Brian M. Viveros Sensual Fetish Army

"Celebrated fetish artist Brian M. Viveros is internationally embraced for his erotic paintings of doe-eyed beauties with Marlboros dangling seductively from their lips and has also recently been utilizing the medium of film to capture the dark and evocative debris that radiates from his mind. His paintings are a drunken mix of oil, airbrush, acrylic, and ink. In his work Viveros shines a light on his own inner world and society at large and aims to captivate even the most jaded eyes."

Conrad Roset "Muses"

Absolute stunning work from Barcelona illustrator Conrad Roset , an explosion of sensuality and color, since ive started blogging almost 4 years ago i've traveled an infinity amount of hours through the web and have encountered countless priceless moments of creative and complete wonder, finding Conrat "Muses" is just a reward of so much work !!!!!

"I'm 27 years old. I'm an illustrator from Barcelona, Spain.
Currently work on a rage of projects for advertisment agencies, design studios and editorials. Also I'm a professor of illustration in the school of design BAU and Joso de Sabadell Clients: Zara, Adidas, Coca Cola, Skoda, Cruzcampo, Intima Cherry, Caixa Forum, Ambar, Oceano editorial, Hommu, Escletxa, Periferiaestudio, etc."

Graham Franciose

"I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a very artistic and creative family, and credit them with my decision to pursue art as a career. When I was in college getting my BFA in illustration I was trained in photo-realism; however, after noticing that everyone's work looked very similar I decided to veer off and find a style of my own. Growing up skateboarding, I was always influenced by "low-brow" and "street" artists who really inspired me to do something different." Graham Franciose

Ian Francis solo debut in New York city @ Joshua Liner Gallery

Ian Francis "Fireland"
March 3 to April 2, 2011 Joshua Liner Gallery

"Joshua Liner Gallery is pleased to present Fireland, an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by the British artist Ian Francis. This is Francis’ first one-man show at the gallery and marks his solo debut in New York.

Working in mixed media on canvas, Ian Francis combines abstraction, figuration, and elements of both painting and drawing to create distinctly contemporary works. His robust approach uses a range of techniques including acrylic, oil, charcoal, ink and graphite, all deployed in a spontaneous, seemingly off-the-cuff manner. Below this active “surface,” however, are subtle notes of melancholy, alienation and social critique, revealing a nuanced regard for contemporary mores.

Francis draws inspiration and raw material from cinema, pornography, street culture, and images sampled from the Internet, synthesizing these sources into a quasi-literal vision of the “mediated” landscape. Among the exhibition’s mixed-media paintings and selection of works on paper, a number depict urban street life and the complex interactions that occur when random souls collide. Amid high-color washes and jagged brushwork, youthful figures have a reckoning on park steps in A Boy Returns Home Not Realizing How Much He’s Changed. The cityscape is fragmented and unsettling in Walking Down a Street a Person is Crushed by Light, a poignant work that intimates the hardships faced by the elderly and other vulnerable beings among urban dwellers."

Ian Francis is one of my current favorite painters/illustrators and soon will be an interview at Audiopleasures

Sun Kil Moon aka ♥ Mark Kozelek ♥ the ex frontman from the mythical slowcore heroes Red House Painters as a new album, i loved the early Red House Painters albums, i literally drowned in Mark's imaginary figure and learned a great deal about myself with is utterly honest and detailed explanations of his emotional rollercoaster.
They split up and Mark Kozelek founded Caldo Verde records and reinvented his carrier under the moniker Sun Kil Moon which to be honest i was a never big fan, now this forth Lp is so so so good, i am extremely happy with this record because its a reminder of the early ♥ Red House Painters ♥ but also a better more mature and evolved version, its a melancholic darkly poetic river bed in which i will inevitably slowly drown again. I would say that Mark Kozelek replaced the father figure i never had on those early Red House Painter days ... thank you ...

I was a bit disappointed with myself because i could never really appreciate any of the previous Sun Kil Moon albums, "Admiral Fell Promises" is a wonderful back to back album, not a single song i don't like, and that voice ... oohhhh ... like honey dripping on my dreams

By the end of the year likely to be on my top 3 albuns of these year, Highly Recommended 10/10 Listen

The electronic Munich label founded by Michael Reinboth in 1994 had also a major importance in my first years while exploring electronic music.
It all started with early Ninja Tune, i was really drown to Jazz and beats, Trip Hop, Downtempo and then the German broken beats arrived, it was a very importante and logic shift in what i was listening at the time.
The Compost Legacy as an unbelivebel roster of talented people and some of my favroites were, Jazzanova, Beanfield, Native Force, Fauna Flash, Les Gammas, Forest Mighty Black, Rainer Truby Trio and Michael Rütten etc...
