Kudos goes to the The Mathematical Society of Traffic Flow in Japan, who recently modelled what regular motorway drivers have known for sometime. Unnecessary braking causes traffic jams!

Some stunning photography of Chicago, 5 years ago, by Terry Evans.
Surreal paintings of buildings
Roughly translated as ‘Fashion Animals’, Thomas Couderc and Clement Vauchez present these eye-catching composites of animals on models (or models on animals). Cleverly displayed in the windows of a gallery with red and blue transparent strips in the glass, making the images appear to change for people who walk by.
A few really detailed renderings of a little yellow frog by Mathias Koehler who also constructed this incredibly detailed fly. His other 3d work is certainly worth checking out too.
Timelapse video of appreciation for the new Banksy on Essex Road, London shot during last Thursday’s lunch hour.

Some very nice fractal images from the enigmatically named -P-’s photostream. The best ones also tend to have links to very high res versions.
Classic transformer artworks by Mike Orduna, taking me right back to the days of real transformers (as opposed to the 3d ones with ‘personality’).
A whole short film created from cheesy animated word decorations particularly reminiscent of American television in the 80’s and 90’s.

French artist Axl Box has a very distinctive gothic style, and some fascinating works in his portfolio mixing hi-tech with that old 50’s charm.
These works occupy a singular new topography, situated between the familiar clichés and tropes of lighting design, scientific glassblowing and sculpture.
These are pretty interesting hand blown light bulbs by Dylan Kehde Roelofs. If you can’t cope with the artist’s appalling website, then bigger images are also available here.

Ok, not actually by Saul Bass, but if Star Wars had been made twenty years earlier this could have been the introduction.
