How to make a reproduction of a Hokusai

This Japanese site shows the making of a reproduction of a Japanese woodblock print by Hokusai. Although it is not understandable (in Japanese), the process is made clear in movies.

Carl Larsson

Beautiful illustrations by Carl Larsson (1853-1919)

pedalboard Trainspotting

I didn't know this was a hobby (profession) but it seems there's people out there taking pictures of other people's pedal boards. For die-hard hardware fans. Me, for one, I like seeing this stuff. It's like technical porn :)

great site about futurism (not the art movement)

Nina sent me this site. It gives great insight in the shape of dreams and visions of the future. Technique driven utopia's and social structural societies. Beautifullly illustrated aswell

nice animation

Krtek Molletje

what's it like to be on top?

check this out!

Zdeněk Miler

Zdeněk Miler is de bedenker en maker van de tekenfilms van "Molletje" (krtek). Ik heb vier delen aangeschaft van deze serie op DVD voor mijn zoontje. De verhaaltjes zijn stilistisch een wonder van technisch vernuft en originaliteit. Het zijn mooie compacte verhalen met veel fantasie waarin objecten net als in het werk van bijvoorbeeld Saul Steinberg een rol kunnen spelen in meerdere realiteiten (bijvoorbeeld in een twee dimensionale en een 3 dimensionale). Er staat iets meer informatie over Zdeněk Miler en zijn werk hier: http://www.tsjechie.net/board/f31/krtek-s-schepper-zdenek-miler-3475.html Later meer, en ook wat plaatjes!

Take a look at this movieclip. Looks really nice. I have never seen a Charles Burns Image move before. Look chilling. http://www.primalinea.com/pdn/images/peursteaser.htm I got the link for this teaser from the weblog of fantagraphics (the comics publisher) They also have some images that make your mouth either water or your jaw drop open: This is original art by Gilbert Hernandez. Just a stack ful of brilliant original art. Wow. I can't believe this one. One of those beautiful pages from the book Palestine by Joe Sacco, painstakingly rendered, is thrown in a box. According to the writer of the blog by Joe Sacco himself. Send me a line Joe, if there's more art you want to get rid off!!!

very good piece of writing about the counterculture movement

Hunter has the right idea. I want a sticker like that on my Renault Laguna.

I want to do this...

This looks so awesome. Like the only place in the world you'd want to be.

From the same site I posted about yesterday. Photographer's name is Jeff Divine. Photo is from 1974. This is Hawaii.
