Da Bomb: Scotland Seeing Some Colour!

Posted on 07/09/2010 by admin

Now its sometimes rather grey in Scotland, for being on the British isles it tends toward the cloudy and rainy type of weather. But in Scotland, Kelburn Castle was given a bit (well alot) of colour a few years back by a Brazilian crew at the behest of the Boyle clan due to a fire which the castle in a sorry state.  Now officials from Historic Scotland are saying that they’ve had enough of colour and want to go back to the grey and traditional. To be honest its probably the most colourful thing Scotland has seen since, well…for a while, while proving to be quite the tourist attraction as it most likely the ONLY castle in Europe to boast such an array of colours ( so much so that it makes Joseph and His Magic Dreamcoat look dull)! What do you think? Should the castle remain colourful for a little while longer? Or should history take back its course? To be honest I’m a bit for both. Perhaps the laddies can see aye to aye (sorry for the play on words but it was just too good to pass up)

Cinético Productions Presents Special El Mac Poster and forth coming Movie! Check It!

Posted on 07/09/2010 by admin

As some of you may know, Cinético Productions have launched the sale of their forthcoming film, On the Run (due out Winter 2010)  “Cry Now” poster (24X36 inches). Designed by El Mac, I think the poster has a somewhat Shakespearean/V for Vendetta/Mime (old school theatre) feel while maintaining the essence of the film itself (set in Los Angeles) very unique as far as movie posters and definitely worth being added to ones collection! Just the type setting alone conveys that its not the Los Angeles everyone thinks about – like Hollywood, beaches. Theres a toughness yet, vulnerable feel to the piece of art and movie itself.

Check out both teasers of the film below (the poster is featured in the beginning of both teasers)

Graff Artists Coming Out to Spray

Posted on 30/08/2010 by admin

This past weekend, graff artists in different parts of the world came out to spray their stuff  out with the rest of the community without the fear of the police or (bobbies as they say in the UK). This was not a combined event but, rather merely a coincidence as the painting took place in Paterson, New Jersey and Woburn, England.

In Paterson N.J. “artists from around the world, rivals and crewmates alike, have been invited to decorate walls at the school. A group called the Urban Art Foundation will be launched at the meeting. Fashioning itself as an ACLU for those charged with graffiti-related crimes, the group plans to raise legal funds, create a database of attorneys and even attempt to turn some of the city’s high-profile graffiti spots into landmarks or protected areas.”

In Woburn, England some of the best graffiti artists in the country converged on the traditional High Street and be let loose with their spray paints. The live art exhibition known as “Woburn Art Beat” will feature some of the UK’s most exciting street artists whose work literally took shape over the weekend

Da Bomb: Empty Shop Windows Used as Canvas for Graff Artists!

Posted on 20/08/2010 by admin

It’s the brainchild of graffiti artist Chris Guest and photographer Darren Washington. Using everything from spray cans to life-size cut outs, they are decorating empty shop windows in the town with images of the town’s everyday heroes. The project, which takes its name from a Sex Pistols song, has been funded solely by the British Arts Council. Chris told BBC Radio Stoke: “We noticed there were loads of empty shop windows in Newcastle and wanted to do something about it that showed off our work but also celebrates local people.” [BBC]

If you live around Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire or even if you are passing through check out the Pretty Vacant project!!!

Babelgum Actually — gasps — Pays for Users to Create Videos

Babelgum Actually — gasps — Pays for Users to Create Videos
By PATRICK J. SAUER

So far as I know, Babelgum is the only company paying Web-video creators money up front,” says chief revenue officer Douglas Dicconson. And not for low-brow stuff, but ambitious professional works such as British documentarian Daniel Edelstyn’s Vodka Empire, the unlikely 25-part saga of his discovery that he’s heir to a Ukrainian vodka factory, and his attempt to bring Zorokovich 1917 to the modern spirits world. […]

Dicconson says that he closed more revenue in the first quarter of 2010 than in the past three years combined. And momentum continued this past spring as Babelgum’s traffic spiked to 5.7 million visitors a month, when Vamped Out and Vodka Empire first aired. Na zdorovye!

3 to Watch

Dirty Oil
Babelgum’s first fully financed feature film, helmed by Academy Award-nominee Leslie Iwerks, will get its U.S. debut as an episodic series. Dirty Oil examines the economic and ecological impact of the oil sands in Alberta.

Vamped Out
When we last saw our vampiric out-of-work-actor hero Alowisus Hewson (Jason Antoon) in season one, he was sucking a young Hollywood starlet’s blood while formerly skeptical documentary filmmaker Elliot Finke (series writer and director Kevin Pollak) wigged out. Will the 172-year-old thespian find work in a Twilight world?

Bomb It 2
Babelgum produced the original street art/graffiti documentary, and the sequel will profile artists from locations such as Singapore (third offense is a caning!) and the Middle East. “In Israel, there’s a blossoming street-art culture with percolations of ideas,” says director Jon Reiss, “but in the Palestinian refugee camps, everything is political.”
