Man on wire: The story of Philippe Petit
Standing alongside Yung Rizzle last night, faced with the question of what to watch, Russ’ recommendation of Man On Wire came to mind. Not to be confused with Denzel Washington’s 2004 action drama Man on Fire , Man on Wire tells the tale of Philippe Petit, a French high-rope artist whom in 1974 gained global notoriety for walking across the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center on a wire. Having seen the towers in a magazine six years before, walking the across quickly became Petit’s dream and obsession. Studying nearly every facet of the towers, Petit built a team of supporters to help him infiltrate, scale and walk the towers. “Life should be lived on the edge of life. - Philippe Petit

22inShare We have seen some works of art created using radiographic equipment before, but nothing that comes close to the amazing video below.

Impermanent Sand Paintings by Andres Amador
San Francisco-area landscape artist Andreas Amador etches massive sand drawings onto beaches during full moons when his canvas reaches its largest potential.

The works exist for only a few moments, just long enough to snap a few photographs before being completely engulfed by the encroaching tide.
What It Really Means To Be A Working Musician
Takin' what they givin' 'cause I'm workin' for a livin' As the title of this blog suggests, I pride myself on being a working musician.

I Have A Job – Just Like You Artists often like to talk about the time we quit our “day job”. In that same Hypebot post I linked to above, Suzanne Lainson of Brands Plus Music laid out her ideas about how “most non-famous full-time musicians make a living”. Art Vs. I’m Always Working
