Music Video Time My main online video intake these days has been focusing around watching music videos on Vimeo. If you hit on a good one it’s definitely worth the 2-6 minutes of your life. I’ve been trying to keep track of the ones that have stood out to me lately, here’s what I’ve got:...

Commercial of the Decade

AdweekMedia: Best of the 2000s – Commercial of the Decade There is some pretty cool stuff when you pick the best of a creative field like advertising. I’m sorry if you don’t like agencies manipulating you with advertisements, but it’s hard to dismiss that there is some pretty stellar ideas and artistic takes out there....

It’s Science

That’s Fuckin’ Science Man Sorry for the adult language, but I couldn’t help but say that to myself when I saw the illustration. What kind of science is it? It’s a Leyden jar from around 1890, and instrumental in discovering electricity, check it out on the all knowing wikipedia. To me, it’s one step above...

Anatomy of Japanese folk monsters

Anatomy of Japanese folk monsters – Via Pink Tentacle These are pretty cool. Great illustrations of the strange anatomy of Japanese folk monsters. They’re cool because A) You learn about fun Japanese fold monsters (I don’t know much about them, other than I’ve heard there are quite a few of them) and B) they’re brought...

Woolly War or Woolly Love? Yeah, it was time for some random design. I guess you could call this the result from a design exercise. I went on over to sxc.hu for some free photos. It can be fun to just click on their “Randomizer” tab and take what you’re given. Three photos, and limited...

DrawerGeeks I came across this site quite a while ago, and just realized I should share. It’s a fun every other Friday character project with a large group of artists, all with their own style and take on the given theme. Looks like it’s petered out this year, but a six year run on the...

Interesting point of view

Scope by Matt Webb I’ve been watching a lot of TED speakers and various design related talks these days. But for a while now I’ve had this one video of Matt Webb that I’ve re-watched a few times and I thought I should share. He’s a great speaker, and he’s approaching a large speaking point...

New Bohemia Signs

New Bohemia Signs Ok, why have I been slacking on posting cool things on my blog? Don’t know, because there’s so many cool things out there, like for instance, this sign shop in San Fran. You have to appreciate when people take a good amount of talent and mix it with a business model that...

Unwind

Jade — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 06:05:05 +0000

End of the Week There’s a lot of different ways to unwind a day. For some reason this night resolved in a Twilight beer watching this timelaps compilation of Japan at the same desk I spend the majority of the last 12 hours at. The video starts off a little ehhh, but it...
