Argijale -> Flickr Photostream

One way to go about capturing a strong image is to be in an interesting place to begin with. I really enjoy Argijale’s Flickr photostream because he seems to constantly immerse himself in places and situations that make for interesting photography.

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.

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!

Simon Harsent -> Iceberg Portraits

Photographer Simon Harsent’s thought provoking ‘Melt’ series of iceberg portraits fascinate me. At first glance they feel powerful and have a sense of permanence, but then those feelings are soon replaced by a darker reality, making them seem dismal and fragile. Aside all of that, they are amazingly captured and processed. Be sure to have [...]

Inflow -> Hand Skills

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.

Favourite Places 2: Tempelhofer Feld -> Matthias Heiderich

Berlin based photographer and designer Matthias Heiderich is a master at minimalism and at setting a distinct melodramatic mood with his photography. I personally enjoy the muted palette that he achieves with his photo processing and his ability to balance his subject matter vs. the void. Brilliant work, more to see beyond the links 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 [...]

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?

Theory One -> Ink Drawings/Flickr Stream

I’m really into the character drawings that can be found on Theory One’s flickr photo stream. Great line quality and character in each and every one, so worth checking out. I found them while browsing through Eight Hour Day’s perpetually interesting and inspiring design blog.

Paolo Novelli -> Kenya Photography: I'm a Star

Very inspiring portrait photography coming from filmmaker and a photographer Paolo Novelli. The stunning light and texture make them feel like old master oil paintings. More beautiful work beyond the link below (discovered on www.nalden.net).

Excerpt from his website:

“In 2009 I left for Kenya to work on a photographic project, I intended to portray the subtle balance [...]

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.

Luminous Earth Grid -> Stuart Williams

This is definitely one of the more ambitious and disruptive installation art pieces that I’ve come across in a long while. Apparently, it was created and documented some time ago in 1993, but it’s been floating around on Tumblr blogs a bit lately because of it’s timely on-trend aesthetic. Here’s the overall project description from the Behance page:

“Luminous [...]

Daniel Kornrumpf -> Knit Portraits

I’ve seen these knit portraits by Daniel Kornrumpf blogged and re-blogged quite a bit in the last few days, and rightly so. They are nothing short of amazing. The artist’s attention to detail and sensitivity to skin-tone and color reminds me of some of the works created by Lucian Freud. Many more to see on his [...]

Octave Typography -> Ana Gomez

The typography works coming from NYC based designer Ana Gomez are pretty amazing to take in. The accuracy and consistent flow of the line quality is nothing short of fantastic and great fun to look over.

Notes from Behance:

“Octave has been created with the intention of fusing together the graphical elements of written musical composition with the English alphabet. [...]
