There are drummers, and then there are street drummers – the guys who truly aren’t afraid to get down and dirty with their craft. The musicians in Street Drum Corps are both, having played played traditional drums in rock bands for years before lending their sticks to something decidedly more free-form and experimental.

Mission Statement: “My art is a fusion of Japanese anime, Hindu and Buddhist religious imagery, and traditional tattoo design. My favorite subjects to paint are mermaids, pin-ups, geishas, and monsters – preferably a mix of at least two of them at once. I like the dichotomy of having a monster look cute and sweet. My paintings and drawings are not based in reality; I try to create a world where even monsters are cute and the world is a happy place. Seeing the people not as they are but as cartoon characters. I also love doing pop culture art, using the paintings of old masters and redoing them with one of my big-eyed girls. I’ve done several variations of the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and Venus Rising from the Waves. Part of the pop culture love is video game art, tributes to the old 8-bit era, an interest that I’ve had since childhood and was rekindled by a group show I was in at gallery in L.A. in 1988.”

“I’m good at starting things.”
– Terry Gilliam
Terry Gilliam movies are hard to explain anyway. Try to encapsulate 12 Monkeys in a logline about time travel, or pose The Fisher King as as simple drama about grief. The lengths Gilliam had to go through to finish what tragically became Heath Ledger’s final film take things to the next level.

Let us answer life’s questions – because great advice is even better when it comes from SuicideGirls.
Q. I have a girlfriend named Stephanie and I love her with all my heart. We were together for about three months and everything was perfect. Then she had to move to Miami for family issues and is supposed to come back to Vermont this November. We still talk and she says she loves me a lot still, but her status updates on MySpace and stuff give me a different idea. What should I do? I don’t want to lose her.
