M.C. Escher, Hip Hop, and Samurai Champloo
Visited the Crocker Art Museum this morning to see their "M.C. Escher: Rhythm of Illusion" exhibit. I enjoyed seeing the rough drafts of his works. In the museum store, I saw this image of a cat, entitled, "White Cat." His landlady gave it to him and it was his companion for some time. I also liked the fish he used in geometric patterns:
While leaving, I noticed the museum has a Hip-Hop 101 class, where experts will discuss and answer questions about the real roots of Hip-Hop and how many types of Hip-Hop really exist. I might attend.
Last night I watched four episodes of the hip-hop themed anime series Samurai Champloo. I'd like to watch the other DVDs now. It's not addicting but it's entertaining.

I was wondering how you would link those three disparate topics together. You surprise me sometimes! ^_^
I wish I could have gone to the exhibit. I love M.C. Escher! That cat drawing is so adorable! It would be nice to have on a t-shirt, or a poster.
The fish in that other picture look so funny! Cute.
I have not seen any Samurai Champloo yet. I wouldn't mind watching some sometime.
Love,
Dawny
You're welcome *hugs* Sometimes I even manage to amaze myself.
I've requested all of the other six Samurai Champloo DVDs from the Sacramento Public Library.
I loved the fish. They look very focused on being geometric.
