Nostalgia


"Nostalgia - it's delicate, but potent. Teddy told me that in Greek, 'nostalgia' literally means 'the pain from an old wound.' It's a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn't a spaceship, it's a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards... it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It's not called the wheel, it's called the carousel. It let's us travel the way a child travels - around and around, and back home again, to a place where we know we are loved."
-Mad Men episode 113, "The Wheel"

Emotive line quality, gangly elongated limbs, and sinewy features. I love them all. Schiele, Klimt - and now Danny Roberts.

The Fun Theory

"This site is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better."
damn right.

sometimes there's so much beauty in the world i feel like i cant take it, like my hearts going to cave in.

 Entomologist/Artist Christopher Marley makes geometric, kaleidoscopic arrangements of insects.  I am particularly frothing over the butterflies.  Nothing is manipulated and if you have eyes you aren't reading this...feast your eyes.

Eclectic Method: sensory overload

If youre not being stimulated enough listening to music or you need a rush to your head and want to go mentally numb, Eclectic Method creates the ultimate sensory overload experience creating,  "audio-visual mash-ups featuring television, film, music and video game footage sliced and diced into blistering, post-modern dance floor events. It’s a cyclone of music and images mashed together in a world where Kill Bill fight scenes and Dave Chappelle’s Rick James rants are ingeniously cut and looped over bootleg samples, DVD scratches and pumped-up dance anthems."  Finally! Music should always include visual counterparts that are in sync with and complement the sound- not these dim music videos with long winded cheesy story lines.  Watch below.
