Paris vs. NYC

Parisvsnyc is a blog that offers a friendly and original graphical comparison using clichés and stereotypes between the two amazing cities. I fell in love at first sight when discovering the different works. I absolutely wanted to share this "coup de coeur" with you.

(By the way do I need to mention that this post have been suggested by Farah R.? Well, yes maybe. Ok now you know the truth, I have to admit I have not been the lucky one who discovered it...)

Enjoy it anyway and don't forget to check the blog out.




Skateistan

Oliver Percovich is an Australian who brought "Skateistan" up to the streets of Kabul. It sounds weird but it is an amazing project.
Since 2007, skateboarding has taken off in the capital thanks to him, and the co-educational skateboarding school raised enough money to build first Afghanistan's skate park!
The aim of "Skateistan" is to give young people an escape from difficult everyday life in Kabul. This non-profit project has obviously attracted international support and it is now getting well known.
"When I got to Afghanistan people told me not to skate with girls because it might attract criticism, not to skate in the streets because it might be dangerous, not to skate with poor kids because they would steal my stuff. But none of that happened, I haven't had any problems with the kids at all". said Olivier Percovich, founder of the project

Please enjoy the video as much as I do.

Cosmic Excerpts

Cosmic Excerpts is a collection by Ryan Todd from Darklord, an electronica producer/DJ from Philadelphia. The collection is a result of lot of years of disco, funk, and cosmic record searching.

He especially made this fascinating mix "Il Suono Scuro" to make you discover his space disco univers.
Todd declared:“I would buy a record and if it happened to have weird, sci-fi artwork then I photographed a portion of the cover for the set, avoiding any words or identifiers as best as possible.”

For those keen on this type of music, this is an amazing piece, believe me.
Relax and enjoy this amazing back to the 70s!

Wham!


Wham! is a Brisith duo formed in 1982 by George Mickael and Andrew Ridgeley. Combining light soul, pop and romantic music, their songs hit the U.K. charts more than once.
Wham! became quickly one of the signatures of the eighties and they were loved by the public, especially teenage girls.

"Nothing looks the same in the light" was released in 1983.

Don't be intimidated, press play! (and don't pay attention to fake video clip. Only the music counts.)

David Hockney


David Hockney is a multi-task English artist born in 1937 in the city of Bradford, England.
He has often been described as a "playboy of the art world", which made an important contribution to the 60s pop art movement. He is considered as one of the most influential British artist of the 20th century.
Indeed, he has exhibited his various works in the most prestigious galleries across the world. His success has not only been based on his works but on his original and strange personality too.
For those interested, a movie was made about him in 1974 and it is entitled "A Bigger Splash".

He has made tons of works including paintings, drawings and photos, so believe me it was hard to select only few of them.
I would recommend you to go on his website if you want to see more about his works.
