Alexandra’s Home of Thought

I’d like to recommend a site I like a lot. Blu is a guy who travels around the world doing graffities wherever he gets the chance to. What intrigued me was that he also does short films while painting the walls. He takes pictures and them puts them all together creating the movement effect. It’s brilliant and also a lot of hard work. The short film with Muto shows how well he uses the structures/objects from the environment. Check out his website and blog too (I love the way his site is designed), he has some interesting sketches and pictures there too. The style is mostly the same though. I believe that if you’ve seen the Muto project, you/ve practically seen what he has to say at this point.

Lately one can see graffiti everywhere. On trams, buses, walls, cars. People’s opinions are split between considering them a means of expressing urban culture and a means of vandalizing public goods. My opinion is that it depends on the graffiti.

I like these next ones, they look good, they have a certain feeling to them and they convey a message as well. I recommend Bancsy’s graffiti.

On the other hand, I don’t see the point in these next ones. I can’t see their artistic side either.

What do you think?

Just a few minutes ago, the gymnast Sandra Izbaşa won the gold medal for her floor exercise at the Beijing Olympiad. Romania also won today a bronze medal at canoe 8+1 and a gold medal at the marathon through Constantina Diţă. Here you can watch Sandra’s perfect performance, which took her straight to first place in spite of her entering the contest last.

A big thank you to all of you!

I created this blog for my foreign friends who can’t understand my Romanian blog. This one will be an English mirror of the other one so that everybody can read it. I hope you will enjoy reading the posts as much as I enjoy writing them. Thanks!
