Caleb Buckley | DEFIANCE.

So sad to hear that this young, amazingly talented artist is no longer walking this Earth with us. His beautiful work is inspiring and breathtaking. He took his own life in January of this year. ((sigh)) Depression…all too common, especially for we artists. I’m praying for his friends and family. May he rest in peace.

Check out his memorial page on Facebook: Caleb Buckley 27/11/1991 - 12/01/2014.

This is as close as you’re gonna get to a dead ancestor appearing in the sky and telling you to get your shit together

Power, presence, pleasure, pain, and play are vital to the artist's life. And even if you are not an artist, acknowledge them anyway. Each will have their importance, sometimes all at once.

So apparently, no one killed Freddie Gray. Baltimore state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby expressed her anger and frustration at a press conference this afternoon, saying that her office still believes that Gray did not kill himself.

But as the nation continues to grapple with seemingly frequent deaths and abuse of African-Americans at the hands of the police, Mosby reiterated a reality that black communities know all too well. Even when the facts are on the victim’s side, justice seems elusive.

Because 1/3 of the world can’t see the Milky Way due to light pollution, time-lapse artists crowdfunded an astrophotography project called SKYGLOW and created this video of Dry Tortugas National Park, one of the darkest places in the US, so you can experience the night sky for yourself.
