Urban Angel

Urban Angel are selling most of the art (in limited editions) that was displayed at the Corked Art Show a couple of weeks ago, and a lot of other very nice pieces by some really big names.

The paper sculpture above by Zeus was absolutely beautiful and I hadn't realised he'd made twenty five of them - hmmm...

Hajime Sorayama

For me, this man defined 80's airbrush chic and holds the title 'Creator of the Sexy Robot'. The quality of his work is truly outstanding - especially when you consider that everything was done by hand.

There's a lot of other beautiful artwork on display, but be aware that most of it is far from 'work safe' ;-).

Pablo Valbuena

Investigating space-time not only as a three dimensional environment, but as space in transformation. Two layers are produced: the physical layer, which controls the real space and shapes the volumetric base that serves as a support for a virtual projected layer that allows control of the transformation and sequentiality of space-time.

Futuristic Ferrari

I'm usually a Lamborghini man, but if I could have one of these I might make an exception ;-).

Delta Interview

Found this very interesting and insightful two-part interview with Delta (Boris Tellegen).

Richard Sweeney

Richard Sweeney makes things out of paper - amazing things...

Workology

Workology is a community of professionals, organisations and businesses who create work opportunities for each other - flexible, contract, project-partners, voluntary, etc.

Might have to join up and give it a try ;-)

Ideo

The new IDEO site has launched.

I really like the re-design: it feels interesting and exciting, is bursting with information and the usability of the site is very well thought through too.

Corked Art Show

Just got back from the launch party for the Corked Art Show - one of the best street art and graffiti shows I've been to in a long time.

Works on display from Andre Firmiano , Charming Baker, Derek Albeck, Dotmasters, Eine, Gaia, Grafter, Herakut, Hush, Ian Strawn, Inkie, Know Hope, Labrona, Phillip March, Jones, Romanywg, Shok 1, The London Police, Vitche and Zeus - well worth a visit if you're in the area (it's on until the 1st September).

Lattico

Lattico provides 3D models of the environment, using photogrammetric technology to collect three-dimensional spatial information. Derived from aerial data, their models are geographically correct, realistic representations of cities.

I've never seen this technology before, but judging by the gallery it looks very interesting. This is what Wikipedia has to say about it: Photogrammetry.

Bambam 131

Incredibly detailed fictitious spacecraft, modelled in Bryce and using NASA and the ESA as a point of reference (which makes them seem all the more believable).

I've used Bryce myself for years and know how difficult it is to attain this level of detail. My only comment would be - maybe the addition of some depth of field to add realism to some of the final renders.

Supashapes

Nice Flickr set of ribbon-based abstracts created with VVVV.

Desaxismundi also has many other interesting sets worth looking through if you've got a bit of spare time.

Beatboxes

Interesting Flickr set of semi-translucent cubic abstracts created with VVVV.

Desaxismundi also has many other interesting sets worth looking through if you've got a bit of spare time.

Netbaby

This is a very old link. I actually haven't visited this in years, but am pleasantly surprised to see it's still being maintained. I have always admired their low-poly graphical style and bulletproof interactivity. If you like old-school games and haven't seen it already - you'll love this.

Note: Many years ago I was the undefeated Boatrace champion (that shows true addiction and a testament to just how good these games really are).

Little People

Photographic documentation of street installations using manipulated train set figurines - left to to be discovered by passers-by observant enough to notice their discreet presence.

These really amaze me - it must be fantastic to actually come across one by accident.

There is a book available soon (which I think would be well worth getting) and also a treasure hunt to coincide with the launch - sounds like fun!

Nanikawa

This offshoot from Hi-Res have created some stunning work. As far as I'm aware it's still run by the ultra talented Andreas Müller - who I haven't seen for ages. You can see more of his work at Hahakid.

Numbers

New Flickr set from Lenny JPG. Abstract visualisations based on different statistical data from the Russian Federation.

Ndeur

There's some really nice illustration work in here, but I particularly love Ndeur's gorgeously customised high heels. If you're tempted to surprise the lady in your life, have a look in his Etsy shop.
