It's been a while since we've heard of the crew, but they've sent of pictures of their time in the US. The last we heard, they were deported out of there for causing mayhem, and are now heading to France. Seeing the pictures, we're guessing they've had fun in the Lone star state.

A small word from the man who was lucky enough to be their photographer and live, Matt Crawford: "I should start with mad props to Trevor and the entire Fiz-iks crew for generating the concept for The Orbacle and then finding the masks for The Crew. The entire thing is well conceptualized and looks great. I really like emphasizing the potential for storytelling in a long exposure shot. Stringing along an international story development process is a magnificent thing, the possibilities are literally endless.....with The Crew Fiz-iks provided a very exotic looking cast, a strong story line, and freedom to continue the narrative thread in any direction. So, it's like a perfect project and I am very honored to have been able to play a small part. I can't wait to see how it all develops....."

Now let's see what the crew has been up to in Texas.

The third part of fiz-iks' Orb-acle collaboration project: revenge!

The crew is trading in the land of the rising sun for the lone star state, but not before they take care of some business. You better believe: It's payback time!

And the Fiz-Iks Orb-acle story continues!

This series of shots documents the "makeovers" that The Orb-acle kindly gave each of these men. Here you can witness the creation of the genetic freaks which have become to be known simply as The Crew.

Brazil is trying to call us. I think we need to go over there soon to check out the massive amount of talent that steadily flows from the country. Recently we got in contact with Felipe Cretella. Felipe is an art-director/artist/photographer from São Paulo, looking for a way to get around and showcase his work to the world. Seeing that isn't easy to do in Brasil, like many Brasilians, he is looking for a way to do this outside of the country.

Felipe's works are interesting. His work as an art-director is very much that, work. His creative outlets seem very versatile. Lightpainting, play with symmetry and movement. For example, check out the amazing asbestos series based on one of the most famous buildings in São Paulo. Dynamic is the word. Today we'll try and uncover what moves this artist, and we hope to see much more of him in the future.

For those who didn't already know, it's final. Lightpainting has got us sitting upright in our seats and has our full attention. Through our friend and crewmember Dana aka TCB we came in contact with Matt Crawford. Matt has gone trough the same journey we have: He discovered the world of lightpainting and got hypnotized by the lights. Now Matt and his crew are busy on a big project on lightpainting that will include a movie called 'luminary'. The movie is described as a 'gonzo documentary' about lightpainting. For this, Matt and the crew travel the world to show the work of numerous lightpainters/artists all around the globe. We want to know everything about this amazing project, and we will be following the crew in their progress. But first, a proper introduction. Welcome to the world of 'luminary'.

Now what is all this? Our good friends from Fiz-Iks started on a new collaboration project we couldn't be more hyped about! They've searched the earth to find the freakiest animal heads they could find and beheaded them (just kidding, they're just masks but they're still freakishly scary) to tell a lightpainting story on a global scale! The first chapter will be made in the home-base of Fiz-Iks, from where they will be sent to lightpainting artists all over the world that will continue the story. Fiz-Iks gave CFYE the honor to feature this story and let the world see how this story will unfold.

We told you not to sleep on the CFYE/Fiz-Iks collaboration! Thanks to the talented crew from fiz-iks we can present you with a sweet tutorial for making one of the handiest tools for ya light junkies; A spray can filled with lightpaint! So please try this at home, and while you're at it, download the awesome CFYE/Fiz-Iks spraypaint label created by Meneer de Zwart!(pdf) Oh and don't forget to send us back some pictures in use. But now what you all came for: the tutorial. Written by Trevor from Fiz-Iks.

Just when you thought you've seen it all, along comes the crew from Fiz-iks to ruin your perception of reality. Based in Japan, their light art goes a lot further then the well-known city neon lights. With a van full of light toys and heads full of crazy ideas they take their art to any place they encounter. Without a doubt they're going to be responsible for lifting light painting up to a next level.

Seeing these guys are a great support with bringing CFYE into this world, we will be working together a lot in the future and you'll be seeing loads of CFYE/Fiz-Iks collaborations so stay tuned. More on that soon. First, a proper introduction to the world of Fiz-iks!

Somewhere in the dark midst of North Carolina (Stanly County to be exact) strange lights are known to appear. Hovering orbs, twirls and trails color the sky on a regular basis. The locals talk about 'el extraterrestre' or area 41. Since the lights have been appearing two years ago, no-one still knows what is going on

Sometimes I feel like Commander La Forge from 'Star Trek, Next Generation'. Uncovering strange new worlds and boldly going where no one has gone before. Only without my glasses I can't see shit! What I'm trying to say is, that we use this spaceship called CFYE to explore the strange and intriguing worlds of creatives as much as possible, and just when you thought you've seen everything, a whole new galaxy appears for your eyes. In this case, that galaxy is called lightpainting and we won't stop exploring it 'till we featured everything on CFYE, so please read on!
