Otis Redding’s last performance the day before his tragic and untimely death at the tender age of 26. He will always remain one of the greatest soul singers to have graced the world.
I cannot believe that I had not seen this purely genius music video for Alex Gopher’s, “The Child” until now. Always been a fan of this song which features the sampled vocals of Billie Holiday. Antoine Bardou-Jacquet is the creator of this impressive animated video that is composed entirely of typographic elements. Set in New York City, the video follows a young couple rushing through the city to reach the hospital to have their baby delivered. Graphic designers and typography lovers will surely cream for this one.
There have been a lot of innovative advances in graffiti art to expand the artists canvas. “Tagged in Motion” is a project created by Hamburg graffiti artist DAIM, that eliminates a graffer canvas of a solid matter and unveils the ability to be able to tag in mid air, creating real-time graffiti in 3D, a virtual world of graffiti visible through 3D glasses.
The graffiti is captured using three camcorders with motion capturing. They record the graffer position and his exact motions he executes with a virtual spray can. By using the 3D glasses, the graffer can view his art in real time. Using a Bluetooth controller, the artist can pick and choose his colors, brush strokes and textures to enhance his floating 3D graffiti experience.
I just wiped the tears of laughter from my face so I could share this incredible video of my Governer from back-in-the-day. Here is Arnold in full sleaze mode as he takes us to Rio during the Carnival, sharing the festival’s delights and his love for women and their ‘assets’. Please watch the full video..you REALLY don’t want to miss any of this.
