Had no idea this gif was from a full length video. That bear lays down some awesome moves on the lino - check it out. Track is DJ Format feat Jurassic 5 - We Know Something. I love a serious sounding track with a completely comedy video - the kings of which are the Beastie Boys ;)

Zamak Robots

Interesting interview with French artist Olivier Bucheron (aka Zamak) about his character design work. The details and personality on each is so well done. Feels quite Japanese. Matthew Newton explains - working in a foundry was his inspiration,

“… amidst the grit and grime of machinery and alloys, Bucheron first conceived the idea to build his own machines. But unlike the practical machinery surrounding him, his creations would be more surreal—the type of characters plucked from science fiction or fantasy. Bucheron’s striking robots, vehicles, and machines reflect the vivid creativity and near-obsessive attention to detail of a dedicated artisan. From the choice of paint, to the texture of the metal, to the way light is reflected, each of his characters is a highly evolved study in the boundaries of human imagination. “ Matthew Newton

Loads more juicy characters and machines on Zamak’s very nice looking blog and portfolio site.

I keep finding pictures of eggs screaming for their lives in frying pans and egg boxes. They’re everywhere! Here, here, here, here, here, here, here, but these ones are especially good. ;) What’s with the eggs everyone ?

Lens Bracelets.

Cool bracelets for chaps cut from out of recycled old camera lenses. Only one of each available. Clever idea, and beautiful results. You can buy them here. I have a similar bracelet Cookie got me, made out of a stainless steel ruler. It rocks - and it’s handy too ; ) Link via photographer, Greg.

Skar. I like this font, but mostly i like it because it’s been made from cutout paper and scanned in. A nice chunkiness to it. Great choice of colour too ; ) See more of Jónas’s work here.

Knitted Tree

Glass Brains Balloon Organs

I fell across the art site ANY this evening. It’s got all sorts of interesting and unusual installations in there. My favourites were the giant knitted tree room “City of Stitches”, where you can climb into pieces of clothing that are knitted into the installation and become part of the fabric of the scene - by Isabel Berglund in Copenhagen. Also were these glass and metal brains ( one empty brain one full ? ), by John Armleder, from Geneva and a set of balloon intestines : ) by Christopher Brach from Eindhoven his personal site here.

Pinhole Cameras To Make

If your BBQ plans are washed away this Bank Holiday Weekend, ( you know it’s gonna rain! ) then have a go on this perfect rainyday project - print out and make pinhole cameras. Lovely Lomo-esque effects. Nice! Found these over at Corbis. There’s a bunch to choose from, or maybe use the template and design your own ? Now … where’s that prittstick at … ?

James Joyce Illustrator

Thursday night me and Stina went down to the opening of Joycey’s new show and the Kemistry Gallery. He’s absolutely rammed every square inch with giant colourful screen prints. It’s looking wicked. ( Although it was pretty hard to see round in the evening as the tiny gallery was chock solid with eager viewers! ) If you get a chance to go down do. There’s a whole bunch of stuff i wanna get! The best one is of a mixing desk covered in buttons and dials, tagged with cheeky opposites for On and Off. That’s what i like about his work is the little twists of humour in there. Good stuff Joycey! You can see more ( like his shop front for Carhartt and this cool music thing for Levi’s ) over at his site One Fine Day. And also past shows at Kemistry here. Happy browsing : )
