Monstermash Kicks

...look what i found....

Science.

Crystal Caves

Modern-day mining operations exposed the natural wonder by pumping water out of the 30-by-90-foot (10-by-30-meter) cave, which was found in 2000 near the town of Delicias. A sort of south-of-the-border Fortress of Solitude, Mexico's Cueva de los Cristales (Cave of Crystals) contains some of the world's largest known natural crystals—translucent beams of gypsum as long as 36 feet (11 meters). Go ask National Geographic and watch the movies. This is really real. Finally.

Adrian Landon Brooks

Houston originated illustrator makes me want to throw my hands into the air, in the rain and just scream... and scream- and maybe cry a little bit... I was introduced to his work through a solo show of his I came upon in SF a few months back. Every so often I get this feeling that breaks me- and Adrian hits it. I own and adore a few of Adrian's darkly felt works and just want to hide them under my bed and stare at them with a flashlight all nite long. Sometimes I do. Adrian.


Thats whats up... Feel me!?

I've had this feeling...

Neon Light Therapy

In a recent google search trying to understand why neon hues didn't translate from cmyk to rgb as well as I would like them to (i know), I realized that I'm obsessed with neon. I also remembered this time I got light therapy treatment, it looked something like this...anyways! .... and then there's lazer tag, that neon phone my friend Aimee used to have that I was jealous so of. Just face it. You crave it. I do. Party at the lake.

Light it on Fire

Erika Somogyi is everything I want to see. Fire, desolation, love, lust and saturated gorgeous gradients of watercolor and ink work. The hot tub forest fire- are you kidding me?! Only in my dreams... I saw this image in a collaborated book awhile ago and snuck a pic cause I didn't feel like buying the whole book.. which is one of the best ideas for things you just want to remember. I have had this image of her work in my head For Like Ever and finally learned her name in Miami after seeing something that I thought looked familiar... hopefully when I close my eyes tonite it will all just disappear.

Rebecca Bird

Oh, ok. Here we go. So, I really did see some art at Basel in Miami, and I discovered Rebecca Bird, and re-discovered many others that somehow get lost in my mental. I think my heart just stopped. Oh wait, it just started again.. we're good... more explosions please. Thank you.

Something with Genitals

Nathan Cozzolino and Scott Barry are...

Something with Genitals.

Vampirella

In 1969 Frank Frazetta started a black and white comic book style magazine entitled Vampirella. She appeared in this magazine format throughout the 1970s. Many of these classic stories were illustrated by the legendary artist Jose Gonzalez and have remained quite popular to the present day. After a brief publishing hiatus, Vampirella returned in 1992 in a new color comic book format and since then her portrait has been re-created by many amazing fantasy artists. She is just so effing hot. I have the complete trading card collection of Vampirilla... I found it in its entirety awhile back in this vintage publication shop.... and its exquisite. Sometimes I feel like a 12 year old comic book geek.

New for You- for ME

Blood Family

Vortex

In my professional life I spend a lot of time thinking about vortices in fluids; the drag they induce and the noise they create. They are common in every-day fluid flows and yet can be quite beautiful.

In their beauty and the compelling way they seem to represent order springing from chaos, there is a trap: the unschooled or unwary can see them as either mystical or unexplained by science.

They are, of course, neither; they are entirely natural and well understood phenomena.

Technically, a vortex is fluid spinning around a centre (or core) with closed streamlines. There are two bounding cases: free (rotational) and forced (irrotational). In the former tangential velocity varies inversely with the distance from the centre. In the latter the fluid rotates like a solid body.

Shit. Wow.

Michael Jackson

Do you ever feel like just loosing your fucking mind like a 13 year old girl at a Michael Jackson concert in 1987... like just hysterical, grasping and screaming. I feel like that everyday. In a good way. I just die.

Its PeanutButta JellyTime!!!

This is what I'm really doing when I tell you I'm working. So, now you know. You're Welcome.

This is what your face..

Los Angeles-based illustrator Hannah Stouffer finds a great deal of comfort in imagery- it’s an admiration that is often times overwhelming. With an infatuation for icons that reflect historical eras, contrasts in subcultures and macabre elegance, her work is an opulent, intricate mixture of illustration and repetitive embellishment. Her densely-packed pieces consciously recall modern attractions and personal narrative, while she focuses on the outcomes that develop by merging classical imagery and current emotional and social states. Her work creates both literal and abstract compositions and luxurious contrast with a high regard for decoration.

Black Metal Logos

Really Worth Reading

Vice: So, Christophe Szpajdel, we hear that you’re the master of black-metal logos. But who are you, really?

Christophe: I am 37 years old, I come from Belgium but I live in Exeter, Devon, in the UK. In the last 20 years I have drawn more than 7,000 logos, mostly for black- and death-metal bands from all over the world, including Emperor, Moonspell, Nachtmystium, and Enthroned.

Will you stab me with a cursed, ruby-encrusted dagger if I say that I think you’re inspired by the Art Deco and Art Nouveau eras?

No. I am a big fan of Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and the Vienna Secession artists. But most important is a school of calligraphy that I created and developed. It’s called Depressiv’Moderne, and it’s a result of the merging of Art Deco, depressive dark ambient, and the actual economic depression we are in right now.
