Laundry Day

This is a student animation project made by Guillaume Chartier from Sheridan College. The synopsis is that a guy's girlfriend finds something incriminating in his pants pocket while doing his laundry...and the genuinely unexpected plot twist that ensues.



I honestly can't stop laughing.

irrational fear of scary japanese school girls

i found this while clicking around; i thought the title was funny. they are all cg images of macabre japanese school girls -- totally disturbing. this is probably NSFW, haha, but whatev. i figured it's worth sharing.

suburban kids with biblical names

these nerds are on repeat.
they sound like magnetic fields + jens lekman. it's music i would i like to write.



there is something fascinating about those subtly subtle pans. i like.
it's also worth it to listen to these:
loop duplicate my heart (uber nerd song)
trees and squirrels
seems to be on my mind

(time to eat taro ice cream!)

beangrowers - not in a million lovers

this video is kinda like the dude that took a picture of himself for like.. 20 years or whatever and buck's want2bsquare piece. but i think it uses the technique in a really smart way to get the song's point across. it lies in their design decision to simulate real photos from different times and places.. and men. i especially like the lip syncing.

What does this have to do with airliners?

A friend shared some United Airlines commercials with me today that I thought I'd share with you guys. I'm sure you've seen some if not all of them by now, but I thought it would be nice to have a couple of them collected in one spot. They don't necessarily say anything about their company so much as the experience of traveling or the enjoyment of flying. Still cool stuff.

I'm sure I missed some, but a quick search online will bring 'em up.

Life as told by LEGOs

Wired has a gallery on Mike Stimpson, a programmer who recreates historic photos using LEGOs, then takes photos of them. While the recreations are pretty neat, it's sometimes eerie seeing those plastic smiley faces looking so happy during what originally were times of crisis.

a life of paper

i am convinced that i've been drawing for almost my whole life.

i threw out a lot about 4 years ago and i threw out a lot this past week, so this isn't everything. i drew so much, it's almost obvious that i should've been an artist at an early age. to think i was pursuing genetic engineering.

how and when did you know that you wanted to be an artist? animator? designer? whatever it is that you do?

What? How?!

Amazingness. Check out this guys youtube page. He's got some other fun papercrafts.

BLIP FESTIVAL: REFORMAT THE PLANET trailer from 2 Player Productions on Vimeo.



i saw this documentary on pitchfork.tv today. its there for a week. these are the most adorable dorks in the world. dancing around to lots and lots of bleeps and bloops. everything has a scene now. you can officially be "so scene" by playing gameboy on a stage and dropping a backbeat to it.
this is infectious stuff, and i think a bunch of you will, and probably already do, enjoy
'chiptunes'.

The Big Picture

Some of you may know this site since many of you are coming out of Boston. But if not...pull your heads out of the sand children, for it is time to see the world through Boston.com's photographic collections of Worldly happenings!! I love this site because they cover so many events around the world with some amazing high quality images. Topics include, The King of Tonga, the Conflict in Georgia, a Royal Funeral in Bali, and previously uncontacted Brazilian Tribes! Check it out to get your daily dose of Worldliness!! A warning though. Some of these images can be a little grim, and even a bit depressing. I just enjoy them, because it adds so much to the bigger story. Often times when I read the news, I get a small image, or no image at all with the article.

Now unfortunately, they only archive a few months back. That or its new. If it is not new, than these links may be dead after a few months. Even still, new content will surely be added. So enjoy them now when you can! Here are some of my favorites.
