My ‘old school’ pal from way back in the the day when most of our time was spent trying to score change to play video games (arcade games, the kind you stood in front of at a mall) sent me this link yesterday with one simple statement attached -> “this is why you want to [...]

I happened across this talented and tight little Los Angeles based group called ‘He’s My Brother She’s My Sister’ on a friends Facebook page the other day (thanks Chris!). They seem to be channeling some serious ragtime retro goodness from an era that has long since passed us by. The vocal styling, upright bass and [...] 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 [...] I took notice of this font called Playful™ the other day while browsing work on the Behance’ network. Judging from the creative examples above it seems to be a very versatile font. I think the 3D renderings are my favorite. Many other uses are to be seen on the Behance’ site, including the unaffected set. Great [...] KraftWork from seeper on Vimeo. The above video by KraftWork is a nice new example of architectural image mapping. I especially like the Tron-ish white line/hairline rendering towards the beginning of the video, feels unlike anything that I’ve seen before coming from this creative medium. Visit -> http://www.seeper.com/ 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, [...] Indonesia based photographer Noran Bakrie has captured some truly magical shots. I’m not certain what kind of equipment he’s using but I really enjoy the retro feel of his camera’s output. Above is a small sampling of the many great photos that reside on his site. Visit -> http://www.noranbakrie.com I discovered this new video called ‘End Love’ by OK GO on a friend’s Facebook wall today (thanks Chris!). It’s definitely on par with what OK GO has smartly conjured up for themselves in the past, actually, this may be my new favorite video from them. Great slo-mo shots contrasted by high speed motion blur, and [...] I really enjoy Napoleón Vuelaenpartes’ genius fusion of old school skate, retro silk screen illustration and Star Wars imagery. In my opinion, he could keep playing around with those ingredients endlessly, I don’t think I’d ever get bored of them. Nice colors, textures, fresh illustration and type… Have a look via the link below. Visit -> http://www.flickr.com/photos/napoleonvuelaenpartes/ Along with the news of the iPhone 4 release on June 24th, Grove Made is taking pre-orders on their new laser engraved iPhone case specifically designed for the new model. I wondered how the bamboo case would look given that the new iPhone design has some sharper edges to it… still looks very nice. Visit -> [...] 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 [...] iPad + Velcro from Jesse Rosten on Vimeo. This clever video has been spreading through cyberspace at lightning speed the last couple days, and rightly so. There’s no doubt that the iPad really does make itself useful in so many endless ways, so, having a super flexible mounting system that can apply to a billion different [...] I was just speaking to someone yesterday of the apparent fluidity and unlimited potential for the iPad/iPhone/eReader/mobile anything case sub-markets and then coincidentally, later in the evening stumbled upon this interesting company called ‘Grove Made’ who makes these nifty laser engraved bamboo iPhone cases. Pretty slick. I found this on one of my favorite posterous [...] Metronomy – On The Motorway – by JUL & MAT from JUL & MAT on Vimeo. This is an unofficial video for ‘On The Motorway’ ‘Metronomy’ (an 80s-ish pop group from the U.K.). This aspirational/upbeat instrumental track combined with the bright rhythmic splatters of fluorescent paint should help place some energy behind your clicks… If not, [...] London based artist and designer Dan McPharlin has created a nice collection of beautifully rendered paperkraft analogue miniatures and posted them for us to enjoy on his Flickr stream. The detail is pretty astonishing and his use of color for small accents on buttons and wires just makes them a lot of fun to look [...] |
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).
