ABOUT KIROL


He needs a quiet room
With a lock to keep him in
It's just a quiet room
And he's there

He plays an old guitar
With a coin found by the phone
It was his friends guitar
That he played

He's never been in love
But he knows just what love is
He said nevermind
And no-one speaks

He thinks he drinks too much
Cause when he tells his too best friends
'I think I drink too much'
No-one speaks
No-one speaks
No-one speaks

He plays an old guitar
With a coin found by the phone
It was his friends guitar
That he played

When he plays
No-one speaks
No-one speaks
When he plays
No-one speaks

NOT TOO STUPID

we dont get the idea, people are not going to understand it, its nice but i dont get it, i like it but i dont understand why you put that in there, can you explain it for me? for me? thats the general response for my art in editorial world or gallery, people won´t get it. yes like that. i have that exactly answers in my mail, i have lots of them, they won´t get it. what is to get? why the fuck you are a fucking monkey working in the same shit all your life? because you can´t understand you asume ¨the public¨will not get it. Time ago, an old master told me, be carefull with your talent, because people love the art but are jealous they are not the artist. they can´t create so they don´t want anyone else to create. they won´t get it.
well they wasn´t going to get him either. but they did. i will show them, they will get me too. fuck them, in denial.












ABOUT MY FRIENDS

i dont remember been happy, i know, i should. my sister told me when i was a kid i was really happy and fun person, i dont remember that anymore. i have been an obsesive compulsive depressive since iam 15, i think thats why i got into punk and grunge. it gave me a reason to try to be a chosen looser, a reject winner, i still think in what would happen when i reach the success and fame i want. i would became addict to it? i would hate myself? i know iam 24 right now, and i feel lucky in many ways. i know iam not what i thought i was going to be at this age. but i know i have the best friends ever, they are always supporting me and telling me to go on. i can go on with this life if i have them. mike, turtle, j-man, megan and some more in my country are the fuel for my pasion. i will make it, i just need a chanse to show i can change the things.

COLLABORATION BETWEEN KIROL AND ME

lunes, 13 de octubre de 2008


There are a lot of rules these days. Boundaries we can't cross, things we can't do or see. Things we're not allowed to say, nor hear.
There is a lot of fear of people wanting to cause intentional harm or injustice to their fellow man; rumours started by the press and government.
Now, I'm talking today about photography.
Anyone in the streets taking pictures of random people has to be suspicious, right? They're imposing on your rights and stealing your soul with their voodoo equipment and they know where you live. They're going to hunt you down.
If they're taking pictures of famous monuments and places of interest then surely they're a terrorist. Watch out, they're in your city killin' your dudes.
Or if someone happens to take a photo of a kid, no matter what the situation, even if it is their own child, then surely they're a paedophile! Watch out, kiddilywinks. Big bad photo man is coming.
I'm not saying photography isn't used for such things, but I am saying that we're force-fed this negative opinion of photographers out and about in the streets doing their hobby or even their job by the government and newspapers all the time.
Journalists are shooting themselves in the foot a lot of the time by taking images relating to terrorism and the other negative topics, making people feel unsafe.
Luckily, we are still at right to take photos in the public domain. Sure, rules are in place for our safety. Police can do random searches on anyone who looks suspicious, so photographers are getting stopped more than usual. Sure, it's their job, but the police surely have more important things to be doing with their time than searching people overtly taking pictures of places and people.
The laws need to be updated, and artists need to be protected. The negative image stamped onto any one with a camera is a horrible burden, and it is treated with some ignorance.
People don't care what you're doing simply because they presume the negative. Don't label someone with such derogatory tags until you find out what they're doing.
Reform the laws, Free the art.
Dont know if i have permission to post this but what da hell you never log in on msn fer!

This is a co-lab between me and Mr.Fer. He made basically everything and then i changed the background and added drips and splatter.

Think it's cool, but that's because Mr.Fer did almost everything haha

Well here it is.

Multi shit

Well, i think i'll follow Mr.Fers exampel and do an multi upload..

The first picture is an allmost finished painting.. I dont know if you understand it cus' the words are in swedish, BUT anyway. It's a teenagers head being opened and all his/hers thoughts are just exploding out. And yes, the face is supposed to look like that, it's made with one stroke. Never took away the pen from the canvas when i dra it, just changed pressure. Happy with the (allmost done) result so far.

The next picture i bet all of you know what it is. Made it for my girlfriend as a 1 year anniversairy present. We haven't given each other flowers cus' we dont think it's relevant haha, they just die and smell bad. So i gave her everlasting flowers. She loves blue, and she actually wants to be blue sometimes. creepy i know, but i love her haha

The third is from an exhibition i had on Öland. I was painting this live outside while there was an crowd looking. They loved it man, was there for the entire day and night and i was only painting on this for like 30 min, cus' people allways came up to me and was like, "damn man, you have some nice skills, like you works.. This painting is coming out nice too". It was a nice exhibition with alot of nice responses.

The last pic is a finished painting of me screaming out my feelings about this monotom society when people act like grey zombies. The dress the same, watch the same programs and think the same, ces' that's what the "man" tells them to think. You get the idea..
Happy with that too man.

Hope you guys are doing great!

peace from sweden

J-man

BTW ! BIG UP TO MY MAN Mr.Fer!! HE'S FUCKING 24 NOW, BIIIIG BOY!!!

LIFE IS JUST A RIDE

"The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..." And we... kill those people.

"We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real." Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. Thank you very much, you've been great."

Changes.


Ok. It's Kirol here~.
Long time no post, huh?
Yep.
Well, anyway.
I suppose I'd best do this seeing as Fer asked me to.
The image I chose kinda fits in here, too.
It's from the wedding I did. My most important paid shoot so far; it shows just how far I've come. I've grown, become older, and a little bit wiser too.
Fer's the same. I've seen him come a long way. When I first met him, he was clouded by rage. Blinded by agony and hatred by the terribly things going on in his life.
He's an amazing guy who has a hell of a lot of passion for what he does, and he's a good friend.
As I was saying. I first met him back a few years ago, a few months before he got disapear. His views are strong, and he took action on one of them...~ It's his passion flaring up. Back then, he didn't know how to deal with it well.
He went to exile, and I wondered where the hell he went. I'm sure it taught him a lot, but he still came back willed with anger. Still, something was different. He seemed regretful and sad; Broken and torn, fed up with the world. Only the slightest bit, but it could very well have been the catalyst for change that was soon to occur.
He showed me some of the artwork he'd been producing and asked me for my opinion.
Yeah, he was a brilliant artist, but his style was still undefined and raw. He was mixing far too many styles into what was still a liquid mixture, he needed to let it settle and cultivate by focusing on certain points.
I pointed out areas that could've been improved on, and actually found his work amazing to look at as it gave me ideas of working myself. Gradually, his style developed into a dishevelled, twisted dark macabre system. Some of his pieces were more light-hearted, but it seemed to change with his mood.
Oh, and the sheer volume of work! He must work so indefatigably hard, churning out images with such speed and voracity. I wish I had such a drive, but I get so busy with other things... I have a lot on my plate.
Still, Fernando has started to progress a lot. I see a hell of a lot of improvement in his work, and I'm glad I can still offer my opinion on it.
Recently he's getting a lot of fame and interest in his work, which makes me proud to know and help someone so great just as he is helping me.
He is no longer such an angry guy, and instead focuses those feelings onto the page. The dark ink that blinded and twisted him is taking form on the page, and it's enchanting and enticing to see. He's come a long way from the angry boy he used to be.
Rock on, dude.
Rock on.
