Waking Life is a computer- animated movie, that was released on the 17th of October 2001, directed by Richard Linklater and screen written, produced by Anne Walker-McKay, Jonah Smith ; composed by Glover Hill and produced by Tommy Pallotta. This movie talks about a college guy who dream while he is awake about philosophical discussions and ethereal experiences meeting with characters along the way that are principles roles of his dream, they discuss together and listen and observe and respond.. Viewers learn eventually that each day whenever he wakes up in bed, appearing to start a new day, he is just dreaming but knowing that he is dreaming and trying to control his own dreams. Waking life, was shot on a digital video cam, edited and then finished by 30 animators. Everything in this movie is amazing in my opinion, the colors, the characters how they are drown, the story, the lighting, the shooting, everything is unique especially the amusing dialogues.

who is Banksy ??!

Banksy: a very famous British artist !

I was reading an article about some artist and Banksy got my attention specialy the title of the article "who is banksy?" .The media loves this guy and they have been following his latest artworks over the 18 past months.So introducing you to Banksy, he is an artist. Here's a famous quote to banksy to understand more his perpeous of creating art : The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit
The BBC website claims that Banksy has no formal education about art and that he was in detention for many crimes. Seems that Banksy is really getting the attention of media by his works and millions of people knows him, maybe because he is a very controversial person when it comes to his artwork. check out Banksy website !!!
A journalist called Simon Hattenstone did an interview with banksy check it out.
