DISPLACEMENT

 "Most of the time we take the world, and our place in it, for granted. The man-made, everyday objects photographed in Displacement reveal a present but often ignored, whimsical beauty."

UK vs US

UK SKINS

US SKINS

{Via Youtube}

So I just finished watching the UK original version of Skins, season 5 episode 1, Franky. I was blown away by the music, plot, styling, cinematography etc as I always am with the UK series Skins. I was horrified when I heard MTV created a US version of Skins and even more horrified when I saw the trailer. Have a looksies. As if slamming Sleigh Bells into the trailer makes it any cooler (Don't get me wrong I love Sleigh Bells just not in combination with MTV's Skins). Puke. The US needs to stop stealing brilliant ideas and trying to make it their own. U.K. vs US game over!

A TRIBUTE TO SAM FRANCIS

{Via: Elesha of F.I.T.S, Jonathan Novak Contemporary Art, Meulensteen Gallery}

Inspired by the art work of abstract American painter Sam Francis I painted 3 tribute pieces.  The first two were created in gestural madness and the last piece was hand painted and then edited in Adobe Photoshop CS5.  Francis, was inspired by the work of abstract expressionists such as Mark Rothko, Arshile Gorky and Clyfford Still  Francis began his career in Paris in the 1950s.  He passed in 1994 leaving behind a creative legacy.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT MY DREAMIN' ANYMORE


{Via: YouTube}
Once upon a time I was riding the subway home after a long day in New York (*cough* yesterday) and James Blake's, "The Wilhelm Scream" came oozing through my headphones and made the commute so much lovelier.

 Oh the power of music!

Enjoy.   X
