Amazing Hand Drawn Artworks

Posted: 06 Jan 2011 07:12 AM PST

Since I was a little kid I have always been drawing all over the place, until I was introduced to Photoshop. Sounds familiar? The digital era and all the digital inspiration tend to keep us away from grabbing a pencil to draw something. That's the reason why I selected Andrey's work to display here today, because they truly inspired me to pick up a pencil myself and attempt to make something good. Try it!

My name is Andrey Shch. Sounds like "shcha" and in spoken Russian means an action being performed "now", at present instant.
I work in a small but highly gifted collective or, to be more precise, in a group of like-minded people. And this is SHCH graphics group.

We create unique things, which look simple on the surface but are ingenious in their essence and thought.
We create design filled with emotions and feelings.
Muse

Photography Inspiration: Rastafari

Posted: 06 Jan 2011 07:02 AM PST

I'm a huge fan of the rastafari culture and reggae music, since it's summer here in Brazil, I though would be cool to share this kind of inspiration with you guys. So we made a huge collection of rastafari photography inspired, hope you like it.

The Rastafari movement or Rasta is a monotheistic, new religious movement that arose in a Christian culture in Jamaica in the 1930s.[1][2] Its adherents worship Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, former Emperor of Ethiopia (1930–1936 and 1941–1974), as God incarnate, the Second Advent, and are known as Rastafarians, or Rastas. The movement is sometimes referred to as "Rastafarianism", but this term is considered derogatory and offensive by some Rastas, who dislike being labelled as an "ism".[3] (Wikipedia)

The Rastafari movement encompasses themes such as the spiritual use of cannabis[4][5] and the rejection of western society (called Babylon, in reference more to the metaphorical Babylon of Christianity than to the historical Mesopotamian city-state). It proclaims Africa (also "Zion") as the original birthplace of mankind, and embraces various Afrocentric social and political aspirations[4][6], such as the sociopolitical views and teachings of Jamaican publicist, organizer, and black nationalist Marcus Garvey (also often regarded as a prophet) (Wikipedia).
