Painter and illustrator Kenichi Hoshine has produced outstanding commercial work and fine art for the better part of a decade. Balancing client commissions from Barnes and Noble, Chase Bank, Ford Motors, and Prevention Magazine, Hoshine offsets his commercial work with the steady creation of elegant exhibition pieces that appear in galleries both stateside and abroad. Working out of his home in Brooklyn, NY, Hoshine says that his ideal work environment must have an abundance of natural light and be relatively quiet. „[Environment] is not terribly important to me,” he adds. „I don’t need a lot of space when I
do my work. I’m content as long as I have a small clearing and a cup of
coffee.” Most recently Hoshine has been hard at work on a series of oil paintings on wood panels. And later this month he’ll be exhibiting at A Pop-Up Project in Washington D.C. In the latest installment of Creative Craft, Mr. Hoshine gives Computerlove a look at his Brooklyn work space.

Florence and the Machine – Dog Days Are Over

Post pobrano z: Florence and the Machine – Dog Days Are Over
Dog Days Are Over is the latest from NYC-based collective Legs for Florence and the Machine – winner of Best British Album at the 2010 Brit Awards.

When asked to describe the video, Legs said, „Florence is the shamanic leader of a surreal orchestra where spiritual elation explodes into smokey psychedelic anarchy. Each musical element of the song is personified by a group of colorful characters that combine 60’s girl groups, Hinduism, gospel choirs, drum circles, paganism and pyrotechnics. Florence is a painted primal force of nature that whips a religious experience into a riot.” 


Dog Days Are Over is produced by Rokkit, who reps Legs in the UK. A Q&A with Legs and full credits are posted here
