The first month of 2019 has finally come to an end!… Did it fly by or did it seem like eternity? For me, it was an interesting start. I started my first week with a heart break, then went through the week digesting the situation, and ended up laughing about it by Friday. After assessing [...]

A Note about Multiples
In my last post, I wrote about Kim Keever's photographs, and I just wanted to quickly compare his work to two other artists whose work is similar: Alberto Seveso, photographer and graphic artist: From the Black Trap in Munich series: Besides Kim Keever's photographs, Seveso's photographs are the most prolific on the internet. However, if you would [...]
