21 artists come together to show off their amazing helmet designs at a Portland art gallery, all supported by classic motorcycle helmet company BELL. Love to see a company take notice and place a spotlight on their customer’s passions. Makes for an entertaining view. Visit -> http://www.bellsports.com ink&paper from Ben Proudfoot on Vimeo. This nicely done short documentary covers the oldest and last traditional, old technology letterpress and custom artist paper establishments in L.A. The story is well told and gives us a view into the working process and the modern day struggles of both these lost trades. Visit -> http://www.mcmanusmorgan.com/ Visit -> http://aardvarkletterpress.com/ Digital Alphabet in Stone – Dom Hans van der Laan/Autobahn 2011 from autobahn on Vimeo. This is an interesting and rare view into the art of transferring type from the digital medium to stone. Makes for a fun view for those who enjoy great type and amazing old world skills. Visit -> www.autobahn.nl It’s been a while since I’ve posted any interesting music here on circuitbreaks. This past weekend while having breakfast at Easy Street Records in the new hood, Tame Impala bellowed into my ears and made my egg and cheese sandwich that much more of a deeper experience. The Australian three piece cranks out some seriously [...] Pacific Pirates from Billabong on Vimeo. It’s August, seems like a perfect time to take a few minutes and soak up a well produced surf documentary. Personally, I’m a sucker for them, ever since I first checked out the original ‘Endless Summer’ when I was a kid. Anyway, this video smartly produced by Billabong has documneted [...] Kenton Slash Demon – Daemon from Dark Matters on Vimeo. Notes From Vimeo: “On their quest for creating classic computer effects without the computer, Dark Matters continues the analogue feel from the “Matter” video. The new Kenton Slash Demon video, Deamon is the take on analogue wireframes in the same naive universe. An abstract space opera about [...] History of Gaming from Florian Smolka on Vimeo. Ahh, this video brings back so many memories doesn’t it? Especially the earlier bit, not to expose my age or anything. This clever video was made by university “Game Design” students from Munich as a video project. I like the overall simplicity and the subtle humor of the hand gestures. [...] I’m finding a ton of amazing things on Flickr lately. The above shots are vintage photos taken by Des Moines based Photographer Phil Roeder’s father (possibly with a Zeiss Ikon Contessa from what I’ve gathered from his Flickr page) while travelling Hong Kong and Macau in the 1950s. Wonderful retro coloring and contrast along with the fact [...] I came across Ross Gunter’s super clean poster print design while browsing Behance the other day. I dig his brand of the international typographic style and his bold color sensibilities. With those two skills combined there is little that can go wrong, if you ask me. His site is full of great works and is [...] Above are a few of my favorite pics from this past week that I took with my iPhone 3Gs. I used the ‘Plastic Bullet’ app from software company ‘Red Giant’ to add the interesting border effects and vignette treatment. ‘Plastic Bullet’ has quickly become my favorite filtering tool over ‘hipstamatic’ because I think the overall look [...] Recently, a friend of mine from work introduced me to these amazing portraits, shot by Seattle based artist Dan Carrillo with his 8 x 10 Burke and James and an 11 x 14 Deardorff studio camera named ‘Daisy’. Using an old technique called ‘wet-plate collodion’ on plates called ‘Ambrotypes’ his images are all one-of-a-kind, similar [...] I’ve been keeping a simple posterous iPhone pic blog for a while now. I like to post all the random day-to-day stuff that I come across, recently I’ve been posting sound clips from my guitar practice sessions as well… all in good fun. Those are three of my latest shots above. Lately my pic uploads [...] Thinking Is Fun from Davis Silis on Vimeo. Brilliantly ridiculous. Well executed retro style complete with old diagrams and even the appearance of a cigar and martini. What else do you need to help conjure up some really smashing ideas? This is definitely my brand of humor. If you frequent my blog, which is wishful thinking on my part, you may have noticed the radio silence over the last few days. A couple of times a year I actually get to see my parents in person. This past weekend they were able to come out for a visit and it was their [...] If your life has become as surreal as mine has lately, then you may need a dose of something so obscurely potent that it may cause your reality to jump the rail a bit and send you down a better track. Or maybe you just enjoy the digitally delicious and crunchy sounds of 8 bit [...] |
