Static 2.0

1 min read
The last month has been dedicated to the second edition of the magazine i co-publish. Static 2.0, which pays creative minds to be creative. We pay $15 per written page minimum and 3 pages and $50 for all graphic pieces of any medium. Static Diary Dosen't buy the pieces from artists rather we buy the rights to reproduce your intellectual work so that you can gain recognition from that. In this sense Static is a communal Diary.

Every issue Static will Address a Topic, the first topic was Social Taboos and the second issue of Static is the Pop Culture/E Fresh edition. I'll be posing some page spreads for people to get a feel of the magazine and hopefully once our website gets up there will be .pdf versions available for download.

all photography obviously done by, ya boy, l0cked as a function of l0ckedesigns productions.

Just check me out i am looking for opportunities as a print production artist, photographer, or Human Factors/ Usability Specialist.

i'm gonna be on devart a little more probably because i have a design class and a class called "computer as a creative tool". so i am gonna need some cheap and easy stock. and this will be an opportunity ot experiment with new styles that i might not organically think up on my own. or even a lesson in how to merge what creation comes from me within a context that i may not have considered before. this class seems more like a photomanipulation class. which is interesting. i am a little  more into realism than other people in the class. all their shit seems kinda contrived, conceptually. i dont know how they do work, but people were trying too hard and saying nothing in regards to concepts for their works.

why do these always end negatively?

am i supposed to be happy now that i'm back home for a little while?
not too much about this place has ever made me happy.
and the people that made it home, are gone.
gone from here,
gone from themselves
it hurts to see peoples daily lives
without the exuberance of youth
within them or around them

an old mans' fight to keep his own mind
a womans daily struggle to find meaning
a young man forced to leave home to find himself
kids selling crack, quitting their dreams, forgetting themselves,
their "friends" smoking crack
their parents smoking crack
some guy deals with his minute by minute bipolarism
by photographing his world.
grown ass adults dealing with the reality that their parents (and themselves) are human,
they are born, they grow, love, decay and die (all in one breath)

my grandad
my mom
my best friend, luis
marshall, maurice, luis, (countless others known and unknown)
brentwood, my hood
marshall's mom marjana and butch
me
my dad who's father has altzheimers, my mom who's mother is a 3 year breast cancer survivor and who's father is recovering from colon cancer surgery, my self who is trying to cope with the phenomenon of death (my own and others'), and anyone else i have ever met

everyday i wake up and want to die, everyday i wake up and think "one day i'm going to kill myself", everyday. what good comes with coping with the world? what is the purpose of pain? to make me stronger? why am i not equipped to be strong enough? to be strong PERIOD? why drag myself through the mud of existence?


"pain is just another stain on the box spring"; extra points if you 1) reply to anything i have said 2) can identify this quote and 3) give an explanation of what it means to you.

sometimes when its really quiet i think i can hear other people on the internet too. once in a while they leave comments.
