ISSUE #08
Ever had someone say to you 'Holy shit, do you realise it's
2007!'? Well we have, again and again. People, despite what
you may think of us, we not only have calendars (thankyou,
Mac OS X!) but we also have plans in the future that require
us to know the current day, week, and yes, the current year.
That being said...Holy shit...do you realise it's
2007?!?!?
Welcome to our December/January release
and Issue #8!
It's a new year, and it's all about the Pixel! Not
only are we coming at you with the usual hot
websites, resources and bars,we
also have a seasonal masterpiece from the dedicated Blue
Giant, as well as a special article featuring all the
crazy elements that made 2006 the year it was.
Once again we have a massive shout out to Mr.
Smithson for all his hard work!
Check out his new
website where you can get daily doses of his mental flexing!
ARTICLES
Just Thinking Visually
Based in Sydney, Brad Eastman is
no stranger to lying in the gutter just to get that perfect
shot. Whether his friends like it or not, he can be found
snapping shots of them skating regardless of the time, place,
or awkward angle. This love of photography also extends to
his macro work, proving his talent across varied subjects.
As if this wasn't enough, he also is the founder of the much
respected website weAREtheIMAGEmakers, releasing issues to
promote creative individuals.
Hauntingly Familiar
Art, more so than most creative pursuits,
can derive inspiration directly from certain time periods and
movements. It can evoke emotions as well as reveal personal
truths about the artist. The dark and surreal world that is
Elbereth Moore's art is at once enticing and deep, yet with
undertones and a quality that suggest the final pieces not
only reflect a quality to work that is hard to match, but also
an emotional base from the artist that can equal that quality.
Individual
Perception
At 26 years of age you wouldn’t expect
Kristyna Hessova to be as skilled in the creative
arts as she is. An ex-pat from the Czech Republic,
Kristyna is a highly experienced stage actress- she
has worked in many cities throughout Europe, even
having shows written for her. Add to this her skill
as a photographer and a model and you have an impressive
creative package.
Whilst usually behind the lense, our resident photographer
Jim stepped up and got to have a chat with Kristyna.
Stop Thinking, Start Feeling
Kris Baum is one of those photographers that makes people
look at their work and say ‘Damn, I wish I could do
that.’ Baum takes a range of subjects and captures
them perfectly - from people to structures, from events to
artistic shots. His work is of the highest quality, and his
dedication to his chosen medium shines through in the diversity
of subjects and locations used in his work.
Simon, our dedicate writer, caught up with Kris to chat about
his unique style, and find out just how drinking in excess
could have started him down this road.
