Jeremy Wins Life

Sometimes I live up in my mind so much that I don’t want to speak what’s on it. It happens a lot with girls I like.

If you don’t want to admit that you stalk people, then I will. I have a Facebook account, a Twitter, and I’m subscribed to at least 50 blogs in my Google Reader. Among them are artists, designers, and even old funny men who don’t really know how to use the internet (like comedian Louis C.K.). Many of these blogs I found after reading one article on their site, and they continued to publish more and more valuable articles.

Some blogs I added to my list after their authors let me know they read mine. I like finding out who is viewing my website because usually they have content I’m interested in seeing myself. Here are 3 people who have checked me out, or who I’ve checked out, and now I follow to see what’s new in their worlds. They also happen to be Asian girls.

Very inspired by graphic tome, Bone. Hope you enjoy it!

Inception came out last week and my good friend Katelan Cunningham reviewed it on The District. I did an illustration to accompany her write-up, and to experiment with some new tools. Go and read her article!

One of my favorite scenes that usually ends up as an afterthought for most people is the one where Cobb tells Ariadne that you can never really remember the beginning of a dream. He asks her how they ended up at the cafe, and all she can say is, “Well we came from the.. uh..”. I really like that idea so much, especially because it is a scene in a movie. Movies have scene after scene strung together, and sometimes they jump time. We don’t always get to see what happens in between scenes where a character might be getting ready in his bathroom, then ending up at work in the next scene.

Nolan points out that movies aren’t real and that they mirror our dreams more than they mirror life. It’s references itself by pointing out that Inception is just a movie, by not showing us exactly how they got the cafe: just that they ended up there. And as seriously as some of us take our movies, deconstructing plausibility and finding plot holes, you have to keep in mind that movies have no reason to make sense. My dreams never do.
