Interview with Dan Marker-Moore The Time Slice Maven

I want to time travel. This is a known fact. But in case you thought I was lacking proof, I give you this, and this, some of this, and this. Need more? But this? I actually thing these photos from Dan Marker-Moore are more time travel street cred than all the previous links combined. You wanna know why? I'm idiot, of course you want to know why, I mean, that was possibly the greatest build up to an intro ever.

Sundays The Next Feature Length Sensation

"The past, is written in books... the books that survive. This is the truth that has made us Kings. We trust that our memories are real. That our pictures speak a thousand words. And what they say will be the truth. We trust that when people say they love us, they mean it. Not just in their heads, but in their hearts."

An Interview With Sculptor Ellen Jewett

The representational elements, the animals, plants and objects, manifest in the same fashion. I start to make a horse only to discover it wants to be a goat, and its legs become a sea shell. I find it easy to tap into imaginative flow states and the imagery finds itself.

Short Film Friday Protype Movie Gear

Holy crap - there are some really amazing movie developers hiding under rocks and in desperate need of attention! This little movie is so rich with back story and latent ideas that I don't even know where to start. This movie was obviously pulled together by some really fantastic special effects mavens.

Robin Hood iPhone App Game Changer

So what's the upshot? The upshot is that I have pulled all the nickles and dimes out of the couch that I could find in order to get the app funded with a reasonable starting position. The money is routing now and I expect to be trading in the next day or two. I'm sure I'll be complaining about my losses soon enough!

Michael Beitz Captivating Sculpture Tables

These photos of this table would make for an amazing drawing or a fantastic painting. Add the Mad Hatter at one end and Alice at the other and wow, have you really got something here. But to realize that this is a physical table, that actually exists, in reality, somewhere... is just amazing to behold.

Robert Wechsler and His Interesting Coin Lattices

Do we under value the wealth we have been given? Are we too assumptive of the coins, the money, the amassed treasures we worship? Do I place anything higher than my own love for my God? My pleasure. My comfort? Is there anything that I wouldn't give up at the end of the day if push came to shove?

Dark Echo iOS Game Review

It is just phenomenal what kind of fear can be created simply by a black screen, and out of this world sound design. The mood of the game goes from, huh, I wonder where the door is. To, um, what was that? Very quickly and it only ramps up from there. And then the next thing you know you are blindly running into the darkness to get away.

New Out Of This World Treehouses

I know a bit about building a treehouse. After working with my father-in-law to build an over 200 square foot double decker beauty I could say that I probably deserve to be certified by treehouse school of design even. But these newDom’Up "treehouses" from architect Nicolas d'Ursel are in a class beyond anything I would even consider attempting myself.

Beautiful Romeo and Juliet Infographic of Connections

I guess it mainly depends on whether you dig Shakespeare. I personally adore Shakespeare. The poetry, the insults, the tragedies, the comedies, the conspiracy theories, all of it. Can you find a single more important literary figure that has influenced more of how we write, think, dream, than Shakespeare? I dare you to even try.

Parallax is Now Live And On Sale

I think that game development is so much more accessible now than it used to be. This presents a lot more opportunities for developers, but that is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. Because anybody can make a game, there is a lot more competition, and thus it is a lot harder to get noticed.

An Interview With Painter Genius Adam Vinson

Thank you. I really appreciate you saying that because most of my “backgounds” are conceptions. It’s my way of taking a break from the regimen of tight painting. Many of those backgrounds are applied with palette knife, scraped and reapplied. Usually a few layers deep. I work off instinct and my mind rather than what is in front of me.

Artist 1010 Bores Enormous Holes In Walls

German street artist 1010, over the last year or so, has been creating some really uber spray paint windows into alternate universes. These large holes are bored into locations as far flung as Germany, Panama, and the United States. 1010 artistic style is simple, and yet it brings a pretty amazing effect once complete.
