Kanye West - "Good Morning"
A music video for Kanye West's "Good Morning". It's cool seeing Takashi Murakami's work in motion. I wonder if BET shows stuff like this?

Best 2008 Olympics Photos
I really do feel like a jerk for not watching any of the Olympics. Not sure why I didn't. Either way, here are some photo highlights. A few are pretty funny.

Ken Garduno
If I were to put together a book of illustrators (ala Illustration Now) I would include this fellow, I think.

That Was Epic.com
Ever since Youtube was created I've been annoyed by the idiotic comments on each video. ThatWasEpic.com takes such comments from various video sites and decontextualizes them, turning them into a gallery of large poetic statements. Did I mention that I hate Youtube commentors?

Coolest album promo site ever. Solve the puzzles and get a free Harmonic 313 mp3! This and Flying Lotus' site are both awesome.
Small animals rule.

Ghostshrimp
While searching for images of The Misadventures of Flapjack, I ran across Ghostshrimp, a collective of artists who I am now geeking out over. They've done storyboards for Flapjack episodes. They also have a few music-related works floating around.

Hairwash Project
My girlfriend linked me. I thought it was interesting. Before (or during?) and after! My hair wouldn't work very well for this.

I just felt the need to post about Jason Jagel. I love his paintings. I don't hear enough about him.
Design Ignites Change
A beautiful poster designed by Marian Bantjes, made with laser cuts. Purchase it and the money goes to AED's Speak for the Child project, which helps orphaned HIV/AIDS victims in Kenya.
Nedroid.com
One of my favorite online comics, Nedroid.com. It's hilarious and Beartato is awesome. Also, the drawings are quite good.

Tekkon Kinkreet Backgrounds
Lines & Colors made a post about the background art of Tekkon Kinkreet, remind me how amazing it is. I wish the artbooks were easier to get ahold of.

The Desktop Wallpaper Project
I've been grabbing wallpapers for my work computer from this project for a few months. A lot of great artists are participating. My favorite so far have been those by McBess, because he is awesome. Check it out at Kitsune Noir.

Olympics girl
real singer
replaced face
Apparently during the opening ceremony at the Olympics, a little girl was singing "Ode to the Motherland." But she was lip-syncing to the song. The real girl who sang the song was not deemed "cute" enough for tv. OUCH.

Azymuth in LA
A poster for an Azymuth concert this week in LA. I like the design.
More evidence that I need to live on the west coast.

Sun Jar
"Pairing a traditional glass mason jar with a solar-charged high-tech energy efficient LED lamp, the Sun Jar generates soft natural light in a very appealing package. Just place the Sun Jar in direct sunlight during the day, and see that sunlight returned in the form of glowing LED awesomeness at night."
OOOOO...

Nixon Tribella Watch
I want to like it, but something is holding me back. I can't tell if it's the color or the triangle. Either way, it's still pretty cool.

This mock album packaging by Argentinian designer DHNN would force me to buy a Beck album... If only it were real.

iHologram by David O'Reilly
David O'Reilly, an experimental animator that I've been following lately, has coded an iPhone application which displays one of his characters running. Depending on which way you turn the iPhone, the angle changes giving the illusion of the cat being 3D. O'Reilly is awesome. If you haven't seen his cartoon "Please Say Something", WATCH IT. It is one of my favorite things on the internet.
