Doll Face. Apocalipsis (Derek Chatwood Sharks) Derren Brown: Apocalypse Episode 1. When Sharks Fly: Year Two Art Prints by Derek Chatwood. Inspiration for the Week #7 – Dan Mumford. Dan Mumford is a well respected artist whose design work was introduced to me by a friend, about a year ago.

Inspiration for the Week #7 – Dan Mumford

I remember being amazed and dumbfounded by the dark style and intricacy of his illustrations. What recently perked my interest again in Mumford (not that I ever forgot about him) was that I discovered he does the prints of his artwork himself, in his London based studio. You can see his screen printing methods in his news feed, for band promotional poster prints including the Gallows and The Black Dahlia Murder. He prints a limited number, so I snapped up two of his Gallows prints this afternoon, for myself and a friend. You can purchase prints through his website. A lot of Dan’s work is band based, getting a lot of recognition for his work with Gallows on their album cover a few years ago. Below you can see some of my favourites from his collection. Day Dream A Day to Remember – Homesick Ford Birds Gallows – In the Belly of the Shark Gallows – Orchestra of Wolves.

Light. Star. Are we really all made of stardust? We are all made of stardust.

Are we really all made of stardust?

It sounds like a line from a poem, but there is some solid science behind this statement too: almost every element on Earth was formed at the heart of a star. Next time you’re out gazing at stars twinkling in the night sky, spare a thought for the tumultuous reactions they play host to. It’s easy to forget that stars owe their light to the energy released by nuclear fusion reactions at their cores. These are the very same reactions which created chemical elements like carbon or iron - the building blocks which make up the world around us. After the Big Bang, tiny particles bound together to form hydrogen and helium. This reaction continues in stars today as lighter elements are converted into heavier ones. During a supernova, when a massive star explodes at the end of its life, the resulting high energy environment enables the creation of some of the heaviest elements including iron and nickel.

Three-Dimensional Geometric Light Paintings

Williams, who is originally from Canada, founded the group Fiz-iks, which is based in Japan. The group explores fascinating locations throughout the architecturally rich country, redefining its surroundings. Equipped with various LED and xenon flashlights, the artist exemplifies his mastery of the meticulous art by producing sharp 3D light sculptures with regard to the rest of the image. It is absolutely incredible the way Williams reinterprets an environment by adding his own illuminated depth and without disrupting the photographic angle or the validity of a space. The assorted Japanese backdrops add an interesting element to Williams' photos—whether it's outside, in front of a temple, or indoors, in an abandoned warehouse.
