Kaleidoscopic Compositions by Andy Gilmore A master of color and geometric composition, Andy Gilmore’s work is often characterized as kaleidoscopic and hypnotic, though it could just as well be described as visually acoustic, his often complex arrangements referencing the scales and melodies in music. Gilmore’s journey toward this masterful style followed a long and winding road. He characterizes his pursuit of education as a tangled web, noting the bookstores, bakeries, and theaters where he worked were of more importance than the schools he attended in pursuit of his BFA, which he received from SUNY Empire State College. After finishing school, Gilmore relocated to San Clemente, California, where he took up work for FourStar Distribution, resizing print ads for C1RCA Footwear and Forum Snowboards.

Ashley Fiolek: Hear Me Roar Ashley Fiolek overcame incredible odds to become one of the fiercest competitors in motocross. Jason Gay tracks the improbable rise of a champion. Ashley Fiolek rides pretty. In dirt-bike racing, the ability to push the edge between risky and reckless is often the difference between becoming a champion and remaining what’s-her-face, but Fiolek makes crazy look smooth. She blazes out of the start, full throttle, and rips around corners like a surfer gliding atop a wave. When Fiolek hits a jump, she can twist her bike in midair and fly almost parallel to the ground, an exhilarating maneuver called “scrubbing” that shaves seconds off a racer’s time but is also dangerous—especially when the motorbike you ride weighs more than 200 pounds, and you weigh less than half that, as the five-foot-two Fiolek does. “She blows my mind,” says fifteen-time motocross champion Ricky Carmichael. She was getting on the bike. Jim and his wife, Roni, were stunned when they learned Ashley was profoundly deaf.
Lackadaisy Expressions - StumbleUpon Boy, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this. I've had requests for some sort of expressions tutorial dating back a while now, so I figured, "Sure! I can explain expression drawing...and it'll be way better than all those tutorials out there that are nothing but charts of generic expressions. Yeah! Just give me a day or two to whip something up..." Um. Anyway, I found all I could really do was try to explain ways to teach yourself...and then add some pictures.
6 Iconic Scenes Ripped Off From Lesser-Known Movies Some movie scenes are more famous than the movies they come from -- did you know, for example, that there's a whole film of Dustin Hoffman crossing streets with a dude dressed like a cowboy? However, it turns out that the most iconic scenes in some classic films (or even in the entire careers of the guys who directed them) are totally lifted from other movies you probably haven't seen. Like ... #6. Pulp Fiction -- Sam Jackson's "Bible Quote" Is from a Sonny Chiba Film Tarantino movie plots are usually like his soundtracks: an eclectic selection of scenes from older movies (usually from the '70s) and put in a different order. Getty"'Shit' rhymes with 'tits.' "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Who Did It First: As Tarantino himself admits in the very same interview where he says his dialogue is like poetry, the whole monologue is lifted almost word-for-word from the intro for a 1976 Sonny Chiba movie, The Bodyguard. #5.

You might not realize it, but you’re one of the biggest enigmas in the NBA. Because of your injuries, most fans haven’t seen you play. And since you never do interviews, they don’t know anything about you off the court either.” Greg: “I know. It’s hard to believe you could say this about a former no. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft who also had naked pictures of himself leaked onto the Internet, but Greg Oden is as private a person as I’ve ever known. Our friendship dates back to the summer of 2001, when I joined Greg’s AAU team shortly before we both entered eighth grade. Since he was the only other introvert on the team, Greg and I immediately hit it off. And now, with his career in limbo after all that’s happened to him, he’s the same guy today. “You’re a fun-loving guy with a ton of personality,” I said.
