Drunken Art Reviews

When we're bored well throw Mr. Rich a bunch of paintings and stuff from the Juxtapoz website and see what he thinks. He gets no information on the artist or any context, just images. Here's our staff drunk talking contemporary art.

 

 

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!  ITS’S CHRISMAHANNAKWANZA EVERYBODY!  

And you noel what that means.  Shit is about to get craaaaaaaazy.  My master sends me these, supposed, beautiful pieces of art and I let you know just how ass-farty they really are……....so let’s do it.

Blurry photo of UFOs lives in my back

I want to superimpose a lion or tiger about to devour this woman for being in another piece of crap.  At least then there’d be something interesting going on.  She’s probably the same naked chick that has been in all the other naked chick artwork that keeps vomiting itself out of the current shitty art wheel that is, “hipsters trying too hard”.  Why isn’t the back of her head painted?  She didn’t want to get ketchup in her hair.  What’s the matter with this photo?  It’s trying too hard and it’s been done before.  Better.  By Pink Floyd.  More chicks, better art on there backs, and lot’s of cocaine.  I think there was cocaine, so yeah.

Skull-helmet or not

There is a story here.  Which one, I’m not sure.  That skull could be a helmet.  Maybe they were getting married and a hidden assassin hit her in the neck with a dart and he’s like, “Noooooooooo!  Mi Amor!”.  Or he’s just just a dinosaur-head dude and there was a huge battle and he just made it to the throne room and now he’s going to eat her brains.

Yogurt rope antlers

Yes!  This something I would have blown up to 80”x80” and it would hit you right in the face as you walked through my front door.  I do believe he has a peace sign tattooed next to his left eye, or mercedes logo.  Either way, he’s seems like an upbeat fellow.  He has the Christmas spirit and he is ready to party for sure.  And not just anybody is willing to let a whole group of people ejaculate on their special antlers.

Best way to eat soup ever

This is what I’m gonna look like in a year.  You just wait.  No more bowls for me.  How do you eat your food?  With your hands?  Pfhh.  Tons of condescending snerfs at everyone will be had.  Look how peaceful he is.  Probably just got done having some new england clam chowder in a beard bowl and is ready for a siesta.  Or he’s nursing orphaned baby birds back to health.

You are what you eat

It’s so weird that everyone always draws cartoons with 4 fingers.  I got money that that is Darth Vader on the right side.  But, anyway, why not come on over and hang out with Mr. Pizza Face.  “Wanna hit this joint?  Wanna lick my popsicle?  I’m a pretty cool guy except for the fact that I lack eyebrow plucking skills, but hey.”  And then as you get closer because you’re about to hit that joint you notice his lips start quivering.  His lips extend outward.  His upper lip, up and over his head and his lower lip down and around his his feet.  His lips engulf his own body and as they do so, the opening that was his mouth becomes the head of a giant red spined lizard-like creature.  He grabs your entire body in his right hand and as he does so he calls you a sucker in a low demonic voice before biting your head off.  Once inside his stomach, you wonder why you’re not dead.  The rest of your body joins you seconds later.  A face forms on the lining of the creatures stomach that looks similar to Ray Charles and begins to talk.  He says that this creature’s body has the ability to suspend the life of whatever it is digesting in order to fully absorb its soul as well as its nutrients, which is a process that takes 10 years.  He then asks you if you want to play a game of Uno.  You ponder to yourself, whether or not you fed your cat.

Now that I’m done laughing like Butthead from Beavis and Butthead…  Can’t say I didn’t look at this for a while.  Is that Anna Nicole Smith?  I don’t know why but this makes me want to go play Saints Row 3 and run around hitting pedestrians with a dildo.

Can’t say I mind my job right now.  I think I gotta, you know, take a break from typing for a second.

Woah

“Hey guys, you want go visit Timothy Leary’s house?”  Please don’t lock me in this room if I’m on acid or mushrooms.  I don’t think I’d be able to find way out, ever.  There you go, turn the house into a maze for trippers.  You get to the end, you get spayed in the face with Hershey’s syrup and then you go back out into Burning Man.  

You guys go through the rainbow house?

Yeah, it was magical.

I felt like Dave at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Yeah, I like the part where I got sprayed in the face.

    Me too. :)

Boring

Good contrast.  Deep thoughts.  He mumbled to himself derisively.  Who cares about some fucking camels next to a fire.  Big fucking deal.  It happens all the time over there.  Things are constantly blowing up and getting lit on fire.  It’s common place.  Even the camels know this and have adjusted.  It doesn’t look like they’re too worried.  Yup, another giant fire, they say to themselves.  And I know it happens, so I don’t give a hoot about whether you think it makes for good photographs.  Sigh.

I’ve been given the ok to bash graffiti by the boss upstairs, so here we go.  Is this on the side of a car repair shop because it looks like an advertisement for motor oil.  Why are there 3 names under this piece?  Did you all work on it, you lazy stoners.  Or are you just so in love with each other that you write each others names under every tag you do?  If you guys made your names a little more legible, you might actually make some money some day.  Good one, he said to himself.

Who dat

Is that the Cosby’s or something?  That show is pretty old.  I can’t imagine why anyone would want to buy this.  I watched that shit when I was 5.  Isn’t he molesting chicks now?  When did Bill get a tattoo like Mike Tyson.  Are they friends now?  This is so confusing.  He’s got an anarchy symbol and a peace symbol on his face.  Which is it?  Which do you want Bill?!  Peace?  Or Anarchy?

It’s kinda what my dumps look like after eating a lot of shrimp

Hey man, you wanna try this new drug?

    What’s it called?

Stem.

    What’s it do?

It makes you feel like a super-human.

    Is there any come down?

You see babies everywhere.

    That’s it?

What’s the message here?  I get it.  We can put a baby in you like that.  Why not.  If you have trouble getting the D you gotta do what you gotta do.  Just don’t inject me with, thank you.




Alright folks, that's a wrap.  I hope you have a beautiful end to your year and get muy schlitterbahn’d for new years.  Don’t make a new years resolution ‘cuz you won’t keep it and try not to get arrested.  Later.

THRIFT SHOP TECH REVIEW: APPLE IPHONE 4S by Ignatius J. Really

THRIFT SHOP TECH REVIEW: APPLE IPHONE 4S by Ignatius J. Really

I didn't feel like going to Goodwill this week. Take that, Kill Pretty.

I did, however, finally get an iPhone. It's a 4s, let's not get ahead of ourselves, but it is a step in the right direction. Or so I'm told. It's not exactly an old, vintage piece of technology, but all you teeny-bopper Beliebers might say so, since they're on the iPhone 1,476 by now.

Man Sentenced to Prison for Punching Hole in £10 Million Monet Painting

monet-painting-punched-kill-pretty-graffiti-magazine.jpg

In what is hopefully the epilogue to an incident that happened two years ago, a man has been sentenced to five years in prison for punching a hole in a painting by famed French impressionist artist Claude Monet. Displayed in the National Gallery of Ireland, the £10 million piece titled Argenteuil Basin with a Single Sailboat was attacked by the 49-year-old man when he drove his fist through the left side of the painting. He initially explained his motive as “getting back at the state” but changed his story during the trial, saying that it happened when he felt faint and fell into the artwork. After reviewing CCTV footage, it was decided that it indeed was an intentional attack. The man will also be banned from visiting any galleries for 15 months after his jail sentence.

I fucking hate ordering fast food.

I’m pretty sure I’ve never got an order correct. EVER!!!!!!!! I have lived here my entire life and that’s a long time for them to get my McChicken “plain” down. No mayo, no lettuce. Fuck you.

I just went to Burger King and got a 10 piece McNugget…..sorry, regular nugget and asked for sweet and sour sauce and they gave me two honey-mustards. GOD. FUCKING. DAMMIT!!!! You stupid motherfuckers. Do you know how much I hate honey-mustard? You must be doing this shit on fucking purpose because you execute it so perfectly. It’d be different if I got an extra milkshake or the coveted curly fry among the regs. But no. You leave out a taco or give me FUCKING HONEY-MUSTARD!!!!!

I know what you’re thinking. I like honey-mustard. Fuck you. I hate it. I hate ranch too. Regular honey, ketchup, barbeque, sweet and sour! That’s how I role. Fuck ranch. And why can’t I walk through the drive-thru?  You think you’re better than me cuz you have a car?! Every fucking time they leave something out. And I’m too fucking stoned or drunk and I sit on it and say, “Oh well, this is the norm.”.  And fuck, it is the norm. I want my fucking order to be correct for once.

This is horseshit.

 

Graffiti Writer Killed by Cops - DEMZ RIP

A Miami graffiti artist who was struck by a police car after he was caught tagging a building has died, police said.

Delbert Gutierrez, 21, died at Jackson Memorial Hospital Tuesday night, police said."This was a tragic car accident which has left both families devastated," Miami Police said in a statement Wednesday. "The Miami Police Department offers our condolences and prayers."

Gutierrez, who goes by the name "Demz," was caught tagging a building at Northwest 5th Avenue and 24th Street on Dec. 5, police said. Police said that once he saw flashing lights, Rodriguez ran.

When an officer turned the corner in his unmarked car, Rodriguez jumped out from between two vehicles and was struck, police said. He was taken to Jackson in critical condition with a brain injury.

Police said the car was traveling less than 15 mph when it struck Gutierrez.

Gutierrez's mother blasted the police saying Chief Manuel Orosa called the incident an accident before the speed of the car had been deterined. She texted NBC 6's Angela Pellerano saying, "Orosa hasn't had a problem in talking to the media. However, he has not found the time to give us, the family, a call or come to us in person at Jackson."

Javier Ortiz, president of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police, issued a statement Wednesday saying they are waiting for the outcome of the investigation.

"No matter how this incident transpired, the focus must be that a life was lost and we must keep his family in prayer throughout this difficult time," Ortiz said.

Gutierrez is the second South Florida graffiti artist to die in the last two years. Israel "Reefa" Hernandez, was killed after a Miami Beach Police officer shocked him with a taser after he was caught tagging a building in August 2013.

The Best Friend You Ever Had - Weed Delivery In New York By Jon Benito

The Best Friend You Ever Had - Weed Delivery In New York By Jon Benito

Five years ago I met this guy at this loft party in Brooklyn. It was July 1st and I had literally just gotten off the plane from Florida. I spent the month of June following every Pride week between Orlando and South Beach, and ended the parade with a week long music conference of the EDM variety. It was the kind of month where everyone talked about snow, but it never snowed. He had over heard me talking about my adventure in South Beach, which ended with this methed out dude in pink denim daisy dukes, a wife beater, and just socks, no shoes, following me down  A1A grabbing his junk.

We began talking, exchanging stories, until he decided to open his bag and pulled out a rather large ziploc bag full of jewel cases packed with herb. He handed me a business card and said, "I work for Jack, and don't ask me who Jack is 'cuz I know jack shit."  Apparently, he worked for one of those delightful delivery services. The kind where you call a number within the five boros of New York City, and an angry man picks up the phone. He demands your name and address and says thirty minutes. Then just like that, two or three hours later a guy is in your apartment pulling out various strains of cannabis to choose from at a premium price. Very illegal, which makes it very convenient. You don't have to leave your house! Regardless, over the past several years we got to know each other real well. It took a while, but after four years, he finally agreed to answer some questions...

Jon:  Start off with how you got started?
