D – DIGITAL ART Anthony Neil Dart

Anthony Neil Dart

I love the mixing of all types of medias. I’m always inspired by artists and designers who use digital elements bringing out colors, contrast in their work. Styles from illustrations mixed with photography to 3d animated design with the graphic design elements and well done typography.

 

looking more in too Anthony Neil Dart Work the way he sets out this work would really relate to my chosen theme. using different media

Rebel Youth - Karlheinz Weinberger

Rebel Youth - Karlheinz Weinberger


New York-based publishers Rizzoli are releasing a new book in February entitled "Rebel Youth: Karlheinz Weinberger", featuring the influential Swiss photographer's portraits of "rebel youth" in the sixties. While Karlheinz Weinberger is also known as the pioneer or male erotic imagery, he also left an indelible mark on the fashion world with these shots of working-class teenagers and their biker jackets, denim jeans, bouffant hairdos and James Dean insouciance. A legion of contemporary fashion-industry leaders have been profoundly influenced by the playful, fiercely individual photographs in this stunning volume and continue to reference his work to this day.

Hells Angels Motorcycle Club - Andrew Shaylor


      Hells Angels Motorcycle Club - Andrew Shaylor 

In August 2000, photographer Andrew Shaylor departed on a four-year journey documenting the UK chapters of the Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club. He  also set out to assemble a truthful depiction of this much misunderstood group of the hell's angels. Kinda same idea as Hunter S. Thompson did in 60's but with a camera not with a pen.  The result is a remarkable collection of photographs what will be very help full. I will look in very high details so i can find shape, form and colour    











reading list

so the internet cant give me every thing, so ive stretched the internet to the maximum so now it time to get spending and looking more in depth.
so up to now ive found some amazing book

Motorcycles, Outlaws, Rebels, and Brothers


The Oakland chapter of the Hell’s Angels tear down the highway behind their fearless leader.
 “If I ever get too old to ride my Motorcycle, and have pretty girls, I’d rather just rob a Bank and go back to prison.”
-Ralph “Sonny” Barger
The long and colorful history (60+ years) of the Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club has been widely documented by the media. Magazines, movies, books and songs have all made attempts at capturing the essence of bike club culture – the look, the feel, and the sound of this other world. Not always successfully either. Because this sordid tale swoops over, around, and through the lives of hundreds of outlaws, felons, rebels, vets, outcasts, and inbetweeners.
We are tranfixed by those who dare to live on the fringe of society, and often make vain attempts to personify and relate to these intriguing individuals.
They have chosen to live their lives the only way they know how…hard and fast; with a screaming engine between their knees and rubber spread down the highway.
For, to them, freedom is nothing but an open road.

Road grime and hardened gazes. This biker personifies the tough as nails “one percenter” stereotype associated with motorcycle clubs. Bill Ray. LIFE Magazine.
Check out those dual exhaust pipes. Probably more effective in looks and sound rather than speed and performance. A real cop magnet, for sure. Bill Ray. LIFE Magazine.
Elevated handlebars and a wide grip. This style came into fashion with Hell’s Angels in the late 1950s, and eventually spread into mainstream motorcycle culture. Not purely for looks, but for comfort on long rides. Bill Ray. LIFE Magazine.
Wives, girlfriends, steadies, and one-nighters. In the club’s early days it was ok for your “old lady” to flaunt the death’s head. Today, relinquishing the patch without a fight are grounds for expulsion. Bill Ray. 1965. LIFE Magazine.
An Angel’s old lady gives us the finger as they cruise down the boulevard. Bill Ray. LIFE Magazine.

Horst Friedrichs book Or Glory: 21st Century Rockers Published by Prestel Publishing : With their tattoos, leather jackets, slicked-back hair and their beloved British motorbikes BSAs, Triumphs, Nortons, and Royal Enfields Rockers are the antithesis and the nemesis of the fastidiously groomed Mods. Elvis, James Dean and Marlon Brando made rocker style synonymous with rebellion sparking a global cult. Friedrichs follows the British rocker tribe as its members congregate in parking lots, pubs, cafes, dance and pool halls, as well as huge gatherings at Jacks Hill and the Ace Café. Alternating between rich, vibrant colour and gritty black and white, these photographs capture a spirit of unapologetic defiance in clothing as well as attitude every bit as strong today as it was sixty years ago. Trenchant and revealing commentary from Friedrichs subjects sheds light on the impulses, yearnings, and motivations of this enduring international rebel chic subculture.Or Glory 21st Century Rockers
