A musical about Burning Man should not exist

I love musicals. But a musical about Burning Man? I don't think so. My problem with Burning Man: The Musical is that the songs are badly-written. Admittedly, I watched the first video because I was curious and I expected it to be awful. It tells the story of Joe, a young techie who hopes to become a multimillionaire. I don't know much about him, but he hangs out with Silicon Valley elites, eats psychedelic shrooms, prays to Steve Jobs and dresses like one of the characters from Mad Max.

The first video is up on YouTube, but producer Matthew Werner and his crew are still trying to raise $20,000 to produce two more songs from the musical and eventually a full-length spectacle. Here's the best part: For a $5,000 Indiegogo donation you can get your own speaking or singing role in one of the clips. Good Lord!

Finding moments of genuine peace can feel like a rare treasure these days. But what if I told you that a dose of serenity could be as simple as gazing upon a canvas? Hiroya Kurata 's work makes you want to slow down and find tranquility in daily life.

Hiroya's canvases are basically a visual diary, capturing little snippets of moments he spends with his family in ordinary places.

His work has been exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibitions across the globe, from New York to Hong Kong, Tokyo, and London. Waiting , his debut solo show at Carl Kostyál , is on view until August 2, 2025.

Finding Art That Speaks To You

The internet is a vast ocean, and every now and then, you stumble upon something that makes you stop in your tracks. Recently, I was scrolling through my Instagram when I discovered Laurent Proux 's art. I surfed for what felt like hours, and thanked the IG algorithm for its foresight. It's rare to find an artist who can evoke such a strong feeling with their creations, and I instantly became a fan. The French artist's paintings often feature opposing elements—light and shadow, nature and industry, pleasure and violence, the real and the surreal. His figures are often fragmented, distorted, or contorted, blurring the lines between the human form and the landscapes they inhabit. Think of a vivid dream where everything is a little off-kilter, quite nightmarish, but in the most charming way possible. Proux's work is a reminder that art isn't just something to be observed in a museum or gallery. It's a powerful form of communication, a way for artists to share their...

So, have you given Chloe Qisha a listen yet?

What I love about the Malaysian-born singer-songwriter is her knack for crafting those sad/happy songs – music that makes you want to cry and hit the dance floor at the same time. Chloe writes about love, anxiety, and self-acceptance with such wit and honesty. Her beauty is also undeniable – a perfect blend of modern allure and timeless Asian elegance. Her looks shine through with such grace and an effortlessly cool confidence. Here is my favorite.
