Wang's Winning Formula

Happy February!

Let me introduce Tianyin Wang to you. He comes from an artsy family in Shanghai but now lives in the UK. Wang combines blisteringly real elements with abstract splurges to form wonderful illustrations. He's funny and amusing on one level, but scary and dark on others. His images are pleasant to look at but can haunt you.

Wang has been published in many magazines and been hired for many "art gigs". However, his work can be bought privately as well.

The piece above is called "Tiger" and it's just incredible. The subject is astonishing and seductive. The first look tells you she's to be kept clear of, but then she looks sweet. From then, you're torn as to what she is. Maybe she just is.

Peace & Love,
Dewey

For Izibor...

I'm not sure about clogging up my blog with things unrelated to art, however, this is a special case. As with artworks, a song or musical composition can have a huge impact on you or no impact at all. I'm an incredibly avid music fan and love the way that one song can take you from a feeling of loneliness and desperation to a wonderful, magical place where nothing matters.

I recently came across Laura Izibor who's song "Shine" makes me feel like a new person each time I hear it. She rockets me to a positive, uplifted mood and never fails to make me stop and appreciate what I have. I won't smother you with any more, just have a listen - you won't be disappointed.



This video isn't the best quality, but it's fitting. Who cares if it's rough and ready - her music is soulful, beautiful and raw no matter what.

Peace & Love,
Dewey
