Joseph Quinn’s Eddie Munson has left a mark on many — even in the form of a cornfield art mural — through his role in “Stranger Things.”
Netflix captured a soaring aerial view of a 1-acre portrait of the metal-shredding hero, created by Stan Herd on a farm “somewhere in Indiana.”
The video begins with that signature “Stranger Things” font indicating the artwork’s locaton and then viewers hear Munson’s line “Chrissy, this one’s for you,” followed by the familiar power chords of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” that Munson plays in the final episode of Season 4.

Who said the d'Orsay or MoMA get to have all the Post-Impressionist fun? In September, crop artist and painter Stan Herd completed his months-long project of replicating Vincent van Gogh's famed Olive Trees on nearly 1.5 acres of land in Eagan, Minnesota — giving travelers flying through the Minneapolis—St. Paul International Airport an unexpectedly delightful view (no offense, normal farmland). Commissioned by the Minneapolis Institute of Art, where the original painting is held, Herd planted an array of watermelons, cantaloupes, squash, and pumpkins to replicate the 1889 mastwork's color palette, and rearranged rocks, mulch, and soil for the needed texture and depth. Arduous? Yes. But worth it? Absolutely. "I've always had a fascination with van Gogh. He was one of the artists whose stories I connected with really early," explains Herd in the museum's accompanying video. "The amazing thing about van Gogh's painting is that there's not a single straight...

The real life story of Stan Herd comes to the big screen in Earthwork, an inspirational tale of an artist played by Academy Award nominee John Hawk (Winter's Bones).
Some say that artists have their head in the clouds but for Stan Herd that would be quite the advantage. A third generation Kansas farmer, Stan has pioneered a new art form known as representational crop art, or Earthwork.
Using the tools that he grew up with Stan began manipulating the earth to create pictures that can only be viewed from the air.

In his narrative debut, writer/director Chris Ordal undertakes an ambitious biopic that explores the life and works of “crop artist” Stan Herd. While it sometimes stumbles, Earthwork is overall an intimate and uplifting portrait of a man whose art is both literally and figuratively groundbreaking.
Oscar-nominee John Hawkes stars as Stan, a simple man from Kansas whose life ambition is to turn patches of land into living canvases. Earthwork follows Stan’s journey to transform a trash-strewn lot on Manhattan’s Upper West Side into a vibrant work of art before bulldozers make way for a new Trump hotel. When pitching his proposed piece to Trump’s people, Stan hurriedly declares he only needs them to pay for the land – that he’ll cover the cost of all supplies himself. To pay for his materials, he precariously juggles his family’s finances – promising his supportive but long-suffering wife (Laura Kirk...

Based on the true story of earthwork artist Stan Herd (John Hawkes), who uses natural materials to create aerial-viewed portraits, this film sparks viewers’ curiosity just from reading the synopsis. The real-life plot is flexible enough to entice a variety of audience members, and the well-directed, -written and -cast film does the inspiring story justice.
“Earthwork” follows a 1994 project that became a major landmark in Herd’s career. Before the construction of one of Donald Trump’s skyscrapers in New York City, Herd is given permission to create one of his landscape pieces on the property. Encouraged by his long-time friend and promoter Peter Kaplan (Bruce MacVittie), he makes Trump an offer he can’t refuse: Herd is chosen over other artists who applied to the project because he agrees to pay...

Crop Art consists of the creation of images on large areas of land, known as Earthworks: open country such as Montana comes to mind. One crop artist, Stan Herd (John Hawkes, "Winter's Bone") from Kansas, created such art in his home state over 160 acres with portraits of Kiowa War Chief Satanta and Will Rogers in 1981 and 1983 respectively. Associated with the Prairie Renaissance Movement Stan Herd got some media coverage in the Smithsonian Magazine in 1988. In Havana, Cuba, he created the Rosa Blanca in 2001. His work was seen on CBS, Fox, NBC, ABC and CNN.

Acclaimed Winnipeg filmmaker Guy Maddin has won the Best Experimental Short award at the 2010 SXSW Film Festival for Night Mayor. The film is a fictional documentary about Bosnian inventor Nihad Ademi who, in 1939, built a machine that harnessed the power of the Aurora Borealis to transmit images of Canadians to themselves.
Created as a tribute to the National Film Board of Canada’s 70th anniversary, Night Mayor playfully twists concepts of fact and fiction. Maddin describes the film as a documentary, even though his subject never actually existed, since it was shot documentary style with no planned action or script. Maddin assembled his cast and crew to document Ademi’s story as it may have happened and captured the action in his uncanny style of recreating time periods.
To see the director at work and to hear him describe his process, embedded below is a making-of clip posted on the Nfb’s website.

Though SXSW 2010 is only at the halfway point, the music portion is about to kick into high gear and many film folks are leaving town. The awards ceremony was held last night, and Jeff Malmberg's Marwencol and Lena Dunham's Tiny Furniture won jury awards for best feature-length documentary and narrative, respectively.
Audience awards went to For Once in My Life (documentary) and Brotherhood (narrative). As if often the case, I haven't seen any of the winners, so can't comment further on them, but we do have a review for Marwencol up on the site, which is linked below.
