An old favorite...
Today in Turner Studios, I was not so subtly reminded of former Atlanta artist Charlie Owens by the 200 ft mural lining one of its hallways. A quick visit to Charlie's website shows he's now living in Chicago and back at it with another huge mural piece, this time for Burger King.

Scion Rock Fest Poster
If you are any kind of metal fan, then you are sure to be familiar with at least some of the 30+ bands that will be playing February 28th at The Masquerade's Scion Rock Fest. For a fringe metal fan like myself, crossover bands like Mastodon and Harvey Milk are enough to get me interested. If you are interested in free tickets check out scion.com/rock for details. But if you are more interested in who put together this amazing poster, his name is Josh Graham and you can find more of his art at his site, suspendedinlight.com

Why I love Mastodon
A description of their upcoming album titled "Crack the Skye":
"There is a paraplegic and the only way that he can go anywhere is if he astral travels. He goes out of his body, into outer space and a bit like Icarus, he goes too close to the sun, burning off the golden umbilical cord that is attached to his solar plexus. So he is in outer space and he is lost, he gets sucked into a wormhole, he ends up in the spirit realm and he talks to spirits telling them that he is not really dead. So they send him to the Russian cult, they use him in a divination and they find out his problem. They decide they are going to help him. They put his soul inside Rasputin’s body. Rasputin goes to usurp the czar and he is murdered. The two souls fly out of Rasputin’s body through the crack in the sky(e) and Rasputin is the wise man that is trying to lead the child home to his body because his parents have discovered him by now and think that he is dead. Rasputin needs to get him back into his body before it’s too late. But they end up running into the Devil along the way and the Devil tries to steal their souls and bring them down…there are some obstacles along the way."
Mastodon Rocks.
