Running from the Camera
Though I do wish that the locations were more inspired, this is a nice simple concept to set the timer on the camera to two seconds, then see how far you can run from it before the shutter clicks. See the results at his site. LINK
Paper Parkour :: Serene Teh
It would appear from the dates of the original video postings that this creation was inspired by the VideoGioco illustration video previously posted here. But still a cool little piece putting together Parkour illustrations. LINK
Freerunning :: Urban Idiots
When I see kids running about like this, I can't help but think about how much my knees hurt! Pretty cool to see them fly about and still land on their feet. LINK

Little Wheel
Unlike many other point-and click games, this one gives you visual cues to help you make your way through this robot landscape. It's worth playing just to see the graphics and doesn't take too long to help power up the robot world. LINK
Robot Art :: Lawrence Northey
Lawrence Northey has created some very endearing robot sculptures. See more at his site. LINK
100 Robots :: Brian Despain
I love the color-palette in these paintings and the stories one can read into them. Lots of robots as he works to complete his "100 Robots" project but other subject matter as well. LINK

Amazing graphics in this film noire style video of a fleeting moment between two strangers. LINK

Car-Part Sculptures :: James Corbett
Cars, motorcyles, animals, and more are all created out of car parts by James Corbett. And one of the things I rarely see in found-object sculptures of vehicles, are the figures driving and riding them. See the all at his site. Some very cool stuff. LINK

These sculptures are amazing. Full-size construction vehicles done in a gothic style! Caterpillar, dump truck, cement truck, even a flat-bed semi and trailer. There are also some example of scale models at his site. Plenty of other interesting artwork to check out while you are there. LINK
Loop the Loop :: Fifth Gear
These guys wanted to see if they could get a real car to go 360 degrees, upside down around a loop, like a toy car on a track. I won't give away whether or not they were successful. See the results. LINK
