Hyperrealistic Paintings

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Tom Martin is a young English artist who  makes use of acrylic paint to create the most amazing paintings. Looking at them you could swear they are simple photographs, but in reality they are painstakingly painted by hand.  Hyperrealism evolved from the “photorealism” movement of the 1970s, and it’s dedicated to making artworks that are “more real than real”. Hyperrealists try not just copy a photograph with paint, but emphasize elements that were not evoked by the original. 23-year-old Tom Martin is already one of the most respected hyperrealist artist in the world, with works featured in art exhibitions all around the world.  Just have a look at his amazing super-sized paintings and tell me if you’d have known they aren’t simple photos or computer generated images.

FILM NOIR FANTASY: “Little Quentin”

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

One of my favorite genres of film is “film noir”.  It’s is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize cynical attitudes and sexual motivations. Hollywood’s classic film noir period is generally regarded as extending from the early 1940s to the late 1950s. Film noir of this era is associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography. Many of the prototypical stories and much of the attitude of classic noir derive from the hardboiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the Depression.  The term film noir, French for “black film”, first applied to Hollywood films by French critic Nino Frank in 1946, was unknown to most American film industry professionals of the classic era.  Here is an comical animated example of the film noir genre:

AMERICAN MARILYN MICKEY D MOUSE MAMMARY EMBLEM

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Three of the most iconic American symbols are the American Flag, Mickey Mouse and Marilyn Monroe, MacDonalds Golden Arches (that look just like) Big Mammaries.  What could be a more fitting way to memorialize these unabashed emblems of The American Way than an official “American Marilyn Mickey D Mouse Mammary Emblem”?  Every citizen of the New World Order will instantly recognize this indelible memorial as a symbol of American dominance over their minds, the loins and stomachs. Every American military base defending every American oil company property (and opium poppy field) around the planet should display this emblem proudly as reassurance that America is really the just a sweet, sexy, tasty and cute little country!  I’m Lovin’ it!
