If you don’t know about this band… you should! They are four guys from Brooklyn and have been around since 2004. Their most recient album Veckatimest was a great success. If you have time look on youtube at their music videos. They have the most creative and unique videos I have seen in awhile.

This is Where We Live by Apt Studio

Using more than 1000 books and three weeks of filming in stop-motion, the producers Apt Studio and working with Asylum Films made this beautiful film to commemorate the 25th anniversary of imprint 4th Estate. The film contains numerous in-jokes and references to the books it features, and everything, from the ships in port to the cinema in Soho to the man fishing in Central Park is made out of books, covers, pages and words. In the campaign’s website you can check photos of the making of.

His photographs are very beautiful and very provocative (sometimes pornographic) but always extraordinary.

Away We Go is about a couple who found out they are expecting their first child, so they decide to travel around the US in order to find the perfect place to start their new family. The movie looks so charming. It seems to have the right amount of drama and comedy that equal out to be a very real story.

Making this movie more appealing is Sam Mendes (Kate Winslet’s husband), who is known for directing Revolutionary Road, Road to Perdition, and American Beauty.

Here is Paul Rudd (swoon), Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, and Jonah Hill spoofing the Vanity Fair photograph of Tom Ford, Keira Knightley, and Scarlett Johansson.

This is a great website to look at graphic design work that some talented artists have done. This is something that I would really like to learn how to do for recreational purposes. Does anyone know a good book or website I could learn?
