marilyn prints

Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a key figure in Pop Art, an art movement that emerged in America and elsewhere in the 1950s to become prominent over the next two decades.

The Fauves used non-representational color and representational form to convey different sensations. Apply the same idea to the portrait of Marilyn Monroe below, using the controls to adjust the colors. How does the color affect the mood?

the vulture gallows lyrics

When you work for the father
Your sin is never saved
You carry the net,
and he holds the spade.
You will drag the lakes
And he will rob the graves.
You will be remembered.
No-one will speak your name.

Live by the sword.
Die for the lord.
Call down the vulture
To dine on the corpse.

Cursed are the places you have been,
You lead us there and forced us in..
Take the girls
to become the daughters.
If the horses wont drink
drown them in the water.

When you work for the father
Your sin is never saved
You carry the net,
and he holds the spade.
You will drag the lakes
And he will rob the graves.
You will be remembered.
No-one will speak your name.

Live by the sword.
Die for the lord.
Call down the vultures
To dine on the corpse.

Cursed are the places you have been,
You lead us there and forced us in..
Take the girls
to become the daughters.
If the horses wont drink
drown them in the water

Enter shikari lyrics.

Help!
the air turns black, the birds drop from the sky.
This eagle has landed,
I'm choking on your pride

And the walls are closing in,
And you don't appreciate that in my hands tonight, is where your fate lies
Her face drains...

[Stand] Stand up, take a bow you have, no reason to celebrate
[You're] You're lost in a labyrinth, scream now it's not too late...

Help!
the air turns black, the birds drop from the sky.
This eagle has landed,
I'm choking on your pride

And the walls are closing in,
And you don't appreciate that in my hands tonight, is where your fate lies
Her face drains...

[Stand] Stand up, take a bow you have, no reason to celebrate
[You're] You're lost in a labyrinth, scream now it's not too late...

Nothing seems to break the walls down, break the walls, down...
Nothing seems to break the walls down, break the walls, down...

We'll break the walls!
We'll break the walls!
We'll break the walls, down!

We'll break the walls!
We'll break the walls!
We'll break the walls, down!

[Well it looks like the end is nigh for our friends here, he's finding it hard to keep his head, especially with all these girls SCREEEAMING in his ear. We've got to ask ourselves do they deserve this? If anyone has anything to sa let them speak now or forever hold their peace.]

Yeah, stand! Will he make it out?
Hope he makes it out!
He's gonna make it out!
He's gotta make it out!

[Stand] Stand up!

[You're] You're lost!

In a labyrinth!

I find this artists brush technique to be quite incredible, It almost looks like burn marks.

francis bacon

I'm not to fond this kind of work, it's interesting. the brush tones and techniques this artist used is quite nice and how the color of the person and the color of the backgrounds relate to each other. The face on the man is an interesting on, it's quite abstract.

I love how this artist did the water, how he used tones and simple shapes to reflect the ships onto the water.

Godspeed you black emperor " dead flag blues"

The car is on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel

And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides

And a dark wind blows

The government is corrupt

And we're on so many drugs

With the radio on and the curtains drawn

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine

And the machine is bleeding to death

The sun has fallen down

And the billboards are all leering

And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

It went like this:

The buildings tumbled in on themselves

Mothers clutching babies

Picked through the rubble

And pulled out their hair

The skyline was beautiful on fire

All twisted metal stretching upwards

Everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful -

These are truly the last days"

You grabbed my hand

And we fell into it

Like a daydream

Or a fever

We woke up one morning and fell a little further down

For sure it's the valley of death

I open up my wallet

And it's full of blood

pj harvey "down by the water lyrics"

I lost my heart under the bridge
That little girl
So much to me
And now I moan, and now I holler
She'll never know just what I found
That blue-eyed girl she said no more
And that blue-eyed girl became blue -eyed whore
Down by the water I took her hand
Just like my daughter
See her again

Oh, help me Jesus come through this storm
I had to lose her to do her harm
I heard her holler, I heard her moan
My lovely daughter
I took her home

Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water
Come back here, man, give me my daughter
Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water
Come back here, man, give me my daughter

With his breadth of passion for modern culture, freelance designer and illustrator Mike could have embraced any number of professional avenues – but he knew that design was his calling. “Prior to entering the Design Essentials programme at Emily Carr University, I had finished my bachelor degree, majoring in English literature, at the University of British Columbia,” Mike explains of the background that led him to design. “I’m classically trained in the piano and the tenor saxophone. My passion has always been art and music, and as soon as I developed a better understanding of what graphic design was really about, the more I felt that it was a natural transition for me.”

Once in a Dream “I wanted to capture the surreal quality of dreams,” Mike says of this piece. To do this, he worked in Photoshop and Illustrator, scanning in sketches before tracing and colouring them, and creating Photoshop brushes from everything from flowers and trees to clouds.

“Ever since I was a kid I’ve been involved with photography, thanks mainly to my dad, who’s a photographer in Germany,” Enis explains. “The inspiration from my dad was one of the biggest reasons I decided to study something in the creative field.”

Thus, from 2003 to 2006, Enis took a course in graphic design, while also working as a freelance designer. He is currently art director at Parasol Island, a Dusseldorf production company for film, animation and interactive media.

He says much of his inspiration comes from the fashion and music industries: “For example, I always take a look at fashion magazines or walk to the fashion stores in Dusseldorf, or just walk through the city and listen to music.” The result is a mixture of design, motion graphics and illustrations with a very contemporary feel, a mix between minimal or bold shapes combined with photos and bright colours.

She A personal project created after a photoshoot session with the model Miss Morina. Enis felt the original image needed a little something extra, so he created the triangles that are flying around the model.

Born in Syria, Kode Abdo moved to Australia with his family aged one, where he started drawing – and he hasn’t really stopped since. In fact, his love of art was so overwhelming that his schoolwork suffered and he eventually dropped out. “I found a job here and there but was never happy,” he says. “I felt like I should be doing something I love.”

Not long after, a friend introduced Abdo to Photoshop, saying: “This is where the modern-day da Vinci works.” Unsurprisingly, he became hooked and immediately transferred to digital art, initially producing images for free. “I’m so proud of my first payment,” he adds. “I still have it to this day – an old $20 bill.”

Nowadays, Abdo is trying to grow his studio, Bosslogic, and has also taken up photography, “so I can get the image I want to manipulate and get the outcome I want.”

Gamble “The Ace card is dead,” Abdo says of this image. “Graphic design and art in general is like poetry – it may rhyme and flow all together or it might not. All it needs is a valid point.”

Any creative who holds the venerable Stefan Sagmeister as a paradigm of design finesse is setting their standards high. Luckily, fellow Austrian David Mascha is showing signs of the kind of creative talent it takes to achieve such an iconic status.

“Maybe in some way it’s my diversity,” says Mascha, explaining the myriad of styles he works in. “I always try to push the boundaries of my technical and aesthetical skills; I don’t try to stick with one particular style.” This is evident from his portfolio, which displays a multitude of artworks, all strung together through his experimental approach to colour.

“But there’s not always a special concept behind my work – sometimes I just try to create something beautiful which captures the viewers’ attention,” says Mascha.

Adhesion Mascha’s personal work is often experimental, such as this three-dimensional composition. “I really like the clean and polished style I ended up with. I also like the way photo and illustrative elements harmonise with each other.”

What i am, I am art.

I'm very much like a sculpter, like an artist with paper. Body building is an art form and i am my work of art. I craft myself day by day, Week by week, month by month, year by year. I don't do it to look good, I do it to look in the mirror and see what i've achieved. the only difference between me and an artist is i physically become the art.

Gorillas in films and books and gorillas in reality.

Myth: Gorillas are bloodthirsty and violent

Fact: Gorillas are gentle and often timid. They are frequently fearful of new situations and prefer to leave an uncomfortable situation rather than engage in a fight.

Myth: Male gorillas are aggressive and dangerous.

Fact: While certainly able to defend themselves if threatened, male gorillas have been known to adopt young orphaned gorillas. They mediate aggression between female gorillas and are remarkably patient and tolerant with youngsters. Young gorillas use adult males like a playground, sliding down their backs, and even practice drumming sounds using Dad's back. Jambo, an adult male at the Jersey Zoo in the UK, protected a five-year-old human boy who fell into his enclosure.

Myth: Males beat their chests in anger

Fact: "Chest beating" can mean many things. It is a way to release emotional energy. It can be used to intimidate rivals or to impress potential mates. Modified chest beating is also used during play. Males don't pound their chests with their fists, instead, they cup their hands and make a "pok, pok, pok" sound by rhythmically drumming under their chest muscles.

Myth: Gorillas weigh 800 pounds

Fact: Gorillas are the largest of all the primates, but the size of adult males has been wildly exaggerated. Most adult males weigh between 350 to 450 pounds. Adult females are about half the size of adult males. Newborn gorillas usually weigh about 5 pounds.

Myth: Gorillas in captivity are brought from Africa

Fact: It has been illegal to capture wild great apes and bring them into captivity for more than 30 years. No responsible zoo or wildlife facility would participate in this practice.

Myth: Gorillas are plentiful in Africa

Fact: All gorillas are highly endangered and populations are declining at alarming rates. Extinction is possible for gorillas in the near future. Threats include habitat destruction from commercial logging, commercial hunting to support "bush meat" (some people eat gorilla meat), and conflict over land use with people.
