Camille Rose Garcia‘s work is quite fascinating. It is reminiscent of Gary Baseman and Travis Lampe, but with more energetic use of color and texture. Garcia has a webstore with a few giclee prints available for purchase, and many more items aparently ‘coming soon’. Keep an eye out.

Check out this fantastic clothing line Lead & Light. Their black and white designs are gritty and engaging and everything is hand screened by artist Sam Kaufman. Buy something at the Lead & Light Store.

This great animated short in support of Bill Maher’s newest book “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody but Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass” is so great because of the animation. The tight, clean, and snappy graphics really enhance the comedic and political material and make for a very effective message.

The video is animated by Fraser Davidson and you can see more of his animations on his youtube page.

This is just unreal animation. BUCK created this commercial for Good Books, a book store where all profits go to charity. The animation and script is themed around Hunter S. Thompson and flows exquisitely from one melting image to the next. You’ve got to watch this a couple times to really soak it all in. Video and screenshots below.

I’ve been enjoying this Daniel Danger paper lantern in my home for some time now. It is a nice large 16″ lantern for only $12, with an optional (necessary if you don’t have one) light kit for another $6.95. Shipping is only $5 and these lanterns come packed very well from the Chicago toy store / gallery Rotofugi. I highly recommend this or any of their other unique products.

Street Artist Max Zorn uses packing tape to create a fantastic portrait by layering tape and removing shapes with an x-acto knife. This reverse stencil technique is fun to watch in this sped-up process video. Check it out below! (more…)

A little doom and gloom to start the week! There’s No Tomorrow is a 35 minute-long short animated film about peak oil, overpopulation, conservation, and various energy technologies.

But it’s animated in a fun and delightful way. Video Below.
