Brilliant portrait art by Sebastian Krueger
|As a fan of art and classic pop culture, I’d like to bring Sebastian Krueger to as many people’s attention as I can. He treats the faces of aging rock stars like they are rugged landscapes. Both fluid and precise, his paintings have the natural beauty and depth of the Grand Canyon.

Blu’s films are like M.C. Escher on acid. Fascinating as they are creepy to watch, you’ll find his shorts harder to turn away from than a 20 car pile-up. Just to be clear, when I say shorts, I’m talking about his films. Ok? Watch on and be awed.
Corpocracy: paintings by Michael D’Antuono
It’s no laughing matter how our Democracy is mutating into a Corpocracy. The government’s servitude to the limitless greed of the corporate elite is increasing the disparity in wealth and opportunity. In this video, I use my paintings to illuminate the problem and motivate people to fight back in the class warfare waged against the common man.
Dion’s new song: I Read It In The Rolling Stone
He was the wanderer, he warned everyone to keep away from Runaround Sue (today Rush Limbaugh would call her a slut), and he was just a teenager in love. Fifty-four years since his first hit record, Dion DiMucci’s chops are better than ever. Check out his song, I Read It In The Rolling Stone, from his new album, Tank Full Of Blues.

is this really what passes as ‘brilliant portrait art’ these days? These bland, emotionless copies of photographs? One only needs to look at some classical portraits to see the lifelessness inherent in more modern works like these.
Every week there is a new, technically fantastic painter like this featured on websites like yours, but they all lack soul, depth, and real feeling. It’s so disappointing.
HAVE YOUR SAY
Of his photo series — Tales From The island — New York photographer Jiri Makovec says: ‘Within the city’s rigid grid, moments of mystery and terror unveil, and are captured as a series of encounters and events. Whether the viewer is facing truth or fiction, this body of work shows the photographers’ relationship to the city’. Read more

Already with a Spectrum show under their belt, The Archerbolds are an up and coming Australian band well worth checking out. I saw the Sydney-based lads play recently at the Mars Hill Café and it was evident that they should be permanently rocking out on a real stage; not in front of coffee sippers. Their floating lyrics, smart guitar riffs and meaty bass lines are infused by The Strokes, Mars Volta, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin — ultimately producing a freshly spun modern-vintage sound. Lead vocalist and guitarist Geoffrey ‘Gep’ Rectin says The Archerbolds plan to create a solid sound for next year: ‘Over summer, we’re recording an EP and working on a set sound, defining more of an image’. If their track, Rest Your Soul, is anything to go by, then it should be pretty dandy.

I’m amazed and deeply jealous of the technical expertise of artists who can turn out these portraits. However, I don’t quite see the point. Wouldn’t the original photo be sufficient? It’s beginning to look like these clever technicians are just showing off.
