Who doesn’t like astronauts? Massachusetts-based artist Scott Lister cleverly paints a fish-out-of-water narrative for the post-kubrick generation. (Sort of like a sci-fi Edward Hopper.) Good fun for Pop lovers and space nerds alike.

Interview with the artist at PixelSurgeon
The life of Chet Baker remains as fascinating and mysterious as his unmistakable voice. In this ghostly documentary, director Bruce Weber paints an honest portrait of the iconic trumpeter and troubadour who has become the epitome of 50’s West Coast Cool. Though romantically captured in Weber’s signature dreamy black-and-white style, Let’s Get Lost takes a frank look a man whose life, looks and brilliant talent are eroded by years of self-destruction. Including rare performance footage, candid interviews, and even a cameo by Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
