I like the idea – and more specifically, I like the analogue nature of it. Take a bunch of snaps, have them printed and stick them onto various physical objects, then photograph it all again. You could’ve just done that on the computer, but to be honest, all the purely digital art does tend to get a little fucking boring sometimes.

Ever since Zbrush came onto the 3d modelling scene, it’s given rise to a whole new style of characters. Great, stylized, edgy characters that people just didn’t seem to do previously. It’s really great – and a great example of how a tool affects your art, based on the possibilities and limitations inherent in the tool.

Here’s a render:

give me this over modern art any day… just. do it. I love those curves, the way parallel snake lines curve across her abdomen, into her belly button, and upwards. And how does that slender waist come in so much? There’s something not quite picture-perfect about that, but that’s what I really like as well.

How was that ancient Japanese saying again? “For every temple built, you must leave one room unfinished, for only Gods are perfect”.

I found this on Tetris.

Pretty cool idea: record the sound of a glacier, then press it onto records made of ice – then play those records until they melt! I wonder if there is a message in there somewhere…

Wow.. didn’t see that one coming I have to admire the effort that’s obviously gone into making this.. a lot of those cut-outs are very detailed indeed.. and some of the ones that aren’t very detailed are never the less still hard to make, because there are so many of them (those scaffolded buildings near the end?).

Very, very cool stuff!

Amazing what you can do with some nice lighting, a couple of costumes and some fit ladies.
