What started out as a fun idea by Hunter Freeman turned into a full-fledged series. I adore this. One of my favorite things in art/photography in general is having odd/peculiar things/people in everyday situations and this fits my obsession to a T.

Check out more of Freeman’s photography (and displayed larger than here) through the via link.

Yesterday, June 1st, marks the first anniversary of this blog! I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I’ve started this thing and I’m so happy at how it’s grown and developed it’s own tone and voice.

I’m so grateful for all of you my readers and thank you for all your kind messages, submissions, suggestions, and your time.

It blows my mind how large both those numbers are, especially the first one. I can personally thank both the awesome link on the sidebar of Bobby Solomon’s blog, Kitsune Noir and especially (and more recently), StumbleUpon, which discovered my site about three months ago sending about 300 hits a day my way until just this past month where everything started to explode like wildfire. Now, when I say “explode”, I mean it. Just in this past month alone thanks to StumbleUpon, I received 530,000 hits.

Again, thanks! and I look forward to another year :)

“For a 2008 exhibit aptly titled “Back to the Future,” artist Nils Guadagnin sculpted an exact replica of the hoverboard used in the film series, and fitted it with an electromagnetic system that allows the board to levitate above its electromagnetic plinth.”

“PaperMonster Ate That Little That Little Boy” is the latest titled of PaperMonster’s solo exhibition opening July 2nd in Philadelphia, PA at the Vincent Michael Gallery.

PaperMonster will show over twenty new works of stencil art collages on canvas full of powerful portraits of women exploring themes of strength, fear, passion, and mystery. Several portraits are woven together with combinations of women and animals; each speaking to the strength, ferocity, and power that women carry within.

His collage work within each painting allows the audience to develop their own perception and theories as to who these people are and what they hide.

PaperMonster will also be having an artist talk on July 24th from 2-4pm covering his thoughts on stencil art and the art world at large. You can find more on PaperMonster and his solo show over at: http://papermonster.wordpress.com

Thanks for sending this in PaperMonster!
