Nearly Normal -> The Wolf I Used To Be...

The Wolf I Used To Be… from Nearly Normal on Vimeo.

This papercraft stop-motion film is both mesmerizing and and inspiring in so many ways. The story, lighting, the quality of the character rendering and the overall scenery is nothing short of pure genius. Can you tell I like it? Have a look for yourself.

Society6.com -> JHSINDESIGN

This past week I decided to check out the Society6 artist’s community/storefront. I have been shopping around for an online print and frame service for some of my photography anyway, so I decided, why not try a service that also connects artists together, similar to how the Blurb DIY book service does? So far, I [...]

Chris Sickels -> and his Harley Pacer

I like this little film about super talented artist Chris Sickels and his vintage Harley Pacer. All around, he seems like a great person, someone who appreciates the simple things in life but is also passionate about producing the things his mind gravitates towards. Makes for an entertaining view, godspeed!

Sandro Perri -> love and light

sandro perri · love and light from Pedro Maia on Vimeo.

Incredibly stimulating visuals and sounds coming from an artist partnership, Pedro Maia – film and Sandro Perri – music. I highly recommend you check out the full album by Sandro Perri called ‘Impossible Spaces’.

Notes from Vimeo:

“Love and Light” video aims to explore the relation between a musician [...]

Ben Proudfoot -> ink&paper

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.

Really nice work coming from 20 year old Norwich, UK artist ‘Inflow’. Saw his stuf this morning via the magical tumblr radar. Many more insanely detailed drawings to be seen beyond the link below.

Hero -> Miguel Endara

Hero from Miguel Endara on Vimeo.

The above video documents Miguel Endara’s 210 hour magical pointillism portrait of his father called ‘Hero’. How many dots does it take to create such an amazing image? He’s guessing about 3.2 million well placed micro dots of ink. Give or take one or two… Very impressive and very fun [...]

Boris Tellegen -> Diversions Series

I recently discovered the sculptural works of Amsterdam based artist Boris Tellegen. Full of dynamic multi-layered structure and modern edge, they really hold my attention. I’d like to see them in person, I’m sure as light changes in any given room or space, they change personality right along with it. Many more great works by Boris [...]

Senseless Drawing BOT -> So Kanno + Takahiro Yamaguchi

Sometimes senseless, random scribbles on a wall can be a ‘thing of beauty’. Especially, when applied by a free-roaming gallery robot. Pretty amazing, would love to see it in person. Check out the video below.

TEDxAmsterdam -> Human Brain

TEDxAmsterdam 2011 Human Brain from WE ARE Pi on Vimeo.

Great concept, amazing visual effect. Have a look.

Notes from Vimeo:

“Rutger Hauer, The Dutch National Ballet and Amsterdam’s creative community make brains from people, an Idea Worth Doing. This is the dress rehearsal of the first human brain in a series of three. See it live: 25th [...]

Burning Man -> Rites of passage

Burning Man: Rites of passage – Day from Ahmed on Vimeo.

This impeccably produced and captured video was taken at this year’s Burning Man. It’s a complete trip and well worth the view. SRSLY. Watch it.

Notes from Vimeo:

“Part one (Day) of a two part series. A short glimpse of a Burning Man experience. Hope you enjoy [...]

Francois Robert -> Stop The Violence Series

The work of artist and photographer Francois Robert has been showing up a bit this week on my Tumblr dashboard. This series called ‘Stop The Violence’, seemed appropriately creepy for the upcoming Halloween holiday. More amazingly precise arrangements of bone beyond the links below. How often does one get to say that?

Graffiti Wars 2011 -> channel4

Nice video documentary on street art vs. graffiti. Lot’s of candid material and great works to be seen, all told from a a street level p.o.v. Well worth the view.

Bryon Darby -> Flight Paths photo set

Byron Darby is a Northern Utah born and raised artist, with a focus in photography. The impressive composited image at the top called “Seventy Flights in Ninety Minutes” is the piece of his that originally caught my eye. His images are with no doubt the product of great persistence and planning. Many more fantastic examples [...]

'Views' Photo Set -> Alberto Salván Zulueta

I really like the overall effect, technique and feel of the photography set called ‘Views’ by Alberto Salván Zulueta. Two significantly different views melded together to create an even more powerful and thought provoking image, that somehow feels comfortably whole and standalone. Many more via the link below.
