Just taking a little coffee break here at the office to enjoy another animated short from London’s Yum Yum studio. Like all the other great stuff they do, the video is brimming with suspense and humor. If you fall in love with the characters (hard not to) don’t fret, you can pick up the soft vinyl toy versions of some of Yum Yum gang here.
How does an artist move forward without forsaking his past? Take something he’s already made and give it new meaning? Over the course of one year, filmmaker Jim Helton documented New York-based artist Chris Rubino as he explored these paradigms and new direction in his work…
It’s been a few weeks since our last T-Shirt Tuesday and you know what a sucker I am for well-styled B&W collections…
It’s hard to imagine that cold weather season is upon us when it’s a whopping 90º here in Los Angeles today. But, back home in New York (and in other corners of the world), autumn is on with winter at its heels. This killer montage by Bart Van Der Gaag entitled “Autumn by the Lake” has all the nose-biting and romantic feel of this time of year — plus some very white swans…
We mentioned Lo’s List’s soft spot for podcasting gem Radiolab in our Complete Carry-On post from last year but the love just keeps growing for Jad and Robert. For those of you who aren’t up-to-snuff with the program’s format, the premise is as follows: each episode dissects — whether scientifically or philosophically — a topic, from Parasites to Parabolas, Mortality to Morality…
One of our hands-down favorite crews bombing the walls of Tel Aviv is the Haifa-based Broken Fingaz Crew. The 10-year-strong foursome (Tant, Unga, Dezo, and Kip) have a hypnotizing and intricate style which recalls 1960’s psychedelic posters, old school American comics, and B-rated horror flick poster typography…
Ever wonder what the Hoopoe (national bird of Israel) looks like in the creatively bursting brain of Tel Aviv-based illustrator/art director Gal Shkedi? Well, thanks to this uber-approachable ad campaign by BBDO Israel for the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, you now know: scruffy and chamood (cute) but a wee bit depressed-looking too — the standard chasm that exists in so many of Shkedi’s riotous characters…
With so much to tackle every day and to-do lists littering my digital and analog organizers, it’s easy to forget what a spectacular city I live in. Lucky for me, while browsing FreeWilliamsburg.com, I came across Sam O’Hare’s breathtaking time-lapse tilt shift video “The Sandpit”. The spectacular montage is full of those in-between Big Apple moments that lift NYC to the top of the metropolis crop. One of the fascinating aspects of the film is how elegantly pedestrians and cars dance around each other – and just how much foot-traffic we have here! The clips of our harbors and quays feel like they carry centuries of the city’s past with each lapping wave and bobbing sailboat. Quiet moments of our parks and rooftop gardens are contrasted by busy little Caterpillar trucks and forklifts that seem to predict a robotic future we’re headed towards. Be sure to check out the Q&A with the director (represented by Aéro Film) AeroFilm.com! And if you’re a total time-lapse tilt shift junkie, swing over to our NYC Marathon post for more!
OK! So, I’m starting a new section here on Lo’s List – perhaps too ambitious for my own good, but sometimes you need something as huge as the blogosphere to kick your ass back into a good habit. Running Shorts will be quick, running-related posts. One run for me here in Brooklyn, one Running Short for the blog. As a motivator – a veritable shame-o-meter – I will be posting the length of each run as well as the sum total mileage at the start of the post. So, without further dilly dallying, lets watch some marathoners in motion! Kudos to Mehmet Dokumcu for this juicy stop-motion piece of this year’s New York City Marathon. The photographer shot one frame every five seconds with his Canon EOS 5D between race miles 6 and 7 on 4th Avenue in Brooklyn. Now… Doesn’t that just make you want to go out for some interval training?!
