My favorite artist of all time Vladimir Kush has a new website up for a new animation/film that he has recently put out. The new website that Vladimir has published is called Metaphorical Voyage. He is taking his art in a new direction by doing a film/animation collaboration to bring his paintings to life in a new medium.

Vladimir Kush – Metaphorical Voyage from Meta Journey on Vimeo. I have to admit this looks pretty cool, music may be a little be over the top at times but virtually every trailer has cheesy music lately and the animation does look cool.

I am definitely going to have to pick up a DVD of this at some point this year. Been so busy as of late I haven’t even had time to check back in and see what my top artists and musicians have been creating.

But apparently VK has been pretty busy because when I found discovered the new site I also stumbled across a whole slew of new pieces I have not seen before.

I think this new painting best describes the last six months of my life and my current mindset!

Go check out Vladimir’s new project at http://www.metaphoricalvoyage.com/ it is bound to be something completely rad and awe-inspiring. His work just seems to always be getting better, there are very few people on earth who can create things this beautiful or amazing.

Hopefully some treasure is coming our way very soon! I have been working really hard here launching all these new projects and ideas lately, bound to payoff sooner or later.

Imogen Heap has been busy for the past two years creating one of the most highly anticipated albums of the decade (Ellipse), she is pushing the boundaries of everything from the idea of what music is, multimedia and proving what social media can do by connecting artists directly with their fans. HAVE A LISTEN!

Imogen Heap Ellipse (Album Trailer)

If you have not heard Immi’s soundscapes & emotional states,  music before or heard the 1st single from Ellipse:

First Train Home (First Single)

Still not sure that Imogen Heap is quite pushing the boundaries, check the symbolism and metaphors in:

Canvas  (Video)

Artist struggling to survive should take Immi’s lead and create more experiences for their fans like this. They will not have problems selling models, if they innovate like this.  If you only buy one album this year, this should be it. The album will be dropping on August 25th 2009. Ellipse is coming…go get it while you still can.

Amazing right?  Beauty is inspirational.  I love art that is outside the box and in your life.  In this case art that is outside the frame and on your sidewalk.

As I have begun to go about changing many things in my life which I am not particularly thrilled with, I have found myself seeking new ways of being and one of my greatest resources for change is music.  There is a hook in the middle of this Dredg song called “Same ol’ Road” that I absolutely love which is akin to poetic philosophy:

“All you need is a modest house in a modest neighborhood
In a modest town where honest people dwell
Making the cleanest energy for the greenest plants to grow
Richest soil that is drenched with the freshest rain
Then you should sit in your backyard
Watch clouds peak over the tallest mountain tops
Cuz they unveil honest opinions about the stars”

I am using these lyrics as a kind of personal mantra to help de-clutter my life, my head and keep in focus the things I value in life.  Here is the video of the song which is itself a visual work of art:

If you have not heard music by Dredg, go check them out because their music is amazing and they are even better live.

People should do this more, artists try to describe it and some do succeed.
