The Fox Mythology

Posted | Views: 17,214

In pre-Christian Times the fox was seen as a symbol of gods, like for example, as a symbol of the god of vegetation or as a symbol of forest- and mountain-spirits. This changed in Christian Times, from where on the fox was seen as a demonic creature. The fox is a very famous figure in fables and usually is described as greedy, dishonest and tricky. At the same time of all the helpful animals in fairy tales the fox is said to be the most helpful one. Most fables tell about how the fox tricks other animals to get food, but no legends or fairy tales have been found telling about the fox attacking humans.

Igor Eskinja

Posted | Views: 17,411

Igor Eskinja constructs his architectonics of perception as ensembles of modesty and elegance. The artist “performs” the objects and situations, catching them in their intimate and silent transition from two-dimensional to three-dimensional formal appearance. Using simple, inexpensive materials, such as adhesive tape or electric cables and unraveling them with extreme precision and mathematical exactitude within strict spatial parameters, Eskinja defines another quality that goes beyond physical aspects and enters the registers of the imaginative and the imperceptible. The simplicity of form is an aesthetic quality that opens up a possibility for manipulating a meaning. It derives, as the artist states, from the need for one form to contain various meanings and levels of reading within itself. The tension between multiplicity and void constitutes one of the most important aspects of Eskinja’s mural “drawings” and seemingly flat installations. A void is still an active space of perception; it does not conceal; it comments on the regime of visibility, it invites the viewer to participate in the construction of an imaginary volume in an open space. The temporary nature of the artist’s spatial structures and the ephemeral quality of his carpets (where ornaments are carefully woven out of dust or ash) manifest a resistance to the dominant narratives of institutional apparatus and socio-political order.

Nails Inspired by Matthew Williamson

Posted | Views: 15,888

Beauty and fashion have always gone hand in hand -- you'll rarely find someone impeccably dressed without a great lip or trendy hairstyle to complete the look. This is why we've been keeping our eye on runway-inspired nail art designs as of late. Manicurists and bloggers alike have been pulling inspiration from the gorgeous looks spotted on the runways (everything from Prada to Roberto Cavalli) and are creating nail designs based off of those looks.

We spoke with Miss Ladyfinger herself, Taryn Multack, and she'll be creating nail designs just for us in the coming weeks. Her first, based off of Matthew Williamson's SS 2012 show, blends teals and browns seamlessly together.

Start off by applying a a teal coat of polish to your nails.

Use a thin nail art brush (can be found at your local beauty supply store) to apply a brown-gold polish in a zig zag motion horizontally along the center of the nail. This area does not have to be perfect; the point is for there to be uneven, flowing lines.

DIRTY CAR ART:

MARilyn MONROE

What do you get when you have a dirty car and a creative person around? You might see some awesome dirty car art. I am used to seeing text on cars saying "clean your car" or other obscene images or words. But, this artist (which I have no clue who she is) did this great image of Marilyn Monroe...with no reference material. Not bad, maybe this isn't the first time she has done this.

Dirty Car = Art

History of Cassette Tape

Posted | Views: 16,952

The Philips Company of the Netherlands invented and released the first compact audio-cassette in 1962. They used high-quality polyester 1/8-inch tape produced by BASF. Recording and playback was at a speed of 1.7/8 inches per second.

The next year in the U.S. sales began of the Norelco Carry-Corder dictation machine that used the new cassette tape. The consumer's demand for blank tape used for personal music-recording was unanticipated by Philips.

Dang, Who Remembers the Cassette Tape?

Yoan Capote Sculpture

Posted | Views: 18,491

The artist did molds of real bones with provenance from different dead people and after reproduced in wax each one, adjusting them and creating the representation of a new subject in that sculpture. The weight of the concrete is used like a symbolic element. Equilibrium is as a metaphor of struggle and resistance. Gravity reminds the spiritual weight that everyone supports and talks about fragility of our own life.

Mario Bros.

It's time for Mario. Enjoy.

Mario Bros.

(マリオブラザーズ Mario Burazāzu)

the arcade game published and developed by Nintendo in 1983. Mario Bros. was created by Shigeru Miyamoto and Gunpei Yokoi, two of the lead developers for the video game Donkey Kong.

Mario Bros. features two plumbers, Mario and Luigi, having to investigate the sewers of New York after strange creatures have been appearing down there.

I happend to find these 3 Mario Brothers related videos in the same day! They gave me flashbacks of the good old time of the early video arcade era in Tokyo where My dad took me to a game arcade in Tokyo Tower

At the time, Mario Bros looked totally westernized to me, I never knew that they were made by Japanese developers. (did you know?) and now I realize that maybe they could be Italian immigrant New Yorkers?

You can play updated Mario games with Nintendo Wii, Nintendo 3DS & DS. Mario Bros.
