Transmutations: The Art of Daniel Martin Diaz

“I was never interested in art. I never got into it,” says Daniel Martin Diaz on a recent phone call with Hi-Fructose. “I never looked at art books. I really, honestly, didn't even know basic things like surrealism like Dali or Escher existed until I was probably, I think, 18 or 19.” That was around the time when Diaz, the Tucson-based artist known for his precisely detailed illustrations merging seemingly disparate subjects like science and mysticism, stumbled into the art section of a library and came across 1920s surrealism. “I just knew when I saw that it just resonated with me so strongly that I just became obsessed by it.” Read the full article by Liz Ohanesian by clicking above.

The Evolution of the Hand-Painted Movie Posters of Ghana

In Ghana, while the cinematic menu was delightfully omnivorous, there were not nearly enough screens to satisfy the locals. This was particularly true in rural areas where only the occasional informational film had been brought by the colonial government on a green-and-yellow Bedford bus. The arrival of video changed everything. Read Silke Tudor's article on the evolution of the hand-painted movie posters in Ghana by clicking above.
