The Japanese Popstars

Awesommeee music video from The Japanese Popstars featuring Green Velvet for the song "Let Go". One of the best "illustration" music videos I've seen.

Nixon Art Mosh

Nixon Art Mosh is a traveling art exhibit that features paintings, photography, sculpture and more from some of today's most popular artists. Take a look at the video as they stop by Chelsea in New York City. Oh and I'm liking their poster designs too.

Still love this video, "Make Her Say" with Kid Cudi, Gaga and Kanye. Directed by Nez Khammal.

The Future of Books

IDEO has created an innovative design for the future of books. To create a more informative and interactive way to read, IDEO has designed three different "programs" that integrate social networking and information technology into reading. New experiences can be made with easy access group discussions, and information can be referenced through side notes and historical cross checking. I think it's a great concept and would encourage many young people to read. Take a look at the video to see for yourself!

Sacred Mtn.

I'm enjoying the design work of Scott Barry, aka Sacred Mtn., who is the creative director of San Francisco's Ordinary Kids.

Umeric

Umeric, a design, film and vfx studio in Sydney, Australia, creates beautiful films and commercials. I especially love the MTV commercials that feature their organic creatures. Take a look at their "Until Now" show reel to see.

Sleigh Bells

Sleigh Bells - "Infinity Guitars".

Surfer Blood

Surfer Blood's music video for "Floating Vibes", one of my favorite songs of the summer.

David Smith

Beautiful short documentary on sign artist, David Smith. The video shows the intricate craftsmanship and process behind glass embossing and hand-lettered signs. Today this is a rare art form, but its history is rich. While watching this video you truly appreciate the process and craft of Smith's work.

Kid Cudi Complex

Really like the October/November cover featuring Kid Cudi for Complex magazine.

Siemon Allen

Saw Siemon Allen talk about his work this past Wednesday at the Anderson Gallery in Richmond, Virginia. The scale and complexity of his work is beautiful. Siemon Allen is from South Africa, and his work explores the idea of the South African identity.

"...most of my work, is the result of my being in the United States, where I find myself looking at the image of South Africa as I might reconstruct it—through historical artifacts (stamps), through current media (newspapers) or through received audio (sampled sound works). To some extent it speaks to what I feel is a kind of separation from the source, and leads me to consider how much of this work is, at its core, an investigation into notions of branding and identity through displacement."

If you're in the Richmond, Virginia area, Siemon Allen's work will be on view until October 31st at the Anderson Gallery.

Kanye @ VMAs

Recap of Kanye West's performance at this years MTV Video Music Awards. "Runaway" featuring Pusha T, from Clipse.
