Kanye wrote a picture book. From the description on BPM Magazine, it seems like it would make a great coffee table book or bathroom literature.
The book is titled “Glow In The Dark” and it presents the insight with the production of his “Glow In The Dark” tour. The book is 288 pages long and shows on stage performances, behind-the-scenes shots, conceptual sketches by West, costume designs, and stage models. It also includes an audio CD featuring the previously unreleased live instrumentals for “Hey Mama”, “Touch the Sky”, “Jesus Walks”, and “I Wonder”, as well as an interview with video and film director Spike Jonze.
I would rather read a memoir from ‘Ye, the picture book is meh.
My jewelry box consists of a plastic, shoebox sized container with a mishmash of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. This is trifling, as I have had to deal with damaged/broken jewelry more than I care to share. It would be much better to have a home for my jewelry that is pretty and makes everything easier to find. Something like this:
I want to do better, ya’ll. How do you store jewelry? Are you like me and just toss it in a clear box, or do you take the care to use a jewelry holder?
Visiting the Hip Hop DX blog today, Aliya Ewing posted this dope ass art project by a Graphic Designer named Logan Walters called “The Wu Note Project.” He took all the Wutang Clan album covers, and remixed them and put them into a set. Shit is dope. I would rock this on my wall.
Walters says:
The cleverest thing the Wu-Tang Clan ever did was negotiate separate contracts for everybody, but since these came out on so many different labels the cover art varies drastically. The “Wu-Note Project” is my attempt to amend this all the covers work as a set.
I would say Walters’s intention was well executed. He notes in an earlier post that his inspiration was the Blue Note Records album covers. I’m digging the fusion of art, jazz, and hip hop manifesting itself in the realm of digital media.
