Because I've been a bad, bad blogger of late - blame my life: there was a hell of a lot happening in July-August, most of which I can't go into detail about - there have been quite a few performances I've attended recently that I haven't had time to blog about: until now. Apologies for the brevity of the following 'reviews' (perhaps 'impressions' would be a better word); I've got rather a lot to catch ...

Nestled in in the glove-like hold of its rotund armor, the figure awaits for a curious visitor to take a peek. One quick lift of the barrel and the little man inside says hello...Boing! Gotcha!A barrel man or barrelman is a souvenir doll or statuette popular in the Philippines. The statuette usually consists of a crude male figurine carved ...

One of our favorite artists, Audrey Kawasaki, has an exhibition in Rome, and she's posted scans of all her work on her blog. Her use of muted colors, foggy backgrounds, and antique flora and fauna embellishments, shows more refinement, restraint, and command than ever. Audrey Kawasaki's Rome art show

After reading Venkatesh Rao’s essay on The Bloody-Minded Pleasures of Engineering. I can’t help but think about why I am an engineer. And not surprisingly of course I come to the immediate conclusion; Because I am. Seriously, I can’t really help it. You see I’m pretty much an Nth generation engineer. The more I explore my personal family history, the more I discover the variety of engineers, architects, craftsmen (and craftswomen) and other creative types ...

What could a pocket-sized computer be? It could be a new kind of album extra (yawn), a new kind of generative musical format that samples and responds to the world around it (whoo). It could be a more effective controller (fun), or an Indian drone (really). The Apple iPod touch / iPhone, as always, brings both wonder (potential as an art platform or recording device) and trouble (respectively, restrictions on who can see your art ...

Musashi Miyamoto is the famous 17th century samurai who wrote The Book of Five Rings, a classic text on martial arts and military strategy. Takehiko Inoue is the genius manga artist behind Slam Dunk, a 90s manga series about a goofy basketball player that sold 100 million copies and got an entire generation of Japanese boys hooked on the sport. Inoue's latest endeavor has been to chronicle the life of Musashi in a comic book ...

For many enthusiasts, pimping out car sound systems (and even bicycles in some circles) is a time-honored tradition. However, Dutch artist Olaf Mooij may have taken this pastime to extreme new levels with his DJ Mobile. Inspired by the Popemobile and the song “God is a DJ” by Faithless, Mooij created a rolling PA system complete with two turntables and several gigantic speakers that look more like rockets. Details are scarce on the system itself, ...

When Disney conceived of making its psychedelic masterpiece Alice in Wonderland, it asked master illustrator Mary "It's a Small World" Blair to draw up a series of concept sketches for the art direction of the film. Blair's art was never used, alas -- for she made some of the most striking and lovely and just plain weird-ass art that anyone had ever done in the Alice canon (you can see many of them in this ...

O Don LaFontaine, γνωστός και ως “movie trailer guy”, η γνωστή σε όλους μας φωνή όλων των trailer, πέθανε τη Δευτέρα σε ηλικία 68 ετών. Η βαθιά, σχεδόν τρομαχτική φωνή που αναγνωρίζεις με τον πρώτο φθόγγο δεν θα συνοδεύει πλέον τα κάθε είδους trailer που θα βλέπεις στη μεγάλη οθόνη. Θα μπορέσει κανείς να τον αντικαταστήσει; Coming this winter…! Movie Voice Guy Don LaFontaine Has Died

Jennifer Maestre, who should change her name to Jennifer "Maestro", has created these fantastic sculptures out of pencils. Acccording to herself she took "hundreds of pencils, cut them into 1-inch sections, drill a hole in each section (to turn them into beads), sharpen them all and sew them together." Either she had way too much time on her hands, or just happened to be an incredibly talented art freak. I think it was the freaky ...

You can’t design without type. However, yon can use only type (or mostly only type) to create breath-taking designs. In fact, many graphic designers and artists take exactly this route to communicate their ideas through their works. The results are sometimes crazy, sometimes artsy, sometimes beautiful, but often just different from things we’re used to. Thus designers explore new horizons and we explore new viewing perspectives which is what inspiration is all about. You can’t ...
