Dice Letterpress


I love the simplicity of these letterpress works made from dice. See more or buy one at the Etsy site. LINK

Shortest Monopoly Game


This father and son figured out a way to win/lose a game of monopoly in just a few seconds. Check it out. LINK

Pixels :: Patrick Jean


This is a cool concept for an animation. Old bitmap games take over our world! LINK

House of Cards :: Bryan Berg


218,792 cards, 4,051 decks, and 44 days were needed to create the largest "house" of playing cards. Read more about it at Daily Mail. LINK

Dice Mosaic :: David Alvarez


I won't give away what pictures he makes with his dice mosaics. You'll have to watch for yourself. LINK

I'll Be Gone :: KORB


Though very simple, this is still one of my favorite animations. LINK

Remind Me :: Royksopp


I do wish the video quality on this were better. The graphic designers out there should still find it worth watching at least a bit of it. LINK

This was the original piece that inspired the Little Red Ridinghood piece posted here previously. LINK

Map Art :: Matthew Cusick


I do wish I could see larger versions of these works by Matthew Cusick made from maps, to see more of the details. LINK

Piece Together :: Twelve Animals


See twelve different animals put together from the same land-mass maps. LINK

Local vs. Tourist


A cool flickr set that shows where locals take photos compared to the tourists. Read more about it and find your favorite city. LINK

Local Globes


I like the concept. See instructions for how to make your own. LINK

This Too Shall Pass :: OK Go


This music video is quite a production. Another Rube Goldberg that obviously took a lot of preparation, and more than a few takes. Check it out. LINK

Orgainized :: Michael Johansson

Michael Johansson has created a couple of series of projects that intrigue me. One is his organized pieces, fitting objects into spaces or shapes. Another are his life-sized "molded" objects. See them all at his site. LINK

Honda Accord Cog


After all of these years, this is still one of my favorite television commercials. Made completely from Accord car parts this single video took months to create and 605 failed attempts before one success. Watch it again! LINK

It's More Than You Imagine :: HBO


HBO, working with the Barbarian Group, put together this interactive website to promote it's story-telling. There are some really interesting components, such as one where we see the same scene from different points of view. Explore the world and unlock the mystery. LINK

NOTE :: At last check, HBO had taken this promotion off of its site.  

Guess the Google :: Grant Robinson


Some are easy, some are tough, but anyone can play this Guess the Google game. LINK

The Lighthouse Keeper


A nice animation about a lighthouse keeper. LINK

Light Warfare


These kids put together an urban battle ... using light for weapons. LINK

Lightmark


This duo, Cenci and Jens, really does light photography right! Nice use of shape, location, color! Check out their site! LINK

Light Orbs :: Denis Smith


This guy has mastered the circular glow. I do wish he'd experiment a bit more with other shapes. See more at his site. LINK

Character

The Character site is a place you can go to buy repurposed signage, one letter at a time. Neon is replaced with LED. But I particularly like the photography seen on the home page. LINK

Tokyo Glow

A very cool time-lapse video made in Tokyo. Worth checking out. LINK

Wrangler Blue Bell


An ingenious concept for an interactive website. My favorite is the one that tears the shirt off of the model. Take control for yourself. LINK

NOTE: They've updated the site since the original posting here. But the interactive components still work similarly. 

Leather Works :: Bob Bassett


You really have to check out some of the creations of this Ukrainian team. Though mostly masks of a steampunk or fantasy theme, there are also some other creations found in the gallery and archive links on their site including a fabulous dragon back pack and even a steampunk doll! LINK

Polyscene :: Polly Verity


She does so much more than just paper masks and dresses including tissue over wire frames and folded paper. From geometric to organic forms, her site is worth checking out. LINK

Polo Van Gogh


A promotional video for a new line of colors showing Van Gogh's portrait being made from polo shirts. LINK
