I Exist - Non-Profit Purchase [VHS]
$99.00

Exist
$19.95
Set in the trenches of America's resurgent protest movement, "Exist" captures the essence of personal relationships in the midst of turmoil, and explores how far people will go to be heard. Top couldn't have cared less about the causes that had Jake and their fellow squatters marching in the streets. He thought protest was for the privileged, not for those fighting to survive. Jake knew that joining the protest movement would mean struggle. But when he left Harvard for political activism, he never anticipated charges of murder and a life on the run. When the lights went out and the cops charged in, Top's instinct was to run. Jake's was to fight. After that night, their lives would never be the same. Official Selection: San Francisco Independent Film Festival, Rotterdam International Film Festival, Victoria Independent Film & Video Festival, New York Underground Film Festival. Starring Nic Mevoli, Ben Bartlett, Tunde Adebimpe (TV On The Radio).

All I can say is this is the most grown and sexiest album I have ever heard. I put this cd in my car 4 months ago, and it's still in heavy rotation. If you don't have this cd, you are totally cheating yourself. Please take the time out to preview and purchase.. Tony Rich totally shocked me with this one!!!

Imaginative Realism: How to Paint What Doesn't Exist
$24.99
As someone with both a son and a partner who are both fine artists, and as someone who does a bit of 'hobby' paointing, I was really very curious and excited to take a look at James Gurney's Imaginative Realism. I was not at all disappointed. Unlike other books that show how to sketch what you see, carve out shadow and light with the techniques of the author, Gurney gives a really great rundown on how to see what is in front of you in order to paint it more realistically. I have particularly been partial to his work with National Geographic and his renditions of Ancient Egyptian culturre and reconstruction of earlier temples, tombs,etc. Not just painting from imagination, James Gurney does the homework about how people, places and things should look as well as the drape of fabric, gesture, expression and he does it in a way that helps artists keep those things in their heads and put it on the canvas.

I was very impressed with his understanding of texture, technique to make a piece look more period, and the use of architectural marquettes and the effective lighting of these in order to really add the idea that you could step into the painting. Whether you are painting what you envision might have happened in history, or thinking up an alternative one to put on canvas, this book really was a pleasure. I spent hours just going through the picture and graphic rich pages. This one is definitely one for the shelf of any fine, graphic, or computer artist.
