Lori Earley’s Smooth Figurative Art

The Editor — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 19:44:03 +0000

Lori Earley has some fantastically good portrait work. Her style distorts reality with large, soul revealing eyes and elongated limbs but her images are brought to life with a smooth, hyper-realist finish.

Bicycle Parkour Video

There’s some wicked airs and spins in this video, shot in Edinburgh. I never thought a bike could clear such heights and obstacles, but more for the creative I guess.

Redivivus Ray Guns, created by lifelong inventor Dan of San Diego are a superb collection of steam punk, retro styling. They’re assembled from found objects. If only I could make similar use for my rubbish!

Robot Footballers - extreme football, action and science fiction idents

The Editor — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 19:15:23 +0000

Ok, this has been around the block as well as sitting on my list for ages, but still no less impressive. TV network Cuatro commissioned Barcelona-based, audio-visual specialists, Kotoc to make the idents for the UEFA Euro 2008 competition.

Kotoc were briefed with “robots, football and superheroes” and created a campaign consisting of small sequences in which extreme football, action and science fiction merge.

Check Behance to watch the Cuatrobots!

There’s a few idents there, but they’re short and very sweet.

Wow - what is there not to love about carnival? I think London’s Notting Hill Carnival - the only one I’ve been to - shames in comparison to efforts from places like Sao Paulo, Brazil!
