Why Don’t You Shoot the Evileader?
The full title of this piece in which pulp is married to satire under a dark cloud of gloomy 'je ne sais quoi' is acutally Why Don’t You Shoot the Evileader? It Destroyed Countless Dreams to Bits, Grinning in Your Face. And it's a few steps out of my comfort zone...

Mother's Milk (Martin del Carpio, 2017)
☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼ out of 10☼
In less than three minutes of his poignantly beautiful film Mother's Milk, NYC-based artist Martin del Carpio manages to capture more emotion than some two-hour-long tear-jerkers, and he does so via framing each shot around the wrinkled hands of his (now deceased) mother, as she pensively leafs through an old book and diary, graciously expresses her piety and hesitatingly approaches the box of pills.
Carefully edited by the author's frequent collaborator William Murray and drenched in solemn silence only broken by crackling sounds (think old film projector), the simple, yet highly effective imagery of ethereal black and white transcends its 'ordinariness' and closely approaches the sublime, exuding with heartfelt love for all the life-givers of the world.
Mother's Milk is available on del Carpio's official YouTube channel.

Equilibrium
Not to be confused with Kurt Wimmer's dystopian film of the same name, Equilibrium is my 100 and somethingth collage which follows the similarly twisted / dream logic of Glum Glamour artbook, borrowing its dominating color palette of golds, sepias, browns, creams and oranges - a direction that I'll probably take for the most of my future artworks.

Namely, it is Glum Glamour - a PDF artbook which includes a selection of my collages in hi-resolution, with 13 brand-new artworks (+ front and back covers + over 20 supplementary 'mini artworks'), available for purchase on ITCH.IO for a symbolic price of

The Crescent (Seth A. Smith, 2017)
☼☼☼☼☼☼☼(☼) out of 10☼
Featuring one of the best-looking recent opening sequences which also introduces the film's leitmotif of marble painting, The Crescent is a solid Canadian chiller from the second-time feature director Seth A. Smith who casts his own toddler Woodrow Graves in one of the two central roles (the other being Danika Vandersteen in her shaky debut), and lulls you into a state of melancholic dream turned insidious, undulating, psychologically disorienting nightmare via deliberate pacing, extremely unnerving score, aspect ratio changes and jaunts into surreal territory which make the geometrically rigid architecture of the exquisite beach house setting quite Escher-esque.
