The Meek Shall
Absolutely loving the work from Matt Joyce, a Cardiff based illustrator and graphic designer who works under the moniker The Meek Shall. You can buy his works here or follow him on twitter over here.
Oh…back again?
Another long break between posts, but sometime other things are just much more important. Trust me.
Anyway, am back for a bit and will start chucking up some stuff in the next day or so. Oh yeah, I just bought an iPhone – which is actually amazing. Bingo.
Click for Art
Some really great prints over at Click for Art. See if you can guess what I want for Christmas.
Your Kung-Fu is strong
From the genius that brought you My New Filing Technique is Unstoppable we now have their reflections on martial arts in My New Fighting Technique is Unstoppable. As funny as Dog Judo.
Toshiba Time Sculpture
Bullet time is back with the astounding Timesculpture by Saatchi LA. Though we’ve all seen the whole Matrix frozen time thing before, what makes this a bit more interesting is that they used a consumer video camera (i.e. the advertised product) to capture the raw footage. See how they did it here. I’m impressed.
Fuck off Jimmy
I hate James Bond films.
I’ve never looked forward to them and have always groaned inwardly whenever I’ve had to watch any one of the dire movies, no matter who was playing 007, and today I read a quote, from David Mitchell, that just about sums it up for me.
“The main thing about James Bond is that he doesn’t give a shit what anyone thinks. He’s a bit of a dick, really – not someone you’d want to end up next to at a dinner party – but he keeps saving the world, so, you know, fair enough.”
See what I mean.
The not so long tail
Ooops. New evidence suggests that the Long Tail effect may not have panned out as first thought. In fact, the word used is ‘debunked’. Read it here.
Little Big Planet
This is my obligatory Little Big Planet post.
If you haven’t come across LBP then you must have been hiding out in a cave hoping that the CIA don’t come round for tea. For those of you that aren’t on the run from the forces of international justice then you’ll undoubtedly know that it’s an amazing looking game that sort of lets you construct your own levels, environments, interactions and various other treats.
Made by Media Molecule who have also posted up a pretty good flickr album. Nice.
An engineer’s guide to cats
Ok, it’s about cats…sorry. While reasonably geeky it’s still fairly funny. Sample quote “Ginger’s compact size means she can fit easily into tight parking spaces”. Enjoy it animal lovers.
