Bursting with Life

A hidden star in the dark world of deviantART, Micko-Vic is a light that anyone would want to follow.  Unfortunately elusive, I found it hard to research any real information on this mystery man (or woman).  What I've found is that Vic is an artist from Serbia who has studied culinary arts for a hobby (perhaps shedding light on his fantastic ability with a palette knife).  His distinct style is eye-catching to say the least with it's vibrant colors, bold strokes and dazzling sceneries.  His talent effectively captures the life in the bustling streets he paints, leaving the audience wanting more but being satisfied at the same time.

"This blog is about fashion and everything that inspires it, such as art, design, nature, photography & many more. I like to pick beautiful fashion related pictures and match them with photos that I find related to them for different reasons, for instance colours, shapes, sensations, concept."

This blog started by Italian art-student Bianca Luini has been one of my favorite escapes in the past few weeks.  Luini finds beautiful fashion-related photographs and pairs them with (shockingly compatible) photographs of anything and everything in the world.  Whether it be a piece of nature, a man made building or a stray object, she successfully finds two shots that work delightfully well together to create a single comprehensive piece.

Wrapped up.

I will be the first to admit that I've been lazy with my blog posts by posting videos (still high quality work) instead of full collections of photos.  Here is my apology in the form of Ukrainian photographer Vadim Stein. 

Stunning.

RESONATING HOOK

RAW LYRICS
#ParisIsBurning - March 25, 2014 

Most artists would stop there, but not Chancellor Warhol.
A a dancer, digital designer and film enthusiast I appreciate nothing more than the combination of different artistic elements.

A man who truly cares about quality over quantity, Warhol takes his craft to the next level.  This visual experience successfully supplements the song by flashing eccentric details and branding them into your mind, while keeping the overall look clean and sharp.  Everything in this video is intentional; the fashion, venue, clips, photos, colors, sounds -- it's like a box of perfectly handpicked chocolates from across the world with different centers, all complimenting one another to create a delicate, rich, and flawless experience.

Kudos to Casey Culver whomever you are.
And continue doing you Chancellor Warhol.

Cover me with music.

Oh Grey's you've done it again.

If you know me, you know that I am one of the most loyal Grey's Anatomy fans in the world.  I have followed this series since I was a pre-teen, all the way up to the latest episode which aired 03/06/14.  And although I could go into the details of this season-changing episode, I will refrain and get straight to the point of this blog post;  

THE MUSIC.

Grey's Anatomy is famous for picking up cover bands and less-known musical geniuses and making them huge via their show.

Remember Ingrid Michaelson's The Chain and The Weepies World Spins Madly On?*

The show also immortalized Keane's Somewhere Only We Know and Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars by using them as exceptionally placed soundtracks within a riveting story-line.  We all know that once you tie an emotion to a song, the song will never be the same again...

We've seen countless success stories emerge from this show, and the latest episode delivers some more. These are brand new songs from rising artists, so we're going to have to overlook the pathetic and painfully unartistic videos.

Powerful. Different. Gritty.

Don't You Want Me (Original by Human League)

Haunting. Enchanting. Beautiful.

* And we can never forget this beautiful animation set to The Weepies' song can we?  "Thought of you" -- holding on strong as my favorite ever short animation clip.
