Artist Spotlight: Malene Hartmann Rasmussen
Malene Hartmann Rasmussen is an artist i know close to nothing about, but i was instantly attracted to her work, as i think most would be. Malene is what i like to call a crowd pleaser. Bold, colorful, and clever, her work is guaranteed to appeal to almost anyone with eyes. I would love to see her design film sets, or direct music videos, or do pretty much anything for that matter, because the skills and imagination are definitely all there.Im particularly fond of the first image, her squirrel gun.

Artist Spotlight: Gregory Crewdson
Seeing as i am currently studying color theory, i thought Gregory Crewdson would be an interesting artist to throw the light on. Without color, these photos would be a completely different experience. It sets the mood, and totally connects the emotional aspects of the pieces. Really think about his use of color, then watch Kieslowski's blue/white/red and kubricks eyes wide shut. Then discuss amongst selves.

If your looking to spoil yourself with some amazing artist designed objects, check out the brand new online shop: Grey Area.
Self Contained Worlds
Their are some artists that approach making a new piece like forging a tiny little universe. That piece is not a reflection of the world, but a world in itself. I used to imagine that my bed was a raft floating in the ocean, and all i had to survive was the items tucked away in my covers. I learned later that i wasnt alone in these particular day dreams. So now ide like to bring your attention to a few artists that have built their careers on creating artworks that are truly a world within a world.

Saturday
Following a viewing of The Tree of Life, I had a very interesting conversation last night about the nature of depression. I thankfully, am not a depressed individual, what i am though, is very cynical. Ive always been obsessed with the dark places the mind can go, and how terribly evil and downright disgusting human beings can be. Ever since i was a little kid ive been pulled into counselor meetings for drawing disturbing things, or been questioned about my mental stability due to the things ive created. This is often considered contradictory to my personality, as i'm pretty easy to get along with you dont offend me in any way mentally or visually. Anyway, to celebrate the weekend, i thought i would share with you some of my favorite grotesque images. Their isnt enough room on the internet to show them all, so these are a few standouts.

Opening Ceremony Sale
Their are very few sales i find interesting these days. My pickiness and brand loyalty means their are only select few things i still want come sale season, most of which never go on sale. Opening Ceremony, on the other hand, has the perfect end of the season sale. Their is frequently things i want on their website that i dont need quit enough to validate the price tag, especially since i know it will most likely be sliced in half come july. While OC might stock items too wild for some, i find its the perfect time to not only pick up staples, but also pick up a few standouts you wouldnt normally buy. Another great thing, is they put a large emphasis on quality, so no matter what you look at, its usually made in either the US or Japan. I picked up the top two items, a staple, the J Sabatino ombre flannel, and a standout, the OC mixed striped shirt. While the fit on the Sabatino is a tad bit large, and the OC a bit small respectively, they are still both high quality, beautiful garments that will both certainly end up in the lineup.

R.I.P Cy Twombly
Up until 5 minutes ago, i thought the hangover im currently nursing was the worst thing going on in my life. Then i found out the pioneering artist Cy Twombly died in Rome. Ive always been drawn to Cy's work, and have often found myself stuck in front of his paintings for elongated periods of time. Cy was a truly original genius, and he will be missed.
