Designer and illustrator Katrin Olina draws viewers into her romanticized world of nature. Her work is crisp, beautiful, and whimsical. Check out the interior art she designed for the Cristal Bar in Hong Kong. Incredible!

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009 
Here’s something on my Christmas list. It’s the Lamborghini Ankonian. Why oh why are the coolest cars just concept cars? Well, to answer my own question, because they’d be too expensive for me to buy. Sure you can pump out one or two for the crime fighting billionaires out there, but until we have a caped crusader, there just isn’t the demand. Rev your engines and view the full gallery.
Hu’s “Lucky” shows who’s unlucky
Monday, December 14th, 2009
Motion designer Eb Hu is gaining increasing momentum with his works such as the haunting animation Lucky. I found this piece while viewing his work for George Michael’s Christmas Song. Hu creates atmosphere in his animations that only the best of animators can attain. It’s not about pushing pixels, it’s about pulling viewers in to the story.
Mylar worthy

Illustrator Joshua Middleton’s use of color, lighting, and figure provide his depictions of comic book icons with a sense of intimate realism. When viewing his artwork, we see the characters as though through the lens of a real world camera. To put it plainly, his characters seem unaware of being viewed, and this lends a humanness I’ve not seen in other works. Add to that his use of lighting, which further draws out the characters and environments from the page, and you have an amazing collection of artwork. Just incredible.
Well done, sir, now post more stuff in your store!
I, for one, welcome our giant robot overlords (for less than $500)
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009 
Fede Alvarez of the Aparato Post scores a seven-figure deal through an incredible giant robot invasion video produced for less than $500. Watching the video, it’s hard to believe the price tag (I suspect work hours are not in the accounting), but it’s still remarkable nonetheless. View the video here and then, read the story on Variety.
Hey You Guys! Charity Event
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009The 2nd Annual Hey You Guys! Charity Event is set to start on December 5, 2009 with incredible pieces of artwork in an online auction. The auction benefits DonorsChoose.org, which gives public school teachers a forum to post classroom project requests for online donors to support. Here are the ones I love. Sadly, I know I probably won’t win these, but on the brighter side, it means more fun learning time for kids in their classrooms. The silent auction is now on until December 13, 2009, so bid away!
