Great Photos by Peter Funch

Wow. These people photos are great. See if you can find the common theme among each one. I imagine a lot of photoshoppin' was used.

Kevin Dart: 60's Pulp

I think I met this guy a few years back at comic-con in San Diego, and I still wish I would have bought some of his prints. He's actually a really young dude to be capturing the feel of the 60's pulp stuff so well. I know my wife wouldn't let me hang his stuff up in our front room, but I'd love it.

Clever Simplicity: Effective Marketing

White Denim: Shake Shake Shake

I'm sure this video isn't going to be everybody's cup of tea, but I recognize it as powerful-memorable video story telling. Wish I knew what filters director Tom Haines used here.

Cassette Tape Portraits

Found this guy on drawn. He has a small set from this series on his flickr set.

Maurice Sendak and Spike Jonze

We've posted about Spike Jonze before, but his most recent project is bringing to film Maurice Sendak's powerful children's books "Where the Wild Things Are".


Everything I've seen about this movie is extremely captivating, and it looks really refreshing to me. I think mainly because Jonze has mostly steered clear of the overuse of CGI special effects. He's using huge costumes blended seamlessly with minimal CGI. I'm sooo glad he's opted to use live action as opposed to creating all the characters with CGI. The trailer came out today, and it looks way creepy/fascinating to me. You can view the trailer here. I'm not sure what to expect.



If you are interested, the music in the trailer is from the Arcade Fire. Its a great song, but this band has always been kinda hit and miss for me.

Shugo Tokumaru

I thought you guys might enjoy this.

Shugo is a music genius who intricately weaves sounds of all sorts by using random everyday objects to classical Japanese instruments. He has collected hundreds of noise makers and often incorporates them in his music.

I just wish I could tell what he was saying-maybe we'll have to get Phil to translate.

Beautiful Flash Experience

Came across this interactive flash site in which the user guides a brush to music, and the brush stroke responds to the music and lyrics. It has a pretty large initial load time but stick it out and turn up your speakers. Its a great example of an effective interactive user experience highlighting a product.
