<strong>The</strong> Alchemist<br />
Charcoal <strong>and</strong> Pastels<br />
30” x 44’’<br />
<strong>The</strong> art <strong>of</strong> Matthew D. Hughes<br />
By Jordan Godlewski<br />
Originally from Ravenna, Nebraska,<br />
Matthew D. Hughes moved with his family<br />
to Lawton when his wife received orders to<br />
be stationed at Fort Sill. Hughes began his<br />
educational career at Cameron in 2010 where he<br />
is pursuing a Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Fine Arts. Since that<br />
time he has become a student in the Cameron<br />
Honors program <strong>and</strong> the current president <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Cameron University Art Guild.<br />
Hughes enjoys making art as a way <strong>of</strong> self<br />
expression by becoming completely emerged in<br />
whatever piece he is working on.<br />
“Like many artists, I create art as a<br />
way <strong>of</strong> self expression,” Hughes said. “I have<br />
always enjoyed making art; it is a way for me to escape. When I am working on a piece, I become completely<br />
focused <strong>and</strong> enter an almost meditative state. Art is a wonderful way for me to withdraw from the world <strong>and</strong><br />
center my self.”<br />
Even though art comes naturally to Hughes, he tributes much <strong>of</strong> his artistic knowledge to his<br />
gr<strong>and</strong>mother.<br />
“My gr<strong>and</strong>mother was a folk artist in Nebraska, so I learned from her,” Hughes said. “However, art was<br />
something that came naturally to me.”<br />
Hughes draws inspiration from all his relationships <strong>and</strong> life experiences.<br />
“As with everything in my life, my family is a great inspiration to me. I have a wonderful wife <strong>and</strong> two<br />
amazing kids,” Hughes said. “I enjoy incorporating my family members into my art. Additionally, I also like to<br />
work with architectural subjects, especially buildings <strong>and</strong> sights that I have visited.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> year 2013 promises to be a big year for Hughes as he travels to Italy to experience the culture, art<br />
<strong>and</strong> history <strong>of</strong> that part <strong>of</strong> the world <strong>and</strong> works to complete his degree at Cameron.<br />
“During spring break I will be visiting Italy where I am sure I will be inspired by the great art <strong>and</strong><br />
architecture there,” Hughes said. “This inspiration will undoubtedly lead to many ideas for artwork. <strong>The</strong> 2013<br />
fall semester with be the beginning <strong>of</strong> my senior, so I will also begin looking into graduate programs as I plan<br />
on pursuing my Master <strong>of</strong> Fine Arts degree so that I can one day teach at the university level.”<br />

Valentine’s Day celebrates two main parts <strong>of</strong><br />
the American body: the heart <strong>and</strong> the sweet tooth.<br />
According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, forty-seven<br />
percent <strong>of</strong> consumers in this country will spend over<br />
$1 billion in exchanged Valentine’s Day c<strong>and</strong>y. Time<br />
magazine reports that over eight billion <strong>of</strong> the iconic<br />
“Conversation Hearts” are produced annually by the<br />
New Engl<strong>and</strong> Confectionary Company.<br />
With such lucrative cravings, naturally our culture<br />
would produce songs about our beloved c<strong>and</strong>y.<br />
Most <strong>of</strong>ten, c<strong>and</strong>y has been used as a metaphor for<br />
satisfying other human cravings in odes which span<br />
across the genres.<br />
Perhaps the most obvious sweet tooth anthem is<br />
“I Want C<strong>and</strong>y” by Bow Wow Wow, an upbeat ‘80s<br />
earworm that has nothing to do with confectionaries.<br />
“C<strong>and</strong>y Girl” by the Archies is more innocent, much like<br />
“C<strong>and</strong>y Girl” by New Edition <strong>and</strong> “C<strong>and</strong>y” by M<strong>and</strong>y<br />
Moore. Christina Aguilera praises the man who loves<br />
her right in “C<strong>and</strong>yman,” while Annie dismisses a<br />
would-be suitor in “Chewing Gum.” Marcy Playground<br />
l<strong>and</strong>ed their only claim to fame with “Sex <strong>and</strong> C<strong>and</strong>y,”<br />
an ode to boredom.<br />
Alternative rock also has a sweet side. <strong>The</strong> Jesus<br />
<strong>and</strong> Mary Chain return to a lover they did wrong in<br />
“Just Like Honey.” “Lips Like Sugar” by Echo <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Bunnymen is a tribute to the perfect alt girl, although<br />
“C<strong>and</strong>yman” by Siouxsie <strong>and</strong> the Banshees is a<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
D’Angelo sings about a girl he knew named “Brown<br />
Sugar” in his velvety way. In Date Movie, “C<strong>and</strong>y<br />
Shop” by 50 Cent featuring Olivia is sung as a joke<br />
between the two protagonists. Kelis will never have<br />
<br />
by Lil Wayne has a catchy beat, but is not about<br />
lollipops. <strong>The</strong> always modest Lil’ Kim references a<br />
classic Tootsie Roll commercial in “How Many Licks?”<br />
featuring Sisqo. City High’s “Caramel” features the<br />
female singer bragging about herself.<br />
Some <strong>of</strong> the best sugary songs are found in classic<br />
rock. <strong>The</strong> Undertones wrote the perfect punk jingle for<br />
“Mars Bar.” Iggy Pop reminisces about a girl named<br />
“C<strong>and</strong>y.” Two <strong>of</strong> the most notorious hair metal anthems<br />
are “Pour Some Sugar On Me” by Def Leppard <strong>and</strong><br />
“Cherry Pie” by Warrant. <strong>The</strong> infamous “Brown Sugar”<br />
by the Rolling Stones was once banned by the<br />
Chinese government from being performed live in their<br />
country due to lyrical content.<br />
What are your favorite c<strong>and</strong>y-themed songs? Which<br />
songs were erroneously left out <strong>of</strong> this compilation?<br />
Are any <strong>of</strong> these songs on your playlist for Valentine’s<br />
Day? All feedback is welcome at taylorb@<br />

Taylor B, an Army Brat via Fort Sill, will be spending<br />
Singles Awareness Day with Ben & Jerry. As usual.<br />
Justin Timberlake ft. Jay-Z, “Suit & Tie” Grade: D<br />
This song is evidence for why<br />
one should not deviate from<br />
their talents for six years. Even<br />
with the aimless smooth vibe<br />
<strong>and</strong> a phoned-in verse from<br />
H.O.V.A., expect to hear this at<br />
every wedding reception for the<br />
foreseeable future.<br />
Yo La Tengo, Fade Grade: B<br />
<br />
as a b<strong>and</strong>, Yo La Tengo certainly<br />
still has it. This warm album<br />
sounds like summer, complete<br />
with joyful, luscious orchestration.<br />
Fade occasionally ventures into a<br />
formless haze, but it makes for a<br />
worthwhile audio journey.<br />
A$AP Rocky, LONG.LIVE.A$AP Grade: B+<br />
This album was delayed twice<br />
