A Theater In The Woods

The theater pictured above is in the midst of a redwood forest on UC Santa Cruz’s campus. The stage crew had just taken a break from building a massive installation, which on an even surface would be easy to do, but seemed impossible to execute on the soft floor. However, due to the ingenuity of…

Bill Dambrova’s Worlds of Internal Wonder

Bill Damborva‘s paintings feature wondrous battles that splash out from their canvasses in beautiful bold colors. However, it’s up to the viewer in regards to what exactly they’re witnessing.

Motorcycle Mania at Agenda Long Beach

The aesthetics of cars and motorcycles are always tipping on the verge of fine art and are recently being more appreciated than ever before.
