“The Revolution Network” and “The Revolution Pop” – Art Prints by LifeVersa
Artist LifeVersa says that both his latest screen prints were inspired by a famous poem of Gil Scott Heron, and a quote from an old Noam Chomsky book.
These are the first in what I hope to be an ongoing “Revolution” series and will also be available in matching sets. 2 variant prints will also be released. Both regular and variant are 18"x24" hand pulled screen prints.
The limited-edition prints will come hand numbered and signed by the artist, and will be available on January 20th. Click here for more details.

Matthew Wade’s Surreal Art
Los Angeles-based animator, artist and illustrator, Matthew Wade’s brilliant artwork is reminiscent of the edgy and bizarre fare that was featured in the MTV of the late ‘80s to the early ’90s, especially on shows like MTV Oddities and Liquid Television.
Matthew says his work can be loosely described as pop/modern/‘90s surrealism, but slotting it in any single genre (as with most great art), would be a huge disservice to it.
Matthew was trained in classical animation, something which is reflected to an extent in his work. He counts pop culture, The Simpsons, and, of course, early ’90s MTV as his major influences.

Ephemeral Memory – A Beautiful Photo Series on Indigenous Australians
"Ephemeral Memory" is a visually arresting photo series by Jeremy Blincoe, a Melbourne-based photographer.
His previous series “Fleeting Embrace” touched upon the decaying health of our once pristine environment, and the tenuous link created by it to future generations. His latest, a narrative series focusing on indigenous Australians, may have an ethereal, fable-like quality to it, but there is more to it than meets the eye at first glance.
Here is what Jeremy has to say about his photographs:
Eighteen months ago, I started boxing at the Melbourne Aboriginal Youth and Recreation Centre. Through this, I met, and established friendships with some really amazing indigenous people. Conversation led to further research, which inspired me to create a series of photographs that explore – and provides a commentary on – poignant issues surrounding Indigenous Australians.
