FREE !! Enjoy

March 29, 2010
While 3D movie prices are trying to be raised up to $4+ (more info HERE) from their current $15+ price tag why not watch two great movies/videos for free. Below check out two recent findings which were a fantastic watch. The first is the Beautiful Losers Movie via FreshNerd (HERE) and the second is the preview video for Turmkunst 2010(HERE). Turmkunst is the project of a lifetime if you think about it. The video speak for itself and if this is the direction that urban/street/contemporary art is going it is extremely exciting.
Enjoy!!

Happy Birthday PaperMonster!!

March 26, 2010
PaperMonster is officially the big 25!! What better way to celebrate than share some new photos of what I have been cooking up in the studio. With the weather getting warmer on the east coast I have been putting the final touches on a bunch of new paintings and evolving past stencils. You can catch a quick snapshot of what I mean below. Stay posted because this spring/summer is looking to be one of the most exciting seasons EVER!!
Enjoy

Guess who got a new camera for his Birthday? ME!!
I have been cutting a bunch of these tiny beautiful flowers for many of the new paintings experimenting with different types of papers and effects.
I ran into this gem of paper while creating the collage work for a new piece.
Hulk Hogan vs IronMan? Who would win?

March 1, 2010
It is March 1st and what better what to start off your month than with PaperMonster’s Favorite Things!! This month we have some of my favorite commercials, songs, and of course.. GAMES. If you have any tips or would like me to feature any of your favorite things feel free to contact PaperMonster at v@papermonster.org
Enjoy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rsEnwKrsvc
First up we have a commercial that made my day. Hope it makes yours.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWHH1Updhig
Up next we have one of my favorite songs right now. Kevin Rudolf has teamed up with Lil Wayne, Jay Sean, and Birdman on a great song called I Made It (HERE). Great song to drive to.
http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/games/superherosquad/towerdefense/index.html?hpt=gp_Q2_FeaturedGames2
Next up!! One of the best FREE games I have played in quite some time. CartoonNetwork presents Stark Tower Defense (HERE) which is a action strategy game based on the new cartoon Super Heroe Squad. Quality game that will help you pass tons of hours especially on the EPIC difficulty level. Check it out HERE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxRyMeFcZEw
Finally we have another amazing iPod/iPhone game game release this time from the talented people over at Gameloft titled: Brothers in Arms 2 (HERE) . Trust me when I say this; iPod Touch games and iPad games are going to be taking over the gaming industry. The quality of these games is incredibly high and the cost to purchase the games is so low if not free. Brothers in Arms 2 has a great campaign/story mode and an even better multiplayer experience where you can play on teams, domination, or deathmatch. I recommend this game to everyone!! Find me in multiplayer as PaperMonster. Check out the full review of the game here:
