A Seabass's stream of consciousness.
Bootée, Design, Steampunk, Graphics, Typography, Photography, Paintings, Interiors, Architecture, Music, Motorcycles, Cars, fashion, and places, all that inspire me.
This is not a sensible space nor really trying to be, instead its the continuous, extreme and ridiculous contradictions of my mind.
Imagery of objectified women, rants against hypocritical "greeness", fetishist imagery of gas guzzling devices, feminist porn, modernist graphic design, and obsessive interiors.
A pattern lust affair!

Amos Two Bulls, Lakota Sioux, by Gertrude Käsebier, ca. 1900
I found these amazing portraits and images of Native Americans at the turn of the 19th century on Flickr from random Library of Congress streams.
This is probably not universal, but all I feel when I see these is extreme sadness, and frustration that to this day, native cultures of the world are constantly under assault, by “civilization”… What a different world it would be if humanity was not such a destructive force, and considered its actions.

I randomly found a great blog with a really wonderful expose on Jack Johnson.
America’s 1st Black heavy weight champion & celebrity. Taken down for being a bad example to good black folks for marrying multiple white women.
Check out the site here: The Selvedgeyard
Also watch “Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson” a documentary by Ken Burns. While it follows all the tropes of a KB documentary, the story was still insanely sad and well told. (I did cry in shame and anger at humanity.) Its also on Netflix.

Michael Joseph Jackson.
August 29 1958 — June 25th 2009
for some reason this version of Billy Jean by Shinehead seems like an appropriate tribute:
Following is a sampling of Billy Jean covers, tributes and random uses found on the web.
The Night Michael died, people had a Billy Jean sing along on the L train, in Brooklyn, NY:
Here an elementary school in Sri Lanka’s dance performance to Billy Jean

Boy dances like MJ somewhere in the world:
Guy on the street in London listening to MJ on his iPod and going crazy dancing like MJ, ignoring the crowd gathering to watch him:
This is a bit painful, but shows the reach of MJ, this is on the Malaysian Idol in 2004:
Bulgarian Music Idol, also hard to watch but he is doing it:
