Wayne Rooney

01/30/2009

This is a sharpie drawing of English Footballer Wayne Rooney of Manchester United. For the most part, I dislike Manchester United, for I am an Arsenal FC fan. I do, however, like a few players that play for Man U. Rooney is one of them. I figured I’d put this up while Man U is on a hot streak.

I finished this painting in March of 2008. It is titled “Human construction, adaptation, and nature’s inevitable rejection of man-made objects.” Inspirations include Google Earth, major cities in the U.S. and around the world, and flying in airplanes. Materials include acrylic and sharpie.

Radiohead is always ahead of the curve. They use their albums, live performances, and music videos as a vessel to stretch the boundaries of modern music. This is Radiohead’s new music video “House of Cards”.

This is a “making-of” video.

Here is a video of Radiohead live in Manchester in 2008. I saw them at Lollapalooza 08 and it was quite anĀ  overstimulating spectacle. The above video is of 2+2=5 and Idioteque, the one below is of Paranoid Android.

This one is actually from Lollapalooza. Soldier Field has a family camp out night and were shooting off fireworks. Soldier Field happened to be directly behind the stage Radiohead was playing on. At about 6:30, the peak of the fireworks match the peak of “Fake Plastic Trees”. That was definitely one of those unplanned, “had-to-be-there” moments.
