Edwin Mcswine: Always remember to pay homage to those who came before you

Edwin Mcswine: Always remember to pay homage to those who came before you

“There’s nothing new under the sun.” How many times have we heard that? Too many to put a number on, but theres a reason why; it’s true. It’s true that history repeats itself. Put an old man in new clothes, he’s still an old man. Because this is true, so...Read more

Urban Attic Atl: This typically happens after I have awakened from a deep sleep, hence my title Dream Journals

Not everything is about being in touch with your emotions or manifesting the idiosyncrasies of blah blah blah. Some art is just about, catching the eye, and being the one thing that you’ll take home at the end of the day thinking… “That was dope, that was the most interesting thing...Read more

ForteBowie: I know what it takes, I’m just taking the mandatory steps

Got a call from my dude Snare Jordan from Cherub a couple weeks ago and he was telling me about the new music he’s been listneing to and working on. ForteBowie… Who?… ForteBowie. I trust Snare’s opinon so I checked out his latest project Something About Bowie and I knew...Read more
Kirby Lauryen: I won’t be a complete person until I learn how to be on the other side of love

Kirby Lauryen: I won’t be a complete person until I learn how to be on the other side of love

One thing about me… I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to music; songwriting especially. That’s why this is probably my favorite feature thus far; because Kirby Lauyren is not just a great voice, but an excellent songwriter and all-around talent. In any craft, consistency is the name of the game....Read more
D. Lammie Hanson: Visual Art became my loud silent partner who spoke for my soul when I couldn’t

D. Lammie Hanson: Visual Art became my loud silent partner who spoke for my soul when I couldn’t

Personally I think it would have been unfair of me to put any other picture in place of this one to serve as the introduction of our latest feature D Lammie Hanson. It’s just that this one sums her up better than any other to me… She’s an artist. My...Read more
Gem Club: I think it is just being comfortable with yourself and your ideas that makes you a better artist

Gem Club: I think it is just being comfortable with yourself and your ideas that makes you a better artist

252 is by far my favorite song from Gem Club. I’ve been consistently listening to their music lately and it’s served as the soundtrack to much soul-searching and problem solving for me. The band consists of Christopher Barnes on piano and vocals; Kristen Drymala on cello; and Ieva Berberian providing additional vocals....Read more
Shellton Tremble: LOVE is the embodiment of all creation. It is the ‘force’ of attraction and purpose wrapped in the power of infinity!

Shellton Tremble: LOVE is the embodiment of all creation. It is the ‘force’ of attraction and purpose wrapped in the power of infinity!

Dope right? Wait until you see more of Shellton Tremble’s artwork which he calls “So True”. The work speaks volumes, but if you really read what he has to say behind all of what you see, then you’ll realize that Shellton has a true appreciation of his gift as well...Read more

Katarzyna Gajewska... With insight you can make the world see; without it, you're blind

Katarzyna Gajewska… With insight you can make the world see; without it, you’re blind

Today’s labor of love comes at you from Warsaw, Poland in the form of some really, really unique work. I must say, I look at art just about everyday, and even I did not really know how to receive these works. To be even more honest, alot of Katarzyna Gajewska’s work flat out scared the...

18/S: Someone approached me once and asked if this film was about a transvestite... I couldn't argue with that.

18/S: Someone approached me once and asked if this film was about a transvestite… I couldn’t argue with that.

What you’re about to see is unlike anything you’ve seen in a long time. It truly is what you make it, but you will make it something. Eighteen Slash Stainless (18/S) A film by Seb Som.  The thoughts and impulses narrated in 18/S are very dark. I mean that in the sense of privacy and nature,...

Assouline: The Impossible Car Collection

Assouline: The Impossible Car Collection

“Our ethic is aesthetic.” With boutiques in N.Y., Vegas, Costa Mesa, Italy, Istanbul, and Paris, it’s hard to argue with Assouline Publishing Inc. The luxury book company has positioned themselves in rare air by following one clear purpose, “whereas other firms present themselves as curators of culture, Assouline seeks to be an engine of culture.”...

House Painting... A Hilariously Awkward Spiritual Awakening

House Painting… A Hilariously Awkward Spiritual Awakening

After a late night of Twitter advertising and sifting through our vimeo video suggestions; I found a hilarious short film that’s absolutely worth the 11 minutes called House Painting. It’s about Larry, a young boy who finds spiritual awakening and guidance in the most odd of places. That place is none other than the chain-smoking,...

Beats, Rhymes, and Life

I know… I’m a little late to be posting about this just now, especially since I saw this last year. But who cares, it’s classic- and classic is timeless. It’s bigger than rap, it’s hip hop, it’s culture. Culture is the platform that A Tribe Called Quest made into their playground, that’s why to this day...

Sports=Art

Sports=Art

What makes something artistic? Better yet, what is art made of? Is it hard work and dedication; creativity and imagination? Or is it spontaneity and instinct; study and calculation. The truth is, it’s all of that and more, just at different times. There’s no one solid definition for art besides that art, IS.  However, a...

Yuna: Live Your Life

Yuna: Live Your Life

 I like this track by Yuna. Not because it’s produced by Pharrell which is a plus, but because it’s so chill but upbeat at the same time. It’s a really good blend of the two opposites. Yuna is a newcomer from Malaysia whose very talented and true to the art of music by all means. Check...

Patience is a virtue Daley

Patience is a virtue Daley

Today’s ear candy comes from an artist who is really fresh to the game but handles himself very well. 30,000 downloads to his debut EP humbly titled, Those Who Wait; and two strong singles, one of which features former Floetry vocalist Marsha Ambrosius. He writes, plays, and does well live, which are all keys to...
