I found this " '60s poster-art " style colorful, psychedelic 2010 calendar based upon "Alice in Wonderland" on the Web and thought that some blog readers may appreciate it. See some 'sample images' below and visit here for further infos:http://www.johncoulthart.com/feuille...2010-calendar/
John Martyn (1948 - 2009)was an astounding guitarist, a great artist who gave us some of the best folk-blues music (with several other influences) of the '70s (but he made albums and concerts until the last days of his life, in spite of several health problems.)Please take a moment for yourself and enter the magic of John's music, here performing live at Reading University in 1978.
It seems that Liu Bolin had a great success on the blog, so prepare your eyes and enjoy other great art works by this astounding Chinese artist... (Thanks Maurizio!)
Liu Bolin, a 36 years old Beijing-based artist, is know as the “invisible man” due to his ability to use his own body as an art material. Liu paints on himself, appearing to blend in with the backdrop. A perfectionist who doesn't use photo tricks or "photoshopping", he often works on a single photograph for up to 10 hours, shocking many passers-by when he finally moves. Bolin said his inspiration came from feeling like a social outcast. "Some people call me the invisible man, but for me it's what is not seen in a picture which is really what tells the story," Mr Bolin told the UK's Telegraph. "I experienced the dark side of society, without social relations, and had a feeling that no one cared about me, I felt myself unnecessary in this world. Mr Liu says his work is also a protest against the government, who shut down his art studio in 2005.
Amazing body shots captured using a scanning electron microscope. Incredible details of 1 to 5 nm (nanometer) in size can be detected. Other photos in this highlights gallery (Thanks Raghu)
Red Blood Cells They look like little cinnamon candies here, but they're actually the most common type of blood cell in the human body - red blood cells (RBCs). These biconcave-shaped cells have the tall task of carrying oxygen to our entire body; in women there are about 4 to 5 million RBCs per micro liter (cubic millimeter) of blood and about 5 to 6 million in men. People who live at higher altitudes have even more RBCs because of the low oxygen levels in their environment. Human Embryo and Sperm It looks like the world at war, but it is actually five days after the fertilisation of an egg, with some remaining sperm cells still sticking around. This fluorescent image was captured using a confocal microscope. The embryo and sperm cell nuclei are stained purple while sperm tails are green. The blue areas are gap junctions, which form connections between the cells.
Human Eggwith Coronal Cells This image is of a purple, colour-enhanced human egg sitting on a pin. The egg is coated with the zona pellicuda, a glycoprotein that protects the egg but also helps to trap and bind sperm. Two coronal cells are attached to the zona pellicuda.
Villi of Small Intestine Villi in the small intestine increase the surface area of the gut, which helps in the absorption of food. Look closely and you will see some food stuck in one of the crevices.
Purkinje Neurons Of the 100 billion neurons in your brain. Purkinje (pronounced purr-kin-jee) neurons are some of the largest. Among other things, these cells are the masters of motor coordination in the cerebellar cortex. Toxic exposure such as alcohol and lithium, autoimmune diseases, genetic mutations including autism and neurodegenerative diseases can negatively affect human Purkinje cells.
Michael Moschen is a jaw-dropping juggler: watch him here performing "The Triangle", three balls and a triangular structure that become a visual and musical work of art...
Heather Nevay (b. 1965) is an interesting Scottish surreal/figurative artist who use symbolism to express ideas of heroism, weakeness, fear and the shifting balance of human relationships. Her paintings are mostly figurative, with colour being an important element of her work. Visit her site to see a lot of other great paintings.
Myron Stolaroff is a real pioneer of the psychedelic research. In 1961 he founded the International Foundation for Advanced Studies (IFAS) in Menlo Park and served as its president from '61 to '70. Between '61 and '65, IFAS conducted clinical investigations administering Lsd, mescaline and other psychedelics to hundreds of subjects with interesting and promising results. In 1965, the FDA began to revoke permits for human studies with psychedelics, forcing the conclusion of this project. Between 1970 and 1986, Myron and his wife Jean (often together with a selected group of psychonauts and 'clients') conducted additional personal studies with 2c-b and other (then) unscheduled compounds. This important work was stopped too with the passage of the Controlled Substance Analogue Act of 1986. Author of "Thanatos to Eros" (now freely downloadable here) and "The Secret Chief", Myron is still active nowadays: he's often lecturer in conferences on entheogens and remains an important, respected and beloved elder to the psychedelic community. Erowidis currently undertaking the cataloging and digitization of Stolaroff's vast archive of letters, writings and ephemera related to his research into the effects of psychedelic drugs on human consciousness. Hear Myron and June speaking about their work and experiences ( first of six videos posted in these days on youtube.)
Do you feel cheery and perky? That could be a problem nowadays...But taking just a tablet of Despondex you'll be 'home' again, normally 'zombiefied' and depressed like all the people you know...
