Word of the Day by: Jon Good(e)

Good morning folks! The Vocab Word for today is TEPID (\i-NEK-suh-ruh-bul\) adj. Meaning: Moderately warm; lukewarm. Ex. “At the Claremont Louge you can watch women drop it like its tepid.” Or to be biblical “So then because thou art tepid, and neith...er cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Feel free 2 construct ur own sentences using tepid, good(e) times!

Inspiration & Cool Stuff...David Jon Kassan

Mimicking Real Life

Highly detailed painting by David Jon Kassan. Even though an artist may have talent, it requires a lot of practice and hard work to be a really good artist.

Excerpt of the Artist’s Statement:

My work is a way of meditation, a way of slowing down time though the careful observation of overlooked slices of my environment. It is the subtlety of emotion in my acquaintances that inhabit the aforementioned environment which intrigues me. My paintings strive for reality, a chance to mimic life in both scale and complexity. The viewer is given an eye level perspective of the subject. A view that is unbiased and in its most raw condition. It is my intent to control the medium of oil paint so that it is not part of the viewer to subject equation. The image stands alone without evidence of the artist.

Give It To Me Right along with Bang Bang, Monday Morning, Please Don’t Go (Cry Baby), Ay Yo, Walk On By, You Stop My Heart, Johnny, Sad Songs, Priceless, It Kills Me, Teach Him and G.A.M.

Should be a strong album with her radio friendly hit single Give It To Me Right.
