Jaber profile

The only stuff I have seen on Jaber's were theses profile streaks - but after some research he also does some filled in characters as well. Enjoy!

Hitler in animated cartoon form.

How has the Hitler image been visually represented in different animated cartoons?

Hitler on The Simpsons "Revenge is a Dish Best Served Three Times" episode in 2007

Hitler and Eva attempt to commit suicide Season 4, Episode 8 on The Family Guy

Cartman as Hitler on South Park from the Passion of the Jew episode, Season 8, episode 4


Then, I also found Donald Duck as Hitler from a film titled "Der Fuehrer's Face" from 1943.

Radical Lying!

The opposite of Radical Honesty! Let Rita Bullshisky take you through a small introduction video to Radical Lying!

Instead of losing face, I found it!

So, funny story! Last Thursday evening after class, I was looking online for some photos of 'Lister', a graffiti artist who does a lot of work with faces and I found an image from somewhere in Brooklyn that was taken fairly recently. I was trying to figure out where it was but couldn't figure it out. I was going to scout out some areas over this coming weekend. 

Then amazingly, on Friday, I was going somewhere with my mom and she had to stop in Williamsburg. As were leaving and turning the corner, there was the face I was trying to locate! I found it totally by mistake. It was great!

The face I found:

Facial Action Coding System #AU6 exercise.

After doing some exploration in Paul Ekman's website, I found a link to one of his books, the Facial Action Coding System which has all of the coding information for facial movements. The first two chapters of the book are available online! In the second chapter, Ekman goes over action unit 6 which is the cheek raiser and lid compressor. There is a listed step by step instruction on how to do this action with your facial muscles. I tried doing it and while it seems super easy - it is a bit difficult to control the facial muscles as so.
The directions I followed:

• Try winking, using your cheek in the wink. Note how your cheek lifts. Now do that cheek lift without the wink. 
• Try squinting your eyes as though to block out a bright sun, and although this motivation is likely to produce AUs 4 and 7 as well, you can refine these movements to exclude all but AU 6. 

The end result:

Street artist Vhils

This street artist, vhils, creates his work in Europe (at least that is where all of the pictures are coming from when I searched them). He scratches large scale portraits from walls. It is quite amazing!

Graffiti and faces!

After the music video for "Sledgehammer", I immediately thought of graffiti and characters and how a lot of writers will focus on the face if they are making characters, myself included.

I took this picture around 2005, in Texas. Most of Pars streaks on trains are of characters and faces. It is amazing how much can be illustrated with a seemingly basic face and some drips. The next writer I thought about was Broke, who is from Texas. While I took some photos of his stuff while I lived there, I did not take the following photo which depicts his fun style. He has totally animated and made candy corn emotional. He also adds faces to a number of objects in and around Austin like trees and dumpsters, among other things.

Face of the 80's!

The first thing I did when I arrived home from the first class was look up this epic music video from the 80's that focuses primarily on a face! The great thing about the Peter Gabriel "Sledgehammer" video is that while just shifting his hair style, and some minor facial expressions, Peter Gabriel really transforms the mood and emotions that he is exerting. Even if the background was not changing as well, his facial expressions would still be in transit!
