I've never been one much for the YouTube "videos" that are just a slide show of photographs set to music. In fact, as a rule I'd say they are a massive, boring waste of time
As is often the case however, I believe there is an exception to the rule. In this case, the exception comes from an indescribably amazing duo known to the world by their last names of Simon & Garfunkel. These two men, capable of amazing feats & fights also happened to be, perhaps the most unfortunate and unphotogenic men in the history of modern music. So while viewing this collection of photographs & listening to the beautiful melodies they weave so well, please appreciate the sort of uneasy feeling of suppressed memories of early adolescent awkward (that in the case of our boys Artie and Paul, seem to have lasted into adulthood)
MARTHA ISERMAN.
I recently had the pleasure of getting acquainted with this terrificly skilled and engaging artist. This is the work of Martha Iserman, a painter/printmaker/drawist from right here in Minneapolis Minnesota! She seems to be as energetic and dynamic as her work, totes rad.
ALEX DRAGULESCU.
The above image is an example of something called Spam Architecture. In this case, a model of a home, designed by interpreting & translating patterns in the text of spam mail. This stroke of genius courtesy of Alex Dragulescu, do visit his website.
MARK KHAISMAN.
The above image features back-lit portraits created from layers of packing tape. This is the work of Mark Khaisman, a Philly based artist born in the Ukraine. His work ranges quite a bit in subject, always in this medium.
HAND TYPE BONANZA.
An elderly sketch from when I first got the Panda Bear Album.

Smells like teen angst.
