Hey Guys! Here's a neat photo I edited together about the way art is produced and then repeated. I wanted to try making a picture that represented an abstrct idea since its not what I usually do with visuals, although I feel less nihilistic than Benjamin, the guy who I got the idea from.

Hey Guys! I did a thing and heres a link: But seriously I love martial arts movies and if you would take the time to watch my project I'd love you for it! https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BycFbLs_GcXMV2ZvYUxpd0c3QXM/edit warning! the music gets loud

The title is a little cheeky but here's something I found in Haneke's work awhile back. Regardless he's a great director you should all check out. (Note: Sorry the format changed in the last paragraph but think everybody was too excited to read to the end. Ha) Numbing the Pain             Michael Haneke has made eleven films over the course of his career that together show the distinct signature of the director. Haneke is cold. Haneke is distant and voyeuristic. One almost feels like they are spying on the characters in the films. And of course Michael Haneke is violent. He shocks and disturbs you with not always the images but the suggestion of the images. But that is not his signature. To me, Michael Haneke’s signature is the disengagement he creates towards the action, often violent or in other ways unsettling, onscreen.             Michael Haneke doe...

Hey Guys! If anyone wants to read anymore of my Black Sheep stuff here's a link: http://theblacksheeponline.com/author/austin-cope If you want some more satire try Local Hero Remembers to Send Fowers to Mom on Valentine's Day http://theblacksheeponline.com/clemson/local-hero-remembers-to-send-flowers-to-mom-on-valentines-day Or if you'd like a dumb list about best bathrooms I'd still stand by today try Plop Talk (very little actual toilet humor, forgive the pun) Local Hero Remembers To Send Flowers To Mom On Valentine’s Day Too often we get so caught up in the chaos of everyday life, we forget about the ones we love. But not local Clemson student Scott Sours; he sent his mother flowers. On February 14th, Valentine’s Day, Scott gave a little back to the one who’s given him a lot. Maurine Sours awoke that morning, ate breakfast, and went about her day working in her vegetable garden. At 12:15 p.m., her husband Brad Sours heard a knock at the door while...

Hey Guys! Here's something I wrote awhile back that got some decent traction (over 1300 hits is still exciting to me gosh darnit). Even the organization in question found it funny, which is good because I tried to be careful in trying to make it so ridiculous as to not be taken seriously and even then to not even implicate the ASA at all. Still some took it seriously but the ASA HAD MY BACK!! oh you probably don't care anymore. link:  http://theblacksheeponline.com/clemson/asa-out-for-blood Article copy: ASA Out For Blood by Austin Cope at Clemson University The Asian Student Association is furious that not a single Asian student is working at the new Panda Express in the Hendrix Student Center, and they’re calling for blood.  “It’s an absolute outrage,” shouted Brandon Xiao through a megaphone outside Hendrix the morning of Monday, September 1st. Xiao stood, pressing a Jian blade against a student’s neck with the dexterity of a master calligrapher. He rep...

Hey Guys! I guess everyone needs a blog nowadays so here's mine. I've been remiss to start this earlier as scathing feedback is always a must but anonymous scathing feed back can feel like a great evil has a personal grudge against you, but anyways... Here goes! P.S. I may at first simply write some links to things I've done just to get the ball rolling and get some posts under my belt but expect some formal posts and some informal musings somewhere in the future (I'm all of a sudden very excited!)
