This is a piece of art by M.C. Escher that I really like. His art is very interesting to me, and I like how the hands look like they are coming to life but are completely drawn from the wrist down.

I like the detail in this because it makes me think of the Crimson chin from fairly odd parents but to me this is what he would look like if he didn't have a mask on. It's like character art YouTube fan boys make to there favorite you tuber. 

I think that this ad makes really good use of empty space to make a simple, yet complex and interesting to look at advertisement. However, I do wish there were more variation. 

Sezgi Olgac                Sezgi Olgac is travel photographer, known for capturing bright and colorful photos in various European cities. Her photographs portray a very idealistic version of society and give the verier a serene feel. I especially love the way that the various colors compliment each other in the photos. 

Paul Nicklen is a National Geographic photographer who is most well-known for the viral photo and video of an emaciated polar bear. He specializes in wildlife of the Arctic regions of the earth, and his photos are breathtaking. Here are some of my favorites that I pulled from his website. Here's his website.

These are shots from the Wes Anderson film "The Grand Budapest Hotel." The screenwriting in this film is impeccable; but what makes it a masterpiece is the set design and the colors they chose to use. These two shots show the contrast in bold and pastel colors that are utilized in the shots. This is Anderson's best film, and it should have won every Oscar available. Unfortunately, it was snubbed. 

Billie Eilish, a 16 year old american singer and song writer, has amazing visual techniques in all of her music videos. 

Fortnite and marvel collaborated and put Thanos from the Avengers series in the game. This was really cool because a game like Fortnite collaborated with a massive movie company. This was one of the first times this happened in the gaming community at this scale. 

Last night FEH Channel revealed Book Three for the Nintendo Mobile game Fire Emblem Heroes . Kozaki Yusuke is my favorite game artist. His new character designs are veiled with an eerie feel to them. FEH has entered a whole new theme with the Realm of the Dead. The new Book of FEH now appeals to a new audience.

While I was watching videos on YouTube I came across this new trailer for the Infinity War Avengers series. I realized how many special effects and graphics that these movies take. I feel like I never really understood the amount of work that goes on to make movies like these. I thought the trailer looked very cool and realistic looking for there being a lot of animation and graphics in it. Here is the link to watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYC7Dpe-4mU

I've never really take the time to look at album covers when I listen to music. This past weekend, I came across some really cool album covers. I realized that I take the time and effort for granted that go into making each album cover.  There are a few covers that stick out to me in particular.  I really like the mood of each one. It is very apparent that a lot of time goes into strategically planning out each cover to convey the mood of the music within the album. 

This is the new season of Gotham. The graphics on this show are incredible. I highly recommend this show because it is awesome. The way they use lighting to make scenes more dramatic is incredible.

Malena Bozzini         Malena Bozzini is a sophomore college student studying psychology. As her passion she is an artist. Her work is so original and abstract in order to dramatize her figures. She creates art out of emotion and uses her feelings to choose color and shape. One of the most interesting facts is that all of her pieces are done with colored pencils. Her art is so expressive that each piece gives out its own vibe. What makes her art unique is that it is inspired by motion and gestures. It is amazing how she developed such a style at such a young age.  Instagram @ malenabozzini

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is a collection of short anthology films set in the American west, post-civil war. The Coen brothers write and direct this unusual masterpiece. The scenes look amazing and the colors are saturated to different garish tones. Overall this film is entertaining and stylized with the dark humor of the Coens.

Love the colors in this picture brings out the background color. each color compliments each other and blends perfectly. The palm trees brings out the sun.

I like the realism of this image and the way the colors blend. The colors also make the people really pop out but not so much.

This is the classic Starry Night picture by Vincent Van Gogh. I love the way all the different shades of colors all flow like water into each other to create a flowly, sky-like picture. I also love the way the Sun looks especially.

Shawn Mendes newest album shows really good digital art. I like how he chose to have flowers coming out of his face in certain spots. The part of his face has that is not connected to the other half of the face looks like a mask. Shawn had mentioned in and interview that one of his fans created a similar piece which gave him the idea.

At the age of 87 Robert Morris has past away. Roberts arts included styles of minimalism, conceptual, and land art. Leaving behind a legacy as big as any other along with the collaborative works of his and others.

Last year I posted about David Ehrlich's Best Films Countdown Montages. He just released the 2018 video and it might be my favorite. Every year the songs he picks to go along with the films are so well selected, and this year is no exception. Here's the Video!

I saw this edit and it looked really cool. I like how he is dunking over everyone else and how he is the only thing in color, it makes him pop. 

Guigo Foggiatto This is a photographer I found on instagram, his name is guigo foggiatto and he does most if not all his photography on expired film, I love the look film cameras give his pictures, and also love the west coast / beachy theme that his photography entai

Philippe Ramette is a 57 year old artist who lives and works in France. His main focus is to bring his surreal ideas alive through photography. What sets Ramette apart from other artists is the process behind his art. Ramette does not use any digital manipulation for his pieces; he literally uses a metal harness and a cord to prop himself upright in order to capture the photo. The photograph below took 2 years of planning to capture his idea!

I was scrolling through my Instagram feed today and I found this guy called Mr. Doodle. Mr Doodle's quick sketches are top of the line doodles. He posts lots of quick videos of him doodling lots of crazy different things. In most of his videos he just starts of drawing a bunch shapes really quickly but by the end he pieces everything together. Also, he leaves very little blank space on the page. Here were some of my favorite doodles. His Instagram account is mrdoodle

I first stumbled upon American artist, Frank Stella, when browsing the internet. Immediately, his work caught my eye - as I'm sure it does for many. The colors, shapes, and illusions of movement through rhythm and pattern are intriguing, and even more so when one learns he is 82 years of age. Pieces like his were rare at the time period in which they were created - when art pieces were being interpreted to have various underlying meanings and, at the very least, identifiable subject matter. Observers of Stella's artwork were often wonderstruck at the intricate chaos and non-formality. Based in New York City, Stella opted to specialize in sculptor and printmaking at the beginning of his career. He excelled in both abstraction and [later] minimalism, finding pleasure in draining any external meaning or symbolism from his work. He is considered to be one of the most influential artists of a generation that moved past intricate expressionism. Unfortunately, because of his ...

                                The 1975 just released their third album, A Brief Inquiry of Online Relationships,  and I have been really intrigued by the art they have been posting for the past few months in order to promote the album. I think the busyness of each picture conveys the band's idea of the modern world and the minds of the people who live in it. I also love the repetition of the words and letters as well as the contrast of the red font placed over neutral backgrounds, especially in the bottom right picture.
