A Zorse of Course.


An image of a Zorse from a NYTimes article on Hybrids.  Looks like it should be a photoshop job, but it isn't.

It Does the Body Good


Crazy detailed art with by: Milk
I like the use of symbols and musical iconography, but they're just plain pretty too.

A Threatened Species


Between Navy SEALs, threats from the briny deep, and Swedish law suits, it's tough times for Pirates and sea-borne neer-do-wells of all types.

It's Hip To Click on Little Squares.

People could use a little more Dayglow, For Their Skin Tones

The whole site's falsh so know sample pictures do I have.

Sorry about the long absense i have no intrawebs at my apartment, and work was finally slow enough for a stretch to play around on.

I'm so far behind on Boing Boing and XKCD...

Meep!



I have a special place in my heart for Muppets, and this is pretty great, I like how the different beaker videos shot at different times, start reacting to each other, and invariably end with slight different versions of pretty much the same thing, the way things always end for Beaker.

Although my favorite is the two crotchety old men, I wanna be like them when I grow up.

Separation of Church and State, Was Never So Literal



This is about as surreal as it gets. An incredible video about the moving of a huge church on a huge truck, set to over the top choral music specifically written for the event. I'm honestly flabbergasted.

It's really strange, the truck is so small comparatively it looks like the church is moving on its own.

Water Is My Favorite


The Erosion Sink- Topographical awesomeness.

Taken from 16 Modern Sink and Wash Basin Designs, There's some awesome and pretty stuff and most of them are really green friendly, requiring less water to fill, or causing us to think about our water usage, Like the ones above and below.

I really like the basic concept for this one, there's no valves or faucets, you lift up the one rock to allow the water to flow and fill up the pool, and then when finished lift up the other rock to allow the water to drain, completely conscious of how much you use. All very zen, if perhaps a little impractical, especially if all you want is a glass of water.

Greener Space


Photos of an abandoned church with the surfaces covvered in living grass. I cannot find the original artist, but it reminds me of Misha's B.F.A. piece, although I think this kind of tops that a bit. The photos on the inside are particulary brilliant, a little haunting even.

Packing Some Art


These are portraits and oter works made entirely out of layers of packing tap illuminated from behind. The creations of Mark Khaisman.

It's a Delicate Mechanism


This is pretty incredible already, before you find out that the whole thing is made of paper. My mind boggles at the level or precision this would require.

My Shadow Is Very Fertile



Inner Forests from Michael Kontopoulos on Vimeo.

Who was blogged before: here

He's just put up more new work which is equally as awesome. Artists who can combine the technical with the visual like this always impress me, but he never fails to marry inherent concept seamlessly, so it becomes more than just a neat effect. This is sort of like his last work in reverse, whereas in the past he anthropomorphized simple machines, here he is removing the individual, turning one's person into landscapes.

There's also this one which is a bit more conceptual, but i like the simplified idea behind it: What You Missed

Animatronic Chicken Nuggets. Enough Said.


Wooster Collective has a fantastic Write up on Banksy's latest work, which is also his first ever New York Show entitled: The Village Pet Store And Charcoal Grill
Besides The Chicken Nuggets, the show includes such Animatronic wonders as, a bunny applying make-up, Hot dogs in Heat lamp equipped glass terrariums, A Leopard Print jacket hanging out in a tree like the real thing, Breaded Fish Sticks that swim about their fishbowl, and a CCTV camera nuturing it's young. Not only is this a complete departure from his regular work, which consisted mostly of stencil street Tags, and paintings, but it's just an amazing usage of Animatronic sculptures in general.
I'm not normally one to gush but I wish I could visit NYC before this gets taken down after Holloween, I love everything about this.

My Brother showed me this:



This is Self-Portrait #2 by PES

EATPES is an amazing site, filled with a multitude of awesome videos, they're all quicktime format, so I can't embed them, but there are too many good ones to choose from, even the Commercial work they did is incredible.

It's pretty much all stop motion work, usually with just odds and ends like the Self-Portrait up there, but occasionally using people too. The Loading times can be a little slow for Internet Explorer, but it's totally worth it.

My favorites are KaBoom!, Western Spaghetti, and Human Skateboard.
