So I received my 7th Daily Deviation yesterday which was a really awesome thing to wake up to, really unexpected as well (although I guess DDs always are)! A big thank you to `alltheoriginalnames for featuring Jump Gate, and a lot of love to everyone who has faved it and watched me since I really appreciate the support everyone on here gives me!




Also for those who don't know anyway Jump Gate was made for The Luminarium's 20th release which is a big milestone for us, and our best release to date. You should all check it out (click on the image below).








The Luminarium is proud to present our 20th exhibit Adventure! It is quite a milestone for us and we are glad to share with you what is our biggest, and quite possibly best, release yet. Adventure explores that inner curiosity that drives so much of humanities achievements. That desire to know what is over the horizon, what is beyond the next turn. The Luminarium has been quite an adventure for many of us over the course of our 20 releases and long may it continue into the future. Adventure holds over 50 pieces of artwork and music, with pieces from old hands like Glenn Clovis, Chris Cold and Alex Fralin, some outstanding work from Kuldar Leement as well as some notable debut's from Erik Schumacher, Anna Hollinrake, Matthias Utomo, Jakob Hansson and Scott Steadman. Come and Join us on our Adventure.





Be sure to check out the group interview as well ([link] and we have also changed hosts so the site should be quicker and have room for the expansion we are going through.

Thanks
Alastair Temple
Luminarium Administrator


For our 20th release, we are going to be doing something a little different in regards to our featured artist. We are going to feature the whole artists group, after all without them and their hard work we are nothing.

In respect to this we are looking for questions from you guys and girls! Ask anything you would like to know about our artists, about life in the group, inspiration sources, favourite pieces and so on. We will get various artists from across the group to answer your questions!

You can send us your question by commenting on our DA journal ([link], posting on our facebook page ([link] or by tweeting to us ([link]
In the summer of 2012 Intrinsic Nature vanished from the internet under unfortunate circumstances, but the group refused to be beaten. Since then a refreshed staff have been hard at work designing and developing the 4th incarnation of the website. Not only was this project to keep the group alive but to give a statement of intent to keep producing the experimental art approach core to the groups values. With that in mind it was key to ensure that the art was at the forefront of the design.  We are proud to be able to introduce to you the new Intrinsic Nature.

The Intrinsic Nature Design Team would like to thank Adam Cairns and Reichull Rusk for their support and help in putting the site together. Additionally the whole staff would like to thank; all the artists for their patience during the development, Glenn Robinson for starting Intrinsic Nature in the first place and Brandon Stout for making this project achievable.

I did the design work for this so I'm pretty proud of how it has turned out. You can check out the behance project here: [link]
After months of determination, we are proud to present Evoke's 29th exhibition, The End. The End brings a dark and inspiring variety of art, music, and photography. We released this exhibition on the day the Mayan calendar ends, a day predicted to signify the termination of the world as we know it. Feelings of death, rage, gloom, and bereavement are scattered throughout the artwork. Our featured artist, Parker Gibson, produced some truly outstanding collaborations and solo works for this release. He stuck with his roots, creating art that displays his rough sketch style through paint splatters and quick strokes. Howard Winterson is another dominant force in the exhibition. He crafts your imagination by his use of bold shapes, vivid colors, and detailed patterns. Long-time member Ricardo collaborated on several pieces, helping to push our newer artists to their maximum potential. Many recent recruits also contributed to the success of this release. Mike Yang's photography, Martin Grohs' matte painting, Raf Banzuela's digital painting, and Mikolaj Lawnicki's photo-manipulations are all fresh Evoke artists pushing the boundaries. On behalf of Evoke, we hope you enjoy our 29th exhibition! Grab some popcorn and browse fast, just in case the world really does end! -Brandon Spahn, EvokeOne Sr. Member

Everyone go check out the whole project on behance: [link] and download a train or two to make. This has been a lot of fun and would be great for it to get some support from the effort everyone (especially Theo) has put in!






In our 19th release The Luminarium explores our more sinister side. We look for our deepest, darkest desires. Those things we wish for in the dead of the night, or that fit of rage. Our ghosts, our demons, the skeletons in our closets. The Luminarium presents The Dark Side of the Mind.




Hell yeah, great start to a Friday morning. Got a DD today for my Lum piece "The Guardians of the Temple".



So a big thank you to :iconinfinite705: (who has suggested both of my last 2 DDs, much much love) and to :iconalltheoriginalnames:

This now means I have received DDs for all the artistic areas I cover, Abstracts, Photography and now Sci-Fi too, which makes me really pleased.

My other DDs are:

Hey all, on my facebook page I'm running a little give away. I have 5 iPhone skins to give away (3 designs), it would be cool to get a number of entries from you all!

Our 18th release is a tribute to that which gives us all huge amounts of inspiration. The natural world. Nature has been an inspiration for those of an artistic bent for time immemorial, from cave men drawing the animals around them on cave walls to the great impressionist Monet's landscape paintings. At The Luminarium we are no different, so Gaia we salute you.

I have 4 pieces of work in this release, 2 photos, an abstract and a colab with Kuldar Lement.
Edit 2:

Seems comments have been disabled on his page and that comments are slowly disappearing. Lets see what happens next.

Edit:

You can see a full list of those confirmed so far here: [link]

Original Post:

... and it's by a "big un". Surprised which piece it was in the end.

Anyway the guy who does the artwork for excision / subhuman, I'm assuming people know who they are, I don't, has been ripping people. You might well have seen that Jonathan Foerster was ripped in a big way by him:

Anyway my piece from a while ago "The Rings": [link] is in one of them too [link]

Screenshots if he removes it and denies it: [link] [link]

I didn't see anything else I explicitly recognised, but I'm sure there are plenty of people's work in there. Anyway you all know the drill.

Good things still come to those who wait.  Actually great things.  In this case, it's a digital onslaught of mind-blowing artworks, photography and music, supplied by none other than Intrinsic Nature's team of rejuvenated artists. IN12 showcases 73 works of art created by 46 international artists, so sit back and relax while you enjoy the awesome visual journey that is Intrinsic Nature's Experiment 12, and dont forget to turn your speakers up or throw in some headphones while viewing!

See it here: [link]

I've got 2 pieces in this release, a photo (which is a featured piece, which I'm really happy about) and a digital collaboration.

Just passing on the message from our fellow artist Amy Neal.

GIVE THEM HELL.

Edit:

It appears they have now taken it down.

Devious Journal Entry

Journal Entry: Sun Feb 26, 2012, 3:41 PM











The Luminarium presents our 17th Exhibit: Illuminate IV. This exhibit is bursting with high quality artwork; from the atmospheric science fiction paintings of featured artist Kuldar Leement and the ever-present Bobby Mears to the stunning landscape photography of Edan Trevethick or the abstract creations of Thor Johannessen this exhibit definitely has something for everyone.











After valiant effort, we proudly present the first exhibition of 2012. Our 27th release, Nostalgia, brings a dynamic collection of art, photography, and music. The term "Nostalgia" was interpreted in a unique manner amongst our international roster. Feelings of sorrow, felicity, and childhood memories were ignited within and translated into ethereal works of art. We even journeyed back into EvokeOne's past by creating our "Nostalgia" type group collaboration that was directed by Brandon Spahn. This was an idea we presented three years ago in our "Revolution" release, and enjoyed revisiting this type project to bring our artists together.

Our featured artist, Brandon Spahn, brings his distinctive photo-manipulation style to a whole other level with this release by stepping a bit out of his comfort zone and experimenting with new elements. Senior Artists Tyler Lehman and Ricardo Juarez joined forces to make a dynamic composition, while many others combined efforts to create the amazing "Papermoon Disaster". Sahir Khan, Maebh Costello, and Nastasia Peters combined traditional techniques with digital to devise stunning illustrations, and Ian Steele, EJ Dalupang, and Carlos Cigaro produced innovative and original 2d vector work. All of which is accompanied by slick audio from JB Gordon and Ben Bruce. Our innovative ideas, unique concepts, and bold efforts are sure to entertain and please you as you take a look into the past through EvokeOne's Nostalgia.

P.S. 3 piece's by yours truly in it, 1 photo, 1 digital piece and 1 collab.
Set up a Society 6 account to use as a print store. Most of my artwork (and all my photo's) will be available through there. Also if you are on there give me a follow, and I'll follow you back.

Cheers
Alastair.

The Luminarium #16: Asylum

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 8, 2011, 6:09 AM










The Luminarium Presents our 16th Exhibit: Asylum. Escape...we long for it. We long to just run away from the insanity of this world-from reality itself. We seek asylum in the darkness, in the safe havens, in the deep, and the beyond. We cover ourselves from persecution, seeking to destroy our being. We awake from our worst dreams, hoping for a better reality. No matter what, when reality hits us hard, we all hide; we all find refuge, be it mental or physical. This is our escape. This is our Asylum.











Received my 5th DD a few days ago on:
