Treat Me Like Your Mother

Jack White's new incarnation The Dead Weather brings together members of the Raconteurs, the Kills, Queens of the Stone Age, and White himself from the White Stripes. Their latest video by veteran commercial and music-video director Jonathan Glazer will leave you wanting more.

Sequenced Crayons

Ohio based painter/sculptor Christian Faur creates amazing portraits with crayons. Using individual crayons as pixels sequenced into complex tones and hues, his portraits look photo-realistic with a ghostly quality that is somewhat haunting. With his crayon studies as just a portion of his scope, his full repertoire includes some other interesting paintings and installations.

Age Maps

Photographer Bobby Neel Adams creates compelling collage studies that compare and contrast the effects and retentions of age. Spliced together without the use of photoshop, his "Age Maps" and "Family Tree" portraits reveal continuity and evolution in age and family lineage.

Gundam Rises

We have Burning Man, Tokyo has Gundam. A lifesize Gundam robot has risen in Tokyo. It stands approximately 6 stories tall (59 feet). The epic monument for anime fans was revealed in full illuminated form today. See the progress of construction from beginning to end on this flickr blog.

Mayuko Fujino

Just discovered some really nice paper cut out illustrations by Japanese artist Mayuko Fujino. You can see her work on her website "Planet Platonic", or her flickr page and etsy shop.

Kinetic Undulations

John Douglas Powers creates some interesting kinetic sculptures that are adroitly meditative and sonic. What's striking about Power's work is his use of common materials: wood, reeds, old typewriters, found objects, etc. His "Field of Reeds", "Undulations", and "Remember" installations are particularly mesmerizing.
