More Worries

Man, first there are clients, profits, and space. Then accounting, taxes, and employees, just to start. After all that, and more, you have to throw in one more thing to worry about? Ants??!!! I have to watch out for ANTS?

Incredible Animation

What more can you say? Incredible stop-motion animation. Sure you could have don CGI, but this is way better and much more impressive.

The Brand Agency, Perth, Australia

Art Project

William Lamsom's work: A balloon, a security camera, a little static-electric-science and viola, art.

Aardman does Hersheys

The beloved animator does some great work, even when it is advertising.

You suck at photoshop

His name is Donny, You suck at photoshop, he doesn't. Watch. Be entertained. Learn Something. Enjoy the deadpan. Find him at MyDamnChannel.

Obama

There is a bit of hope running around the land. Having only lived through the 80s, 90s and 00s (70s don't count, I was too young) I can't remember a candidate or a general political stand that inspired so many artists to do something or make their voice heard. Not sure if it is our times or the people in them, but it does instill hope.

Nice Idea

Nice message and nice art for a client that would be tough. JWT Sydney, Australia.

Yes, this is what I do. Sorry.

Yep. More.

Introduction: Lee Reedy Fine Art

Hey, you already knew Lee Reedy is a staple in the Design/Advertising Community. What you may not know is he has a much more traditional art side. Don't believe us, thats your choice, but I'd still head on over to www.leereedyfineart.com and see what some of us do in our spare time. You may even discover some of us have spare time.

BBC Olympic Promos

From Gorillaz creators, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, comes this fun spot for the Olympics. The story comes from the legend of the Monkey King, in case you missed it,

Pixar's Next

Kinda feel that as well as Pixar tells stories, they belong here. So, here they are. Not sure what the story is, but they always deliver the goods. Besides, it gives me something else to look forward to.

Motivation

Looking for something to put on your walls, something motivational? A reminder of good work that is good work? Look no further than here.

Head and Shoulders

Nice stories, clean look (not bad for shampoo), and a clever way to deliver message. All without a single shot of hair, congrats.

Bad Photoshop, the blog

Great Blog here, Photoshop Disasters. It is a walkthrough of what not to do when trying to create that perfect lie. My favorite would have to be the overpopulation of celebrities with big heads. Just because you can doesn't mean you know how.

Good Type

Good Type is a lost art. You rarely see any new work that is all type. Clients just want pictures. I had nearly lost hope, but now Craig Ward has restored my faith. Look out, new work ahead, inspiration and a bit of needing-to-fill-my-little-available-time with type. More inspiration, and type, on his site.

Tera Era

Hitachi has found a way to get terabytes on hard drives. They celebrate it by this craptastic video that explains you can put a lot on them. Thought this would be informative, you know, the character looked like a Bill from School House Rock, so I thought they would use the medium to explain how they did it. Nope. Let's just say there is a lot of creepy here.
