Game of Thrones: The Exhibition

March 26, 2014 by Line Evensen Leave a Comment

The 4th season of the epic HBO series Game of Thrones, based on George R. R. Martins best selling book series ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’, is returning April 7th for another season filled with duplicity and treachery, death and survival, conquest and triumph.

When the 3rd season launched last year, HBO went on tour with an international Game of Thrones exhibition, to bring the marvelous and fascinating world of Westeros to the fans. It was – obviously – a great success. I mean, it was free AND you could take pictures of yourself sitting on the Iron Throne. Whats not to like?

Great news is that the exhibition again is on a world tour visiting five cities; Mexico City, Rio de Janiero, Oslo, Toronto Belfast, Austin, and Vancouver. This time HBO promises to offer ‘a fresh perspective on the show, focusing on key places, characters and relationships from the series’. Amongst the displays are weapons, props, armors, costumes, storyboards and more. You can also dive into the world of Westeros through a new, interactive experience. HBO will also offer merchandise from their shop.

Everything completely free of charge. What an awesome way for HBO to show their gratitude towards the fans! This year I was thrilled to see that the exhibit is coming to Posthallen in Oslo, Norway the 26th-30th April. I have read all the books and seen every episode, so I can’t wait to explore Westeros in a new and different way.

Some time ago we came across the news that Black Milk Clothing were to launch a new collection featuring a Game of Thrones theme. And now the time has come! The collection launches March 11th, 2014 – tomorrow. The winter is definitely coming! And you better be prepared, ’cause some of the pieces are limited edition. Here at Black Forest Mag, we are great fans of Game of Thrones, and I – being a black metal chick – love most of the stuff which comes from Black Milk. If you never heard of them, we urge you to visit their website and check out their Instagram and Pinterest.

They are a clothing line which mainly focuses on leggings, tight dresses, bodies and stash – everything nylon. Best known are probably the Star Wars collection, and Black Milks generally playfulness with pretty nerdy themes (like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter etc).

Well, back to the new GoT-collection. What about a legging with the map of Westeros? Or a little dress with dragon scales? Here are some of our favourites from the collection:

Vincent Price – The Elegant Side of Evil

March 2, 2014 by Line Evensen Leave a Comment

We have great news! Some of you probably know of the legendary Vincent Price. But for those of you who does not, he was one of the most awesome actors ever to portrait dark and evil characters in horror films and film noir. Now his daughter, Victoria, has launched a website to keep his legacy alive on the Internet. And it’s really awesome!

Vincent Price also did Batman.

Vincent Price also did Batman.

Our first meeting with Vincent was at the end of his career (and his life), in his last feature film which was Edward Scissorhands. Vincent played the role as The Inventor, a role Tim Burton wrote specially for him. The Inventor creates Edward, a human-like boy, and teaches him how to be a loving and reflected human being. But before Edward is physically finished, The Inventor dies, leaving Edward alone with a broken heart, and scissors for hands. The movie is one of our  all time favourites by the way, and if you have’nt seen it, you really should!

But I digress. Vincent Prices’ daughter recently launched the new website which gives her fathers fans a really personal look into his life, his personality and career. The daughter can tell on her blog that his two favourite aphorisms were

A man who limits his interests limits his life

and

If you are always curious, you will never be bored.

Victoria vividly describes her extroverted fathers curiosity for technology, and she is certain that he would have loved interacting with fans on social media. So her goal is to follow in his footprints and interact with his fans through the site and at horror conventions. He would have wanted it, she tells Fearnet.com. The best of it all, is that this is just the beginning of what she wants to give fans in the future. Sounds really promising!

A really fun fact we discovered is that Victoria is not a horror fan! But when she describes on the blog why, it’s not so hard to understand her;

Imagine you’re a little kid who absolutely adores your dad. You think he’s the kindest, gentlest, sweetest, most loving person you know. And then imagine that you see him doing horrible things to people–like really horrible–killing them and dipping them in vats of wax! And even worse, you have to watch horrible things happen to him–being burned, boiled alive, hacked to death by angry mobs, just to name a few. How would that make you feel?

For those of us interested in the darker sides of his curriculum, the Edgar Allan Poe related works is pretty obligatory. Also the horror movies from 1960s are a must see (although most of them are recently remade Hollywood style, so don’t pick the wrong one!). Price also did voiceover on Alice Cooper‘s  Welcome to My Nightmare from 1975.

Vincent Price and Alice Cooper.

Vincent Price was an art lover and collecter, and did actually go to Yale studying Art History. From the 1960s he was involved in the Vincent Price Collection of Fine Art, and the Vincent Price Art Museum at East Los Angeles College. Another fun fact: He commissioned works of our favourite artist Salvador Dalí!

BlackCraft – Welded Pyramid Sculpture

March 2, 2014 by Line Evensen Leave a Comment

Here at Black Forest Mag HQ we visit Etsy almost every day looking for special gems and treasures. It’s such great inspo, both for planning DIY-projects and  for exploring other artisans so that we can grow in our own creative process. Often we find items and artists that are too good not to be shared with others.

And because of that, we hereby kick off our own column named BlackCraft! Every now and then we’ll present a treasure wich we think represents our mission; Art in its blackest form!

This week we bring you RagNBoneStudios and their Welded Pyramid Sculpture, which is a unique piece of geometric home decor:

Noell Osvald – young and promising artist

February 18, 2014 by Line Evensen Leave a Comment

About a year ago we discovered some amazing self-portraits by a young woman from Hungary named Noell Osvald.

It was the minimalistic and surreal aestetics that first caught our eyes. When we took a closer look at the pictures, we were impressed by the compositions and the artistic qualities of Noells work.

In an interview with My Modern Met she revealed that the reason for her only using black and white is that she finds colors distracting:

– I feel the same way about clothes and other matters of appearance, which why I like to reduce my images to forms, composition and content.

You can follow Noell at her Flickr, Facebook or her website. You should also do a Google image search. We’re really hoping to see more of this promising artist!

OXMN – new collection from Ovate

February 10, 2014 by Line Evensen Leave a Comment

Ovate is an independent clothing line designed by Audrey Cantwell from Montreal, Canada. We have followed her dark creations for quite some time, and we were thrilled to see her launch a collaboration with Maude Nibelungen which is known for her knitted clothing on Etsy.

Ovate OXMN

While Maude Nibelungens earlier works has a kind of raw and unraveled look, Ovate has a more elegant and ethereal style. The mixture of these characteristics turned out great! We really loved the crocheting on the dress.

I’m sure you will see more of Ovate here at BFM in the future. Hailing from Norway, we of course love the Scandinavian inspired aesthetics in the designs.

OXMN consists of four pieces made of wool and washed leather. This is a limited edition. It’s so limited edition that each style  is limited to eight! So hurry up if you want one. They launch at Ovate.ca Monday, February 10th  6:00 PM (Montreal time).

You can also find Ovate on Facebook, and they have an awsome Tumblr blog.
