Organic Drawings :: Yellena James


I'm not sure if it's the color palettes or the irregular shapes that draw me to Yellena James' drawings but they are worth checking out at her site. LINK

Arboretum


Do you remember this Sears ad from a few years back showing tools blossoming in the garden? If not, it's worth watching again. LINK

Time after Time :: Ori Gersht


If I remember correctly, this artist first freezes the flower arrangements before blowing them up and photographing them. See more at the Mummery+Schnelle gallery site. LINK

Digital Flowers :: Macoto Murayama


Some cool digital flowers. LINK

Glass Flowers :: Blaschka


Begun as a hobby, crafting glass flowers became a paying gig for father-and-son glass sculptors Rudolf and Leopold Blaschka when Harvard commissioned them to create over 3,000 plant and flower models for their botany students. Read more about them at the Curious Expeditions site. LINK

Or see the flickr set. LINK

Big Buck Bunny :: Peach Open



A well-done animation with plenty of character. LINK

Kung Fu Bunny :: Vincent


This is my favorite of these animated short films, the third in a series. It is part stop-action animation, part illustrated. LINK

Red Rabbit :: Shape Minds


I'd be curious to learn what the rabbit might be a metaphor for in this animated clip. LINK

Egg City


This egg stacking display in China was made entirely from raw eggs without any adhesives. LINK

Egg Carving


Check out some examples of some pretty extreme egg carving. LINK

Bad Eggs :: The Jupiter Drawing Room


These are rather clever illustrations for an advertising campaign for eggs. There appear to be two series.
The horror movie villains can be seen at the creative firm's site. LINK
The political villains can be found at adpunch. LINK
