Arrow to Arrow..

Jess Fogel just alerted me to her latest endeavor, Arrow to Arrow. An online, meticulously curated, gallery/shop which offers one of a kind artwork, exclusive limited edition prints and other special small run products. It's just in it's beginning stages, what we like to call a soft opening here in the biz. (You can use that, it'll make you feel important. ;) At the moment Arrow to Arrow is offering work from our faves Lisa Congdon, Aidan Koch and Molly Schafer. I am really digging the thoughtful selections and I know you guys will too. Eat it up! I'll keep you posted as they add new items.

julie morstad..

opening side by side to michael swaney's whitehorse, yellowknife, red deer at atelier is julie morstad's show touch wood and whistle. featuring ten, new ink and watercolor drawings all exploring children's games.

'morstad's delicately rendered lines and assured sense of colour evoke an eerie nostalgia as she channels illustrations from children's books and exposes their underlying darkness. she states that when creating her whimsically wicked ink and watercolour drawings, "hazy memories of childhood fuel much of my recent work, and the narratives of fairytales and folklore are ones that i have drawn upon repeatedly. being a child of the age of the commoditized and marketable fairytale, my drawings reflect both an unabashed delight in the preciousness of this narrative as well as a conscious subversion of the same."'

morstad's use of mischief within her drawings is brilliant. it's going to be an amazing night at atelier gallery!

Stephanie Simek Jewelry. .

Adornment fascinates me. I love how we live in this super evolved (some would argue...) society and yet we still wear symbols and signs to let people around us know where our aesthetics are at. I am always super drawn to jeweler's that work with unique and non-traditional materials. Stephanie Simek transforms shells, fauna and egg shells into beautiful pieces of wearable art. That Illuminated Sea Cookie pin would look slammin on a tweed vintage coat! Oh, or the Pussy Willow earrings?!

Be sure to check out Stephanie's latest project; her Sound Locket. She collaborated with five musicians to create this unique piece that literally holds a song.

ana bagayan..

how much do we love little baby animals? we so do. ana bagayan just added a five print mini set of her 'mother's babies' pieces to her store. the print set is babes featured in her solo show at billy shire fine arts that opened last weekend . i first saw ana's work on kirsten anderson's blog, right some good. i fell in love w/ ana's work. ana is exploring "brooding as opposed to morbidity" in her latest paintings. what better way to explore this then w/ cutie pie animals. ana asks: "please give tobie, sammy and roger, stuart, chuck, and ginger a loving home!". how could you deny her?

WRC Powerslide trailer ufficiale e modalità di gioco

Dopo aver annunciato la svolta arcade del titolo WRC nello scorso dicembre, Milestone, adesso, svela le modalità di gioco del suo WRC Powerslide e mostra il suo trailer ufficiale.

Il titolo è un vero e proprio spin-off di WRC 3 in cui gli sviluppatori hanno mixato auto e ambientazioni tipiche della serie ad elementi arcade che donano la possibilità di vivere l’esperienza del Rally più puro.

WRC Powerslide includerà le seguente opzioni:

•    Single Player: il giocatore sarà condotto attraverso le diverse categorie di gioco (Class3, Class2 e WRC) e permettergli di apprendere le tecniche per gareggiare al meglio contro avversari sempre più forti e competitivi. Basato su un sistema di contenuti sbloccabili attraverso 3 tipologie di medaglie (Bronzo, argento e oro – solo quest’ultima garantirà l’accesso al contenuto) il giocatore dovrà gareggiare a tutto gas per sbloccare ben 8 Rally e 24 special stage che compongono il mondo di WRC Powerslide.

•    Multiplayer: Nella modalità di gioco online il giocatore ha tre opzioni principali: Quick Match che automaticamente valuta i profili online compatibili per esperienza e permette di competere con giocatori da ogni parte del mondo; Custom Match che offre la possibilità di impostare diversi filtri per la ricerca dei profili più vicini alle esigenze di ogni giocatore; Create Match per creare una lobby dedicata e gareggiare online con i propri amici .

In fase di sviluppo presso lo studio italiano Milestone, WRC Powerslide sarà disponibile nella primavera 2013 su Playstation®Network e Xbox LIVE®.
