Being that I'm a huge fan of anything artistic in nature, I had to share these awesome images from artist, Erika Iris Simmons. She used old cassette tapes and created art by using the tape running inside these little boxes of music. From Kurt Cobain, Michael Jackson, and Bob Marley to Blondie, The Beatles, and John Lennon - they are all pretty darn cool. She even created art using old film reels and video cassette tapes - you can check those out on her Flickr page.
Source: Erika is a self-taught artist currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia. In her incredible series titled Ghost in the Machine, Erika uses film from recycled cassette tapes and old film reels to create fantastic portraits of iconic artists and musicians. Below is a small sample of this wonderful series. You can find the complete gallery on iri5′s Flickr page.
Lady Gaga has taken the top spot from Oprah Winfrey on Forbes annual Celebrity Top 100 list, which focuses on the world's most powerful celebrities. But don't be upset Gaga haters, you still have Justin Bieber at number 3 and Bon Jovi at number 8. Yeah, I'm confused on that one too, but he's actually, made more than Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Kanye West combined. How's that for "Living on A Prayer"?
In either case, the Lady managed to come out on top, because of her influence on current events, young people, earning $90 million last year, having 32 million fans on Facebook and 10 million followers on Twitter. C'mon people - she sold one million digital downloads of her single, "Born This Way" in 5 days!
