In the summer of 2005, a group of artists going by the name of OAR gained access to an abandoned electrical substation in Belfast, NI. The building had once powered the city but had lay dormant for almost 25 years before the artists were allowed entry. buy medications generic gaetzpharmacy.com no prescription
Inside the complex, they found a time capsule. buy ivermectin generic gaetzpharmacy.com no prescription
The style of this place reminds of Wes Anderson’s kind of aesthetic. I’m a big fan of the retro controls and pale colors. canadian pharmacy gaetzpharmacy.com no prescription
Please check out LookAtBuilding for more photos and some of the work the artists created during their time there. They basically moved in over the next few months and created an impressive on-site installation exhibit.
In February of last year, five-time world champion skydivers, Fred Fugen and Vince Reffett, were invited to Melbourne to provide advanced coaching to some of Australia’s leading Skydive talent. The video above was intended to increase interest in the sport, and it certainly worked for me. The soundtrack by Alex Khaskin and the slow-motion shots really work together to create a graceful feel for the sport. I’m not exactly sure how high they jumped from, but those shots showing the curvature of the Earth were amazing.
The video above is the second installment in the series, and it’s equally impressive. Most of these shots are from the cliffs of Norway, Switzerland, and France.

Jeremy Geddes is a hyper-realist/surrealist painter from Melbourne, Australia. He has experience in the comic book and video game industries but now focuses all of his time on creating epic paintings of Astronauts & Cosmonauts floating precariously through space. Geddes uses photographs taken from around Melbourne for inspiration, but he quickly leaves the concrete world behind with his work. His paintings hold a certain level of abstraction that leaves the viewers pondering how the scenes came to be.
Cosmonaut 3 – Oil on Board – 2009
Cosmonaut 4 – Oil on Board – 2009
Alley – Oil on Linen – 2007
The Street – Oil on Board – 2010/2011
Heat Death – Oil on Board – 2009
There is Glory in our Failure – Oil on Linen – 2007
Freeway – Oil on Board – 2007
These post-apocalyptic cityscapes with faceless astronauts floating quietly through are really quite extraordinary to me. I think Geddes has created a perfect balance of realism and conceptual abstraction. It’s honestly the kind of art that I wish I had made. These mysterious space people from a world unknown operate in a quiet melancholic space that operates by its own set of cosmic rules. It would be spectacular to stand in front of one of these paintings in person and be absorbed into the abandoned scene.
If you happen to be in New York in late 2012 (Oct 20 — Nov 17), enjoy Jeremy’s work at the Jonathan Levine Gallery.
Check out the amazing work of Brazilian Artist, Cris Wiegandt. She hails from São Paulo, Brazil, but she has been living in Europe for the past 12 years (now based out of Berlin). She created this piece for the agency Ressourcenmangel GmbH for a business pitch, but unfortunately they didn’t win. Regardless of the business outcome, we are happy to have these lasting images of the meticulously crafted shuttle. buy sildenafil citrate tadalafil vardenafil online https://pavg.net/wp-content/languages/en/sildenafil-citrate-tadalafil-vardenafil.html no prescription
The gray background accents the soft palette quite nicely here. Something tells me Cris would have been very good at creating model cars/ships as a child…
I tracked down Cris through the interweb, and she was nice enough to answer a few questions about how she made it, and about her career as an artist.
How did you go about making the space shuttle? Was it modeled after a specific shuttle?
“[The company] sent me a picture of a space shuttle and the colors I should use. It was a picture found at google [space shuttle unknown]. I made the craft completely by hand. First I made some scribbles about how to build it together, the size of the parts and how to glue it. Then it was more or less just trying and putting everything together.”
What inspired you to enter the field of art?
“Definitly Michel Gondry and music, especially David Bowie, Björk and MPB (musica poplar brasileira).”
How did you choose to focus in animation and design?
Laurent Laveder is the landscape astrophotographer and astronomy journalist who is responsible for these great moon photos. They have been published in a small book in France, found here. Laurent took these pictures on a beach near his home in France with the help of his girlfriend, Sabine (seen in several of the photos).

All good spaceships must come to an end. Take a last look through these photos of the retired Space Shuttle Atlantis, which undertook 33 missions between the years of 1985 to 2011.
