Aaron Maurer’s Phantasmic Collages
LOVE LOVE LOVE these mixed media collages from Brooklyn artist/designer Aaron Maurer. His combination of collaged figures on surreal, painted dreamscapes is incredibly imaginative. I want these all over my apartment. I wish I had found his work earlier, as I missed his recent show in Williamsburg. He also has an impressive collection of digital [...]
Awesomely Trippy Music Video: Kasper Bjørke – “Young Again”
Why is it that Scandinavians get to be cooler than everyone else? Case in point: Danish producer Kasper Bjørke’s new video, “Young Again,” the first single from his album “Standing on Top of Utopia,” due out in February ‘10. The video looks like he ripped open a bottle of acid and somehow ended up in [...]
Justin Maller’s Photo Illustration: WOW
Not much to say about Justin Maller’s work except, “Wow.” Incredibly fierce, dynamic and inspiring work. He has a very impressive portfolio.
Music Video: Pogo – “Scrumdiddlyumptious”
Also from Australia, Pogo is a sampling genius and I’ve been hooked on his work ever since I heard his track, “Alice.” He creates amazing music by sampling famous films like ‘Hook’, ‘Harry Potter’, ‘Marry Poppins’, ‘Alice in Wonderland’, etc. His accompanying videos are cut from the films and are also quite impressive. This is [...]
Joshua Kirsch: Interactive Light Sculpture
Concentricity 96 from Joshua Kirsch on Vimeo.
I like to play around with light sculpture, and have done a few light projects recently (including my Halloween costume), so Joshua Kirsch’s work is a huge inspiration. ‘Concentricity 96′ is an amazing piece that allows the user to interact and control the flow and direction of light. It’s [...]
Legalize! Hypothetical Pot Packaging
This is nothing short of awesome. Print Magazine asked design studio Heads of State to create hypothetical packaging for marijuana, were it to be made legal in New York.
Emmanuel Polanco: Romanticism, Mélangé
Love love love the work of French designer/illustrator Emmanuel Polanco. Reminds me a little of Eduardo Recife in his amazing ability to combine eclectic source material and create new meaning. His set of Tarot cards is incredible. His portfolio is apparently located here, but seems to be offline. Le sigh… Luckily, he’s got some iPhone [...]
Music Video: Florence and the Machine vs. The xx
Most remixes don’t get their own music videos, but luckily for us this one is an exception. I’ve had The xx and Florence and the Machine on repeat all fall, and together they are pure magic. Watch it, love it, download it.
Stunning Graphic Gems from Pascal Tremblay
I have a serious design crush on Montreal-based Pascal Tremblay. I don’t know what to say about his work other than that it is stunning and I’m extremely jealous of his talent. He has an impressive portfolio of artwork, apparel, print, and even web design. His website will definitely inspire you, and if you’re like [...]
AMAZING Stop Motion Music Video: All India Radio – “Lucky”
This video is sofa king awesome! I’m a huge fan of light painting, and this takes the technique way beyond anything I’ve ever seen. Australian animation company ‘Dee Pee Studios‘ made the video by light painting with glow sticks frame by frame. Unbelievable.
