The Superb Drawings of Ferdy Remijin
Ferdy Remijn (‘86) is an illustrator/artist based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. His work showcases exotic animals which are living in a parallel world, they find themselves in curious situations and sometimes interfere with human habits. His fascination towards taxidermy is clearly reflected in his work, however the animals are anything but dead. They’re quite vivid and fully aware of their surroundings.

Paintings by Paul Saari
Paul Saari is a Canadian Artist, from Ontario.
It is often the case that we forget we are as much a part of nature as the earth under our feet; on which we by no means tread lightly. In this latest series of work, I have been interested in our relationship with the natural world. The human footprint – our ingenuity, our psyche, and our actions – is represented here by houses reduced to an archetypical form and re-contextualized as patterns in nature.

The Art of Sol.W.Whiteside
Sol.W.Whiteside is a self-taught artist from Uk Wales. From an early age, his passion for nature and wildlife became evident and ever since has been the bases of his work. His style resides around the idea of exaggerated realism and often has a consistent feeling of tranquility and calmness. The smooth looking drawings are created with an unusual use of marker pens, chalk, and acrylic, which are regularly mistaken for watercolor. His paintings, although not as frequent also show a clear understanding to the attention to detail, these are created using acrylic paint.

Germany went from exporting fascism, to being one of the most inclusive understanding countries in Europe. We have much to learn.

The Benefits Of Plants Go Well Beyond Photosynthesis
Plants are nice. They replenish the planet’s oxygen, which is useful. But a growing body of research suggests having plants nearby could be good for public health, home prices and even your self-esteem at work. For starters, plants scrub the air clean. According to one study, air filtration from forests prevented nearly $7 billion in U.S. health care costs in 2010. A study of more than 100,000 women in the U.S. found those who lived in the greenest surroundings had mortality rates as much as 12 percent lower than those in less-green areas. Another found green spaces were associated with decreased likelihood of preterm births. They can make neighborhoods more desirable. In one study in Philadelphia, planting trees correlated with a 2 percent increase in sale prices of nearby homes. Greening up vacant lots was associated with a reduction in gun violence. Just 10 more trees per block in Toronto correlated with a significant improvement in quality of life over less-green areas. As one of the researchers on that study told The New Yorker: “To get an equivalent increase with money, you’d have to give each household in that neighborhood ten thousand dollars—or make people seven years younger.” It sounds almost too good to be true, and most of the studies can’t pin down if plants alone make the difference. But you can try to get some of the benefits without giving your whole neighborhood a makeover. Research suggests even a lowly potted plant on your desk can help lower blood pressure and boost productivity and job satisfaction compared to a greenery-free environment.

In class our teacher held up a black book and was like “this book is red” and we were all like “no” and he said “yes it is” and we were just all like “that’s not right” and he turned it around and the back cover was red and he said “don’t tell somebody they’re wrong until you’ve seen things from their point of view”
that spoke to me
Perspective is everything.
