What if children’s drawings were drawn more realistically? That’s the question that Dave DeVries answered when he created The Monster Engine. Sadly, the Monster Engine site is down, presumably from all of the traffic it is getting, but after the jump you can see more crazy cool examples of this work.
Peter Callesen‘s creative abilities are phenomenal. Not only are the concepts great, the execution is on point. He blends cutting paper with sculpting the scraps to create fantastic scenes and metaphors. See more after the jump.
I love this stop motion video for Hudson, created by Jonathan Chong. Very resourceful, clever stuff.
YES gallery, an incredible source of inspiration, recently had a ‘Facebook’ event at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati.
Participants had their photo taken in the face-book set, the image was immediately uploaded to a shared folder, the photo was then color corrected, re-sized, saved for web on another computer, and then uploaded to Facebook by the user. The final outcome was an online ‘album‘ of every one’s ‘Face Book Profile Picture’.
Pretty amazing! Andrew of YES is contstantly firing out light hearted, socially active, and visually stunning work. After the jump you’ll see photos from other oversized projects as well as new limited edition prints from Andy Rementer, Elsa Lang, and Denis Carrier.
Though I’ve always considered Conan O’Brien to be the funniest guy on late-night TV, I never really watched his show religiously. It wasn’t until seeing Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop that I became a “true” fan. The film won me over partly because it revealed how truly upset Conan was about how NBC’s handled the time slot debacle with Jay Leno. Even though Conan was by no means struggling to survive, I can get behind anyone with a creative vision who acknowledges and fights for what they are worth, tooth and nail.
During the six-month period that NBC banned Conan from appearing on TV, he was flooded with fan support—a lot of which came in the form of artwork. This past week, the New York Museum of Conan Art curated a selection of those gifts from fans to be shown at the Time Warner Center in New York City.
