Frida Castelli

Art Appreciation

I came across a work by Frida Castelli titled Love Unconditional from a blog I follow, Art Mirrors Art. It shows a naked girl licking the mirror's reflection of herself. The title provides the narrative that the girl loves herself unconditionally.

Not much is known of the Italian illustrator; however, Castelli's work, as a writer explains, qualifies her as a "artist, photographer, poet and teacher of eroticism."

In an interview with Luci Erre Gi of L'Insicuro, Castelli explained that she uses the following technique and utensils: "Each design is born with the idea of ​​representing a state of mind as precisely as possible, in order to communicate it in a clear and detailed way. The process thus arises with a moment of reflection and analysis, scanning all the emotions as if they were objects to be retrieved in a basement, put them in order, catalog them, and finally expose them. On the practical side, it's about making some quick drafts, define it with the pencil and then color it. As background colors use ecoline inks, I define the shadows with colored pencils and finally sketch contours with Pantone markers. "

You can see more of her erotic work HERE.

Veteran's Day

The concept of honoring those who served in the military started with President Woodrow Wilson on November 11, 1919 following the one year anniversary of the armistice between the Allies and Germany.

On June 4, 1926, the U.S. Congress adopted a resolution to celebrate Armistice Day as a legal holiday. In 1945, the holiday was expanded to celebrate all veterans. Then in 1954, Congress replaced "Armistice" with "Veterans."

Thank a Veteran, today.

Tracks 83: Music Mix 1985 Part 2

What I remember about 1985 were the many iconic films, such as Back to the Future, and The Breakfast Club. Both films produced memorable songs: Simple Minds' Don't You and Huey Lewis and the News' Power of Love.

Miami Vice, the popular TV show, had a significant influence in music and fashion. Sinéad O'Connor, Kate Bush, Phil Collins, Bryan Adams, Tina Turner, Power Station, and Willy Nelson contributed their music to the show. The Italian men's fashion of a sports coat, t-shirt, white linen pants, loafers, and the five o'clock shadow was popularized by the show's two main characters, Crockett and Tubbs.

Carl Theodor Thiemann

Art Appreciation

Born on November 10, 1881, Carl Theodor Thiemann was an Austrian-German painter, lithographer, and woodcutter known for his graphic methods. He was a member of the Vienna Secession, an art movement formed in 1897 by a group of Austrian artists, and of the German Artists' Union. Thiemann was also the co-founder of an artists' association known as the Künstlervereinigung Dachau.

Film Appreciation

In 2002, Eminem (Marshall Bruce Mathers III) starred in the American drama film, 8 Mile--a movie about a young white rapper in Detroit's 8 Mile Road. The movie, which starred Kim Basinger and Brittany Murphy, was a blockbuster and earned Eminem the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Lose Yourself."
