Satori from Abhilasha Dewan on Vimeo. I really dig the overall effect of this cleverly composited animation short by Abhilasha Dewan, inspired by the misty mountains of Nainital, India. Lot’s of great subtle shading and filtering, his use of photography to add depth and dimension to the illustration is just awesome. Very inspiring piece. Tumblr has become such an amazingly vast archive of people’s interests, I never know what I’ll discover on my dashboard. Being a car guy, and a fan of all things obscure and retro, I’m having a lot of fun with antiquegleam.tumblr.com. Lot’s of old forgotten automobile designs, ads and odd captures of the classics in [...] 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.

Cool outdoor project coordinated by the folks at Shwood Eyewear (notes from Vimeo): “Journey into the backwoods of Oregon with Eric Singer and crew to construct a community hideaway in the trees. The over sized nest is intended to inspire others to make the trek into [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] Chicago based artist and gallery curator David “Netherland” van Alphen is the creator of these wonderfully obscure 1970s charged collage works. Consistent in theme and playfully nostalgic, his site makes for an entertaining and inspirational place to click around. You can also purchase some of his prints here. Visit -> http://web.mac.com/dvagallery/Netherland_Art/Home.html When I was in school I thought my typography teacher was pure evil for having us hand letter the alphabet over and over until we got our kerning and serifs perfectly nailed down. Years later, I now understand and greatly appreciate what he was teaching us. Brooklyn based designer Dana Tanamachi has a collection of [...] 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. [...] This is pretty fantastic. ‘Man About Town Magazine‘, a men’s style and popular culture magazine has featured the smooth skate stylings of Kilian Martin as a way to promote their latest issue (Life’s a Beach – the Winter Sun Issue). Innovative skateboarding + sleepy 1950′s retro chic = WIN. Nice Art Direction by Atelier Franck [...] Last week while commuting in to work I was lucky enough to hear this new track called ‘Saying Goodbye’ by the Greenhornes on KEXP radio. It was a clear morning, and Mt. Rainier was not only beaming in the rising sun (which is impressive enough), it was also sporting a massively epic plume of snow [...] As The Stars Fall – Artificial Sun from AS THE STARS FALL on Vimeo. I really enjoy the sounds, sights and overall aesthetic of this music video coming from Paris, France based music group ‘As the Stars Fall’. I feel that the very personal and candid approach to the video production gives the already magical soundtrack [...] |
