Tultepec is a small city located just 30 miles from Mexico City.  The major industry in these parts is Pyrotechnics, and each year, the town throws a week-long festival to show off their major produce.

Around 100,000 people flock to enjoy the food, music, dancing, and of course, the amazing fireworks. As you can see above, the safety restrictions don’t seem to be too strict in these parts of Mexico, but it makes for some incredible pictures!  Thomas Prior from New York braved the madness last March and captured the incredible photographs you see above.

The main event of the festival seems especially striking — it features a “Running of the Bulls” in which 250 wooden bulls filled with fireworks run the streets shooting off explosions for a 7 hour finale.

Electric Anatomy

July 4th, 2012 | Brain

Wow!  Here’s some 4th of July Fireworks for you!  This painting comes from artist Alex Grey — a renowned spiritual/psychedelic artist & practitioner of Tantric Buddhism.  Alex actually spent five years at Harvard Medical School working in the Anatomy department, studying the human body and preparing cadavers for dissection.  His mastery of anatomy is clearly displayed in his painting.

The New York Times described his work:

“Mr. Grey’s paintings present man as an archetypal being struggling toward cosmic unity. Grey’s vision of a flawed but perfectible mankind stands as an antidote to the cynicism and spiritual malaise prevalent in much contemporary art.”

And while his works may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it would be hard to argue against the pure energy flowing off the canvas.  One can only wonder what the bottom half of this painting would look like…

Alex and his wife are holding a Visionary Art Intensive at the Omega Institute in New York from July 29th to  August 3rd, 2012 if you are interested.
