I don’t know why, but these pieces somehow captivate and intrigue me. I get a ‘Gotham City‘ feeling from it due to the stark contrast and the slightly angled ‘buildings’.
With a name like Truckasaurus an artist cannot do anything wrong. Especially if they blend electro, with 8-bit bleep and more. Check out the whole album after the click.
Two years ago I wrote a post about Paul Robertson’s Pirate Baby’s Cabana Street Fight 2006 (check it out on Google Video ), which I really enjoyed. Today I found out that Robertson just released his new film called: Kings of Power 4 Billion % (download it using bittorrent ). Once again its full of cute looking anime characters in settings full of violence and gore. It has the looks of a game, but it’s an animation.
I wonder why nobody has contacted Robertson to transform his work from a static masterpiece into an interactive masterpiece.I would definitely want to play it!
I like chiptunes . Probably due to spending most of my youth in front of an Amiga playing games and creating / listening to MOD music. I occasionally work a bit on some tunes, but not as much as I would like to. Anyway, today I stumbled upon this clip and I really like the aesthetics of the both the visual as well as the auditive design. To my European eyes and ears it ‘feels’ very Japan-like. I don’t know how to describe it, but the Japanese design and music culture somehow seems instantaneously recognizable. At the end of the clip it reminds me a bit of the Residents due to the use of the eyeballs. The song reminds me a lot of “Don’t you worry about a thing” by Stevie Wonder. Intriguing. Compare both and hear for yourself!
Kokiriko Bushi – Omodaka
Stevie Wonder & Omar – Don’t you wonder about a thing
I just got two spam messages both containing the same message. That’s not unusual, but the message of the emails was. I got curious and took a closer look… (more…)
WWF Canada created a billboard for the campaign ‘Save our Climate‘ (silly Flash site alert!) which uses a really neat and clever way to convey their message about global warming. Most interesting from a tech/geek perspective is the low-tech angle in creating this. They seem to use only the sun and some board cut with an interesting pattern casting a shadow similar to a waves pattern. During the day the shadow resembles a rising tide ‘drowning’ the message. Brilliant idea!
Just came across this website and it’s slogan is hilarious and sad at the same time:
A sign of the times?
I just hope he didn’t had to do this because some ignorant people would assume a not-so Western sounding Middle Eastern name equals terrorist….that would be truly sad
