So I don’t really have a huge amount to say regarding this, other than here is the first five minutes of this highly anticipated documentary featuring the brilliant Banksy. Can’t wait to see the rest of it! Enjoy.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Last week saw the first look at the new movie by Edgar Wright – “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World“. Being a huge fan of his first two movies (Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) as well as discovering the “Spaced” TV series he made with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, anticipation was already very high on this project before I saw this – now it’s release date can’t come quick enough! I immediately ordered all available volumes of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series by Brian Lee O’Malley this movie is based on, particularly because from what I’ve seen it will likely enhance appreciation of it based on the immense amount of detail lifted from the source material (as hinted at by the attached frame by frame breakdown video clip).

This is a very clever Pop Art rendition of Michelangelo’s “La Pietà” by Kordian Lewandowskiego, featuring the iconic Nintendo characters Mario and Princess Peach. It is a beautifully realised work, handcrafted from polystyrene. More pics after the jump.

These stunning images are part of a just finished 9-piece series by Alex Varanese entitled Pavement Loop. He takes a great deal of his inspiration from the environment around him, in this case the city of San Francisco, with much of his work first rendered in 3d and then re-worked and combined with typographic or vector based elements. Check out more of his work here.

“The Sandpit” by Sam O’Hare

Jamie — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:08:12 +0000

A beautiful short film depicting a day in the life of New York City, shot to look in miniature, by Sam O’Hare. The video was created from over 35000 stills with effects created in post production – click here for an interesting interview with Sam where he goes into further detail about the shoot. The original score is composed by Human.

“Enter The Void” Opening Credits

Jamie — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 22:32:50 +0000

From the upcoming movie directed by Gaspar Noé, Enter The Void‘s opening credits are a relentless overload to the senses. If the movie is anything like this sequence, it should be quite a trip.

Best Of Custom Letters 2009

Lettercult, a fantastic website devoted to custom typographical design, has been hard at work compiling their favourite works of 2009. From the reasonably large group on display here (well worth your time to take a look – there is some truly awesome work), they impressively managed to choose a top 10. A great place to visit when in need of some inspiration! This is a small selection of works from their “best of” lists.

Facts About Projection

This is a wonderful short video about the dying artform of the film projectionist by Studiocanoe. I actually worked part time at an old movie theatre while at art school, and this certainly conjures up some fond memories. Click here for more information.
