As you may have figured out, my name is Matt Griswold. This is where I think aloud, tag the trappings of the interwebs, and rant about all things interesting and ridiculous. You can reach me at mgriswold[at]gmail.com
Short films are tough - given this short story lives only 45 seconds, I think director Chris Milk achieved an awesome feat. Considering the self-imposed limitation, I find most telling the select moments he chooses to reward. (via @rafaeldante)
This is pretty amazing - live models brought into a painterly rendition of life. No photoshop required.
Replace the moose and bear with a donkey and elephant and you'd have a perfect metaphor for American politics today. I'm sure Ting Tey didn't have that in mind when he made this awesome animated short; but it fits.
An awesome photo series by David Jackson. Hit the link for 18 more mini-planets.
This awesome photographic series by Corinne Vionnet, entitled Photo Opportunities, combines hundreds of tourist snaps into a single image -- reflecting in the end result an incredible consistency in the amateur, opportunistic eye of travelers looking to capture their latest treasure of culture cred. Perhaps, if I could break away from staring for a moment, there's an insight to be found here about our shared perception of idyllic forms, collective memories, the golden ratio... maybe; but I can't help but to lose myself in these painterly composites for now.
Remember phone books? While the internet has rendered them obsolete, one artist is using them to render unique 3D art - etched directly from the pages of every listed John and Jane Doe.
Either these artists are awesome, or LOST is just rife with creative inspiration… based on the output of the LOST Underground Art Show I’d have to imagine it’s both! Check it out at http://lostundergroundartshow.blogspot.com/
