I already forgot how I met Koes a.k.a. Heartkore, I guess it was through his Tumblelog, but I’m sure glad I did. He’s not only truly open minded in a very refreshing way but also looking adorable (see photo above), making stunning artworks (see photos below) and in a band I will sign immediately if we ever decide to have a milkboys indi record label ;o) I’ve attached one of the songs from his band Fallen Angels  but feel free to check out more of their music and Koes’ *cough* nude *cough* pictures at the milkboard.

A stylistic virtuoso, he uses smooth, groomed brushstrokes to render flora and fauna in electrified photorealistic detail while deploying broad, expressionistic flourishes of color and texture for background.

        

Martin’s paintings are titled after popular songs by artists such as 2Pac, Madonna, the Smiths and Led Zeppelin, and ostensibly serve as interpretations of each songs’ lyrics. At the same time, the paintings are imbued with an ineffable symbolic code, falling somewhere between the pagan and the biblical, the art-historical and the collective subconscious. Executed with a boundary pushing palette, the effect is placid yet jarring, threatening yet whimsical.

          

The canvases recall, in their way, the self-confidence of the late Italian Baroque: bold, lavish, dramatic, unabashedly humanistic and utterly devoid of cynicism. They remind us (thankfully) that the medium of painting will always and inevitably re-emerge from its periodic dormancies to offer ever-new creative frontiers for succeeding generations of artists to explore, interpret and express.

The World Ends with You, released in Japan as It’s a Wonderful World (すばらしきこのせかい), is an action role-playing game developed by  the team behind Kingdom Hearts for the Nintendo DS handheld. Set in the modern-day Shibuya shopping district of Tokyo, Japan, The World Ends with You features a distinctive art style inspired by the aesthetics of Shibuya and its youth culture.

The story begins with the main playable character, Neku Sakuraba, finding himself an unwilling participant in a mysterious game. Neku, with an eclectic group of allies, must complete assigned missions within a seven-day time limit, or be erased from existence. The battle system uses several features of the Nintendo DS, including combat that takes place on both screens, and attacks performed by certain motions on the touchscreen, or by shouting into the microphone. Elements of the Japanese youth culture, including fashion, food and cell phones, also form key aspects of gameplay.

Even more interesting than the game is the fanart ;) In this case made by CrystalDragon.
