How does your art define you?
We caught up with artist and professor Michael Booker to discuss his incredible work and his process. Michael uses a complicated process to create detailed pieces inspired by hip hop music. Click the link in the bio to watch an intriguing artist.

Hikayelerim var, iç içe geçmiş duygulardan besleniyorum. Zaman zaman karanlık tarafa gider gelirim. İşte bu yolculuklarda hikayelerimi biriktiririm. Hayat sürekli akış halinde bu yüzden kendim dahil hiç kimseyi tam anlamıyla tanıdığımı düşünmüyorum. Herkes değişir, zaman değişir ama yolculuk baki kalır. Masal kahramanları gerçektir. Ve paralel evren vardır. Hatta paralel evren dövmesi yaptırmak isterim, kendi üzerimden oraya kapı açmış gibi olurum hem. Hobilerim arasında kedileri bezdirene kadar sevmek vardır. Ve dünyanın yegane ilacı sevgidir.
Non ho motivi per alzarmi dal letto la mattina
Penso alle mille cose che dovrei fare
Poi mi chiedo per chi dovrei farle
Da quando non ci sei
Anche io ho smesso di esistere
Sento un peso enorme sulle spalle, ma allo stesso tempo non sento nulla, completamente vuoto

This interesting modern bookplate is just a liiiiittle too big for its book. The right third of the plate is not pasted down, and instead has been folded over so that the book can be closed.
Maybe this owner should have invested in smaller bookplates, but this is a pretty ingenious solution. Has anyone seen a similar example?

PYRO TWITCH PARTNER!!
I thought I would draw this on pyros latest video
Can you spot of the references on the shelves?
He liked the wip of this on Twitter too <33
You’ve been sucked in by The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze Runner, but what about the classics? These weren’t the first books to delve into the “what ifs” of dystopia. If you’re digging these societies (at least, when they’re fictional), you should check out these books.
• Fahrenheit 451. In this book, books are not allowed. If any are found, they are burned. But what happens when you find a book and you don’t have it burned? It’s an interesting take on how society views books, and the power that they can bring you.
• Brave New World. Everyone is kept happy by a society that gives them - but are they really happy? They are molded into caste-like systems and raised to do jobs. There is no competitiveness, but there is also no real freedom.
• A Clockwork Orange. A teen talks about his violent adventures and his experience being “reformed” by the state; in the process, however, they take away his free will. He is then forced to face the effects of his decisions. The book questions the cost of actions.
• The Giver. This utopia turns out to really be a dystopia, as you learn that pain has been substituted for sameness, which keeps people from feeling true emotions. It makes you question where the line is drawn to protect people.
• Atlas Shrugged. Major industrialists have abandoned their industries due to new regulations, and they then begin to fail. It asks, “What is the role of man’s mind in existence?” With a focus on objectivism and capitalism, you’ll really think on this one.
There are others out there, such as 1984 and Battle Royale, so you’ve got a lot to satiate your appetite for a dismal future.
I forgot to post it here before!
Back in October I went to watch Ian McDiarmid’s new show “The Lemon Table”. It was brilliant.
And I waited for the stage door to give him some of the prints of my drawing of his characters ⬆️. (He actually just casually walked out from the main door of the theatre. And no one was waiting there except me. (in Salisbury))
I gave him the drawings and he was definitely happy about it, and said “oh you got all of them”. (I thought to myself, I have seen many of your other works but most of them are villains in stupid criminal series or creepy minor roles, so I only choose those “decent” character to draw. (although that old faggot in “Our Hidden Lives” was not so decent at all.)
I also said to him, that I hope I could watch more of his stage work. He said there will be more!
He is such a sweetie!
And when I walked on the way back hotel, still dizzy, I encountered him again! He recognised me and said Hello to me. I am flattered.
Hope to see him on stage again!

‘Freshness’ has shifted from an organic state to an abstract, cultural sign. It’s become fluid and slippery: infusing feelings and atmosphere, products, architecture and design.
“Ever Fresh” reflects on this global currency of ‘freshness’ through installations, videos, objects and images. It will temporarily transform the gallery into a futuristic, commercial utopia—resembling those that surround us with plastic plants, sparkling surfaces and lively screens.
Exhibited artists are: Tully Arnot (AU), Kristin Cammermeyer (USA), Adham Faramawy (UK), Emily Parsons-Lord (AU), Marilyn Schneider (AU) and Kawita Vatanajyankur (THAI).

Book mood board : “Fahrenheit 451″ by Ray Bradbury (1953)
“A book is a loaded gun in the house next door…Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man?”

These days, it often seems the world has tilted on its axis: nothing is the same, we’ve broken with the past, there’s no going back. But we’ve still got an old friend kicking around—the barf bag. In these uncertain times, Hollywood’s horror filmmakers still turn to sick bags as a primo promotional gag. For there is still vomit in this realm, and still a need to contain it in the face of extreme spectacle. Cara Buckley writes: “After a moviegoer apparently vomited during a Los Angeles screening of the French coming-of-age cannibal flick, Raw, the theater began handing out barf bags … The move is a vintage publicity stunt going back some fifty years. Among the standout bags in movie history: The keepsake vomit bag from the 1963 splatter film Blood Feast came with an encouragement, ‘Spill your guts out!’ ‘Guaranteed to upset your stomach!’ proclaimed the bag from the 1981 Italian film Cannibal Ferox. The bag for The Beyond (1981) came with the thoughtfully worded warning, ‘Individuals with sensitive constitutions may experience stomach distress,’ and advised that the bag be used only once and not overfilled.”

Lost Forever
Hey guys, I’m back, I had a little reprieve from posting or even checking my blog. I wanted to address the themes of solarpunk, the direction it’s moving and if it’s considered too idealistic for our modern, cynical society.
Short Answer: Yes
Long Answer: No, not entirely
Yes, solarpunk may have optimism embedded in it, but that’s mostly to ward off despair. Despair is easy to fall into as an activist or even an entire movement, so the focus is mostly on environmental impact and restoration, mitigation of ecological collapse, etc. First and foremost however, solarpunk is a political movement and no political movement is entirely optimistic for the future, otherwise they wouldn’t exist to attempt to make a change. As a new movement, we all have to decide our direction, our appeal, etc and like I’ve said before, utopian visuals are a nice goal, but we must focus on what we can change now and not what the next generation will attempt to do down the line.
There are many things we can improve on as a movement, like drawing attention to it (either artistically or politically, preferably both), getting involved with local to state government, or even subversive action (not recommended, but very effective in certain circumstances). Whatever that can be done to push the movement into the public eye, do it, not only for yourself, but because it’s the right thing to do.
Anyway babes, that’s all from me today. This has been @punkofsunshine have a good one and stay safe.
