if you haven’t actually seen an ocean liner, this is just about as good as being there. kevin hulsey is a technical illustrator and what we in ‘the biz’ refer to as “a pimp.” check out his How To for this german cruise ship which took 9 hours to export from illustrator. the level of detail here is unfathomable…i mean – his carpet samples!
don’t read this story if you’re squeamish.
you can buy panties with this and other anti-bush slogans at axis of eve, the internet home of the activist group of the same name. you can read a story about them here.
i think i may have mentioned this film before, but i really want to see casshern. it looks like one of the most beautiful films ever made (not that my stitched together and badly artifacted image really shows that)…and it’s only out in japan.
plus no one seems to know if there are plans for wide release in the us. from the synopses and stills this looks like a film that would do very well in the us, as long as the translation is decent.
i would love to see this while i’m in japan this week, but…i don’t know japanese. and, apparently there are some rather nuanced background sounds, building murals and whatnot that would be hard to get the full meaning of if you don’t know japanese and/or chinese.
the best pranks are the ones that don’t over look the details. fun with foil
this is on my list of things that i totally don’t need but want anyway for no good reason other than it looks cool. not functional, mind you – looks cool. imedia tv Pixel Film
just what i’ve always wanted! dirty origami! origami underground has instructions to make models of little paper people having sex, masturbating or…you get the idea.
holy. crap.
this guy has created a collage of hundreds of pixel-sized divs and uses alternate style sheets to alter the resulting ‘image.’
there are some really great sites on the web – i’m always so impressed by what people can create. mixin visuals has a bunch of links to some of these sites. so far i’ve looked at bitkraft and probe3. both are amazing. i can only hope to one day create something so engaging. 🙂
update:
also, pardon this weirdo formatting, i will fix my style sheet once i get back on my own computer. i know i know – i’m hiding my head in shame
