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.

This Is Sand

Feeling tense? Find relaxation with this clever and well-coded Flash app. It allows you to create images reminiscent of those kitsch sand paintings you used to find in dodgy seaside towns ;-)

Stopp

I love the simplicity of this playhead interface, plus it's backed up by an extensive, multi-disciplinary portfolio containing some great work!

Science Under Fire

I haven't visited here since the launch of the second version site, there's some slick new work on display and a new blog too. I'm very curious about the Titan project - looks interesting...

I Love Dust

Extensive portfolio with some lovely work. I just love watching their animated logo build on the start page!

Okadada

Fluid, script-driven, illustrative abstractions... quite mesmerising.

Joshua Davis

My old friend and work colleague has a newer lo-fi site up, full of Flash-driven abstract loveliness.

Other - Jozias Dawson

Lovely randomly generated 80's inspired graphics form the backdrop for this slick, elegant and fun to use portfolio site.

Victor Taba

Music and animation mix randomly on a stage of visual and aural stimulation.

Sumeco

Some lovely abstract experiments, illustrations and typographical treatments.

Papervision 3D 2007 Showreel

Mind-blowing 3D plugin for Flash, only wish we had had this kind of stuff back in the day - we had to program it by hand, and it was absolutely nothing like this good!

Superdeux

Long standing portfolio with a bold cartoon style and some really 'cute' character designs...

Alan Watts vs Southpark

Trey Parker and Matt Stone (of Southpark notoriety), bring to life a couple of examples of the teachings of Alan Watts, the comparative religion expert and philosopher.

Sigg Jones

An urban tale of men and magic... Short movie showcasing some exceptional 3D talent!

Aeform

There are some nice images in here, but what I really love are the glowing molecular forms on the homepage, they're randomly generated and totally mesmerising - would make a lovely screensaver.

oScope Visual Search

Slick! You can run refined searches on Amazon, eBay, Flickr and YouTube with this, then display and filter the results in an array of intuitive formats - all within a very nicely put together dynamic Flash environment.

I was just looking for some orchid imagery with it and this really accelerates the browsing and discovery experience...

Halo 3 Believe

This is incredible, probably the best piece of diorama model making I've ever seen. It reminds me a little bit of the piece "Hell" by Jake and Dinos Chapman. The site is suitably atmospheric and the overlaid interface elements just add to the exquisite detail of the backdrop. I played both Halo 1 and 2 to legendary and might have to consider buying an Xbox 360 just so I can complete the trilogy!

V2KD Issue 04

Clean site with a nice selection of vector and pixel based abstracts. The previous three issues are worth a quick look too, but it's a shame you can't enlarge the images.

Alex Trochut

Great minimal portfolio site, which comprises a varied portfolio with some stunning examples of illustrative typography. I particularly like the way the navigation works once a few of the entries are open, it's so simple and intuitive.

Coke Side of Life Remix

An exhibition gathering loads of posters made online by artists everywhere. Have a look, or make your own...

Tomasz Miazga

Nice simple portfolio site with some lovely cartoon illustrations. Not 100% work safe ;-)

Onesize

Very cool site with slick navigation and loads of great motion pieces, particularly their new reel. Five stars all the way!

Julian Wolkenstein Photography

Great portfolio site. Simple, well implemented navigation that's a pleasure to use and shows of the works to their best advantage.

Dote Design

Loving the carousel interface here, especially the way you can throw it back and forth (with motion blur) using the mouse scroll wheel. My only negative comment is that I don't think the typography does it justice - the font is tiny.

070829

This is interesting - I played around with it for a while, but got frustrated that it wasn't giving much away. After a quick search I discovered it's actually a viral campaign for one of Nokia's new phones - the N81.

Checkland Kindleysides

Really elegant and beautifully executed use of the paper metaphor.

Pacemaker

Introducing the Pacemaker - The pocket-size DJ system! This has been around for a bit, but the site has been updated recently. Would love to get one of these to play around on, I just hope they hurry up and put it into production :-)

Made Thought

Lovely minimal use of Flash for this design consultancy.
