ATC – Rhonda Williams – Opposing Levels

Staying on the subject of independant artists and original trading cards, here is a gorgeous example of an ATC by our very own REX Cards artist, Rhonda Williams, titled ‘Opposing Levels’.  Rhonda calls her artwork style ‘Abstract Geometry’.  This particular card is created in colored pencils and pen and ink on bristol museum board.

“I approach the creation of my works as a form of meditation. I almost never start a piece with a predetemination of what it will be when finished. In addition to sciences such as astronomy and and geometry, I’ve been very stongly influenced by more esoteric subjects like astrology and Tarot. All deal with the symetry of relationships between energies and objects and their affects on one another. ~~ Rhonda Williams ~~’

BUS Passengers

Presenting the BUS Passengers of NYC
A unique collection of anonymous photographs taken by Daniel Falgerho

“These pictures were taken in Manhattan between 1993 and 1999. After I had a serious motorcycle accident in 1992 I came to the belated conclusion that riding a motorcycle in a city where everyone is in a big hurry and where the enforcement of traffic laws is essentially non-existent was not a good idea. Better late than never.

As a result I found myself riding the city buses almost everywhere and I was struck by the rich diversity of people I encountered: young people, old people, everyone in between, people of all ethnic origins, outcasts, homeless people, business types, nannies with children, members of all social classes. This is where New Yorkers really mix. Here you are in close proximity to people you may never see again, the atmosphere is far more relaxed than in the subway, there is a steady change of characters and you might even strike a conversation. Yes, a conversation between strangers in New York!

I had to document this. I decided to take pictures. Not quite surreptitiously but discreetly, shooting mostly from the hip, using small, quiet, unobtrusive cameras (a Contax T and a Rollei 35 S for those who must know).
From the beginning, I was enthusiastic about this project and few people seemed to mind. I caught a few looking right at the camera and two attractive young women positively glaring but everyone else either paid no attention or let me indulge in my quirky behavior. Hey, this is New York!

My heartfelt thanks to all of them.” – DF
