At Rotterdam Central Station (NL) a "digital" clock was shown for 24 hours from 27 November to 28 November, which was meticulously kept by a total of 36 workers. Watch the video. LINK

A very cool little routine of robots performing to holiday tunes. A must watch. LINK

Mobile Mobile :: James Théophane Jnr

The story goes that when James was asked to create a company holiday card, he used the company's out-of-date mobile phones to create a mobile in the office lobby. The phones can play holiday jingles and also (until January) are supposed to be able to play music typed by internet users while watching live the reaction of anyone who happens to be in the waiting area at the time. LINK

This guy has made full use of the style of his house in his holiday decorating, creating this illusion. Check out the full story and see pictures of him towing the tree home with his mini car! LINK

Christmas Prank On Louie

Louie left his apartment keys with a friend while he was out of town for a week. Check out the result! LINK

Spirograph Jewelry :: Miette

Miette has created some interesting jewelry that is a throwback to the old spirograph toy. I do wish they had more close-up images. LINK

Alma :: Rodrigo Blaas

This is a really well-done animation about a girl and a doll. A sad ending but still worth the watch. LINK

Etch-A-Sketch Art :: George Vlosich

This guy creates pretty amazing drawings using an Etch-A-Sketch, and then disables it so that you can save your portrait or other artwork permanently. Check out the gallery of some of his drawings. LINK

Dispatchwork :: Jan Vormann

Check out the photos of an art project by Jan Vorman to "repair" old buildings using lego bricks. LINK

Red Bull has put together a little soap box racer game where you can customize your own car. Cool graphics too. LINK

Steampunk R2D2 :: Mark Edwards

A very cool R2D2 steampunked, found at amoebabloke's page on deviantart. LINK

This is a very cool animation of boxes. LINK

Mad Scientist Blocks

Although created for children, I love these laser-cut wood blocks. See a bigger image at their site. LINK

Brick Furniture :: Pepe Keykoop

Although he has some other art projects, I'm sharing his website link to check out his toy block chair and chandelier. LINK

Balancing Act :: Walter Wick

Not that balancing these toys isn't amazing enough, the attempts to knock it down are very cute. LINK

The Bronson Maneuver :: Octocore

This animated short only takes about a minute to watch so there is no excuse not to. But there are also some behind-the-scenes clips at the end. LINK

Pigeon Impossible :: Lucas Martell

The quality of this humorous animated short is equal to anything being created by the major studios. This is a must watch. LINK

Get the Glass

This is easily one of the best online games I've ever seen. Thank the California Milk Processor Board for funding it and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners and North Kingdom for it's creation.

Even if you don't have time to play it all the way through, I highly recommend taking 10-15 minutes and checking out as much as you can. LINK

If your kids get stuck at the end and can't figure out the answer, you can pretend to be a super sleuth that you know that it is "CAN I PLEASE GET THE GLASS."

Red Nose Studios

This illustrator creates fantastic miniature scenes that are also beautifully photographed. Though not related to traditional fairy tales, many of the scenes have a fantastic feel. If you aren't already familiar with her work, I would recommend checking out more at her site. LINK

Twisted Goldilocks Match Game

Here is an illustrated matching game with a fairy tale theme. It gets bloodier as it goes on so it's not a good game for young children. LINK

Twisted Fairy Tales Action Figures :: McFarlane's

In addition to some fairy tale themed action figures that are definitely not for kids, McFarlane's Toys has also created other toys that take a darker twist on our childhood fictions. See more of McFarlane's Monsters with a fairy tale theme here. LINK

The company also create's sports action figures but you can see a more complete listing of their science fiction and fantasy toys here. Warning that some are NSFW viewing. LINK

Snow White Apples :: Prudence Staite

These are some cool little illustrations using apples, apple seeds and some other foods. See all four illustrations here. LINK

Little Red Riding Hood

This is a cool little animation taking an entirely new look at Little Red Riding Hood. Although the style is borrowed from another artist named Royksopp, this is still a must watch. LINK

Obesq

This is a really cool drawing program that makes me nostalgic for spyrograph. It even lets you export a line-art version of your creation! LINK

NOTE: At last check, the Obesq site had disappeared.

3D Snowflake

Always a fan of paper art, of course I liked these 3D snowflakes. Directions on how to make them can be found here. LINK

Game :: Snow Storm

A simple little game. I have to admit that I like any game that makes me think a little differently. Probably good for kids 8 and up. LINK

Snow Kayaking

Not the normal art, but definitely creative. LINK

Thumbtack Art :: Eric Daigh

Eric Daigh creates portraits from thumbtacks. Check out his work at his site. LINK

Low Rise :: Peter Root

I love the simplicity of this city made out of staples. Peter Root has also done some other projects using sheet metal, soap, and even potatoes. LINK

Allison Foshee has done some pretty little natural artworks using staples. When you visit her site, choose galleries, then staples to see them all. LINK

Deadline :: Bang-Yao Liu

This was a school project by Bang-Yao Liu. Of course, I'm always a fan of stop-motion animation. LINK

Low Morale :: Monkeehub

An oldy but a goody, I'm sure we can all relate to these commentaries on office life. When you go to the site, make sure to click the previous and next buttons to see other clips. At the time of this posting there were about thirteen of them. I think my favorite is the Rube Goldberg. LINK

Styrobots :: Michael A. Salter

Michael A. Salter also does other sorts of art but he appears to create an oversized styrofoam piece for each of his exhibits. So far they've mostly been robots though he has also done a race car and a motorcycle. See more at his site. LINK

Fabio Viale does some pretty cool stuff with stone. Marble carved to look like styrofoam, a stone boat that floats, and rock that looks like paper! See more at his site. LINK
