Review : Away we go
Review : Away we go
Evan Hobart creates edgy political sculptures. His works depict over-industrialized factories and cities attached in a leach-like manner to ancient bones. The use of skulls from prehistoric times show a direct connection to fossil fuels. They function also as a symbol of death.
The biological forms resemble the mechanical similar to a H.R. Giger. “Away we go” strongly exposes this symbiotic relation. The craftsmanship is unique, sleekly combining ceramic and other mixed sculpture medias into one succinct form. The teeth on “Frackasaurus” stand out with a transparent glassiness in contrast to the adjacent matte bones and construction.
Hobart’s work is darkly fun with a heavy dose of social commentary. Follow his work on his website, and here on SharksEatMeat.

Review : Trevor Hawkins
Review : Trevor Hawkins
If you could describe Trevor Hawkins in one word It would be: Adventure. His lens always finds a fun, colorfully carefree way to enliven his subjects. Trevor’s film and photography work include documentary, sports, travel, commercial, and entertainment.
Trevor is the original founder of SharksEatMeat. In 2010 he tirelessly collaborated with visual artists and built a strong online audience for emerging artists. After establishing a community around the daily site he moved on to different projects including his own film production company - Mammoth Media.
Trevor’s work with Mammoth produced fantastic travel photos and film. Some of his most striking photographs are from his travels to the American Northwest, Latin America and Rwanda. Trevor uses color like a painter. He treats light like an impressionist. Rose golds, sparkling bright oranges and deep blues remind you of parties on a summer evening. His photos are never dull. Trevor’s time with Mammoth Media has led to quality work with large clients like Heartland Bowhunter and Boulevard Brewing.
Trevor’s recent film Lotawanna explores themes of living in a small-town lake community and dreaming of something more - something intangible.

Review : Tiny Escalators
Review : Tiny Escalators
Tiny Escalators is a folk band in Kansas City, Missouri. They have performed and recorded as a trio since they formed in a basement in 2015. The band has a style like Neil Young and the Moldy Peaches. A blend of soft acoustic indie with Latin drums that move the songs along: rolling like a dog scurrying across a wood floor.
Band leader Nash High writes, sings and plays guitar, accordion and harmonica for the group. Percussionist Mark Coulter performs on a homemade drum kit for Tiny Escalators. Singer, violinist and marimba player Melinda Lavenau adds a great depth to the group, creating complex harmonies with vocalist Nash and providing moving melodies on violin and glockenspiel.
Front man Nash works on interesting side projects including solo electronic music under his own name Nash and another shoegazing style project under the name Bran. He also created a random music creator called the Voodoo Music Generator. His other musical offshoots often contain his unique story-telling and narrative style vocals, with different, less acoustic instrumentation and compositions. Drummer Mark Coulter also performs in other bands, including New York psychedelic cumbia band Los Coulters.
Their recent album “Tiny Apartment Recordings” is available online, and features 14 strange tracks about ghosts, trains and telephones. Songs like “Our Potions” and “We As All Things Grow” have a hauntingly smooth country rock tone, that makes you want to enjoy fresh air and relax. The group has gathered a following with regular shows at personal venues such as libraries, coffee shops, and house parties, but they don’t shy away from bars, clubs, and festivals either. Find out more about the talented group at the links below.

Review : James Meyer
Review : James Meyer
James Meyer has a unique background before coming to commercial fashion photography. Years ago, he was a videographer and a digital collage artist. I would later hear that he was doing event photography for clubs and entertainment venues in Australia, and again later find he had started Eclipse, a fashion photography magazine in the United States. While Jimmy has always had a great eye, his talent and craft have evolved into an entirely new class.
His best photos have an elegance that could be described as Calvin Klein meets Kubrick. A 2017 photoshoot with model Cierra Morris produced some of his boldest photos. The shapely composition and stark linear design empower the figure. The hair and wardrobe are showcased prominently and uniquely. “Warm” featuring, Gabrielle Rénee Carpenter is striking. Shadows and shapes envelop and unfold like a Thomas Hart Benton or Georgia O’Keeffe.
His recent magazine publication reveals his grand vision and entrepreneurial efforts. Eclipse is available online and in print in Kansas City. You can find more of Meyer’s work at his website and here on SharksEatMeat.
