You Should Really Keep An Eye On:

HAPPIEST LION




Hailing from Boston, this prolific 18 year old is one of my good friends. His music portrays the dark, child-like, and heartfelt emotions of a vegan kid that grew up all over America. When asked about his life plans, music is the only thing that comes to his mind. I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that in time he'll find his way into all the world's eardrums, providing the soundtrack for road trips, mixtapes, and study sessions everywhere.

You should really keep an eye on Happiest Lion.

THINGS I'M NOT TOO KEEN ON:

1. The fact that new Billy Mays commercials are coming out (Tupac effect?)
2. Eggs w/ too much cheese (but who's counting?)
3. Unauthorized roommate withdrawal from my personal bread account (not a euphemism)

Hello, Electric Boogalloo.

I have decided to move my blog to BlogSpot for its networking opportunities. I will still use my website (www.JackSjogren.com) but it will mainly be a gallery for my art projects.

VERY SPECIFIC THING I AM EXCITED ABOUT:

• ArtPrize

-From 9/23 to 10/10/2009, the ArtPrize contest will be taking place in GR. This contest is offering, well, the world's largest art prize (1st place: $250,000). This should be a good time around the city and a great experience. Unfortunately, I found out about the contest too late to enter but you and any artist in the world can enter next time around. Exciting! Great things are expected as well as a substantial amount of inspiring art in the 159 indoor and outdoor venues.
