This page is a weird mix of rantings and ravings, Music, graffiti, punk,Doctor Who, postpunk, comics,art, general silliness and GPOB (gratuitous pictures of Bowie). Sometimes I post about the 2012 US elections, and I stan for Obama.

Amazing illustration.
when my mother came to visit me we went to the whaling museum on Nantucket, and the thing that really stuck with me when they talked about the history of whaling was the difference between Right Whales and Sperm Whales. The whaling industry in Nantucket at first hunted Right Whales almost exclusively. They are huge, relatively docile, and they went down without much of a fight. Then they started hunting Sperm Whales. Whole different story. Sperm Whales fight back. They don’t just run away or die. They are vengeful as shit. They will ram your boat and tear it up. It was quite disconcerting for the whaling industry.
So of course I kind of love them. Tear their shit up, Moby Dick. Yeah.

Amano art of FFX and X-2.
I have to make some personal commentary on these and say that in these pieces Amano’s created such an intense romantic feeling of the original concepts and stylistic themes, the perpetual dreamlikeness and the look of the vast drowned, doomed world, that collecting these made me look closer at and fall in love with the very IDEA of this game, which I think was a lot more impressive and intense than the end result.

Shepard Fairey Piece of the Day: Ebony magazine commissioned street artist Shepard Fairey (of Obeyand HOPE fame) to create artwork of the late Trayvon Martin to accompany a piece in this month’s issue. Fairey writes:
I have followed Trayvon’s case closely and I think any compassionate human being can relate to Trayvon as a brother or son and would want to see a thorough investigation into the killing of an unarmed person. In my portrait I wanted to emphasize Trayvon’s humanity as well as the public outcry for a just investigation into his death.

The public outcry portion can be seen from the protesters images in his hoodie. We like that touch.
There are far too many words than can be said.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4i385bWvC1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)

Opening tomorrow at Subliminal Projects in Los Angeles is a new show by Stanley Donwood, which features an 18-foot apocalyptic panorama of the City of Angels being destroyed by fire, flood and meteor storm…
The work was originally carved into 18 separate panels of linoleum, then hand burnished onto Japanese Kozo paper to create the epic print. Shown here is an extract from the piece, above, plus other works from the Lost Angeles series that also form part of the exhibition.
The map of Palestine is depicted showing the different borders as they have changed over time. The darkest area represents land which was given to Israel by the United Nations in 1948, the slightly less dark areas represent land captured by Israel in the war immediately following its creation. The lightest grey areas represent land which Israel has illegally settled since the war of 1967 when it invaded neighboring countries, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. The white areas represent land which the remaining Palestinian Arab population is allowed work and live in.
The text for this piece is Surah 85: Al-Buruj written exactly once, starting in the darkest area read from top to bottom, and then continuing continuing in the lighter text, and finally finishing in the lightest areas, representing the post 1967 settled land.
