Crazy Bert & Ernie image. Created by concept artist Dan LuVisi, he says: Well here’s the story. I imag­ined Bert as a Marine who left his lit­tle brother behind for the Vietnam war. Over the years, Ernie start­ed to turn into a junkie without his brother’s guidance, falling into the wrong crowd and dealing/using with the wrong people thus making some very bad mistakes. Until Bert returned, leav­ing one war, only to fight anoth­er for his brother. Oh man, Ernie. What a psycho.” #sesamestreet #Art #gangsta #bert #ernie

My latest game review for Denver Post’s Game on blog: BioShock Infinite is escapism, world-building at its finest (review) When developers announced that BioShock Infinite would no longer be in the underwater city of Rapture like the first two games, and that it would have a totally new story and new characters, some fans paused. And with good reason. Rapture was the perfectly beautiful post-apocalyptic underwater city, and despite how in-depth the first two games were, fans wanted to continue exploring it. Instead, the team at Irrational Games has taken us to the clouds in the floating city of Columbia (not to be confused with South American country, Colombia) for BioShock Infinite. You play as Booker DeWitt, a former detective down on his luck now headed up to Columbia in the year 1912 on a mission to pay a debt. The mission? Find a young woman named Elizabeth and bring her back to New York City. Sounds easy enough, right? Read more…

Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American “White privilege is knowing that even if the bomber turns out to be white, no one will call for your group to be profiled as terrorists as a result, subjected to special screening or threatened with deportation,” writes author Tim Wise. “White privilege is knowing that if this bomber turns out to be white, the United States government will not bomb whatever corn field or mountain town or stale suburb from which said bomber came, just to ensure that others like him or her don’t get any ideas. And if he turns out to be a member of the Irish Republican Army we won’t bomb Dublin. And if he’s an Italian-American Catholic we won’t bomb the Vatican.” Read more….

Would you consider writing articles for unsigned artists?

My entire coverage of Colorado hip-hop are unsigned artists. If there was an unsigned artist that I really was feeling, someone who was innovative, creative, bringing something new to the table, that I felt people had to know about, I would. But it’s rare. The last couple of artists who actually made me feel that way are cats like K-Os or Kenna or AlunaGeorge or New Look or Los Rakas… it takes a lot to impress me enough to want to talk to you about your art and then write about that conversation.
