Courtney Love ‘And she’s not even Pretty’
May 12, 2012 | posted in Art, Drawing, Events, Painting | by Ilja Keizer | Leave a comment
Nice works by singer Courtney Love who apparently, also paints. The colorful works are made using a mixed technique of watercolour paint and drawing, finished of with snippets of texts. They handle dark themes, with the works having pretty depressing titles like ‘post mortem’ and ‘everybody I love goes away in the end’ as well as[...]
Bina Baitel ‘Tarah’
May 12, 2012 | posted in Design, Furniture | by Ilja Keizer | Leave a comment
Love the design of this piece of furniture by Bina Baitel, which’s name refers to the verb “Tarah” in Arabic, which means “to throw down” and is derived from “matrah” which became the French word for “mattress”. It almost looks like some organism, alien-like creature with huge tongue. Dunno if it’s all too handy in[...]

I’m a great lover of creative and original magazine covers, and equally fond of artists using the original covers as a canvas for their art-works, as recently shown here. Exactly the reason, why I was happy to discover the brilliant things London based illustrator Hattie Stewart is doing with her cover based graphic art-works. Adding[...]
Kanye West ‘Lost in the World’
May 4, 2012 | posted in Art, Music, film | by Ilja Keizer | Leave a comment
Kanye West just released the official vid for ‘Lost is the World’, a track that probably is the best track of his critically acclaimed My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album. And probably is the best vid of this year so far. The amazing high energy black and white video featuring Kanye himself as well as[...]

Op woensdagavond 9 mei van 19.00 tot 21.00 zal het avondprogramma van de Amsterdamse bioscoopzaal De Uitkijk op ‘De Poezenavond‘ gevuld worden met YouTube-filmpjes waarin katten de hoofdrol spelen.
