Gabrielle Wortman is a singer and songwriter born in NYC and currently living in Los Angeles. Her alternative rock reminds me a bit of Florence and the Machine. Influenced by “Otis Redding’s voice, Dr. John’s piano, Joni Mitchell’s lyrics, life’s shitty moments, life’s passionate moments, and everything in between”, like she says on her Facebook page. With two words: Great music!

FACE OF THE CITY | DAN BERGERON | STREET ART

February 22, 2012 in art & design by stephan

Dan Bergeron, aka fauxreel, is an artist based in Toronto who has been creating for the better part of a decade photo based street interventions. Within his project “face of the city” he used the distressed surfaces of walls in modern cities to create stunning portraits.

The artist says, “as the walls and surfaces of the city define its physical character and spatial identity, the faces of its inhabitants provide the city with its personality, disposition and magnetism. The fusion of these two entities will simultaneously expose the frailty of urban architecture and to a certain extent human existence, while conversely exploring the idea that beauty truly lies in the scars, wrinkles and blemishes of places we live and people we meet.”
