Here’s What’s Happening Outside The Frames Of Famous Music Album Covers

My name is Igor and I live in cold Russia. In between dismantling of an AK-47 assault rifle and training of the home bear, I like to listen to music and when I peer into the cover of the album I find a place for myself there.Half a year ago I published a post how I finish drawing myself near cult covers of musical albums.

MASAYUKI DAIJIMA | Programmer

I was born in Japan and I’m a programmer living in sunny London now. I always think that I want to create things that make people excited with expression and technology. I want to keep being enthusiastic about craftsmanship and improve myself every day. In digital works that are rapidly developing changing, it is my ultimate goal to create something that at least the next generation of people can be touched by. 日本生まれのプログラマー。現在はロンドン在住。表現と技術で人をワクワクさせられるモノづくりをしたいと常日頃から考えています。クラフトマンシップにこだわり、自分を研鑽していける日々を過ごせたら本望だと個人的には思っており、消費の速いデジタル作品においても長く残るモノ、せめて次の世代の人たちに触れてもらえるモノを作ることが最終目標だったりします。

Millennials Are Screwed

TWITTER FACEBOOK SUBSCRIBE Why millennials are facing the scariest financial future of any generation since the Great Depression.BY MICHAEL HOBBESLike everyone in my generation, I am finding it increasingly difficult not to be scared about the future and angry about the past.I am 35 years old—the oldest millennial, the first millennial—and for a decade now, I’ve been waiting for adulthood to kick in. My rent consumes nearly half my income, I haven’t had a steady job since Pluto was a planet and my savings are dwindling faster than the ice caps the baby boomers melted.WHAT’S A MILLENNIAL ANYWAY?Unless otherwise noted, we mean anyone born between 1982 and 2004We’ve all heard the statistics. More millennials live with their parents than with roommates. We are delaying partner-marrying and house-buying and kid-having for longer than any previous generation. And, according to The Olds, our problems are all our fault: We got the wrong degree. We spend money we don’t have on things we don’t need. We still haven’t learned to code. We killed cereal and department stores and golf and napkins and lunch. Mention “millennial” to anyone over 40 and the word “entitlement” will come back at you within seconds, our own intergenerational game of Marco Polo.This is what it feels like to be young now. Not only are we screwed, but we have to listen to lectures about our laziness and our participation trophies from the people who screwed us.But generalizations about millennials, like those about any other arbitrarily defined group of 75 million people, fall apart under the slightest scrutiny. Contrary to the cliché, the vast majority of millennials did not go to college, do not work as baristas and cannot lean on their parents for help. Every stereotype of our generation applies only to the tiniest, richest, whitest sliver of young people. And the circumstances we live in are more dire than most people realize.Source: The College Board, Trends in Student Aid 2013.
