One of many neat projects from avoision, this ‘video‘ (featuring music by Dan Frick) pulls random images from flikr that have the song lyrics as tags. It’s different every time.

If you weren’t stoked on the re-release under Dark Horse of Rafael Grampa’s Mesmo Delivery, now you certainly are.

Or if you aren’t, I don’t really understand you. You can see image below, no?

Go and read his interview, then buy his book, and spoon with it nightly.

Why stick with the stoic old two handed clock? Asprial Clocks takes it up a notch with the truly unique spiral formed clock. Unfortunately at £350 it might not be the most affordable, any inspiring clock makers out there want to make me one?

Production stills from David Bell, for his upcoming stop motion movie Illumin. I think high detail models are a really sweet size, though miniaturized versions, they’re still too big to really be kept as decoration, like you would a figurine or doll house. Anything that size and quality wasn’t made for consumers, and has probably been involved in something sweet.

Video from Goeblins, a Parisian animation school. The site is in French but the animations are all so nice.

National Geographic is known for their images. Somehow they manage to corral the best natural photographers in to one place, so it was no surprise to me when every image that sprung up in their International Photography Contest set was as good as the last. This might be the best way to supplement your Commons addiction.

Pictured above is a portrait of Charles Darwin and, beside it, a version that I made on my computer. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that my computer made it for me; the picture on the right was evolved using a program written by artist/scientist Steve DiPaola. The program is part of his research into computer creativity, which is, as the name implies, an effort to make computers creative. Evolving Darwin’s Gaze is described in an excellent set of videos, and also on its website, where you can evolve your own set of portraits.

Charles Chary, aka Paper Extravaganza, is one creative paper crafter. He crafts topographical map type paper installations out of nothing more than paper and glue. Scope out his entire set of works, as they vary in design and style. I really like this guy, reminds me of stalagmites and stalactites of some cozy bear cave.

A very nice poster by designer Martin Ansin.  There’s no doubting that his monochrome illustration is top notch, but I’m particularly drawn to the header and title block.  It’s a really nice blend of classic and modern type.  For contrast, you can look at the original poster here.

Not surprisingly, although not intentionally on my part, this is another one of the Alamo Drafthouse’s productions.

I wish my sketchbook looked this good.
