Art You Might Hate: Charlie Crane Visits Pyongyang, North Korea

Charilie Crane’s photo-documentary of North Korea’s capital is currently blowing up the internet [figuratively, grammar czars]. It’s listed in this segments Art You Might Hate because I don’t think there isn’t an artist on planet Earth [and segments of Mars] that isn’t envious of the ‘guided experience’ Crane captured.

Below are more photos and a link to more info about how Crane was able to pull this off.

Art You May Hate: Jenny Burrows The Art Director

More Like Historically Gangsta...[yeah...that was bad]

By the time you read this, Jenny Burrows has already 'blown up' on the internet. I was sitting on this link for about at week then seen Reddit and Twitter trending her work. So consider this post a small drop in a bucket of people who love her work.

It seems quite hip that Smithsonian would be cool with such contemporary blends, but...here we are.

Creative Music + Creative Videos[Updated]

Two Weeks

Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks

Thanks to the rag tag bunch behind EpicFU for hipping me to most of this new heap of new videos and music. I don't have cable...and even if I did, I don't think I'd be watching music videos. Do they still show music videos on MTV/BET?

Artist O' The Day - Justin Aerni

Man...i'm very close to puking right now...

In the spirit of Halloween, what would this years peak Autumn Holiday [HA! Take that Thanksgiving Day] be without some eerie and creepy visuals.  Justin Aerni is an awesome photography, but I had NO idea he was into sculptures as much as he was/is! More specifically, baby heads? And the many variations of said baby heads.

After The Jump [his site] and more baby heads!

Stop Frame Animator Makes an HD Movie The Old Fashioned Way

Light-Paint Piano Player from Ryan Cashman on Vimeo.

In lieu of me posting the new, fancy HD-movie ready D-SLR cameras; I thought it would be a good change of pace to show what can still be down with 'old technology' D-SLRs. I don't think I have to say how freaking difficult this is, but just in case...does anybody remember the California Raisin's commercials? Well those were actual built models...this guy, Ryan Cashman has a series of 20-30 second exposures, where in he lines them up and editted them into one movie which has his own music in it.  How's that for inspiring?  I believed he used a Canon Digital Rebel as well.

NSFW? - Bell End Artist Vid

Guys I really try and keep it PG [-13] on this blog.  It's tough...i want to let go sometimes with a big f**k or s**t.  Seeing as I use crude and crass language in my personal life, I figured this could be a place where I could walk the line.  Here we have what could be considered 'crude drawings', but if you take a step back...you can really see an element of genius.

Thank you Sean Elliot's Twitter

and Thank You LordStanley and all viewers of this magical clip.
