2 of 50 Artistic Visions of Bart

The D.I.Y. Qee Project: BART Tour encouraged over 75 artists to modify a blank Bart Simpson toy using any means necessary, this included painting, metallizing, and encasing in carbonite.

Blu’s Fantoche, The Animated Room

This technique must have taken ages! A classic animation entirely painted on the walls of a room, turning what is everyday into something quite surreal.

Could This Be Banksy?

A Chap Painting a Banksy...does that make him Banksy?

The Londonist is reporting a sighting from one of their keen-eyed readers of this chap painting what can only be described as a Banksy…does this mean this is the famous masked artist from Bristol?

Interactive Hong Kong Sunset

An interactive sunset over Hong Kong

You control the time on this clever little flash image, it is made up from many images of Hong Kong’s skyline between 6pm and 8pm. Simply move the mouse up and down to control the passage of time…excellently simple, yet very compelling.

Geoffrey Mann’s 4D Sculpture

Flight Echo 2006 by Geoffrey Mann

Geoffrey Mann has a unique form for creating sculpture, he uses video of motion over a set period of time, then models the motion as a single shape. This results in very interesting and detailed forms.

His page explains it better…

Faces in Places

Just Grate by Albiedo

Seeing random faces in things is simply the human way, making websites so people can upload their images of faces in spaces is the entertainingly nerdly way.

Pretty surprising how many normal objects take on a personality.

Some stunning aerial photography by the very talented Alex Maclean, who also has one of the best all-flash websites I have seen (proving that it can be done properly).

Get Over It With Lee Walton

Get Over It

Kinda like slow motion parcour, performance artist Lee Walton doesn’t go around it, he gets over it.

Unfortunately his videos are notable by their absence on youtube, I can only assume he really wants to use his own bandwidth to serve them.

Theres Something In The Water Animation

An entertaining little hand-drawn animation by Jenn and Sara for V Water.

Scott Teplin’s Slum-Ber Lord

Scott Teplin's Slum-Ber Lord

Wonderful semi-architectural detailed drawings by Scott Teplin, the one above being his most recent weekly sketch. There is also his studio blog showing whats being worked on at the moment in a nice non-paginated format.

and yes…I know I already blogged this about 9 months ago, but I thought it was worth another post when I spotted it rolling around the web again.

The Rabbit and The Idol

A delightfully dark and classically stylised short film by illustrator Run Wrake, who officially has perhaps the most interesting biography in the world.

Visualisation of Time

A Visualisation of Time

This is a pretty interesting page where people are asked to submit their own drawings of how they visualise the fourth dimension (time).
