Some years ago I fell in love with Gerhard Richter's work after seeing some huge canvases with vertical striations. These images are part of my ongoing set called Marginal which explores the coastline along the Solent, and references Richter's paintings in so many ways. Richter buried many layers of paint beneath his final image, and here we are looking at the clay and muds layers as they have collapsed, marking the headland, and creating images more abstract than a modernist painter.

The light was interesting but very dull, yet nevertheless the colour palette in the landfall is amazing. Interesting to note the similarities with other locations I've been photographing in this project (Compton Bay on the Isle of Wight, Hengistbury Head and Kimmeridge in Dorset, and Barton on Sea in Hampshire)
On May 18th, 10 top European street artists competed to create their own masterpiece on a 2 x 2m canvas in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, using ‘space’ as inspiration. A three-member jury will decide, together with the online audience, which artist created the very best artwork within the deadline of one day. For the winning artist awaits a very special prize: he or she will become the first street artist to make a piece of art weightless. By means of a parabolic flight, this artist becomes the first street artist in space. Graffiti without gravity!
This is the piece made by Mr Cenz from the United Kingdom.

Just defying gravity... :P
HDR taken from 1 jpg!!
Photoshop: You might recognize the effect as HDR, and you are right. Even though I dont have a camera that takes RAW photos, I decided to use the curves in photoshop to create a brighter version and a darker version, and I made a HDR with photomatix out of 2 exposures. Turned out so nice that it didnt need any photoshopping afterwards anymore. Difference between this version and the original is that in the original the sky was slightly overexposed and the beach and water were very dark. Also my face was almost a silhouette in the shadow, because of the bright sunlight.
This latest series of photos was taken in Kiel, in the North of Germany where my grandparents live. We went to the beach and I suggested to make jumping photos. I had never expected some of them to turn out this nicely.

So now it can be told, for the past year I've been doing character design on Gravity Falls. The first episode premiers tonight, and I could not be more excited for all to witness this season. I've been working my tail off trying to fulfill Alex Hirsch's vision while giving the fans something exciting to look at. I hope you all will stay tuned this season as I think it's even better than the first.
Love

Lottie and Tilly may be identical twins, but of course they are very different girls...
Lottie is quieter than her sister, she listens to Tilly's constant chatter and joins in when she feels like it. When her twin is not there it's like her internal monologue has been silenced and she feels lonely.
Lottie is a bit more down to earth... she's the gravity while Tilly soars above the clouds.

Baby
It's been a long time coming
Such a long, long time
And I can't stop running
Such a long, long time
Can you hear my heart beating?
Can you hear that sound?
'Cause I can't help thinking
And I won't stop now
And then I looked up at the sun
And I could see
Oh, the way that gravity pulls on you and me
And then I looked up at the sky
And saw the sun
And the way that gravity pushes on everyone
On everyone
Baby
When your wheels stop turning
And you feel let down
And it seems like troubles
Have come all around
I can hear your heart beating
I can hear that sound
But I can't help thinking
And I won't look now'- Coldplay
This is the most famous scene and song from the sixth longest running Broadway musical of all time "Wicked" - "Defying Gravity". The musical retells the story of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" from the viewpoint of two friends, Glinda and Elphaba, which will be known as the Wicked Witch of the West despite the fact that she did nothing wicked at all. The musical looks like a comedy in some scenes and most of the time the story and mood is optimistic, but if you start digging deeper, you realise that in fact it is a really tragic story for all the characters, with a lot of meaning, so there are definitely a lot to think about. Anyone who interested, please check out the story in Wikipedia (listening an album first doesn't help you, cause all dialog tracks between the songs and some spoken lines are not included in CD in order to avoid spoilers), and then read the annotations and user's comments under it (some users pointed out really interesting and important meanings in comments, so don't skip it) to all the songs on Genius (and there you'll find links to YouTube as well).
Elphaba is considered strange and hated by the other Ozians only because her skin is green. So when madame Morrible tells her that she has a strong talent in magic and promised to write to the Wizard about it, Elphaba starts to dream about how she will be accepted by the Ozians after she proves her worth to Wizard. Alas, when she and her friend Glinda finally meets the Wizard, they discover that he and madame Morrible are the puppeters behind the oppression of the Animals (intelligent creatures who able to speak), and the Wizard was going to use Elphaba for his own purposes, because he has, as we remember from the film, no real magic powers. Elphaba, who was aware of the anti-Animal conspiracy and was going to ask him for help believing that the Wizard surely will do something to stop it, is angry, so she rejects the opportunity to be in Wizard's team and desides to go on her own and fight this problem by herself. Glinda tries to calm her down, and so begins the most memorable scene in all musical, in which Elphaba defy the things that all Ozians believe in, defy all the people that have always repressed her... and defy gravity.

Gravity on me, never let me down
Another Gorillaz inspired picture. The fog rolled in really early this morning so I was worried I wouldn't be able to get a nice picture. The forest was really spooky with all the fog.
