Multimedia Paintings by Andrea Castro
"I consider art as another language, another way to express yourself. I'm fascinated by the idea of reaching everybody around the world, whichever the language they may speak, and connect with them through my character's emotions or stories. I want the observer to identify with my own artistic idiom and to vent of all those feelings we all have felt overtaking ourselves at some point. To do that I create internal conversations with the subjects of my paintings, they tell me what they want to transmit as I'm giving them shape. Once the character's figurative part begins to become more clear, they will take over my work and express what they want. Then, this is the most terrifying but at the same time funniest part of the whole process: translating their wishes with stokes. Sometimes they are stubborn so a fight between me and those newly created persons begin as my primary idea vanishes and their's becomes more fierce.
My oil work is amid figurative and abstract art, with an special touch of expressionism that characterize my personnages soul."

Street Art by Pichi & Avo
All has began in 2007, bringing a spectacularly lucid splash of Mediterranean colour to the streets of Valencia and wider Spain, Pichi and Avo have infused a stunning level of figurative detail into their work. Hints of surrealism leap out and slap the viewer about while drawing you into a radiant explosion of unrestrained, spray painted talent. Creating a massive stir in their hometown and just about to set the rest of Europe ablaze, leads them to participate in numerous national and international events.
Pichi & Avo are one, fleeing the egocentrism of graffiti and come together to give birth a single work, two similar visions of the world are a result of their work.

Sick Street Art by Millo
Millo
Francesco Camillo Giorgino, commonly known as Millo, was born in 1979 in Mesagne, Italy.
He graduated with honors in Architecture, putting forward a personal aesthetic research in the field of painting, from micro to macro scale “revealing the transience of human existence, suspended somewhere between what we know and what is hidden inside us” (ziguline).
He received several awards and national recognitions, including the prestigious “Premio Celeste” in 2011. He participated to several Street Art Festivals all around Europe. His works are exhibited in Rome, Milan, Bologna, Florence, London, Paris, Luxemburg and Rio de Janeiro.

Interview With Mat Dube
"I think we're right in the middle of a shift where the artist's knowledge, skill, and creativity are being appreciated and embraced by the public. It's no longer reserved for an elite segment of society."
What is success as an artist to you?
Success to me as an artist is determined by whether or not I can make a connection with people. If I can share my images and ideas and have even just a tiny impact on someone's life, then I feel like I have achieved success. Of course, being able to make a living from art is nice but that's never a guarantee and it's definitely not the sole purpose of my ongoing drive keep creating.
What's the role of artists in the digital age?
Artists now have access to a huge audience, but I don't know if the role of artists has changed much in the digital age. I think that visual art has many different roles; it entertains, raises awareness about certain issues, and reflects the state of the world at a particular point in time. Again, I don't think that these roles have changed much in the digital age, it just seems like the general public has quicker and easier access to what's being created.
What do you believe the artistic movement is today, how is it characterized?
I'm actually really excited about the artistic movement happening right now. I think we're right in the middle of a shift where the artist's knowledge, skill, and creativity are being appreciated and embraced by the public. It's no longer reserved for an elite segment of society. I think this is happening because the public now has more of a say about what becomes popular. Everyone has access to the Internet and sees huge amounts of art every week, whether it's photography, graphic design, animation, painting, etc. It's no longer just a select group of gallery owners, curators and magazines sharing art.
Do you believe it is easier or harder to be an artist today with the amount of social networking available?
Well, I think that social networking is kind of a double-edged sword.
On one hand, artists now have access to the whole world and can have hundreds or thousands of people viewing a piece of art that they created just 10 minutes ago. They can build their audience and make connections that simply would never have happened without the Internet. They can do all this independently (without the help of galleries and agents) which is a huge game changer!
On the other hand, the high-tech world in which we live today has created a generation of people that have extremely short attention spans - myself included. Visual art doesn't make sound and usually doesn't move, so it's an art form that demands a bit more attention and active participation from the viewer. As artists, we now have access to a much bigger audience but I sometimes wonder how many people really take the time to appreciate what they see. Overall, I think that social networking is a positive thing for most visual artists.
"I've never rented a studio or anything like that; I prefer to work wherever I'm living at the time… even if I have to build a makeshift drawing table using some books and an old microwave."
Where do you believe you fit in the artistic world, what is your role?
I think my role as an artist is to connect with people, to make them reflect on important issues and/or to entertain them. My role is also to take them away from their day-to-day life, even if it's just for a few seconds. I don't know if I actually achieve all of this, but it would be nice.
What inspires you the most to produce artwork?
Well, there are three main things that inspire me to create. It's mostly an uncontrollable, obsessive compulsion to create that has me thinking of building, painting, or making something every minute of the day. Sometimes it's actually a problem and it can really interfere with my normal life and basic human needs. I am also inspired to make art when I want to explore a particular issue and raise awareness, and when I see great work by other artists.
What is your ideal environment to work?
I'm actually quite flexible when it comes to my working environment. I like to have access to basic art supplies and tools; but I've gotten used to working with very little since I often travel with the bare essentials. I've never rented a studio or anything like that; I prefer to work wherever I'm living at the time… even if I have to build a makeshift drawing table using some books and an old microwave.
Who are your favorite artists, why?
My favorite artists are not very well known and I often don't even remember their names. I see their artwork on the sides of city buildings, on mailboxes and on light posts. Street art is one of my major inspirations because it's completely free, there's no control, rules, or guidelines. Sometimes I see the most amazing painting or wheat paste on some old newspaper box, and the next day it's gone. I'm not sure why, but I think that's really cool.
What series are you working on now?
I just finished working on a new series called Multi-Tools. I worked on it all summer during a series of artist residencies in Iceland, Berlin, and Barcelona. The series is on display until February 8, 2015 at Railbender Gallery in Ottawa, Canada.
I'm not sure what I'll be working on next - right now I'm house sitting in the US for the winter, after having driven across the country in a camper van. I'm going to take this time to come up with some ideas and think about my next series.
What is the correlation between logical and emotional response of your work?
I really enjoy seeing people respond to my work, whether it's good or bad, emotional or logical. I don't think there's a right or wrong interpretation of anyone's artwork. In my opinion, the viewer decides what they get out of it. The same piece of art can mean something completely different from one person to the next… that's the beauty of it all!

THE KID
"[...] FOREVER CAUGHT BETWEEN INNOCENCE AND CORRUPTION"
Half-Dutch, half-Brazilian, THE KID is a self-educated 22-year-old contemporary artist who questions restlessly since his early teenage years the notion of social determinism and the thin frontier between innocence and corruption.When asked why he chose to put his personal aesthetic and his various technics at the service of these social issues, THE KID likes to quote Oscar Wilde in "The Picture of Dorian Gray":
"Behind every exquisite thing, there is something tragic."
That's the thing, that all his subjects have in common - behind their youth and beauty lies a tragic story - like a flower that is destined to fade. His goal is to "capture them in their defining moments, forever caught between innocence and corruption".
THE KID is a committed supporter of the International Non Governmental Organization Human Rights Watch, which defends Human Rights worldwide, in particular for its fight against unfair social discrimination and inhumane juvenile justice." From his biography.

Oils by Y.Z. KAMI
"Y. Z. Kami is an Iranian painter based in New York City. Kami is known for his portraits of introspective subjects, often with eyes closed as though in meditation. His portraits of family, friends and strangers are pulled from personal photographs, and reveal Kami's deep roots in inter-religious and intercultural subjects. Kami has focused on portraiture for the better part of his career, though he also creates abstract paintings inspired by architecture and influences from his childhood in Iran."

Trenton Doyle Hancock: a heavy mind.
Trenton Doyle Hancock
Trenton Doyle Hancock imagery hits you in the face. Period.
"Influenced equally by the history of painting as by the pulp imagery of pop-culture, Texas-born Trenton Doyle Hancock transforms traditionally formal decisions—such as the use of color, language and pattern—into opportunities to build narrative, develop sub-plots and convey symbolic meaning. Hancock’s works are suffused with personal mythology presented at an operatic scale, often reinterpreting Biblical stories that the artist learned as a child from his family and church community. His exuberant and subversive narratives employ a variety of cultural tropes, ranging in tone from comic-strip superhero battles to medieval morality plays and influenced in style by Hieronymus Bosch, Max Ernst, Henry Darger, Philip Guston and R. Crumb. Text embedded within the paintings and drawings both drives the narrative and acts as a central visual component. Hancock's resulting installations often sprawl beyond canvas edges and onto surrounding gallery walls." Collected from source.

BLOOD SISTER SHARES NEW SINGLE VIA STEREOGUM SELF-TITLED EP OUT 9/30 ON BLOODMOSS RECORDS
Blood Sister is back with their heady brand of blown-out rippers. Ezana Edwards, formerly of Brooklyn act Night Manager, relocated to San Francisco after the band parted ways and initially started jamming with members of Bay Area mainstays such as Ganglians, The Mallard, and Warm Soda for early Blood Sister shows.
Edwards, who handles guitar/vocals, enlisted Vanessa Robinson on bass, Syam Zapalowski on guitar/synthesizer, and K. Dylan Edrich (ex-The Mallard) on drums to complete Blood Sister’s current live band. On his new self-titled EP for Bloodmoss Records, Edwards wrote and recorded all of the songs himself using a variety of studios and techniques that were vital for its completion.
Blood Sister has and will always be as loud as possible, and the dynamic song structures, screeching guitars, and surging blasts this time around don’t just make up songs, they make up a machine. And it’s a vicious one.
