In memory of Keith Haring, who today would have turned 54 years of age, Google have dedicated their search logo just for him. The artwork uses some of Haring’s signature work to form the word ‘Google’ in their search engine’s blue, red, yellow and green coloring.

The program involved rolling aspiring astronauts down a hill in a barrel and clipping their rope-swings at the height of their arc to simulate weightlessness. He claimed his country would not only [...]]]> http://svrta.org/photography/afronauts/feed/ 0 http://svrta.org/photography/sasha-kurmaz-kiev/ http://svrta.org/photography/sasha-kurmaz-kiev/#comments Mon, 30 Apr 2012 10:00:32 +0000 Carl Platon http://svrta.org/?p=5347

This while chasing beautiful women around town. Oh, and did I mention? Sasha was born in Chernobyl -86. He ensures me he isn’t suffering from it today.
