“I guess the line between being paranoid and being an artist is smaller than one would expect. My name is Kamil Mirocha and I’m utterly devoted to graphic design and batik. Having graduated with an MA in Applied Arts, I moved to the UK, where I’m currently working on a new series of paintings. Constantly discovering the secrets of the batik technique, I have developed my own style, which I hope you will enjoy”.
Wonderful
My paintings are cultural allegories that aim to reflect my view of the modern world. My conceptual process begins by selecting themes and elements of contemporary life (such as media culture, genetic engineering, globalization, etc.)which seem important and interesting to me. I then combine and expand those components into completely ridiculous scenes that depict a fictitious near-future or alternate reality. I attempt to balance the utter implausibility of these scenes by painting them as convincingly as I can. I have, over time, developed these images into several reoccurring motifs that continue to describe more fully a world that reflects (and develops parallel to) the ‘real world.’
My hope is that by employing this editorial and often satirical method of expression, rather than using a more journalistic approach, I might communicate my observations and feelings about our modern existence more aptly than by painting actual images of contemporary life.

From The Lenz | on Tumblr (USA) - Neon Luminance
From The Lenz is a group of artists based in San Francisco, founded by Sean Lenz, Kristoffer Abildgaard and other artists with the common goal of creating things that move, feel and inspire the soul. In their latest projet Neon Luminance, the duo dropped high-powered Cyalume glow sticks into Northern California waterfalls and used long exposures to capture the submerged trails. To accomplish some of the more complicated shots they strung several sticks together at once to create different patterns of illumination. Please visit their website or Tumblr for upcoming works.

Ahh one of these is definitely shot Alamere, at least one.
I can’t help but love this kind of stuff. The wardrobe matching is impeccable
” After taking LSD. I lighting up a candle in the middle of the wood and during the 30 secondes of exposure, i make a meditation about the holism of nature surrounding me. Feeling the crystal vibration irradiating from the center of the Gaia mother earth. So in this picture i try to show you the magic,sacred metaphysical quality of the nature and new age bullshiting you. “
