When I was wandering through Christine McConnell's photos on Flickr I was more impressed with a totally separate photoshoot that she devised. And by devised, I literally mean devised. Its clever. Its genre-jarring. Its upside down and all kinds of backwards. Its fantastic.
So I caught wind that there was a new short called Everything & Everything & Everything and um... Carruth is in it. After falling on the floor, and self-administering an intracardiac injection of epinephrine... I literally emailed everyone in Hollywood associated with the movie I could get my hands on. (I seriously did. I'm sure I'm now on all of the major motion picture house's spam blockers. I kid you not.)
Magical Jellyfish Photos From the Deep -
Carnivorous Plants In All their Stop Motion Glory - There is something ridiculously oh, I don't know... awesome? about the crazy and obscure things this world has to offer. For example piranha. Piranha are, without a doubt awesome. When I was in high school I raised two red belly piranha from the sizes of quarters to the size of a CD 3 inches thick.
There is something delicious about these dark photographs of flowers. The deep dark contrasting colors help pop the details we don't normally see somehow. They are striking. Very striking. I'm diggin' on 'em anyway. Kudos to you Bettina.
Gah.
What Color Is It Now Hex Clock Brilliance - My favorite color is #6e7ca0. But I'm fairly partial to #7c878e as well. In the world of the web, hex values are how designers work colors.
Logo Design Challenge with Aaron Draplin - I've done my fair share of logo designs. And I have never enjoyed them. Website design I dig. Logos? Blech. And I think that is mainly because they are so stinking subjective.
Norways New Passport Designs are Beyond Awesome - These new Norwegian passports were designed by Neue Design Studio. Love the pastel covers. Bet it gets even better on the inside where we are greeted by fantastic abstract designs highlighting the country's gorgeous landscapes of the country. Right?
Eye Teleporter Kickstarter Awesomeness - This kickstarter is awesome. Its awesome mainly because it solves a problem for me. And I hear you saying, how could this random telescope craziness solve ANY problems, I mean really? So glad you asked.
Daily Paper Sculptures by Charles Young - This post is in defense of doing something every single day. And by everyday, I mean, literally, every single day. Don't stop. When you do something (anything) every day, you can quickly amass something truly impressive.
SIT A New Promising Artist To Follow - I follow a ton of artists. A few are heart stopping. Some are complex or politically riveting. But there's something about finding another amazing artist to add to the list. Do you have a list of artists you keep tabs on? I mean, not dead artists that you like. You know, current artists that you track and pay attention to.
Time Travel Short from TimTimFed - a funny, tongue in cheek time travel short that is worth every minute of the seven minutes it will cost you to watch it.
New Off the Hook Game Lumino City - Every now and again a new game comes out that is intriguing. And then there are the super rare exceptions when your jaw comes unhinged and then drops onto the floor because you are so blown away by a new concept. That is the case with the new game Lumino City
David Fullarton Wins The Art Game - Who is David Fullarton? Oh, no one really. Just one of my new favorite artists ever. Of all time. I mean! Look at this texture and portraits? Never mind the clever word play. Just fantastic stuff. If you'd like to purchase one of his pieces, at a ridiculously cheap price, you can do so right here.
