The Wall Breakers

Come find out what happens when Count Blacula interviews Octopimp! It's a very interesting interview in which the two men discuss consumption, creation, fantasy, and reality. It's what we as artists all go through. We need to question what we're doing and if we're creating because at some point the "fantasy" of our youth gives way for a need to create and live a fulfilling life. It's amazing how many creatively frustrated twentysomethings I've met since The Wall Breakers launched. Fear not people! There is hope and help on the way. We're all here for each other. Don't be afraid to reach out to another creative for inspiration or networking. That goes for creatives (and people) of all ages as well. It's what we're all here for! Enjoy Dominick's interview below.

Check out this series of pop art paintings by London-based artist and photogapher David Lidbetter. We really love the way David layered the acrylic paint on his canvases to create depth. Take a look!

Diddipix is a recently launched website which allows children to both learn how to shoot photography, and showcase their work in an online community. As the press release tells us, "Diddipix is the brain child of Kirsten Harvey. She has combined her love of photography, teaching and writing for children to create this innovative and inspiring site. It encompasses all things fun and creative for the budding young photographer. Diddipix is aimed at 6-16 year olds and is run by the fictional cartoon character, Professor Pixel."

It's so important for kids to both learn and also explore the world around them. Art is a way for children to cultivate their ability to see the world and project their inner feelings about it. As Kirsten likes to say, children are naturally inquisitive and creative. It's very good that we're giving children the tools at a young age which will allow them to grow into expressive, emotional adults. Also, not only is Diddipix fun and exciting, it is also educational. It ticks boxes for ICT and Art within the National curriculum and is excellent preparation for any child who may wish to study photography for GCSE. I've always felt that the more explorational i was with my art, the more well-rounded of a human I became. Thank you Kirsten for seeing how important this is and taking an active approach in bettering the lives of countless children. Take a look at some of the photography that is currently being showcased on the Diddipix website below!
