Late Night YouTubing Skate & BMX Videos

Labels: BMX, DJ Krush, Film, Nigel Sylvester, Skateboarding, Video -

I've been staying up way too late watching loads of mad and pointless videos recently. Including this one featuring Nigel Sylvester. I really like the DJ Krush song at the beginning.

Escape From Tomorrow (A Day In the Life With Nigel Sylvester) from 13thWitness™ on Vimeo.

And also this one in which skateboarder Anthony Pappalardo created a "Circle Board" made from nine skateboards, which is now on display at the Franklin Parrasch Gallery, New York from November 28th.

To me it seems like a bit of an epic fail. Like the concept is amazing, but it needs someone a bit braver to execute it.

Eric Testroete - 3D Artist

Labels: Art, Canada, Computer Arts, Design, Eric Testroete -

Here is some amazing work from Eric Testroete (pronounced "test roht"). A 3D artist, based in Vancouver, in which he made an exact replica of his head, in large scale, entirely from cardboard.

Make sure you visit his website for more info on this piece and it's creation. The last two pictures look well creepy.

Three Quarters

I think this image is from a Dior mascara print ad, nothing fancy. We were learning how to draw front-on, 3/4 and profile poses. If you look closely, you can still see my construction lines! Lol.

HELMO - Coloured Smoke Photographs

Labels: Art, colour, France, HELMO, Photography -

HELMO is a creative collective made up of Thomas Couderc and Clement Vauchez and these coloured smoke photographs by the French duo are just breathtaking.

They also make me appreciate a bit more of the beauty found in winter and it being fucking freezing every morning when I have to get up for work.

What A Beautiful Way To Die - Two Music Videos

Labels: Death, Film, Jonathan Boulet, Music, Music Video, Video -

Two beautiful videos, both equally inspiring in different ways. What they do have in common is a weeny bit of murdering :S

Stina Persson - Illustrator

Labels: Art, Coca Cola, Elle UK, Fashion Illustration, Harper's Bazaar, Illustration, Nylon, Stina Persson, Sweden, Vogue Japan -

Stina Persson is an illustrator based in Stockholm, Sweden whose clients include Coca Cola, Absolut Vodka, Sony and DKNY.

I love how her use of colour and tone work uniquely to create quite a striking graphic feel, something which is softened gorgeously with the use of varied brush strokes.

She has also worked for some of my favourite magazines Vogue Nippon, Harper's Bazaar, Flaunt, Elle UK and Nylon amongst others.
