I think what I like best about the videography work coming from L.A. based ‘The Qualities of Light’ is the diversity and freshness of their content. The following excerpt from their website manifesto say’s it all, “visual displays to highlight the lives of inspiring people or organizations within the Los Angeles area”. There are only [...]

The quirky and unique works of Ghent, Belgium based illustrator, animator and motion designer Kristof Luyckx caught my attention the other day when I happened across his new video for recording artist ‘Hermanos Inglesos feat. MeMe – Wanderland’ (below). His character styling and animation techniques give him a flavor of his own and are very [...] 35mm from Pascal Monaco on Vimeo. Nice motion design, fun references to 35 motion picture classics and a great soundtrack easily pulls you along from beginning to end of this 2 minute journey through the history of film by Hannover, Germany based designer Pascal Monaco. You can check out more of his work via the link [...] These stunning photographic images by Lieven Dirckx remind me of the rich, deep, luminescent ‘old master’ oil paintings that I’ve spent time in front of, with jaw dropped, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The works by Rembrandt in particular come to mind… Only, these images venture into a very surreal and dreamlike place and [...] Last weekend I caught myself taking another randomly found mannequin photo while walking around the Fremont Sunday outdoor market (the top black and white image). Over time I’ve accumulated a few these mannequin shots, so I’ve decided to create a little Flickr photo set of them that I hope to expand upon. More beyond the [...] Ruben Córdoba Schwaneberg is a very talented designer based in Barcelona, Spain. His type, sense of color and imagery feels extremely fresh to me. He specializes in motion graphics, illustration and character design. The above images are from his poster set collection that he calls ‘Melancoloric’ and can be seen with a few more via [...] The photography of Calgary based photographer Levi Wedel is crisp, light conscious and dead-on when it comes to framing and composition. He shoots primarily with a Hasselblad 903SWC film camera and enjoys printing his works ‘old school’ or analog. He also curates a fresh photography blog called ‘Images Found’, where he showcases images he’s found [...] I don’t have a ton to say here about the many beautiful renderings by ‘Graffiti Technica’ other than I ♥ them. Their latest video update is perfection, from the simple type lockups, subtle dream state music, surreal minimalist arty landscape and then the big finish with the 3D graffiti tag mysteriously hovering like a UFO [...] The photographic works of Romain Laurent are both innovative and disruptive. The above captures are from his collection called ‘TILT’ and are a reminder that a simple skew or angle on an otherwise ordinary and everyday shot may cause the need for great attention. Applying this effect to the grand, iconic and always entertaining backdrop [...] Seaweed from Tell No One on Vimeo. I love to come across surprisingly innovative and creative techniques that are the product of playful and open experimentation. Too often do we try to mimic current/existing trends and forget that there are new, fresh trends out there to be discovered and invented. I’m sure this technique by London [...] If you’re looking for a new online resource for design, art, music, culture and fashion you may want to check out Honeyee.com. I like the simplicity of the site’s template which allows the imagery to speak loudly and not become diluted by a heavy site skin. The categories are pretty interesting as well, covering everything [...] The talented Julien Vallée has some new motion design work on his portfolio site. This time, less focused on papercraft and more about quirky little life subtleties that seem to play up the old expression ‘less is more’ in a big way. As the video plays through each odd scene becomes a bit more surreal, [...] Coalition Of The Willing from coalitionfilm on Vimeo. 24 talented motion artists have come together for a good cause… not much else to say. Have a look. Notes from Vimeo Page: ‘Coalition of the Willing’ is a collaborative animated film and web-based event about an online war against global warming in a ‘post Copenhagen’ world. ‘Coalition of the Willing’ [...] The 3D renderings posted on Depot Visuals’ Flickr photostream are extremely unique and fresh. I find myself wanting to look them over in great detail, and there is a lot of detail to cover. Part organic, part geometric they seem to transcend all lines of the ordinary and expected, which, to me, makes them all [...] The alien works and explorations of designer and technologist Reza Ali are captivating and inspiring on many levels. Not only does he create wonderful imagery and design, he’s creating the apps and technologies that give birth to them. I love his appreciation for line, light, color and shape. You can tell from his many videos [...] |
In addition to showing my most recent Flickr photos here (left set of 6), I have decided to rotate my favorite Flickr contacts as well. This time showing photo thumbs from Simon Page's most interesting Flickriver (right set).
