Doodle from the Heart

I have been working on an "eye spy" sort of design for Threadless recently and I am approaching it from a new perspective. Normally I would conceptualize an idea, sketch, and finalize in Illustrator. This time I am "stream of consciousness" doodling in hopes that the final piece will be inherently me. I don't see this as lowering the quality as much as just giving the piece a more raw feel. Although the work is still in progress I thought it would be nice to show some samples.

Fleitz Pumpkin Farm

It isn't Fall until you go to MacQueen's apple orchard and Fleitz pumpkin farm.

Subway - Campaign Montage

This is a brilliantly executed piece from Curtis Baigent. His style is new and refreshing and I particularly love the section on chopstick use. The way Curtis blends 2D and 3D animation is seamless.

Into the Future

I don't know about any of you but when I was a kid I used to love these cartoons from Tex Avery about what the world will be like in the future.  I think it may be some inspiration for some upcoming work.  If you are an old fan like me get ready to have your nostalgia gland kicked in the balls, and if you haven't seen them I suggest you check them out because they are still great.

 

 

 

The Adventures of Tintin

This video by James Curran is sick...and in a good way. The smooth transitions and the ability to focus on one shape for the entire piece makes this a true masterpiece of animation.

Nike Fresh Air

It's truly interesting to see how an art style is incorporated into a larger piece in this video for Nike Fresh Air by Doubleday & Cartwright.

I Need Nothing - a nearly useless odyssey

Cãoceito is a small label started by three friends who met each other in Fine Arts school where they were studying towards a degree in Communication Design. This recent video they created is a real joy to watch and I think has a really unique little message to it about the relationship of visual and audio.

Battlesnake - The Cheshire Cat

Battlesnake is a 3 piece Free-Rock trio from Melbourne. The Cheshire Cat is an improvised song recorded in a house on Phillip Island one weekend in October. I really dig this video they shot. I am assuming they used a HD GoPro.

The Little People Project

So Slinkachu...Yes that is his/her name...has been creating some amazing photographic work.  It is particularly inspiring to me because I have been trying to do something like this for a while and failing. So, for your viewing pleasure: The Little People Project.

Fox Retro

A recent ad for FOX Italy takes 8-bit animation to a new level. Very fluid movements, squash and stretch, and even some 3D. Created by PUNGA, check out their site here.
