This work is both painterly and glitchy at the same time. When you make this kind of stuff you can’t do anything but let it come out and be aware and conscious the entire time. It is not something you can really plan.

A quote:

“I love having bruises that I can touch throughout the day to instigate memory. Sometimes the bruise is a broken lip; sometimes exhaustion; sometimes the way light falls on skin. Painting is touching the bruise.” – Joshua Bronaugh

These illustrations have a limited palette but still capture everything that a photo of the same subject matter and emotional tone would catch. They are nice little slices of life at home. Really great work.

These are like high brow children’s illustrations. The lighting in all of these is probably what attracts me the most. There’s this Tim Burton-y sense of form. Really great colors and just all around awesome.

This is the robot and donut infested world of Eric Joyner. Very cool creative stuff and also hilarious. It definitely twists up 1950s toys and graphics. And that ‘ol American style of illustration at the beginning of the 1900s. I am now a fan. See more at his portfolio: http://www.ericjoyner.com/

Astronaut The Captain, originally uploaded by vietnamthemovie.

very cool

Her work looks to have some influence of Alex Gray. But still she keeps it out of the realm of escapist mind-trip drivel that so many artists influenced by that guy end up doing.

But this work stands on it’s own, is saying something, and just bends things enough to let you know she understands the weirdness of this world. Also loooove the colors and composition. Well done.

Logorama from Marc Altshuler – Human Music on Vimeo.

From the creators:

This is a short film that was directed by the French animation collective H5, François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy + Ludovic Houplain. It was presented at the Cannes Film Festival 2009. It opened the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and won a 2010 academy award under the category of animated short.

In this film there are two pieces of licensed music, in the beginning and in the end. All the other music and sound design are original. The opening track (Dean Martin “Good Morning Life”) and closing track (The Ink Spots “I don’t want to send the world on fire”) songs are licensed pre-existing tracks. All original music and sound design is by, human (www.humanworldwide.com)

I think this is fabulous and amazing and I thought it was going to be commentary on the contant barrage of advertising in your face but it’s really just an awesome animated short with a great visual style.

Akira is just one of those films that I hope the new school of anime fans appreciates. By the time ghost in the shell came out they were already compositing 3d/cgi into the animation. Akira however, is completely (painstakingly) hand drawn. That means everything. Effects, perfect machine drawing, organics all hand drawn and animated. This feat will not be accomplished again. For good reason I suppose — it is cheaper and faster and doesn’t produce all that paper and celluloid waste to do it on the computer.

Anyway, go appreciate Akira at the Art of Akira Exhibit

People of Earth:

In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky. That said, I’ve been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an immediate decision.

Six years ago, I signed a contract with NBC to take over “The Tonight Show” in June of 2009. Like a lot of us, I grew up watching Johnny Carson every night and the chance to one day sit in that chair has meant everything to me. I worked long and hard to get that opportunity, passed up far more lucrative offers, and since 2004, I have spent literally hundreds of hours thinking of ways to extend the franchise long into the future. It was my mistaken belief that, like my predecessor, I would have the benefit of some time and, just as important, some degree of ratings support from the prime-time schedule. Building a lasting audience at 11:30 is impossible without both.

But sadly, we were never given that chance. After only seven months, with my “Tonight Show” in its infancy, NBC has decided to react to their terrible difficulties in prime time by making a change in their long-established late night schedule.

Last Thursday, NBC executives told me they intended to move the “Tonight Show” to 12:05 to accommodate the “Jay Leno Show” at 11:35. For 60 years, the “Tonight Show” has aired immediately following the late local news. I sincerely believe that delaying the “Tonight Show” into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The “Tonight Show” at 12:05 simply isn’t the “Tonight Show.” Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the “Late Night” show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot. That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy.

So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard, and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of “The Tonight Show.” But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet, a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the “Tonight Show,” I believe nothing could matter more.

There has been speculation about my going to another network but, to set the record straight, I currently have no other offer and honestly have no idea what happens next. My hope is that NBC and I can resolve this quickly so that my staff, crew, and I can do a show we can be proud of, for a company that values our work.

Have a great day and, for the record, I am truly sorry about my hair; it’s always been that way.

Yours,

Conan
