For this 400th posting, we’ll be serving up just a whole lot of miscellanea with the vague theme of the Homo-sapiens incredible capacity to do rad shid. SO, like any good party, lets get some tunes rockin’ and pop some mind altering drugs (drugs […]

Interntational Photo Round up From LENS.
There are seemingly less and less positive / feel-good photos being taken now-a-days, so this round up took a bit longer to collect a few images from LENS that weren’t entirely depressing. Top three from the series = 1) Oil Pipeline explosion in China 2) Bubbles bringing joy in Philippines 3) Olympic flame to Space?! Also,what a totally insane tornado path of destruction. A certain Charles Bradley song comes to mind – Listen below the gallery. BUT NO-BAHDEH – WANNA […]

Exploring Cardboard’s Potential as a Sculptural Medium.
Chris Gilmour used to build models out of cardboard as ‘rough drafts’ & mock-ups for larger scale works out of bronze, wood, & stone; when he realized that the cardboard mockups were alluring their own right. “The thing that I like is the contrast between a very poor material, and very beautiful objects, very desirable objects,” Gilmour says of his own work.

Spectacular and Spectre-esque Light-Paintings.

The Valopaja have played a role in developing specialty computer software for creating light paintings through selective light sensitivity recording….just watch the video below the gallery. The Light Paintings below are all visions from […]

Have a Terrible Guy Fawkes Day!
So….if one really looks into the whole Guy Fawkes Day / Bonfire Night history, there are quite a few ins & outs that often go overlooked – and such will continue with this posting! Well… alright will touch upon it briefly, but mainly this is just supposed to be for fun and not a big debate.
