really-shit:

There has not been much news coverage about the extensive damage Dominica received as a result of the passing of Tropical Storm Ericka. Parts of the island are inaccessible and so badly damaged that even helicopters are unable to land to provide relief. Many families living along the riverside perished as flash floods dramatically increased in the early AM and swept away their homes and themselves.

If you have a dollar or two, please consider donating to this relief fund so that we can get people safe and on the road to recovery.

Please help!

Minimalist Geometric Paintings by Jan Kalab

Jan Kalab born 1978 is a Czech artist that was one of the pioneers of graffiti in his homeland. As a founder of the DSK crew, his career stretched from Prague’s train yards to painting whole cars in NYC in 2000. 

Around that time, he developed an interest for 3D graffiti and eventually started sculpting huge abstracts letters. This eventually evolved into passion for abstraction when in 2007 he graduated from the Academy of fine Arts of Prague. One year later, he had his first solo show and continued actively creating works and showing worldwide. Over time, his works became more geometric based with squares and circles as the main shapes or forms he uses. After successfully introducing his work in the US last year, Kalab has several shows scheduled, with a big solo show in Prague coming on the 29th of June at Villa Pelle. Follow him on Facebook.

Paintings by Giuseppe Velardo

@Giuseppe Velardo born in Mariano Comense, Italy in 1983 is a self taught painter currently living in Como, Italy.

Above all I wanted to see if I was able to convey emotions, feelings on canvas. The only constant has always been the subject of my work, the human figure, which is the only thing that interested me until now, and my colour palette has always been limited by choice and taste. At first I tried to paint subjects as closeas possible to reality, then I started to disfigure, to deform, to follow my instincts more. 

I realized hat the more you try to escape the harsh and cruel reality the more you fall. I try to express loneliness, frustration, restlessness, a constant search for something.

Street Artist: Pejac

Pejac (featured previously 1, 2) is a Spanish artist whose street art combines elements of surrealism, fantasy with the minimalist style. Most of his works are his street murals, which cleverly incorporate the surrounding architectural features into the compositions. He is also an accomplished painter and illustrator on more traditional surfaces like canvas. Some of his street art is also site-specific, playing with its surroundings. via
