Dreamy Photos Of Boston And Massachusetts Suburbs By Greg DuBois
“By way of the Southwest I eventually found my home in the city of Boston, where I’ve been living for the past 8 years. I’ve been an artist my entire life, and have worked in many mediums. I’m a classically trained fine art painter with a BFA in Visual Communications (emphasis in Illustration) and I’ve spent over a decade creating paintings using unconventional methods and working in the field of digital art and graphic design. Before that, I worked extensively with digital video and a 35mm film camera. Years ago I was reunited with photography and the passion quickly grew to an undeniable force. I find it the perfect outlet, and I see it as the culmination of my artistic career. Thanks for taking the time to check out my work, I hope you enjoy it.” Continue reading »

2018 National Geographic Travel Photographer Of The Year Winners
Grand Prize Winner: Mermaid. “This calf was always with mom. A curious calf sometimes came to us. I was fortunate to have encountered a humpback whale with her calf on my first day snorkeling near Japan’s Kumejima Island. Most of the time, the calf stayed close to her mom. At one point, the calf began jumping and tapping its tail on the water near us – it was very friendly and curious. Finally, the mother, who was watching nearby, came to pick up the calf and swim away. I fell in love completely with the calf and it’s very energetic, large, and beautiful tail”.

Fascinating Letterring Graffiti Art By Ernest
There are many reasons to paint or to keep painting. But often the best ones are the ones you feel when you slow down or stop for a while. French artists ERNEST can probably relate to this more than most. For years as a young man his graff life was as much of his life as life itself. Skipping classes to empty Montana BLACK or Montana GOLD cans is the norm when graffiti feeds you, just as the food you eat. But at some point life kicks in and the food you eat can change. Graphic Design can be that change in diet, so designing logo’s on a screen everyday can syphon the time and desire to create your own logo’s on urban surfaces. Continue reading »
