Aloha yʻall

                  Saturday, June 25, 2011 at midnite was the debut of "Eurotrash" at Lotus Downtown, 34 N.Hotel Street in Honolulu, HI.  Eurotrash has many definitions in the urban dictionary and they are all applicable. This going to be a monthly at Lotus Downtown we are redefining Eurotrash as "sex, art and dance music" or SEXED HAUTE MUSIQUE. Danse the nite away on the fourth Saturdays of the month while being entertained by the artists & performers. We want to moog ya baby! *air kisses*

"Get Lit" a concept by Mick Motor also debuted at the Kanoa Bristol, Shadowfaxx, B-Day edition of "Eurotrash" last nite . "Get Lit"- in the hands of a pro, then camera hand off to other party people for the ultimate documented-in-this-case-club-experience. There will be photos of all yʻall, by yʻall that showed up to this event last nite. We are in the works for the next fourth Saturday in July which is July 22, 2011. Stay tuned and thanks to all who signed up to be on the mailing list for first dibs on whats next with "Eurotrash"! We want to moog ya, baby! Peep it!

P.S A little inspiration to put you in the mood for July 22, 2011

    

this one is for the broken hearted...

Aloha y'all

                This is the broken hearted edition. Things don't always work out even with hard work. This is to ALL the ideas, events, models, cancelled photo shoots, etc. that did not make it. Everything, I heard, works out for a reason, but today is to acknowlege those ideas, ideals, people that will not. Sad face indeed.

McFlaps Urban Education-Intro 101

Aloha fellow readers of STARLA WAS HERE. I would like to introduce myself as B. McFlaps. I am an active artist both on and off the streets of Honolulu. Many thanks to Starla Biz for this opportunity to express and discuss street ART and its many incarnations.

Art is an effective tool of expression that can break down barriers and reconcile differences. Art has had an influence on man ever since we found it etched in prehistoric caves. Here in Hawaii, it was petroglyphs that furnished the islands. These are examples of the earliest form of visual communication and social media.

From cave walls to Facebook walls, as technology expands, so do our social circles. As everything becomes "tagged", "liked", "shared", and a "favorite", we have the ability to instantly express ourselves in larger circles, making the world a smaller place.

My desire is to discuss and explore forms of expression that some might overlook or dismiss. There are those of us expressing ourselves in the world all around us. We speak to you from the street signs, lamps, poles, electric boxes and alley walls. Look up or down and all around hidden or hanging from telephone wires down to the ground you walk on, we are there. Some call it vandalism, some graffiti, some street ART. What do you think?

                                                                                  peck, peck B. McFlaps

Expression is ART!

"Free Ai Weiwei" on Next Door 43 N. Hotel Street in Honolulu, HI

Aloha yʻall

                  Have you seen the "Free Ai Weiwei" art piece on the wall outside of Nextdoor a Cinema /Lounge on Hotel Street in C-town (Chinatown) Honolulu, HI? Ai Weiwei is an international artist from China, a few of my favorite exhibitions include: in 2010 "Sunflower Seeds" one hundred million porcelain seeds at the TATE MODERN in London, in 2007"THE FOUNTAIN OF LIGHT" a beautiful "light" installation and 1994ʻs, "WHITEWASH AND STILL LIFE" cave man urns with the Coca-cola logo attached! Click on Ai Weiwei to find out why he needs to be freed.

Expression in this case is the art! Ai Weiwei is an activist as well as artist and has been outspoken against some of his countries practices. This is extremely notable since his country, China is communist. I believe, in art there is truth expressed either consciously or subconsciously, the ones that make you go hmmm. I hope that this situation works out and want to see more work from this artist.

I found great info. while researching for this blog post, check out kickstarter.com. This is a great site and Alison Klayman the documentary film maker gave me permission to show vid-e-o here. Mahaloz.

I have some definite opinions on the entire matter, check out "Ode" below.

Art is expression

Do these look like the faces of criminals? read on...

Aloha yʻall

                  Dictionary.com defines expression in many ways, I think the most applicable is " act or an instance of transforming ideas into words" and/or "communication of emotion through music, painting etc." Is this applicable to "Is StreetART a crime, heck yes! If you are a good SA your work has been seen and it changes and challenges and/or amuses. I believe to be a good artist (street or in general) there has to be truth in the artistʻs work expressed either consciously or unconsciously, the oneʻs that make you go hmmm...

In Street ART vandalism is a crime AND this is a problem for some. From the SA side this is a rite of passage and/or you are coming up, street artists can be arrested if caught. In the above definition for vandalism, there is Banksy, the most recognized SA worldwide, his WORK that is. "Is street ART a crime?" I have tossed and turned on this one a lot since the venue change for BIRDS IN THE CITY. I donʻt like the criminal aspect applied to this art form so I/we are trying to remove the crime ALL with out losing too much STREET CRED.

I think "expression" in all itʻs defined forms is a good thing especially if no one is harmed in the process. Have you seen B3@k03 and Botherʻs work? I am blown away and really lucky to have their work via Flickr. I see dedication, progression, and expression and thats what I want to focus on. Street ART is here and I L.O.V.E. it when the SAʻs EXPRESS themselves.

This is a three part series look out for "Expression is art" then a final word from a ghost writer. Peep it!
