Ryohei Yamashita

creates digital paintings with the consistent theme of yakudo, which means, translated literally, "full of life and energy." Like the climactic moment in a film, his paintings are iconic, explosive, energetic, and memorable.

Yamashita's unique fisheye lens perspective adds to his works' depth, breadth, and beautiful trajectory lines, creating this dramatic effect of yakudo. Mr. Yamashita started working as a caricaturist when he was a student. In 2002, he became an illustrator based in Yokohama City.

After passing the Digmeout Audition, a rite of passage for many of Japan's young art leaders, he embarked with his theme of Yakudokaninto the art world on a quest to go beyond the realm of illustration.

Even tussendoor: Nieuwe Bruce.

In the introductory essay that forms part of the lavish packaging of The Promise: The Darkness On The Edge Of Town Story, Springsteen offers an insight into what was inspiring his music in the mid '70s: “I was still held in thrall by the towering pop records that had shaped my youth.” That’s clearly evident among the 21 tracks we get to hear for the first time on the second and third discs of this release; a dizzying ride through American popular music, liberally borrowing instantly familiar motifs.

The 10 tracks that comprised Darkness' on its release in 1978 were carefully chosen to reaffirm Springsteen’s literate singer-songwriter reputation, but the music here is less concerned with cementing a specific identity. "'Darkness' was my 'samurai' record," Springsteen writes, "stripped to the frame and ready to rumble.

But the music that got left behind was substantial." Having had three years to wait while management and legal wrangles prevented him from delivering any new music to the masses, Bruce nonetheless continued to record at Record Plant Studios in New York, not laying down working demos, but conjuring up fully-formed band recordings, many of which rank among his best work.

Hieronder bierflessen openen: "because the night". Ik sla even over, kan er niet meer tegen. Buitenom kan ook.

Oja, hier nog een leuk stukje Bruce over the darkness on the edge of town een "must see". Als ik het allemaal goed begrijp zijn dit overblijfselen van D O T E O T..

Michael Allen Austin:

Would love to tell you something like. . . I go out when the moon is full for a dinner of spicy food. Afterwards, I return home, lay my head down on a special pillow filled with exotic goose down and then let ideas come through surreal dreams. But, unfortunately, for me there isn’t anything that specific or unique.

My inspiration comes from the things closest to me like my friends, family, even the furniture in my house. For example, the train, the Sagebrush Flyer in Railroad John and the Red Rock Run, was composed out of parts of furniture in my home.

I combined those ideas with photos of an old train nicknamed the Gophers, Frogs and Alligators line, which ran where in the area where I grew up. Also, my great grandfather, who actually worked for a railroad, was the basis for the Railroad John character.

For anyone looking to brand Jason Aldean as part of a significant musical movement, good luck. There’s a lot about the singer that’s become familiar during his five years as a country hitmaker, after all, he has spent more weeks at No. one on the radio charts than any other country artist in the last 12 months.

But none of what he does comes out quite like anyone else. The blues-tinged licks at the end of his phrases—there’s a ring of familiarity about them, but you can’t really link them to another artist.

The smoky guitar riffs that have become a signature—they’re built on sounds that have come before, but they don’t really belong to anyone else in the country genre, either. The small-town themes that pervade many of his songs—that’s all been done before, but not quite with the unwavering honesty that Aldean applies to the subject.

Goni Montes.

I was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, where I lived most of my life. After attending the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez and acquiring a BA in Fine Arts, I began working as a scientific illustrator for the Puerto Rico Sea Grant.

To pursue a career in editorial work (and whatnot), I moved to Atlanta, GA and obtained an MFA in illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Today I freelance from Decatur, GA, teach a class or two at SCAD, and assist my friend Bill Mayer in a few of his crazed projects. Clients include Draft FCB, Oz Magazine, Puerto Rico Sea Grant, Spin Master, Tor Books, The Village Voice, The Washington Post, The Work Style Magazine, among others.

Jason Chalker:

I would have to say everything that’s happened in my life has affected me as an artist.

My dad was in WWII and I think my family’s connection to that era brought about my eventual love for pulp art. I’ve been doing some website design, Flash illustrations for an educational CD-Rom for the University of Montana and a few ‘A Scanner Darkly’-style portraits.

This past fall I did a painted commission for a Fables event at Austin Books and Comics and also did a t-shirt design for their fall sale. I’m about to start working on a comic I originally started at 24 Hour Comic Book Day. I like the story and I’d like to see how it turns out if I put some time into it. It’ll be my first comic book. Dit noemen ze pulp art. Hij heeft ook een blog, manlyart.

Mick Wiggins is an award winning professional illustrator who specializes in book and editorial illustration. He is the illustrator of the complete John Steinbeck series from Penguin Classics US. “Starting out years ago, I painted with oils, but eventually shifted to a digital format back in the 1980s. As the technology matured over the decades, my style drifted to its current state. Technically, I feel like I work pretty simply: sketching in pencil first, scanning, and building the image in Photoshop.

As a hangover from the previous century, I still use a mouse (as opposed to a tablet stylus), which is probably the source of the screen-print or woodblock feel for much of my work. With a mouse, one kind of carves shapes, rather than drawing them, which takes away the immediate and sensuous line that drawing by hand gives. Any sensuality that does come through seems to have a slightly more formal, starchy feel.” “I have a couple of sources of textures I use: most commonly an old piece of papyrus that has a peculiar weave I like.

I’m liking the random noise generators these days, and the textures that can be derived from them.”

Chris Whetzel. I have always loved to draw! I can recall crude portraits of family members from as early as what must have been three or four years old. The doodles in textbooks and on my arms continued throughout high school.

Faced with parents determined to send their son to a college, I prepared for what looked like a promising career of facts and figures. And thus, the stage was set until my art teacher proposed applying to an art school in Philadelphia...Since that time, I have worked for numerous magazines, newspapers, advertising agencies, and corporations.

I like taking pictures. Every image I create that makes me go "wow" brings an umimaginable sense of satisfaction to me. The more I do it, the better I get at it, and it's interesting to see how I progress. In the meanwhile, I'm keeping a record of all the work I do, as a way of looking back. So here it is, a selection of the images I've created over the last few years. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed shooting them.
