Before The Sun
Digital artist and matte painter Swinspeed beautifully composites multiple stock images to create imaginative and surreal landscapes. His Flickr photostream is full of inspiring landscape compositions, but some of my other favorite images are The Healing Nimbus and Last Days.
The guy I’m reblogging this amazing-looking piece from is one of the best Tumblr premium theme designers I’ve seen, too. Really thinking about getting a card out and upgrading BHB to Backburner.

I could see some Morgantown kids doing this.
(And for a more static approach to light sculptures, check out Bring to Light NYC. It happened in Greenpoint last weekend, it was New York’s first Nuit Blanche event, and it was completely mesmerizing.)

I just received this painting of a tanuki from my good friend Bryn Perrott, who I have to say really nailed it with this one. If you’re unfamiliar with tanuki, they’re Japanese raccoon dogs that show up throughout their folklore. A quick search on Wikipedia will tell you a little more about them; I initially thought the backstory behind the tanuki was really funny and liked them for that reason, but now I just think they’re really interesting and unique in their own right.
If you dig Bryn’s work as much as I do, check more of it out at the embedded Flickr link!

Japan has a way of making really goofy things surprisingly deep within art, entertainment, and the blending of the two.
“Oops!”
Doraemon may not be a Superhero in the American sense, but the Japanese don’t really have superhero comics. Doraemon was a hero though, although maybe not a very good one. Sent from the 22nd century, he could pull anything imaginable out of the 4th dimensional pocket in his belly to help aid Nobita through the the trials of being a nerdy loser kid. In kozy’s piece however, Doraemon accidentally pulls a black hole out of his pocket, bringing our existence (and Nobita’s) to an untimely end in the blink of an eye.
