From Moscow-based photographer Alexander Khokhlov’s 2D or not 2D and Angry Beards projects in which – with the help of makeup artist Valeriya Kutsan and retouching expert Veronica Ershova – heexplores the transformative power of paint and makeup.

Inspired by two-dimensional posters, comics, pop art, paintings, pixelated images, and cartoon characters Khokhlov explains:

Valeriya used different techniques of face painting so you can see a lot of variations – from sketch and graphic arts to water-colour and oil-paintings. This is a combination of interesting make-ups, studio photography experiments and careful retouching.

One for the GAA/Illuminati file? While watching Heavy – The Story of Metal (@28.59) I noticed Jani Lane – singer in early 1990s hard rock band Warrant – wearing a Dubs jersey. Sadly he died in 2011 before the team’s resurgence.

The Irish public is becoming increasingly more aware of the importance of mental health, but why should it be controversial that alcohol plays a large part?

In the days leading up to the demolition of a huge warehouse in Brisbane, street artists Sofles, Fintan Magee, Treas and Quench took the opportunity to cover the walls with paint.

Filmmaker Selina Miles captured the whole thing in timelapse.

Prohibition officially ended on Dec. 5, 1933. Eighty years later, Miller Coors’ Batch 19 beer is turning the milestone into a marketing event.

Batch 19 wants to “own the holiday,” said Libby Mura, senor marketing director at Tenth and Blake, the craft and imports division for MillerCoors.
