Drawings by Swampdonkey

The view of life from a creative guy from Oakland, CA, named Swampdonkey. He is not famous or has a good position int the creative szene or rich or has something important to say. Maybe the only thing you get is , when you translate his name -(urban language : A very ugly, usually fat girl who hangs around in bars and clubs waiting to sexually assault males who are too drunk to defend themselves.)
His work comes naturally out of his mind and lifestyle. He just loves to do his art and photography. And it is good for us that he shares his creative output with us on his flickr account. I like his stuff and take the chance to spread it. And maybe you like it too.

JULIEN VALLÉE / Danse Dance

“Each day, we are surrounded by seemingly insignificant objects, taking them from one place to the other, or leaving them on a table for weeks, without paying any attention to them. We ignore or forget them, using things only when we need to, making sure they don’t interfere or inhabit our space. But what if they were not so stable and subservient? What if they could swivel, bounce or even fly. And what if they did so all at the same time? We want to imagine a place where objects could live and move, harmoniously, and of their own accord. Without interfering with each other these objects would bounce, roll, turn and cross each other’s paths.

This experiment is about re-discovering our daily surroundings. This is the making of the interactive video that was originally made for If You Could Collaborate exhibition.

This video is the making of the interactive film where each object is assigned to a letter on the keyboard, and can be activated or deactivated at any time. To learn more about our process and to play with this interactive desk, go to dansedance.com”

Mario Hugo developed several verbal and non verbal concepts for the the album of Beck.
“I was asked to develop bold, iconic concepts for the latest Beck album. This verbal set went unused, though some concepts were later re-appropriated for the tour.”

John Nolan Animatronics

Check out the mechanics of these animatronics. I know these mechanical puppets are really creepy and terrifying, nothing for a sensitive soul. The spookiest thing about it is, that they know how to bring these object to life. But they also made a cute one.

Enjoy their work and
more films

I am not an artist

An animated gif paranoia about nonstop design workers.
I found this funny little amazing website about gifs. And it really makes you laugh. The best is the gif animator. I always wanted to make a little animated gif and mostly i was too lazy to make it with photoshop, but the generator tool on the website is really easy to use. Upload some pictures, which are related to each other in any kind of way and then you are an nonstop design worker. And there some really funny ideas, very lovable trashy stuff. Perfect for long nights of hard working to cool down your brain a little bit.

CHLOROPHYLL SKIN BY LUCIE MC RAE AND MANDY SMITH

An experimentation into color, movement, absorption and the body. For me it is an act of art between disgust and the fascination of surrealistic experiments with the human body, which is freaking me out in some way. Find here more information about Lucy McRae and Mandy Smith.

Paintings by Marion Lane

Statement

“I use intuition and creative zeal to discover forms and plumb my experiences, emotional, physical and aesthetic, which I recast as shape, line, color, and dimension. From childhood I have experienced my most moving and intimate experiences as gesture, which has always been a vital component of my work. My work springs from nature in as much as I am a creature born of nature.

I often use geometric forms, most often the circle to allude to an ideal of physical perfection and emotional stability and a reference to order and equilibrium.”

Nokta by Onur Senturk

“Nokta (Dot) is an abstract film project which is an improvisation of organic pieces while considering themes like power, chance and luck.
I also wanted a perspective that can be subjectified by
viewers.”

‘I see some correspondence between the foundation of universal harmony on elliptical orbit and the predilection for the elliptic forms in Baroque architecture. In both cases harmony is still defined as unity within multiplicity, but it ceased to be static, namely, harmony expressed in one ideal geometrical form, and became so to speak dynamic. What was previously regarded as the deviation from the ideal form, was comprehended for the first time as an integral part of the form, or form of forms, which are capable of endless transitions one into another. ‘ [Amos Funkenstein, The Dialectical Preparation of Scientific Revolutions. On the Role of Hypothetical Reasoning in the Emergence of Copernican Astronomy and Galilean Mechanics.]
