The man, the myth, the painter…. Ricky Allman. From stoic serene landscapes plunge forth beams of bright light geometry, metallic structures and such futuristic shapes I can’t even fully wrap my mind around what’s he’s got going on. This is what our planet would look like if “2001 A Space Odyssey” merged with a dance club and then the master disc jockey was Mr. Allman himself. I absolutely would not object at all — in fact this art makes me curious about what sort of beats Ricky Allman would mix…If you recognize his art, you might have seen his interview in Juxtapoz Magazine, if not you should head right on over and check it out.

*PS also you could take a cool painting/drawing class from him at University of MO-Kansas City, if you feel so inclined.

Keeping it real, Portland-based photographer, Anna Verlet.

I found this lady recently and she rekindled my love for nostalgic nature imagery, and with spring coming up, she inspires me to save up for polaroid film (not on the cheap side), and drive out to the penninsula (or down 101 as far as I can go) stopping to make memories along the way. Cheers to 2011 adventures.
