Tackling the taboo subject of Post Natal-Depression, Shallow Slumber makes for a truly compelling watch. Written by award winning playwright and social worker Chris Lee, the play challenges the perceptions of social workers and post natal-depression sufferers by carving out three-dimensional characters.

Randomly came across Doug’s flickr today and instantly took a liking to his wildlife photography, he’s taken them on different locations all around the world. To take good wildlife photos it helps to know the movements of each animal so you can anticipate when you can take you shot; Doug manages to capture these animals’ movements at just the right time to produce the perfect image…either that or these animals are SO vain! Not only are the shots on point but I like his editing too, making his photos alot more vibrant. See more of his photos after the break, also check out his flickr page.

God I miss my photoshop days where I created art like this. Digital artist Norvz Austria, aka xetobyte first forayed into digital manipulation because he couldn’t find any desktop wallpaper that he liked. Similar to my story but mine was because of forum signatures. The Philippines-based artist has created this series of surreal pieces, clearly inspired by legendary surrealist Salvador Dali. I love the composition of it all, everything blends in so well together. Just look at the clouds and the silhouette above seamlessly fused together as it was an unedited photograph. Almost makes me wish if he’d create a short digital film with the clocks smashing. Hop on after the cut and you’ll see what I mean.

Who likes insects? Fo’ real? Malaysian photographer Lee Peiling makes them almost look like beautiful fairytale-esque paintings using a macro lens. I’m in awe of the bokeh technique and she’s definitely mastered it. I love how she’s managed to keep the insects in perfect focus with the background looking magical. Almost looks like screen grabs from a Disney Pixar movie. Have a gander at the rest after the cut.

Surreal? Yes. Scary? Definitely but it makes you want to see more. It’s actually only a 1/3rd of the original photograph by married couple Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison. The photograph above definitely tripped me up, actually looks like a dead body and it’s so well edited. The couple’s two new photography projects entitled Counterpoint and Gray Dawn take a look at the everyday man and the unfortunate outcome of a mistreated environment. Their surreal works try to gain our attention to the relationship between man and nature, each and every photograph is signified by the colouring of the photographs and the character’s attire. The composition in each photograph is perfect, starts off faded and colour is introduced to represent a more current period. More on the reverse.

Last year, I wrote a post on the incredible Lionel Messi and Gareth Bale animations by Richard Swarbrick. Since then I have kept an eager eye out for Swarbrick’s work and today I came across another of his animation masterpieces on Sudanese-British NBA basketballer Luol Deng. Without repeating all the superlatives I did in my previous post, again I will say that this Deng animation is just breathtaking. Check it out after the jump.

We cover most aspects of art from photography to film but not so much the performing arts- it’s an area we’ve not really touched on so we’re giving it a go! One of my friends Lucy Basaba is about to kick things off with her review of ‘Cirque du Soleil: Totem‘ at the Royal Albert Hall. Catch her review after the break.
