Meet Dead Man's Bones: Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields. Pictured: Zach Shields, Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir, Ryan Gosling An Oscar-nominated Hollywood heartthrob and his best friend round up a bunch of instruments-- some of which they don't know how to play-- and a massive children's choir and make a concept album about the supernatural. Seems like a recipe for disaster, right? Guess again. Meet Dead Man's Bones, a collaboration between actors Ryan Gosling (Half Nelson, The Believer, The Notebook) and Zach Shields. The duo plan to release their debut album, Never Let a Lack of Talent Get You Down, on their own label, Werewolf Heart, this summer. You might have seen their MySpace page, or a video for their song "In the Room Where You Sleep" floating around the web recently. In the clip, Gosling and Shields lead a bunch of kids, all dressed in Halloween costumes, through a spare acoustic lament.

Earlier this week, Gosling and Shields gave Pitchfork their first-ever interview about Dead Man's Bones. JTB-Photography.com. 22 Lost Photos From The '80s L.A. Hardcore Scene.

Growing up can be a challenge, especially in the teenage years. Some people use writing or art as a creative outlet for all the emotions they keep inside. Sebastian Eriksson is an 18-year-old up-and-coming surrealist artist living in Sweden. Not only is his artwork amazing, it's extremely thought-provoking as he adds descriptions of how his pieces relate to his life. For instance, in the piece above, he states: "This is another paradox that I've been working on for a couple of days. And for the piece immediately below: "One day I felt like I was lost and I had too much things to think about. We've all felt like Sebastian, but most of us do not have the talent to draw how we feel. Self-portrait of the artist Sebastian Eriksson's website. 50 works of art you should see before you die.

In 1912 the city of Tokyo, Japan, gave Washington, D.C., a beautiful gift of 3,000 cherry blossom trees. This year celebrates the 100th anniversary of that gift. Make cherry blossom artwork with a recycled 2-liter soda bottle as a stamp! Here are the detailed instructions. Start by using dark paint to paint a branch on poster board. I cut this piece of poster board in half lengthwise because I want it to look more like an art panel than a poster. Once the branch is painted, let it dry before continuing with the stamping. Now let’s do the stamping. The bottom of 2-liter soda bottle has five points like the five petals of a cherry blossom. Press the plastic bottle on the poster board, then lift up. Blade Runner In Watercolor. Shulamith Koenig - Exhibition of Sculptures at NYC's ET Modern. Posted by Ray | 1 Jun 2011 | Comments (0) Shulamith Koenig is perhaps best known for her activism as the founding president of PDHRE, the People's Movement for Human Rights Learning (formerly known as the People's Decade for Human Rights Education), which she founded in 1989.

Yet at some point between her two-decade career as an industrial engineer (with a focus on water conservation) and her ongoing human rights activism, Koenig found time to create a fascinating (and largely overlooked, if Google is any indication) body of work as a sculptor. Aesthetically, the work falls somewhere between David Smith and Louise Nevelson—the reference points are perhaps inescapable, insofar as Koenig assembles largely abstract forms out of found objects—but there is another, less obvious meaning to her sculptural forms. In 1982, in an old farm in upstate New York, Shulamith Koenig found a trove of foundry wooden patterns and molds, hand carved by artists over a century ago.

Lambert made international news after the 2008 US election with The New York Times “Special Edition,” a replica of the “paper of record” announcing the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and other good news. Steve’s projects and art works have won awards from Prix Ars Electronica, Rhizome/The New Museum, the Creative Work Fund, Adbusters Media Foundation, the California Arts Council, and others.

The Downtown Art Walk last week was a lot of fun once again. This time I walked around a bit more and spent some time perusing some of the galleries, and I realized just how absurdly out of place my illustrations are amidst most of the other work. Of course, that actually makes it more fun. After seeing dozens of oil paintings of horses or art school caliber "abstract installations" of painted bicycle parts hanging from ceilings, no one's expecting to see cereal mascots and dead children, so the reactions are often priceless. 2. 3. 4.
