I miss Spam so much. Why does it have to be so bad for the human body? WHY?!

Evidently someone made art of me and it’s on the cover of Portland Mercury.

Kinda fucked up that people think they can just use you/your image without permission, huh ?

(via This Week’s Cover | Blogtown, PDX)

I’m not sure you have legal standing because I’m not sure if this would be considered “fair use” or not. It’s obviously rude, but since it’s not a blatant copy (instead he remade it with a new medium and even changed aspects of the original) idk how far you’d get were you to pursue legal action. THAT SAID I’ve seen this guy’s work before and he clearly paints images of hot fat chicks he found on tumblr. I think at the very least you could send him a letter asking for proper attribution to be added on his site or wherever. THEN AGAIN, this happened: in 1992, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit “found that an artist copying a photograph could be liable for infringement when there was no clear need to imitate the photograph for parody.”

(Things you learn from teaching copyright law to undergrads.)

Also, from what I recall, the “you shouldn’t be able to use my image” approach (publicity rights) to art/copyright only works if you’re a public figure or otherwise famous.

ETA: oh hmm, maybe you do have some rights here:

“In some states, celebrities cannot sue for misappropriation of name and likeness (on the theory that they have no privacy interest to protect), and non-celebrities may not sue for violation of the right of publicity (on the theory that their personalities have no commercial value). The growing trend, however, is to permit both celebrities and non-celebrities two sue for both misappropriation and violation of the right of publicity, as long as they can establish the relevant kind of harm.”

I can’t say shit about this topic (except that Gluibizzi’s silence on the topic irritates me), because I also appropriate images from the interwebs…so…

Also, I ~~hate~~ strongly dislike Gluibizzi’s work.

OMG YAY! I made Petra’s list of things she did! I feel like I should taunt you that I have enough sun to use your matchbook pinhole (which you should make me one, hint hint) but considering how burned I am from climbing to the Hollywood sign, I’ll shut up :)

I should totally make you one! XD

It does require some assembly :/ But that will mostly consist of masking it with tape.

Uhh, this doesn’t look like ectoplasm. It looks like cum from multiple people under blacklight.

Quick rundown of the past several weeks:

Thu, 31 May 2012 17:33:51 -0700

graduated with a BFA in Intermedia from PNCA
tied with Jakob Vala for the thesis writing award (and I’m still surprised that I was given this honor. Honestly, I read some pretty damn good papers from my class.)
installed 9 dildos in the BFA thesis show. Last day to see them puppies is next Thursday. After that, I’ll be selling those fuckers. Oh, shit. That reminds me that I need to do some documentation before I pass them on.
met with the Assistant Dean for Inclusion from Reed’s Multicultural Affairs dept.
also met with the director from Reed’s MALS program (Master of Arts in Liberal Studies) Don’t tell anyone Reed is my top choice.
regular volunteer work at PLACE, and loving Wayne Bund’s process.
got to see a few pieces from EFF Portland, my favorite piece was Brent Coughenour’sIn Search of Lost Time.
Met with two of my favorite Tumblr/IRL peeps, molly & hannah, for fries and drinks and a general ladies & non-maybe-lady nite
went “camping” over memorial day weekend with the missus. we couldn’t find any available camping sites; they were all reserved. so, we turned off our phones and stayed at home, eating camp food, making coffee in our camping percolator, and pretended we were camping.
made a matchbook pinhole camera!! but, it’s been too overcast to use it. i don’t mind filtered lighting, but come on, Portland! I like a little more contrast in my black and white images. I’ll eventually get that roll shot and processed…and someday it will get scanned.
got to see K before she moved ALL THE WAY TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. :( Best of luck, my friend! Tag it up, sister!

Uh…that’s pretty much it. The rest of my time is split between reading/writing/making and being a badass house-spouse: making food from scratch (thanks to food allergies), keeping the budget up to date, paying bills, cleaning house…My life’s not too exciting, but I dig it.

Surprising, but true: Study suggests Latin Americans don't drink all that much

Adult beverage, anyone?

By LARA FERNANDEZ

A survey of alcohol drinking habits in the region conducted by the international think tank Latin American Faculty for Social Sciences or FLACSO, found that Latin Americans average 5.5 liters of pure alcohol per person per year (or about 300 cans of beer) — a modest amount when compared to drinking averages in the United States and Europe, where consumers average 9.4 liters and 13 liters per year, respectively.

Military mom ‘proud’ of breast-feeding in uniform, despite criticism
National pride, or disgrace? A photo gone viral of two servicewomen breast-feeding their children while in uniform has added a new layer to the debate over nursing in public.

If you think this is a “disgrace”, just quit following me now.

^^^

man i have so many words about how stupid all this backlash is and i’m so infuriated but i think (i hope) you all can just UNDERSTAND mmKAY?!

what.

There is backlash against two people feeding their children. I have no faith left in humanity.

Today, I made a pinhole camera (using these instructions).

I’ll get to test it out tomorrow. And, since I live in Portland, I’ll need to be ready at the drop of a hat. You never know when you might get sufficient, or even desirable, light.

Goddamn you, Pacific Northwest! Why must shooting always be a crapshoot?!

Oh, yeah. Self? Remember that you loaded 100 iso NOT 400.
