Alexandre Duret-Lutz takes some awesome 360° panoramic photos. Have a look (he explains how they’re made on his flickr page):
Thanks Gina :)
Great animations, very insightful, by Lev Yilmaz. Visit his site to see his works, beautiful in their simplicity, honesty and last but not least, drawing detail.
Watch this one called Branding
This one, however, called How to break up, really takes the cake :))
Thanks Gina ;)
Beautiful images in this short short, Polkarella, made by Zubuyer Kaolin. You can download it from his site.

Ninja Savage Chickens are on the menu today :D
BTW, it seems yesterday was Ninja Day :))
(thanks Eugen)
Beautiful song, very soothing and relaxing… Almost dreamy. From Morcheeba’s last album, Dive Deep.
An image may equal 1000 words, but a good song means more, for a feeling equals 10000 words.
Lyrics here, listen the song here. Voice by Thomas Dybdahl, listen to some of his great songs here, here and here.
Reminds me a bit of Kwoon. These scandinavians sure are sensitive :)
Beautiful house with huge door, near Armeneasca Str, Bucharest (Toamnei str, if you look on yahoo maps). Irene came up with the ogre :). The image is made from 2 photos on top of each other, since my N73 wasn’t wide enough, with the help of some photomerging in PsCS3 (which still amazes me just how good it is).
I try not to throw stones. Nobody’s perfect and that’s a fact.
But Mr. Alexandru Ghildus managed to make me shriek “grab your torches and pitchforks!” once more (after his attempts to become some sort of local lord ruling over all designers – read about the infamous design law). This is his “designed” xmas tree for a charity xmas-tree-selling campaign:
For those that live in Bucharest or at least have been here it might seem familiar. Does this ring any bell?:
It seems Mr. Ghildus will never give us a break from his pyramid-mania. It is truly a shame that such a man is the head of the design school in our capital and truly a great shame that he is the one that wins “fair and square” (and pink pigs went flying in circles around my block) most of the pitches for public monuments and such. Are all architects in Romania so bad that a “designer” must show them how it’s done? Or is it just that they don’t have the “talent” (read money/relationships) to win those pitches?
Nobody is truly evil. But Mr. Ghildush is definitely running for the title of “the Sauron of romanian design” or “one designer to rule them all”.
And by the way, I wish at least romanian journalists learnt the difference between “designer” and “fashion designer”.
Disclaimer (a kind of):
Some may think young designers should just bow down in front of the older ones, but quality, wisdom, skill or greatness don’t come by simply growing older. It takes a whole lot more to become a “master” and earn respect. I strongly believe in learning by doubting and questioning. And if the emperor is naked, we must shout it out loud.

Nice nike-ish underline :)
