel the "life drawing" artwork and almost-hip music were trying a little to hard to say, "Look! Even though this bar is owned by an older generation, we can still be just as cool as the young'ns! PLEASE spend lots of money here-it's worth it for the artsy, pretentious atmosphere!" It's alright, though. On slow nights with offerings of free chicken wings, I'd probably continue to rate Tease 10 out of 10.
