Visual artist Hisham Akira Bharoocha amazing drawings and collages

Visual artist Hisham Akira Bharoocha amazing drawings and collages | Visual*~*Revolution | Scoop.it

Hisham Akira Bharoocha is an artist currently based in Brooklyn, New York. He concentrates on creating music, visual art, and photography.

Hisham's newest works deal with the melting together of images that happens in the mind when one is meditating, dreaming, day dreaming, or going about their daily lives. Bharoocha likes to observe how his visions and feelings all blend together to create a massive medley of images and vibrations that one can feel in the body. Hisham tries to create works that show the absurdity and logic of how each mind works, what kind of relationships it creates between experiences and images that we absorb through our senses moment by moment.

Playful! Nerdy Dirty: Illustrations For Nerds In Love by Nicole Martinez

Playful! Nerdy Dirty: Illustrations For Nerds In Love by Nicole Martinez | Visual*~*Revolution | Scoop.it

Art director and designer from Bostin, Nicole Martinez, has created these love-filled geeky illustrations to express love in nerd’s style.

“My boyfriend and I came up with the phrase ‘nerdy dirty’ a while ago because we would say such nerdy things when we were trying to be romantic. So when I got the urge to design something sweet I could only think of things like ‘Arota tell you how much I love you’. Hence, Nerdy Dirty posters were born.”

Renowned LIFE photographer Gjon Mili, a technical genius and lighting innovator, visited Pablo Picasso in the South of France in 1949. This series of photographs, since known as Picasso's "light drawings," were made with a small flashlight or "light pencil" in a dark room; the images vanished almost as soon as they were created.

Pogo:Remix of Disney Animation and Songs

Pogo-aka Nick Bertke...This is the video for my track 'Bloom', a patchwork of vocals and musical chords from various Disney films. I recorded the harp sample from 'Sleeping Beauty', and a series of chords from 'A.I: Artificial Intelligence' to form the base of the chorus. The vocals are sampled from Disney films, each of which are illustrated in this video.

I used Adobe Audition to record my samples, FLStudio to arrange them, and Sony Vegas to create the video for the track.

So very delightful, whimsical and clever!

Why Man Creates: A Saul Bass Gem from 1968 Part 1 & 2

Why Man Creates: A Saul Bass Gem from 1968 Part 1 & 2 | Visual*~*Revolution | Scoop.it
We love iconic graphic designer Saul Bass and have a soft spot for luminaries' musings on the nature of creativity. Playful yet profound, the film is a series of sequences that at first appear unconnected but eventually converge into a compelling exploration of (wo)man’s most fundamental impetus to create, featuring such delightful tongue-in-cheek vehicles as this exchange between Michelangelo and da Vinci: Whaddaya doin?” ‘I’m painting the ceiling! Whadda you doin?” “I’m painting the floor!”

Animation: Tom Beg's Beautifully Rendered Picture of Dorian Gray

This is an 8 Minute adaptation of Picture of Dorian Gray. It represents Thomas Beg’s 15 week Major Project at UCA Rochester as part of his CG Arts and Animation degree. It is exceptionally well done, retaining the gothic eeriness of the original as well as ably pulling the story in to eight minutes.

Moment of Impact: the amazing photography of Alan Sailer | Visual*~*Revolution | Scoop.it

Alan Sailer says he was an obscure photographer, working in his garage, shooting stuff with a pellet gun and capturing the results with a home-made microsecond flash. All it took was one picture to become a sudden hit on the social networks.

"My boss came by one day and told me my site was getting a huge number of views," he wrote on his Flickr page. "Emails from magazines, newspapers and even Good Morning America started clogging my FlickrMail box. It was very stressful."

Summary: M. Fullan's Change Drivers | Visual*~*Revolution | Scoop.it

Tom Grant's musings on Michael Fullan's “Choosing the Wrong Drivers for Whole System Change”

Tom writes-'Fullan forces us to look critically at the elements of change and which ones work in our present context and in our present circumstances. He clearly articulates that there are many elements of change and that at times all have influence on large scale change. However he cautions us that if used alone or as central drivers, they may get us to a better place systemically but not as far as we think we need to go.'
