Don’t shake these drawings too vigorously

30th May

Everyone has owned an Etch A Sketch at some point. If, like me, you managed to draw little more than a misshapen stick man, you’re sure to be impressed by the handiwork of “artists” etchasketchist and Etcha.

Meet Adobe Illustrator

28th May

2008

With Adobe due to release the CS4 software suite sometime in the near future, I thought a trip down memory lane would be a good idea and found a link to the original demonstration video (recorded on VHS) for Adobe Illustrator 1.0.

Tubular animal magic

22nd May

2008

The tube is like Paris Hilton - slow, expensive and very hot.

To help relieve boredom during your next journey, why not spot the many hidden animals that populate the tube map.

The new “I Love New York” branding by Saatchi & Saatchi has been unveiled alongside the new state tourism website. As you can very clearly see from the image below, it’s an incredible rejuvenation of a much-loved brand - well worth every last cent of the purported $17 million fee.

It’s the Cans (not Cannes!) Festival

30th April

2008

Street artists of the world descend upon London in May for the Cans Festival, billed as a “street party of stencil art”. Artists include Lucamaleonte, Orticanoodles, John Grider, Artiste-Ouvrier and more (like some fella called Banksy, who I presume is this chap).

The festival runs from 3rd - 5th May, with the exact location revealed on Friday 2nd May at 10.30am via the official website.

London based artist Migy is a talented illustrator, animator and painter. His website boasts an abundance of niceness; there’s even a shop too.

Migy has done some great animation work, but it’s not particularly easy to find on his site. So, to save you the bother, dear reader, why not check out this, this and indeed this.

Bravo that man.

The Supermundane website has been updated with much niceness. It’s jolly nice - my digital niceometer is registering a solid 8.5. High fives to Anorak for the tip-off.
