Sky
I’ve been trying to dive into the world of HD video by way of Digital SLR (I use the Canon 5DmkII), and have been searching for inspiration and motivation. Found.
Filmed in Dubai over 5 days and nights.
Shot on the Canon 7D, the Canon 5DmkII and one Panasonic GF1

Moleskine sketchbook of James Jean
There’s something intimately intriguing to me about seeing the insides of an artist’s sketchbook. Everyone loves a finished piece, of course, but sometimes I find the internal (and, in this case, external) process that leads to a completed work of art to be more interesting. I could look for hours, but here are a few of my favorites by illustrator/painter, James Jean. What attracts me most about his work is the juxtaposition of abstraction and realism, a balance I have always struggled to find in my own creative process.
Call off the search!

We love you, Tommy! You will be sorely missed, but I know you’ll kick ass out in NYC!

Penelope Umbrico
Penelope Umbrico recreates pieces using the collection of various found objects, taken out of context, and put into a new structure. This one, entitled “Embarrassing Books,” is prefaced by the following statement by the artist:
“Embarrassing Books are re-photographed details of bookcases in home-improvement and décor websites and magazines that have their books turned spine in. Only someone who is deeply embarrassed by the content of his or her books would turn them around this way – or, perhaps, these books have turned themselves this way because they are embarrassed by their owners. In the never-ending variety of perfectly appointed, vapidly flawless rooms in these virtual spaces, this refusal of content actually makes sense. Subservient to the decorative, these books have become nutrition-less, emptied of purpose and content, and erased of meaning – a sedated empty exchange which produces a valueless object from the apparition of an object of value.”

Everybody Else – New Single “First Class”
Everyone loves to support their friends’ bands, even if, in reality, they completely suck…but these guys just…don’t. Plain and simple. In fact, as much as I would normally deny my guilty pop pleasures, I will fully admit to literally breaking EBE’s self-titled debut album (on Militia Group) in half after listening to the CD so many times. Their music transcends genre, and is undeniably accessible to even the most discrete listener. Even another LA-based hard-rock/hair-band musician once said to me that if he won the lottery, he would invest his money into marketing Everybody Else. No joke.
While their music is undeniably pop, Everybody Else is far from mainstream. The LA-based trio comprised of lead singer/guitarist, Carrick Moore Gerety, bassist/vocalist, Austin James Williams, and drummer/keyboardist, Mikey McCormack, is a montage of three hardworking and talented musicians whose individual assets combine flawlessly to create their irresistible sound. Go ahead…listen to their album, and try not to listen to it again (or at least try to get their songs out of your head after you do). I double dare you.
The band has been working at writing and recording their sophomore album, and has recently released their latest single/EP, “First Class”

Also, if you’re new to EBE, check out their video of their last single, “Meat Market.”
