NAWLZ

NAWLZ is an interactive graphic novel by artist Sutu. It's quite different from what I've seen before and will surely watch it once I'm at home and LuCiD. Right now, 6 episodes have been released and let me tell you, it's quite a trip from what I've "read" in the first chapter.

Enjoy!!!

eTHeReaL RóS

I don't remember the time I was given knowledge of the existence of an Icelandic group that goes by the name Sigur Rós (which means Victory Rose and is also Jónsi Birgisson's sister, who was born the same day the band was formed).

I must admit that, given my metal background, I found their music hard to digest because it was nothing like I had heard before. One time, when I was thinking by myself (those lucid moments I use to have) I was playing all my music collection at random when suddenly, 'Svenf-g-englar' comes up and in my stupor I begun to relax and I actually felt different. I liked it alot so I went to my PC to see the group's name and what song was playing. To my surprise it was Sigur Rós, a group I was thinking of removing from my collection because I couldn't assimilate their music.

Sigur Rós' music is ethereal, as if it was created and sung by angels. They manage to combine different feelings within the same song and at the same time. 'Olsen Olsen' for example, fills me with happiness and at the same time I feel nostalgic, so I feel happy and sad at the same time. I don't know if this happens to everyone but this music really pulls some emotional strings in me.

Well, this is one of my favorite songs by Sigur Rós, the first I ever 'listened' to carefully and the video is... well, if you wish, you can leave a comment.

Cheers!

Mirrored Divinity

Leonardo Da Vinci is considered a genius in the art movement. He was not only a painter, but a sculptor, architect and inventor. It is said that he was part of a more 'obscure' movement, and by this I mean 'underground'.

All his annotations are written from right to left (contrary to the usual western writing of Left to Right), thought to be developed for efficiency for a left-handed Leonardo. This writing style can be deciphered by putting a mirror and reading the mirrored image.

This is thought to be the key to that movement. A movement that hid their beliefs in sacred paintings from a vengeful Vatican. There's a book that explains this movement and the discoveries they have made.

Terminal Se7en and Abstract Angel

There are drawings that I like, and there are drawings that are just fantastic. I recently "discovered" this guy/gal's gallery and his conception of art is really interesting. If you like what you see, head on to his/her (?) gallery.

A Halloween Special

If only this could be real,
just for one night.
You could be their meal,

devoured in the absence of light.

Psychedelic aRT

Sometimes you see something and instantly fall in love with them, whether it's based on aesthetics or uniqueness. This 'find' was quite unusual and I was drawn to Alex Grey's unique art. It reminded me of the cover art of Tool's Lateralus (if it isn't made by Grey himself).

It is my duty to try and spread this art to whoever might stumble on my blog. You can go thru this link and head to 'Paintings' on the left menu and then head over to 'Progress of the Soul', though I recommend watching the entire Drawing's section.
