It’s a Wednesday morning, needed some inspiration.
Hungry? Me too.
I have no idea what is going on here, very curious, a little bit amusing.
Typography puns.
Now thats using your creative license!
Amazing photos taking during a sand storm in Sydney.
Always need a bit of stormtrooper action in these blogs, keeps me going.
Brilliant piece of information graphics, informative, witty, stylish.
I got into this from technical drawing classes at senior school, always wanted to be able to produce this sort of detail and accuracy, still want to even.
Amazing … and incredibly fragile looking.
Been so long again …
Been a fan of skateboarding for years, but I’ve not been impressed with how the sport has progressed, but how its portrail has too. I have found a lot of qualities that exist in skateboarders, the creativity, the expression, the style, the escapism perhaps, exist in artists too, a good example of this is the series of books entitled “From Concrete to Canvas” featuring art by skateboarders.
Simple, old school, like it.
Similar in those respects.
Capturing nature in its most stunning, breathtaking positions is most definitely a talent.
The amount of imagination it must require to conceive this sort of incredible vision is beyond me, quite frankly.
I remember this sort of thing making me want to go to art college in the first place, there was quite a lot of this in the sketchbook i brought along to my second interview.
That’ll do for today.
And I found this …
Many of us have debated the actors we would cast in out hypothetical films.
There are few that would probably always find themselves on mine.
One of those.
Bruce Campbell.
One leads onto another …
Came across a picture of Heath Ledger as the Joker and got me thinking, so unique … not only just as a Batman bad guy but so adaptable as a character his portrayal in comics and films alike prove this. A loose mind is always intriguing when done well. Here are some more pictures that caught my eye, the second from last is the one that started it all.
It’s been so long …
My apologies, to anyone who cares, for not updating this in nearly 2 months. After handing in my last pieces of college work I sort of ignored anything vaguely college related for a bit, to kind of clear my head/forget about some of it completely 
Anyway I was stumbling through my portable hard drive a second ago and found a folder of images, much like the ones that started this blog and have since been the bulk of its content, stuff I like or that I find inspiring. Instead these had been saved in a folder so were clearly from before this all began; and henceforth I was compelled to share them all with you. (Bear in mind it’s been a long long time since I saved these in the first place so i do not know who they are buy, all I can give you is the knowledge that they most likely all came from ffffound.com).
Enjoy.
The debate on whether human beings are innately good or evil has often caught my attention. Maybe we are both?
Amazing concept in WWF ad, childhood characters like Tarzan and Mogli won’t survive deforestation.
I must have found this in between the 2 transformer films, pretty epic still. I’ve seen both, and enjoyed both, but I gather not everyone did, any thoughts?
Massive statement, not horrifically shocking or gory like a lot of these appeals can. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that some people are only moved into action under extremes, but its nice to see an approach that is, dare I say it, more tasteful? In the sense that I wouldn’t mind exposing my 10 year old sister to this and explaining to her why this is cleverly made and what it is appealing to us about because I wouldn’t expect her to be scarred for life afterwards.
Just interesting to look at, makes you think about the scale we imagine ourselves, or our cities, or our countries even, in comparison to the rest of the world and to our peers.
This image screams in support of the instincts of human nature, that “Get there no matter what the cost”, that “No mountain to high or ocean to wide”, that “Sod it, I’m gonna turn my table into a boat and go see whats on that island”.
The way this image is taken, perhaps in the way it has been cropped, I’m not sure which that just amplifies the message being displayed here, the style of the building and the materials its constructed with place this into recent history where the KKK, all though still operating privately, are sort of used as an example of what we have left behind and how that level of racism (i.e. in your face, in our laws, in our governments) has hopefully been stopped as society has progressed when in actual fact it hasn’t. The white walls imply the the building could well have been an office or government building as opposed to a house or a shop., the smashed or boarded walls give the impression that this battle is being fought now rather back in the 50′s and 60′s when we tried to put this sort thing to rest the first time, even then it was well over due. And for this I have only just thought that the hanging KKK figure being applied to this wall rather than a flag or sign (which would signal as a statement of intent or belief) implies that this building was the source or an outlet of the racism and the artwork is applied as a symbol of victory.
The photo captures the ‘curiosity over fear’ that we learn as children.
A bit ‘emo’ but the statement is one of hope before ‘teen anguish’ and I hope people can still get that before a lopsided fringe and tight black jeans.
Just an amazing and clever photograph of an awesome tattoo.
Another amazing photo, really can’t stop investigating the details very easily, really draws you in.
Just a nice variation of a logo you see so much of, sometimes the most creative people are lost in a world of this but occasionally you see them stick their heads out again, and then we get something like this.
I’m a big fan of the Batman and his reinterpretations, so dark, so often misunderstood, and still so tragically misused by authors and writers. Still this is come cover art that features a 1950′s Batman. Dark. Painful.
Fun illustration, everyone likes ice cream, and I like this style.
Excellent statement in the sense of creativity, the graffiti in the image of the UFO, the imagination of kids, and the patience when it serves their purpose, I’m inclined to think that this young lad hasn’t just stumbled across at the right time. Also the illustration is beautiful the subject is sat on this mesh of lines and concrete, the setting is vague yet recognisable, and the subject of light and shadow has been handled expertly.
Thats all for today but hopefully the next installment will not be so far away as this one from the one before.
Sorry its been so long …
Been a busy few weeks, updating my website while helping organise our degree show has slowed things down. On a plus the website is live although the portfolio section needs some new photos so that is disabled currently.
We have picked the concept for our degree show last week, and although my group concept wasn’t chosen it should still be good so please check it out if you can.
Please check the website for this out, if nothing else it is a great idea of my friend Joe’s ability, this will be live on Tuesday the 2nd of June.
In other news here is a pic I made.
See you all soon
Log out
If you ever need reassurance that you MUST log off your computer when leaving it unattended, particularly in a student house, then here is some.
And to think you just won RSA Joe, think how many people, judges etc, might be trying to find you on facebook right now
Venn Diagram
Started out as a list after I noticed a correlation between blood pressure, body temp, heart rate and my other indicators. From there I sketched out and glued together a cheeky little venn diagram and then made a nicer version a la computer.
