Pin-Up Girls Before and After II, 1950s

Kaleidoscopic Compositions by Andy Gilmore A master of color and geometric composition, Andy Gilmore’s work is often characterized as kaleidoscopic and hypnotic, though it could just as well be described as visually acoustic, his often complex arrangements referencing the scales and melodies in music. Gilmore’s journey toward this masterful style followed a long and winding road. He characterizes his pursuit of education as a tangled web, noting the bookstores, bakeries, and theaters where he worked were of more importance than the schools he attended in pursuit of his BFA, which he received from SUNY Empire State College. After finishing school, Gilmore relocated to San Clemente, California, where he took up work for FourStar Distribution, resizing print ads for C1RCA Footwear and Forum Snowboards.

Messy Nessy Chic The Town that spent 25 Years Underwater This is Villa Epecuen, an old tourist town south of Buenos Aires that spent a quarter of a century underwater. Established in the 1920s on the banks of a salt lake, the town was home to over 5,000 residents and a holiday destination to thousands more vacationers from the Argentinian capital. In 1985, a dam burst and buried the town in 33 feet of salt water, rendering it a modern-day Atlantis. In 2009, the waters began to recede and what emerged resembles an apocalyptic world. Evenly-spaced dead trees still line what used to be streets, rusty bed frames poke out from concrete rubble and sign posts point to nowhere. Amazingly, one resident remained in this desolate place.

Джек Рэдклифф 37 лет из жизни Элисон Американский фотограф Джек Рэдклифф (Jack Radcliffe) документирует жизнь своей дочери Элисон с момента ее появления на свет в больнице Балтимора в 1975 году. «Когда родилась Элисон, в традициях отцовства я начал фотографировать ее, — рассказывает Рэдклифф. — Это позволило запечатлеть этапы ее взросления. Ее рождение сильно повлияло на мои снимки, я начал интересоваться силой отношений между людьми, используя зачастую для этого личное окружение.

Lackadaisy Expressions - StumbleUpon Boy, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this. I've had requests for some sort of expressions tutorial dating back a while now, so I figured, "Sure! I can explain expression drawing...and it'll be way better than all those tutorials out there that are nothing but charts of generic expressions. Yeah! Just give me a day or two to whip something up..." Um. Anyway, I found all I could really do was try to explain ways to teach yourself...and then add some pictures.
