RED

"Red" directed by Jorge Jaramillo and Carlo Guillot. Music by Manuel Borda. Dark, stylized, simple take on the classic fairy tale. Love the way they tied it together.

I can't help myself; I have to post another animated short I found!

JOSH RITTER - LOVE IS MAKING ITS WAY BACK HOME

Found this lovely little stop motion music video via colossal blog.

Directed by Erez Horovitz. "A team of nearly twenty artists, editors, directors and product assistants ushered the video into being. The group started with storyboarding and computer animation before converting the digital graphics to paper cutouts (frame by frame), photographing those 12,000 cutouts and then stitching them together into four minutes of paper animation." from colossal.

learn more about the making of here!

be sure to watch the whole thing! it starts out slower, but the end is superb :)

Stumbled upon these photographs from Bechet Benjamin showing the daily life of superheroes and childhood icons. No surprise, Snow White is the prostitute.

WAKEY WAKEY MUG

MAC PREMO

I would just like to start off by saying I could make this post a gazillion times longer than what you see here. The man by the name of Mac Premo has wow'd my senses with his erratic sense of humor and inventive art pieces covering all things from video to wall. Behold his many facets of energy below...

BUT FIRST! (here I go with my protracting ramble) Premo did a little art installation called "The Dumpster Project" wherein he basically came to a realization of owning too many things and had to give them one last look at the collective world before taking a dive.

I encourage you to check out his website, cause it's SWEETly laid out.

I encourage you to watch this little video clip at the bottom about "Dumpster Project."

I encourage you to keep all the things in your life that make you happy. (It's not pack-ratting if you >know< it will come in handy someday ;)

MAKING MOUNTAINS OUT OF MOLEHILLS

Some people use books to take them to far-off places. Guy Laramee and Brian Dettmer skip the letters and build their own fantastical lands. Check out these amazing carvings by both men whose styles differ greatly, but makes the process of 'carving a book' that much more inspiring.
