War is Art
A political poster designed by Jesus Barraza submitted to Art of Politics contest
If you have a word to say about Peace and are able to design a poster, Join ArabAd Peace Poster Design Contest before it's too late.

"we shall return no matter how long it takes," reads that poster--designed by 'yasary-masry'--supporting the Palestinian cause.
By Leftist, an Egyptian national very much into the graphic social & political arts, with a bold & unique approach while tackling socio-political matters. He speaks loud his discontent & makes clear his dissent to many worldwide symptoms, including dictatorships, freedom of the press, globalisation, capitalism, wild liberalism, the dichotomy of the society, human rights etc.
He often subverts international brand's identity to make a statement.
Here is someone, who believes firmly in the power of communication, as an effective tool to impact social change.
You can have a look on his Flickr stream. You are certain to be amazed.
It's great & sharp work!

Face Off
Originally uploaded by KEMARCH.
Here is one stunning portrait i came across, while surfing some A-maz-ing 'Flickery' photostreams.
Today, discovered some stunning artwork, by nicknamed Kemarch, one bloody skilled Lebanese -- which made the discovery greater than the usual-- a student of architecture, whose into digiart and photography.
Kemarch's main focus seems to be on portraiture and landscape, remixed from the imagery he shoots himself.
The result is as twisted as it gets, filled with texture, depth and surprises, creating vibrant, emotional work.
Sugarpop is charmed & so will you!
This featured hot psychedelic portrait is one of my favourite pick from the pool... However, there is more to blow you down...

Body Orchestra
A group of performers, who deliver unusual rhythmic sounds from within, are due to perform this summer, in my funky town Beirut-- actually at Byblos International Festival.
Initiated by the musician Fernando Barba, out of his interest in extracting sounds from his own body, the group holds his name from that habit labeled with the word 'barbatuques.' -- ("batuque" can be loosely translated as "percussion").
Got the news from the group itself on virb community, where they confirmed being scheduled for two nights --25, 26 July...
That's perfectissimo!
Back to normal for Lebanon!! Music will hopefully be the cure and bring about some warmth during the summer, as we are all ready to give Peace a dance and rock with all three prestigious music Festival [Baalbeck, Beiteddine and Byblos].
Apart from Lebanese born Mika, set to rock the crowd of the Heliopolis, programmes haven't been officially announced yet for all three.
However, here I am, breaking the news for all of you out there interested in eclectic sounds.
Claps, snaps, beating of the chest, mouth noises, vocals, and several other sounds will be combined in the production of rhythms and melodies of BARBATUQUES, the Brazilian group.
Barbatuques is a full orchestra of Nanás, playing their bodies like locos, and creating some of the most uplifting and humorous music you can get these days. Barbatuques are dubbed "Body orchestra” where all musicians improvise on the same instrument, as they develop an artistic show, while exploring the innumerable sounds that can be produced by the human body.
Formed in Sao Paulo in 1996, Fernando Barba’s troupe travel the world over in thigh-slapping style.
One definite thing, is that the Lebanese audience can count on getting a deep dive into one memorable musical experience, thanks to Barbatuques' performance due at the magical Phoenician coastal city of Byblos. Whether you consider this to be sound choreography or body music, their performance is said to be a treat for percussion enthusiasts.
From traditional Brazilian rhythms to those of funk or hip-hop, again, an assurance that the public is sure to find something in this amazing group’s repertoire; the least being a sensational exploration of the percussive rhythmic landscape of Brazil.
Summertime, and the living is eaaaaaaaaaasyyyyy...........

Obama Rocks
I love Barack Obama. He represents the Hope, Change, Progress that --not only America-- but the whole world is in dire need of. He represents a new era of positive change. As a support to the future president of the US ;0) have remixed Shepard Fairey infamous poster [below]. On top, my gift to the man who mirrors all the colours of the world, its lights and all shades. He's such a positive energy to humanity as a whole, he's certainly able to help people delete 'the wicked Bush years.'
So here it is; a pop design for Rocking Oby --[a play on Fairey's Mega OBEY].
Here is the Progress visual, one of the triptych [Hope, Change, Progress] created by Obey's Shepard Fairey as a support to Obama; the original limited edition offset lithographs got sold on eBay, as fast as a lightning; signed and numbered by the artist, their price reached US $900. Even the stickers are selling like pancakes and, if I remember correctly, they are sold out too.
"I wanted to make an art piece of Barack Obama because I thought an iconic portrait of him could symbolize and amplify the importance of his mission. I believe Obama will guide this country to a future where everyone can thrive and I should support him vigorously for the sake of my two young daughters. I have made art opposing the Iraq war for several years, and making art of Obama, who opposed the war from the start, is like making art for peace. I know I have an audience of young art fans and I’m delighted if I can encourage them to see the merits of Barack Obama.” Shepard Fairey

Optical Trip
Our World is one bloody Illusion, Life is an optical Confusion, whereas Society is one hell of a delusion.
In the meantime, here are some mind games that combine all three attributions, but are all just plane optical Illusion...
scary illusion, but do you see any elegant women in there?
Beautiful scene. But there is something more to it
Escher - monkey me
Reversible figure and ground
Try to arrange dices like this
Reversible figure and ground
See the face of a soldier and a man that is bending over on the below eye illusion
And some bits of info, so you don't log out with more discombobulation from my bubble to yours. It is said, there are three main types of illusion
- literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them;
- physiological illusions that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type - brightness, tilt, color, movement;
- cognitive illusions where the eye and brain make unconscious inferences.
check the eye trick site if you'd like greater twist of the mind...
