Monroe, BMTH, Jason Felix

Artist: Jason Felix Taken from http://www.jasonfelix.com
Originally from Wisconsin, Jason was raised in a sheltered environment all most completely void of other creative artistic minds. The only outlet for inspiration was role playing games, comics, and video games which Jason played avidly. After graduating from high school, he landed a freelance job creating vampire illustrations for White Wolf Games which lead to a fledgling artistic career in editorial print industry. Years progressed and Jason soon found his interest swayed towards crafting art for the film and video game industry. He uprooted himself and relocated to San Francisco in hope to make a dream a reality.

What i love the most about this mans original work is the shear bizarre nature of it. Moreover the ideas that can be forged from the many interpretations of the (to some) abnormally dark subject matter. I was giddy when i received "salvaged" ,the book of his original art some of which are seen on this page. Some of my particular favorite pieces are featured here. The man is talented. My opinion has been spoken.



















Crucify Me by Heardy


Bring Me The Horizon - It Never Ends by Epitaph Records


11 Blessed With A Curse by AzeeraGalaxy



Music: Bring Me The Horizon: This is another one of those bands i always seem to like. Ive listened to them since the EP stage of their career and i must say this has to be there most mature album. First off, like always Mr. Sykes vocals soar with a kind of emotional intensity that VERY few of the bands in the genre have. moreover the actual lyrics of all BMTH albums are, or at least seem, like there was an immense amount of thought placed within them.in "Crucify me" using metaphors like

"I am an ocean, I am the sea,
There is a world inside of me.
Lost in the abyss, drowned in the deep,
No set of rules could salvage me.
Only a shipwreck, only a ghost,
merely a graveyard of your former self,
we just watched the waves crash over.
I've been cast astray."

is just a piece of beautiful writing especially with Oli's distraught vocals. In "It never ends" the lyrics venture into a darker setting "It started off with a one night stand and lingered to a fling" and "I've said it once, I've said it twice, I've said it a thousand fucking times
That I'm ok, that I'm fine, that it's all just in my mind"

and in "blessed with a curse" the slowed down beat is wonderfully complimentary to sykes vocals. all three were listed here because of the fact that i cannot pick a fav song. im also very intrigued by the slight almost orchestral feel there music has that they started with suicide season and also the guest appearances, particularly lights whom is from an entirely separate genre














Film: Marylin Monroe (info from biography.com)
Marilyn Monroe Left the world Mesmerized with her intense beauty, glamor, and her unabashed sex appeal. Born with brown hair and the non-distinct name of Norma Jean Mortenson, Marilyn re-invented herself and rose to fame in the 1950s portraying bubbly, and always Beautiful blonde bombshells in Hollywood films.

She overcame a childhood of foster homes, an absent father, and a disturbed mother to become a model, singer and award-winning actress. But her sex kitten persona left her pigeonholed in shallow roles and alone. Having sacrificed her first marriage to pursue an acting career, the failure of her second marriage to baseball great Joe DiMaggio would be blamed on her demanding career and increasing sexual image. Her third marriage to playwright Arthur Miller ended when career frustrations, self-doubt, and depression became the thing to consume her. Marilyn Monroe is a 20th century icon representing the glamor, sexuality and tragedy of fame in Hollywood

The light of a tragedy

I believe that the tragedy of the suicide of such a beautiful woman is truly something to be remembered and mourned. She once said "I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
i believe we have found the light to such a tragedy. The beauty of Marylin Monroe will forever be an icon for American film. she didnt have to deal with the burden of age. she didnt have to be burdened with becomeing a washed up actress. Marylin Monroe will forever be Marylin Monroe. She will forever be beautiful, forever be talented, and forever be glorified and remembered.
