so yes well whats is jmdkmBlog about?
well lets be honest about it… it aint gonna be pretty……
but dont be afraid.. there lots of fun and loads of stuff te be learned at jmdkm side of perceiving a natural enviroment like the one YOU are surrounded by…
for instance i would like to utter some inlfuences i’ve been lately undergoing myself..
in organising and checking out some action at the cultblender flickr group I stummbled on a artist called Steven Laurie
the question is not why the burning of rubber and the thick layers of smoke should satisfy my willingness to explore the boundaries of ‘the rough and the though’ but why this artist stripped the context down to core. To the nitty gritty I should say…he built an object, a machine just to do that voodoo that it should do, and it does it very well…

my first glimpse on the pages with pictures of this happening, reminded me of some specific kind of metal concert where adrenaline and sweat could fill up buckets.. only but for the smell of asphalt (and of course the actual burning rubber) pointed out the context of rural car admiration en social use, like for instance speed and racing…
I would like to make a connection with the work of Tijmen Smit.. at first I couldnt grap it quite, it took me some time but to be able to see more artists working on such a specific theme and material at the same time.. I believe im getting more understanding with this way of making and presenting art…
the intensity and clarity of stunning loud and overwhelming performances..
‘i’m going the distance, i’m going for speed..’
