The first of what we hope will be many flash illustration books is ready to go! Just click the link and you're all set! At $29.99 it will pay itself off with less than one piece, so surely, with many subjects and styles this is an investment no-brainer. We are limiting this first edition to 1000 copies only, then it will be retired. Let us know if you have any questions, otherwise .... never stop creating!

     THE CHROMATICA BALL TOUR FASHION CREDITS

It feels like forever since she announced it, but Lady Gaga finally launched her highly anticipated “The Chromatica Ball” stadium summer world tour! The setlist was divided into five acts, opening with a trio of fan favorites.

Fashion director Nicola Formichetti made sure that fans got a visual treat, not only musically. Styling by power-duo Sandra Amador and Tom Eerebout with assistance by Hunter Clem. Hair by Frederic Aspiras and glam by Sarah Tanno-Stewart using Haus Laboratories.

Gaga opened the tour singing her biggest hits inside of a transformer meets sarcophagus creation custom designed by Gareth Pugh, who also made her grey structured sculpturesque cocoon armor with tonal "stitching", leather puff-sleeve top and belted leather paper-bag trousers, based on his Fall/Winter 2018 collection.

Underneath, she wore a custom Atsuko Kudo Joy matte silver sleeveless latex bodysuit with mock neck. You’ll see another one later in this post!

Her dancers all wear bespoke HUGO BOSS grey tailored looks.

A bunch of new names worked on the fashion of this tour. Boyd Baten’s Barcelona-based “futuristic style brand” Divamp Couture being one of them! They created these polished and embossed brutalism-inspired Monoblocks.

Mother Monster sang "Alice" while sporting this otherworldly custom Topo Studio NY Muscle Detail sequined red sheer organza and liquid silk lamé ripped and ruched trapunto gown with dramatic shoulders.

Underneath, she revealed this sickening custom Vex Clothing x Yummy Gummy Latex blood-inspired sleeveless latex mock neck bodysuit which is part of their "Vol. 22" collection.

The insane PVC pipe metal & molded leather choker is part of a custom stage look designer Assaad Awad originally created for her "Enigma" Vegas residency!

Her opera-length fingerless black leather gloves are the Fergie by Paula Rowan.

Throughout the show, Gaga danced around in these custom Haus of Gaga over-the-knee black leather combat boots.

Her red quilted puff shoulder jacket, she added during “Monster”, is from Iran-born Germany-based emerging designer AZIZ...

...which she combined with her favorite Komono x Tom Eerebout M Whiskey Coke sunglasses.

For the second segment of the show, LG explored her fetishgear side by rocking this bondage-inspired black PVC spike shoulder top with harness-style buckles, based on the Eclipse top by SINRGY! Also by them: her elbow pad and fingerless neoprene gloves with PVC panels.

The deconstructed, asymmetrical stretch jersey bodysuit and trousers, both featuring PVC panels, are fruit of a collaboration between her sister's label Topo Studio NY and longtime collaborator Muto-Little Costumes.

She crowned the look with a custom Noel Stewart black PVC biker cap – which gives me incredible "The Fame" era vibes!

Next, LG rocked a custom Alexander McQueen molten metallic gold moiré tromp l'œil double lapel cropped tailored blazer, sleeveless shirt and wide-legged trousers!

Another fan favorite look was the stunning Topo Studio NY creation she whipped out for "Free Woman" — clearly a nod to Ballroom culture (Paris is Burning, anyone?).

The extravagant coat is hand-crafted from pleated gold lamé and features avant-garde sleeves, layered pagoda shoulders and a stand-up collar.

Later, she added this bespoke Philip Treacy lobster claw-inspired golden headpiece.

For the dancers, Perry Meek created 16 gold & white looks in only 5 days while Lara Jensen made a dozen of fabulous gold headpieces in the shapes of wings, orbs and orbits. 

While playing her tree piano, Gaga changed into a Atsuko Kudo Joy sleeveless black latex mock neck bodysuit.

She also brought back her custom Xtian de Medici Chromataphore helmet headpiece constructed from therman plastics, vinyl and various pigments he developed for the color. Xtian used a special high tech pigment similar to the pigment that gives butterflies their color!

For her next dates, she whipped out this purple & black latex bodysuit with high collar and jet crystal embellishments that was custom-made for her by Dead Lotus Couture.

Gaga then danced to "Stupid Love" and "Rain on Me" wearing Alexander McQueen Resort 2023 eyelet-embellished cropped leather biker jacket and crystal embroidered long laser-cut harness.

For “Hold my Hand”, she replaced the previous jacket with an archival KTZ Fall/Winter 2011 deconstructed leather biker jacket. She had the shoulder lapels of hers encrusted with jet crystals.

Lastly, she wore her Gary Fay Creations album cover-worn Tree bone-shaped claw hand, with each part of the fingers moving individually.

House of Bamboo

Although at times formally beautiful, HOUSE OF BAMBOO (1955, Criterion Channel) is one of writer-director Samuel Fuller’s more staid pictures. There’s nothing as vertiginous as the tight closeups in films like THE CRIMSON KOMONO (1959) or UNDERWORLD, U.S.A. (1961) or the dizzying moving camera in PARK ROW (1952), PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET (1953) or THE NAKED KISS (1964). Maybe that’s a function of the film’s being a remake (of William Keighley’s 1948 THE STREET WITH NO NAME) or of Fuller’s attempt to fit into the studio system. Robert Stack is a low-level crook who infiltrates Robert Ryan’s criminal band of ex-GIs pulling jobs in post-war Japan. Shooting in CinemaScope for only the second time, Fuller makes good use of his Tokyo locations to fill the screen with detail, but he only really cuts loose in a few scenes. There are two dazzling tracking shots, one as Shirley Yamaguchi (as a friend’s widow posing as Stack’s kept woman) goes shopping and is shunned by more upright women and another as Ryan’s gang robs a factory. Fuller also stages a fascinating moment of cultural clash when the traditional Japanese dance at a party turns into a wild jitterbug, with Japanese women in western attire dancing with kimono-clad Caucasian gangsters. And the final shoot-out in a rooftop amusement park is filled with fascinating details. But the story moves more slowly than usual in a Fuller film. Ryan is fascinating as the multi-layered gang boss, with just a hint of homosocial desire in the way he pits right-hand man Cameron Mitchell against Stack. Mitchell is effective as the gang’s chief hothead, but Stack plays with jaw so firmly clenched his character barely registers as human. Sessue Hayakawa is on hand (albeit dubbed by Richard Loo) as a Japanese police captain, while Biff Elliott and Robert Quarry are gang members. DeForest Kelley’s performance as another was long thought to be a walk-on when the film was only available in a pan-and-scan TV version. When 20th Century-Fox finally issued a restored CinemaScope print, he suddenly emerged as a major player.

What is an album that your really love?

Ooh. This is a bit hard. Honestly, one that I've loved and loved since my early teens is Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin. It has the song Ten Years Gone (a favorite) on it as well as others like Down by the Seaside and Trampled Under Foot. It's just a good one all around.

What is an album that your really love?

Oh I somehow missed answering this because I tried to think of an answer for too long and then forgot! In honor of me getting tickets to see him this summer (after having the old tickets for over two year), I do really love Fine Line by Harry Styles. Favorite songs include Adore You, which I got a line from tattooed this weekend, as well as Golden and Watermelon Sugar!

[ad_1] Chad Hugo has crafted some of the most futuristic hip-hop and pop music of the past 25 years. With Pharrell Williams, his longtime friend and partner in the Neptunes, Hugo’s production handiwork includes the hyper sonar pulses and thunderclap syncopation of The Clipse’s “Grindin’”; the comet trail of synth debris cascading through Britney Spears’s “I’m a Slave 4 U”; the colliding keyboard drones and cosmic dinner bells that nourish Kelis’s “Milkshake”; and the impeccably orchestrated steam hiss, drowsy slide whistle, mouth clicks and blissfully grandiose chords that compose Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot.”But today in his Virginia Beach home studio, Chad just wants to play the blues. “I think everybody needs to know the 12-bar blues,” he declares softly. “It’s easy to sing a song if you know the blues.” And he begins to quietly do just that.12-bar blues/Interviews/12-bar blues/Interviews/12-bar blues…In comparison with the flamboyant Pharrell, Chad is effectively the silent partner in the Neptunes, and he’s less interested in talking about himself than he is in, say, turning our conversation into an impromptu music lesson. “Instruments and music are different voices, so it’s like why talk about it?” he says. “Let’s make music. You play instruments?”Not since I was a kid, I tell him.“You should still play, man – if you want,” he says, and hands me a guitar. “You’re welcome to play this.”I warn Chad that if I play the guitar it’s going to get ugly, but he’s undeterred. “I’d say all you need to know is the F-chord,” he calmly reassures me as he walks me through the fingerings. When I manage to strike the correct root note, my new guitar coach responds with an encouraging, “Good!” Is Chad Hugo… producing me?Shirt, $285, by Nanamica. T-shirt, his own, by Hanes. Pants, his own, by Vince. Hat, $550, by Loewe. Sunglasses, his own, by Komono. Watch (throughout), his own. Ring (throughout), his own.“New Orleans blues got me in touch with a lot of things,” he explains. “Like how those guys play the Dixieland blues where they’re improvising at the same time on the same chord and they stop at the same time. A lot of people would think that it’s dinosaur music and it’s not really cool. But man, the swing of hip-hop is based on that.” He quickly beatboxes a rhythm in demonstration. “It’s just a vibe of the rhythm and how it syncs with your heartbeat, it’s just like b-boom, you know what I’m sayin’?” [ad_2] Source link
