Interview with an artist

Today i'm interviewing Mitchell Silvers.
He is a song writer, member of Bourbon Brown and screenwriter.

Me: Do you consider yourself an artist?
MS:An artist? Yea but I would say I'm a student of the arts(music,film,books,etc)more.

Me: How did you get your start?
MS:9th grade we had to go outside, find a spot and write a poem about it. The whole, creating your own work based on how you see it,had me hooked from day one.

Me: What is your favorite canvas to use as a musician?
MS: I have two my first one is a blank page because it allows you to reach deep down to find ideas. The second one is an instrumental because music is a universal language(my opinion) and regardless of what is put on the beat,the music still dictates the theme.

Me: Are you a part of the hip hop generation?
MS:Well hip hop has come a long way and anyone who born after 1975 is a part of the hip hop generation. Me, well I feel am because it has pretty much been the medium by which I send and receive a lot of my information.

Me: How do you feel about the current state of hip-hop?
MS:Hip hop like a teenager, young and still has some growing to do but looks and sound full grown! We have more to learn before its put in the realms of jazz,blues,and rock&roll. ~ think this era will take music to a whole new level.

Me: What is the difference in hip hop and rap?
MS:The difference is simple, lyrical content. And if you need me to explain anymore then you probably think its all about"pimpin H+*$ and slamming Caddilac doors"-LOL really, you HEAR rap but you have to LISTEN to hip hop.

ME:What's next for you?
MS: Start expandin, I'm looking at blogging check out the blog @ www.dis-or-dat.blogspot.com investing more into stocks, working on my first movie but most of all my family(my wife Cathy our two girls Isabella & Alivia)

Diorama

I did my diorama on saving our forest. Our forests are very important for our future.

I'm having a catharsis

And 2Morrow

Today is filled with anger
fueled with hidden hate
scared of being outcast
afraid of common fate
Today is built on tragedies
which no one wants 2 face
nightmares 2 humanities
and morally disgraced
Tonight is filled with rage
violence in the air
children bred with ruthlessness
because no one at home cares
Tonight I lay my head down
but the pressure never stops
knawing at my sanity
content when I am dropped
But 2morrow I c change
a chance 2 build a new
Built on spirit intent of Heart
and ideals
based on truth
and tomorrow I wake with second wind
and strong because of pride
2 know I fought with all my heart 2 keep my
dream alive

Fashion as art

Fashion is art and the designer is the artist

poetry slam

A poetry slam is a competition at which poets read or recite original work. These performances are then judged by members of the audience.

I know what art is....

Art is a way to express yourself through many different canvases. There is no wrong or right way to express art. Art free expression of one's inter self.

Art education in schools

Art education in schools is limited. Art ed. is limited because of lack of funds to up keep the programs. I'm glad I was able to take art classes in school becuase it help me to express myself.
