Textural collages by Derek Gores
The beauty of our digital age is access. I don’t recall exactly how I found the work of Derek Gores. Regardless, I am grateful. His rich, textural collages succeed in bringing another dimension to his subject, whether it’s a shoe or a person. Beyond the work, he also teaches workshops and is open about sharing his techniques and style with those interested.

The first time I gazed upon the work of Neo Rauch, I wrote him off as ‘meh’.

Driven by a wide spectrum of influences, the music of Brass Bed moves easily through an eclectic mix of genres: from alt-country ballads and progressive rock hooks, to sticky-sweet, heart-felt lyrics, and dissonant experimental freak-outs. As some wise folk have noted, it’s kinda like a cross between The Beach Boys and The Flaming Lips. Now, how could that be a bad thing? We have two of their songs — Olivia [listen below] and Polar Bird — available for free download in the Music Download section in the third column of Lost At E Minor.
