You light up my life

Saw this on the weekend and thought it deserved a post, it was really good to see lazer lights with out being in a club with heavy music and smashed up people. There is something about them that is so eye catching. This was actually done for virgin media, to celebrate broadband. It was free and no one was even there.

Cover me softly.

These are just beautiful! Gives a new meaning to the phrase read a book by its cover. Got these over at Crookedbrains blog.

It’s the mash potato post!

This week is from a band called Girl Talk, I discovered their music while in an Urban Outfitters, when I got my phones track ID application out to tell me what song is on. Apparently I’m not the only person who did this, must be good if people are trying to find out what the band is right!?

Once you pop it you cant stop it. literally!

This is something I found over at Scotts blog, which you can find here. It’s an exceptional interactive video. It’s refreshing to see something like this. The maker behind this is quoted to say “I got bored with the computer technique and a pre-formatted way of working”. Aren’t we all, I am glad someone’s doing something about it! But do try the interactive video it does bring it to life, you can find it here.

It’s the mash potato post

This week’s mash-up post is from Jamie T, singing Beyonce’s “If I Were A Boy”

I think he does a great job, the only thing I would say is you are a boy, so it’s a bit confusing.

Practical fashion

Fashion isn’t really seen as something practical, it’s more about how something looks then how comfortable it is. But what if you could have the best of both worlds.

This was a previous idea I had:

My next instalment to the series is stiletto storage:

One more... the Swiss Army Knife that every lady should have:

That's all for now

It's da mash potato post!!!

Going to try do this as a regular post, music mash-up, or collaboration’s. this week is from London’s own very Professor Green.

take 257 and action!

This advert that’s done by Wieden and Kennedy's Portland branch is something of a gem. You either want to be that man or be with him. But you cannot deny it is a great ad. But a little fact for you to think about is its in one shot and its not computer generated. It’s all real baby! The only bit that is fictional is the diamonds falling through the hand. Even him moving onto the horse is part of the one take! When the bathroom is lifted you can see it’s a set but apart from that it’s flawless!

Not so cheesy!

An exceptional advert, true to the brand and makes me laugh. The music has a key role to play in this. Rocky music in my eyes may have been over used but never the less it’s great to see a mouse pressing weights.

And then we have this one, similar truth except the other one is more memorable as it plays with the name. but I do love the slow motion!

I wish my Ipod looked and did this!

New take on beat boxing!

...and now for the live show...

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a thing on it

Great bit of penis drawing! What’s the obsession with drawing a penis? We draw then on foreheads, on blank pieces of paper, even on toilet doors.

This advert is well thought out, hits the target market, funny with a serious issue to talk about.The music is brilliantly done, and reminds me of early Disney cartoons.

And then we have this, The Dick scene from Superbad.

Ouch!

This is a great strategy, and a clever piece of self advertising, I would defiantly give him some money.

ssssshhh cinema

This is something that was passed onto me through Facebook, different locations, different films but all a secret. You are given hints weeks before the event of what the film might be, you are told to dress accordingly. The location and people are transformed into whatever theme the film is. Here is the website with some more videos and how to join.

Nice use of stop motion animation. Stop motion has always captured me, mainly because of the time and precision that goes into it. I always wonder if it wasn’t stop motion would it be as interesting, because we know they have spent 2 days doing this, does it seem more exciting. Anyway I love interaction of animation and humans.

What’s funny is you don’t even notice it’s a music video.

One polar bear, two polar bear, three polar bear, floor!

In love with a toaster

I have always wondered how it would feel to fall in love with an inanimate object, the advertising company Sell Sell have created a short film in super 8 cine film. Nice story, and if I fell in love with an object, I think mine would be a glass, so when i was having a sip, i would be secretly kissing it.

The Last Noise

I have been using this to draw from it is for something we are working on. But I noticed something… is it me or does it look like Jesus has just let off a big old fart. All the disciples seem to have moved away from him with disgust. The guy on the right of him has put up his finger as to say “pull my finger.”

I think the interpretation of this image still needs to be discovered, but I think today we are one step closer!

Picture Perfect

The unique and alive 3D sculptures are made out of many photographs of the original subjects. When I see art like this I always wonder why…Maybe the artist is trying to interpret life in a new way. Are they bored of life? And therefore constantly creating new concepts to express life. I always find it fascinating with work like this, I always wonder if the artist was trying to show off his technique, exploit his new way of thinking, or maybe it is just an expression of oneself or are they just bored and thought this would look good.

When we look at these, what do we see? A human? Or a sculpture? The sculpture wouldn’t have the same realistic point of view if it was done with drawings, or possible different photographic images put together. In a way this is more life like then a sculpture or statue. Why is this, because I can see clearer details in these photos? Or is it because this is maybe how our mind works, we see something and with our mind we break it apart and analyse it. This process has already taken place in these sculptures. What I like about these, they are a mind f*ck, your mind is trying to believe they are real but you know very well they aren’t. So you are stuck in the middle.

Ear buds??

An experimentation with color, movement, absorption and the body. Some work from an artist team called Lucy and Bart, check out their other work here.

World Zombie Day in London

This is something I have done twice now, it involves a lot of makeup, intense limping and moaning noises. It’s only friggin World Zombie Day in London! If you have ever wondered what Kate Moss must feel like walking down Oxford Street, then do this. I have never been stared at quite so much! On our trip we stumbled onto a newly wed couple. Who were delighted to have their brains nibbled at. They were peacefully getting photographed at Piccadilly Circus when 50 zombies attacked, it was absolutely brilliant! If you want to do it next year, join the facebook group.
