I posted this video a while back on Twitter. But Twitter is such an fleeting medium. People look at the last 20 tweets or so and then they disappear in the depth of time.
So for those who missed it here is Frances Ford Coppola’s “Koyaanisqatsi” with beautiful music by Philip Glass.
Coppola shows us how the stillness of nature is replaced by the hustle and bustle of humanity.

A few months ago I made a beautiful drawing in which I used a blending technique that seemed almost like painting.
Usually you draw some color on your sheet and rub it either with a tortillon or a piece of toilet paper. This time however I drew the color on a seperate piece of paper and pulled onto my drawing.
In an attempt to get the shapes I see in the clouds above my head I wanted to try this technique. But a few minutes after starting with the clouds I realized that it wouldn’t work.
With Nova I used a bright yellow color as foreground and the white of the paper as background. But here I wanted to use gray both as foreground and background. You just wouldn’t see it.
Argh! Those clouds are turning out to be a whole of a lot more difficult to draw then I thought.

Ian Francis does very expressive paintings of people.
