WOW!!!  This is a remarkable, unbelievable performance!

I don’t think Tchaikovsky had this choreography in mind when he wrote ” Swan Lake “. How could anyone imagine the performance you are about to see. With a population of 1.3 billion, the Chinese had to locate two great dancer/athletes…… and they did!!!

See it and believe it …It is almost unbelievable!!!

Bill Gekas Father Daughter Photography Project Pays Tribute To Classic Paintings With An Adorable 5-Year-Old Model (PHOTOS)

FROM

Looking for an interesting way to educate your children on the value of art history? Perhaps this photography project, imagined by Australian artist Bill Gekas and his adorable 5-year-old daughter, can help.

Drawing inspiration from classical paintings from Rembrandt, Raphael and Velazquez, Gekas and his daughter worked together to pay tribute to well-known portraits. With the snap of a shutter, the pint-sized model, who dons all the traditional garb in her father’s photographs, transforms into familiar figures like Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring” (above). In a previous interview with JPG Magazine, Gekas says, “I like blurring the line between fine art and portraiture, creating something deeper.”

Nine-Year-Old Guitar Shredder Wows Hard Rock Legends (VIDEO)

Click link below picture

.

Have you heard the one about the nine-year-old guitarist from Atlanta Georgia who moseyed in to Las Vegas and blew George Lynch away? It happened last weekend at the Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp.

Noisecreep has been on hand at the camp enough times to know that once in a while it teenage prodigy will turn up and play way beyond his years. But Benjamin Bluestein caused a lot of jaws to drop, including that of famed shredder George Lynch (ex-Dokken, T&N), who had a chance to play guitar with the youngster.

As excited as everyone was about visiting rock royalty Alice Cooper, Ace Frehley, Jordan Rudess and Mike Portnoy, there was also a pretty big buzz about this kid who’s only been playing guitar for two years.

I have never seen anything like this before.  Super talented.

His portrayals of older, “ordinary” people are magnificent.

 These are truly works of art. I have never seen anything so realistic and especially considering what is used to make them.
