Polish artist Jacek Yerka was born in 1952. The two of his mothers and fathers are artists, so he grew up with the scent of paint and surrounded by paper, ink, paints and brushes. Yerka was thinking about studying astronomy or medicine, but identified paint appropriate before his last test and thus entered the mysterious entire world of colors. The artist was mostly inspired by XV century Dutch tablet paintings.
Released on 11 July 2015, the new EP from the Canadian project eyeswithoutaface brings brutality to the next level. Their rough and contorted mixture of post-industrial electronics with sludge/black/death metal leave the listener without any option, but to love or hate this sonic slaughter. Extreme metal at its best!! Related to Malhavoc, Godflesh and other alike oddities, eyeswithoutaface was formed in 2009 in Toronto, Canada, comprised of current members of Homolka, Kosmograd, John XII, Ancress and more.
They avowed that they are “somewhat inspired by a broad range of artists both within and outside of the doom/sludge, post-industrial, electronic and hip hop genres, and are sometimes compared to artists such as Godflesh, Nine Inch Nails, Swans, Red Harvest and Genghis Tron.”
And their music it’s quite complex and disturbing. I wrote about their debut album “Monotoneoteny” back in 2011 and they made it to my list of favorite releases of the year. They have something of their own and they explore musical places where nobody else dared to drift before. Sometimes this make the journey difficult, but keep it exciting throughout.

Think about all the uses you have for duct tape, masking tape, electrical tape, and packing tape, but we are confident you never thought of the use that Mark Khaisman did. Mark creates remarkable portraits out of packing tape. Mark weaves together layers of packing tape, using depth and direction of the layers to produce coloration and depth in the images. The results are stunning. The portraits have a colorful appearance similar to old tintype photographs, but with a patchwork feel to them, also. Mark does not stop with portraits. He creates wall sculptures featuring chairs, armor, and many other objects all created with packing tape.
You might believe anything can be fixed with a roll of duct tape and baling wire, but Mark Khaisman knows he can create almost any scene with just a simple roll of packing tape.
Dragons used to be part of life in many cultures. In Chinese culture, people worship dragon for rain and better weather for good harvest. An Emperor has great power as he’s considered as the incarnation of dragon. In Japanese culture the dragon is also a symbol of supernatural powers. That’s why dragon tattoo is loved by most of oriental people. For them, dragon represents strength, courage, wisdom, protector of their loved ones.
In Western cultures, dragons tend to be portrayed as embodiments of evil that destroy villages and guard hoards of treasure. In modern fantasy literature, dragons are often depicted as friends of man and as highly intelligent and noble creatures.
Due to its symbolic meanings, dragon tattoo is mostly inked on backs, side, arms. It’s also seen on legs, feet and hands.
Another clever art form is coming, that is album cover art. The visual pioneer is Christian Marclay. As for Marclay, I think most of us know him because of his music. Right, he is a famous DJ and composer who firstly uses gramaphone records and turntables as musical instruments to create sound collage. While besides, he likes collecting record covers of Michael Jackson, Doors, Donna Summer, David Bowie and many others to re-join new pieces. Christian Marclay might just take Bowie and put him together with MJ or the Black Eyed Peas. No sexism from his side, ladies are caught up in the mix as well. The following are some work from him. I’m they will give a fresh visual effect.

Rush is one of the most exciting and creative rock band on Earth and the standard for any music trio.
Bassist, keyboardist, and lead vocalist Geddy Lee; guitarist and backing vocalist Alex Lifeson; and drummer, percussionist, and lyricist Neil Peart left a remarkable mark behind.
Over the course of their amazing career, Rush has lived a lifetime together, providing an influential soundtrack to many of their fans’ lives. Some have been with them since the start, while others have discovered them along the way and delved into their incredible body of work. To quote Dave Grohl from their momentous induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, “Rush built their following the right way. No hype, no bullsh*t, they did it from the ground up. Their legacy is incredible and their influence undeniable.” Read more The Spirit Of Radio [Digitally Yours – Rush Cover]
Julie Heffernan creates sensuous figurative painting, like co-Yale MFAS, John Currin and Linda Yuskavage, but her luminous oils are patently unique among them and most working artists today. A Victorian impetus to conjoin, edging toward pastiche, creates artfully staged Surrealist environments. Read more The vibrant world of Julie Heffernan
