One Of The Most Incredible Photos Ever Taken

Thich Quang Duc, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk who burned himself alive in protest to the persecution of Buddhists by the Roman Catholic church in South Vietnam. Inspiring.

Jacek Yerka

Moving slightly away from the realist artists that I was blogging about a few days ago, I've recently fallen a bit in love with Jacek Yerka. He takes images and memories from his childhood and distorts their "grey, somewhat horrifying reality" into fantasy landscapes of his own creation. The confused perspective and calculated chaos of their contents results in whimsical, sometimes mythical, sometimes slightly science fiction imaginings. This makes Yerka's work the perfect tool of escapism for both its creator and its viewer.

On The Road

'the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.'
- On The Road by Jack Kerouac
