Between writing SOTBNerdy pieces, listening to bomb SOTBMusic, and job hunting (more on that at a later date), I got this one in my inbox from NYC artist Brent Butler. The multifaceted artist’s latest visuals, “In The Desert,” find him attempting to achieve some sort of nirvana while becoming one with nature. This is all […]
