In case you were wondering who's responsible for the cover version being used on the recent F&F advert, it's LA-based trio Automatic

The web site is insecure, alas. But thanks for this cool new version of one of my favorite post-punk songs. I also saw them at Hurrah. I miss that place.

In the foreground, we see Vandal Savage. His head is turned to the right so all we see is his hair as he speaks to someone in the background who’s costume is clearly visible, but his head and his right shoulder are still hidden and shadow. Savage says, “Superman! What do you WANT here?“

Léon Spilliaert is often considered a painter but he was primarily a draftsman. While a painter typically works with brushes and paint on canvas or plaster, Spilliaert employed other techniques. He used ink, pastel, watercolor, gouache and pencil, and worked almost exclusively on paper or cardboard.

The painting is titled Trees by the Belgian Symbolist artist Léon Spilliaert.
The artwork depicts a tranquil forest scene, with several tall, slender tree trunks dominating the foreground. The trees, rendered with a meticulous, textured detail, stand on a grassy forest floor. In the middle ground, a smaller, bushy tree with bare branches is visible, framed by the larger trunks. The background consists of a hazy, light-colored sky, creating a sense of depth and a tranquil, contemplative atmosphere.

Upcoming exhibition from the MFA in Boston: “‘Faces in the Crowd: Street Photography’ explores the evolving techniques photographers have used to record the human experience as it has played out in populous urban spaces…” [mfa.org]

Faces in the Crowd: Street Photography

The ubiquity of camera phones today has very much made all the world a stage. In the modern city, photographers are now less concerned with surreptitiously capturing an image and much more likely to collaborate with their subjects in the street. Drawn to photography’s narrative potential, many emplo
