The world of Wayne White is a place I want to experience. He’s worn many hats such as a painter, sculptor, cartoonist, puppeteer, set designer, art director, animator, and illustrator. He created and voiced Randy among many other contributions to Pee Wee’s Playhouse. I find his attitude and approach to making extremely contagious.
All of this energy and humor is captured in Neil Berkely’s documentary, Beauty is Embarrassing, which will premier at SXSW next Saturday! Go check it out. Below you can see the incredible trailer and some of Wayne’s paintings.
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.
