From Rhett&Link comes the T-shirt War. They’re also selling all the t-shirts used in their store.
Designing with the Force
Graphic designer and illustrator Justin Van Genderen’s Star Wars posters have been making the rounds lately and they are certainly Agogo worthy. Be sure to check out his Tatooine and Bespin posters too!
Influencing this post is the fact that the wife and I attended a prom last night as chaperones and got our prom photo taken — Star Wars style! (No Storm Troopers were hurt in the taking of the photo.)
Colleagues who pwn colleagues
Daniel Clarke, submitted “Just too things i did after work for fun:)” to one of my favorite blogs: Gorilla Artfare. If I may parse this nine word sentence… Although he doesn’t claim so, his casual mention of these fun projects makes these pieces all the more impressive. It’s as though they were doodles on the back of a receipt. His misspelling of “two” — well, that’s just to mock me. I am the Hulk to his Spiderman and the Ironman to his Captain America. I look forward to more from this talented artist!
Finger gear
For a time, gadgets were marketed as having “No moving parts.” Well I for one, like moving parts. That is, when they work and look as slick as the Kinekt Gear Ring. Granted, the ring is made to do nothing but look fabulous. Still, the simple fact is I need one. Grab one before the Steampunks do.
A reading rainbow
In memory of J.D. Salinger, I’m featuring an illustration of the reclusive author among a few others (below). The works are from the great blog Hey Oscar Wilde! It’s Clobberin’ Time!!!, which features artists interpreting their favorite literary characters and authors.
My bookshelf is crying today.
“An artist’s only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else’s.” — J.D. Salinger
Rethink Scholarship promo
What a fitting video promoting the Rethink Scholarship!
“The Rethink Scholarship is an $18,000 scholarship for aspiring art directors and designers to Langara College’s Communication and Ideation Design program. The winner will also receive a 3-month internship with Rethink.”
Data is our prison
The Visionaire Group’s work for the ELSE Mobile promotional campaign is motion graphic goodness.
Stranded on the toilet? Make a diorama
Artist Anastassia Elias builds miniature dioramae inside of toilet-paper tubes (via BoingBoing via Neatorama).
Three color movie poster redesigns
Illustrator and designer Chris Thornley has good taste in movies and a lot of pent up creative energy. At least it looks that way according to this great Flickr set of black, red, and off-white cult favorite movie posters. Makes me want to take out the old VHS.
As if dolls weren’t creepy enough
Pixar animator Rodrigo Blaas made his directorial debut with his own project, Alma. Be sure to view in full screen to witness Blaas’ beautiful direction and eerie doll designs. (What’s with all the scary dolls these days?)
