[Stelka] Photostream Review

[Stelka]

Seduced I say, hmmm provacative thing to say about someone I have never met, but true nonetheless.

Stelkas’ pictures have struck to the core of me. My poet heart. Every picture in her stream is a visual poem. I could say things about technical prowess etc, but to me her storytelling and visual vignettes are what move me. Stelka draws you into her world with each shot, and reveals just a little more of herself. I find them just too darn intriguing to resist.

So now I have a platonic photographic, intellectual, heart rending crush on her and her art.

Visit her stream and see if you can resist, I bet you can’t.

The Barber Institute of Fine Arts – sign – R.14
visual art
Image by ell brown
This is the The Barber Institute of Fine Arts building on the University of Birmingham main campus.

It is listed currently as being on University Road, and no longer Edgbaston Park Road (I would assume that University Road is the road that goes from Edgbaston Park Road into the University grounds proper).

It is a Grade II listed building built between 1935 and 1939, designed by architect Robert Atkinson.

It is an art gallery and concert hall, and is an Art Deco building. It was opened by Queen Mary.

1935 completed 1939, architect Robert Atkinson. Sophisticated design marrying
elements of traditional institutional classicism with Dudok inspired stone
dressed brick modern. A 2 storey compact block with shallow full height portal
wing to right hand of front. Ashlar faced ground floor and blind lst floor of
brick with flat coped roofline. The horizontal emphasis of the strip
fenestration of the ground floor is suavely combined with the vertical accent of
the slightly battered portal. The latter is complemented in small scale by
ashlar panels carved with symbols of the Arts on the first floor and reflected
by the visual stop of the larger panel at the end of return east elevation.
The banding and strip fenestration of the front follows round on to the side and
rear elevations giving a crisp linear definition to the design.

A sign near the gallery – it is R.14.

Unused CD design concept I had lying around. I’ve highlighted this cover concept in a two part blog post which you can find on my website. I am personally quite satisfied with it so I figured I’d post them up so they don’t go to waste entirely.

Tezuka: Do manga artists obsess over metamorphosis?
visual art
Image by Soon.
Delvac and Breaker J, both regulars from the Comic Shop, taking a breather between sessions of checking out the art work and visuals of Tezuka – The Marvel of Manga at the Art Gallery of NSW.

Man, that Osamu Tezuka really loves his stories about metamorphosis and gender switching like the liquid paper on his art boards.

Apparently, there’s a no camera policy in here. But that didn’t stop some other bloke walking around with his DSLR snapping crazy dozens on each and every piece. Man, that bloke just went feral.
