This series by artist and photographer Tadao Cern has been floating around the internet for a few days, but due to some recent computer issues I’m just now getting it posted. It’s a pretty hilarious concept and photo series, and perhaps the most unflattering (and probably most uncomfortable) way to have your portrait taken.  Though, I sort of feel like anytime I take a picture I look as awkward as these people do, and I don’t...

Each work begins with a photograph which is superimposed over layers...

It’s easy to forget how big of an impact Michael Jackson had on music and the world in general, but these works of art serve as a reminder that he reached those all across the globe.  Michael Jackson was a polarizing figure and although he was famous and successful, I can’t say I’d wish his life upon anyone. I was born a little after the Michael Jackson era, but can definitely appreciate his music.  I mean, I don’t...
