Random Street Dancer | Downtown St. Pete, FL | Daft Punk - Aerodynamic
Saw this dude from my office window downtown St. Petersburg, FL. On the bottom floor of the building is a gym with big windows where people exercise, so he's doing this right in front of them. This song popped into my head as soon as I saw him. Pretty funny way to end a day at work...

Made without Profit
Music ~ Armik strums the heartstrings like some mythic master of romance. His guitar serves as a soulful, emotive voice, demonstrating a technique that is both wild and refined. His music is passionate, sensual, exotic and definitely romantic. Flamenco virtuoso Armik is a passport to an intoxicating musical world. His compositions are sultry Caribbean and Latin rhythms meshed with provocative Old World melodies.
Fusing traditional Spanish melodies with jazzy improvisation and progressive rhythms. Armik has concocted a passionate new sound recognized by so many as his own unique style described as Latin-gypsy-jazz.
Building on his legacy of excellence & invention Armik has produced and arranged all of his albums. Every song is played in one take the guitarist says proudly. A lot of times musicians will punch-in and overdub the parts, but I am totally against that. You lose the emotion and feeling when you work that way , and emotion is very important to me and my music.
Armik traveled frequently to Spain to play and study with various classical and flamenco musicians. Armik became an ardent student of Spanish folk music. When I first touched a flamenco guitar and heard the sound, I realized I could talk through my instrument.
Armik moved to Los Angeles in 1981, where he currently resides. It was while performing with other artists that fans began to ask him when he was finally going to record his own album. He fulfilled those requests with the 1994 release of Rain Dancer which caught the music world unawares with its ripened, romantic sound. The album rocketed to the Top 10 Billboard's New Age Albums chart, and received airplay in such major markets as San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Orlando and San Diego.
Artist ~ ANDREW ATROSHENKO — Andrew Atroshenko was born in 1965 in the city of Pokrovsk, Russia. After graduation from St. Petersburg Academy of Art in 1999, Andrew was invited by a New England, US based art group Bay Arts to take part in their exhibitions and activities, spending that entire year in the United States into the Millennium.
According to Andrew, This year in America gave me more as an artist then all eight years of my formal studies in the prestigious Russian academies. I am a descendent of farmers, and I was impressed by the New England's landscapes, and how a man in America avoids harming its environment. After seeing Royo and Pino at Artexpo New York 2000, I suddenly realized what direction I want to take my art in. After staying for a year in the United States, I spent two years in Russia perfecting my art.
While Andrew's work was being sold successfully in galleries across Florida, California, Ohio and Arizona, the artist was taking part in a variety of group exhibitions and auctions in France, which resulted in all of his work being sold out. Since 2000, Andrew has worked with dealers from Western Europe and the US, exhibiting and selling his paintings in such US cities as Carmel , Scottsdale, Palm Desert, Las Vegas & Hawaii. Two of Andrew's pieces were also auctioned off by Sotheby's in 2002 and 2003. In 1992 Andrew married a fellow student, Maria, who is now an art critic in St Petersburg, Russia, and has a daughter named Alexandra. Like many artists, Andrew has his artistic references and influences, but his wife and daughter are the inspiration for his passion.
