A Turbulent Black Sea Fills a Three-Story Wall in Kiev, Ukraine
London-born and Cape Town-based artist Jake Aikman paints scenes that aim to capture the mysterious nature of environments at the edge of civilization, producing dramatic seascapes and dense patches of tropical forests in his oil paintings. His latest work moves from canvas to wall, upscaling his practice for the first time to produce a three-story tall mural of a stormy Black Sea. The two-layer public painting was produced for Art United Us over nine days last month in Kiev, Ukraine. You can see more of Aikman’s work on his Instagram and through SMAC Gallery where he is represented. (via Brooklyn Street Art )

crss10 Beach Items for a Carefree and Cool Summer
The beach is an enticing place. The cool breeze, the lapping waves, and the glorious sunshine. It’s the perfect escape from our hectic and busy day-to-day lives.
It’s no wonder that so many of us choose to visit beach resorts for our vacations.
However, there are some issues with spending time beside the sea. These include, how to keep your valuables safe when you decide to paddle or swim – and how to stop your expensive electronic equipment from getting damaged by water or sand.
To make your beach vacations as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, we’ve put together a list of 10 must-have beach items.
Enjoy ice-cool wine while relaxing at the beach
This neat winecoat bag allows you to safely and easily carry wine to the beach. And if you want the wine to be served chilled, there is room for an ice pack. You can also fill it with any beverage you like, by using the disposable beverage bag.

As you’d expect, the Beach Vault is water and sand-resistant.
