YAW Sisters by Kervin Brisseaux

And we have a cracker release from Depthcore. This time titled “Mythic”. Read on below:

The Depthcore Collective is proud to releases it’s 40th themed chapter exhibition, ‘MYTHIC‘.

One of our most thematic relevant Chapters ever, ‘MYTHIC’ is the result of five months of careful planning, research and stylistic experimentation from the collective. The slow creative process has resulted in a Chapter that has been meticulously crafted, workshopped from sketches through to completed pieces, thoroughly taking advantage of the collaborative collective experience. Several of the pieces presented in this collection were composed over the course of several months, taking on board feedback from our artist base at each stage of completion to try and fully realize their full potential, and ultimately create a Chapter that is carefully considered, conceptualized and executed.

This chapter features several stunning contributions from the wonderfully talented Raphael Vincenzi, earning him the Featured Artist nod for this collection; click here to peruse the traditional interview. This Chapter is also notable for the abundance of it’s collaborations, including several pairings never before seen – make sure to explore thoroughly to discover these unusual visual experiments.

Stay tuned over the next few weeks for some extra content releases from the collective, including some video interviews, live chats with various DC artists, a couple of fun community competitions as well as artist process walkthroughs! Follow us on Twitter for updates and announcements – we’re going to make the wait for the next chapter a little more fun this time!

Enjoy ‘MYTHIC‘ – we look forward to hearing your thoughts!.

Scout Crossing

Every now and again in my trollings I come across a web comic that’s of particular quality. Scout Crossing has a quirky indie feel to it that is seldom pulled off this well. For anyone looking for something to do for the afternoon, or anyone looking to buff up their RSS reader portfolio; Scout Crossing is likely to be a steady option.

I’m a little behind the news-wagon on this but I just can’t stop watching this, it’s shot so damn nicely!

It’s shot with a Canon 5D MKII using it’s relatively new dslr video technology.

You can find out more about it on Philip Bloom’s blog entry.

Earlier this week, one of the better animated films this year was released out on DVD and Blu-Ray. Which is of coarse, the stop-motion masterpiece that is Fantastic Mr. Fox. This movie follows the story of Mr. Fox (George Clooney) who once was a known swindler, until he settled down & started a family with Mrs. Fox (Meryl Streep). Like a good father, he has to change his old ways for the safety of his family, but Mr. Fox just can’t let go of his old ways and want’s to go on one last raid, something big and wild and the hijinks ensues. Anyways…I thought, in order to get some of you guys to check out this film I’d post some interesting artworks + video I found around the net.

Depthcore: XXXIX Eve

rtbox — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 23:23:39 +0000

Mixed Emotions by Rik Oostenbrook

After roughly 3 months Depthcore has released it’s latest artpack titled ‘Eve’:

In this Chapter, artists both old and new have submitted their interpretations of a concept that greatly excited us as a collective from the moment it was first suggested. Our members have created over eighty original pieces, including strong showings across all mediums, examining and interpreting the theme to produce work that deals predominately with time and transition; calms before storms, moments before change, instants before impact.

Whilst there are many highlights to the chapter, there are a couple of items of especial note. ‘EVE’ has seen multiple wonderful debuts, including incredible submissions from Larisa Glushakova, Duda Lanna, Alex Casteels and photographer Chris Knight. Rik Oostenbrook compiled an outstanding collection of work, dropping jaws in our member panel and earning him the Featured Artist nod for this Chapter.

Finally, Kervin Brisseaux has submitted an emotive series of photographs shot in his ancestral homeland of Haiti just days before the earthquakes hit entitled “Avan Move Tan” [ah-vuh moh-vay tuh], which is Creole for “Before The Bad Times”. The shots illustrate moments in every day Haitian life, with a people already engaged in a life of struggle, unaware of the eventual fate that will be brought to their doorstep, only to intensify their hardships.

On this note, we were thrilled to auction off one of our limited edition promotional books to raise money to assist those in need in the effected area. We managed to raise over $200.00 to donate to the Red Cross Haitian Relief effort. Please consider donating if you haven’t already.

We hope you enjoy browsing this Chapter. The result is the culmination of our collective feeding off each other’s energy to create a body of work that has truly energized and excited us as a group. Please feel free to follow us on Facebook or Twitter to stay abreast of several projects we have in development at the moment – we are on the cusp of a couple of very exciting developments finally coming to fruition!
