Apple Seed

"The Seed" is a beautiful two-minute animation about nature's life cycle seen from the angle of an apple seed journey. The animation was commissioned by Adobe to promote its CS4 version. The short film was made by Johnny Kelly, who used a mixture of stop motion papercraft and traditional animation to reach this beautiful result! (Check it out the making-of below for more details of the production).

Piece of Paper

Another beautiful idea that came up from Katarzyna Kijek & Przemysław Adamski. The music is part of the new album of the british band Oi Va Voi.

Great animation made by Katarzyna Kijek and Przemysław Adamski for the eFTe to help promote ethical consumption. I'm specially keen on the collage effect and the we-create-our-on-monsters concept.

(e)Feito de Papel

A criação cheia-de-detalhe acima custou algumas horas de suor do grafista Ian Wright. A trabalho ilustra a capa do novo álbum do rapper T.I..

Innovation

Jim Jarmusch: "Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: 'It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to'.”

Cores de Frida Khalo

Post-tributo ao documentário que assisti a pouco sobre Frida. Para acompanhar algumas quotes da pintora mexicana.

"I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you."

"The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration."

"They are so damn 'intellectual' and rotten that I can't stand them anymore....I would rather sit on the floor in the market of Toluca and sell tortillas, than have anything to do with those 'artistic' bitches of Paris."
