Hallo dear NvP readers! I’m so sorry for the lack of posts. My school work has been taking up most of my time (practically every waking moment). During my first term at Art Center, I revisited the times of all-nighters, ramen, and highly-caffeinated drinks.
Only now have I able to breathe a little easier and take in some of the fine galleries and sights that I missed my first few months in California. But enough excuses… and now for today’s inspirational clip: Mark Ryden painting Pink Lincoln for this past April’s exhibition, The Gay 90’s – Olde Tyme Art show, at the Paul Kasmin Gallery, New York.
OK GO is responsible for a lot of my procrastination. They made me want to dance along with A Million Ways, and I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve replayed their synchronized treadmill dancing video for Here It Goes Again.
WTF? is the lead single off the bands forthcoming third album, Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky, slated for release on January 12, 2010.
Masters of the single-take, OK GO does it again. This music video for WTF? is no different, except that there’s no dancing, Tim is not lip syncing to Damian’s vocals, and there’s a lot more green screen and gaffer tape. Take a look at the pretty colors and Muybridge trails:

Watching Milton Glaser’s magical color pencil move and make forms makes me want to draw!
For me, drawing has always been an absolutely primary way of encountering reality. I’m astonished by drawing. I always think of every drawing as a kind of miraculous occurrence.

HunterGatherer is an award-winning design, illustration, animation and production studio founded by Todd St. John. Here’s a look into their creative process.
It’s more an enjoyment of the craft and of the process and being able to work with tactile things instead of computer models, although those are fun sometimes too… I spend very little time knowing sort of what’s going on with the latest camera or software or things like that and probably more time and trying to come up with custom ways of doing stuff. If you can have a process that’s different, you’re going to have a result that’s different.
