Bee Movie Renderings

Bee City by Zhaoping Wai

Ok, so I am not actually recommending anyone watches Bee Movie, it is as poor as the title suggests (a typical DreamWorks wanna-b-pixar movie). But this article at cgsociety is a great inspection of the visual design process, from drawing to rendering, which is pretty good even if it is let down by the plot.

It also has some great imagery, like the Bee City (pictured) by Zhaoping Wai.

Daisy

This is the latest in kinetic sculpture, recently installed at Changi Airport in Singapore, ‘Daisy‘ is a robotic arm with a propeller attached which tracks and follows passers-by. The piece was designed by Christian Moeller.

MotionPortrait

Interesting idea, the MotionPortrait is a 3D face animation which can be constructed using a 3d mesh and a bunch of images.

When combined they produce something really rather creepy

Excellent and slightly psychedelic renderings by Jonathan Ball.

Bon Bon, The Entertainer

stills from The Entertainer by Bon Bon

Fascinating visualisation by London-based video artist; Bon-Bon, combining light and sound in the way that music programs always promise but fail to deliver.

Also worth seeing some of his other work, especially Mind The Step another visualisation in a different style.

Classic Photographs in Lego

Tiananmen Square by Balakov

Lego reproductions of classic images by Mike Stimpson (Balakov), this being a lego recreation of ‘The unknown rebel‘.

Royally Minted

Royal Mint 2008 coins by Matthew Dent

Really nice to finally see some truly inspiring design on coinage. British graphic designer Matt Dent took part and won the new reverse designs competition which started in August 2005.

Which proves that one should never underestimate how slow bureaucrats can go when faced with really good design and much needed change.

Berlin, En Plein Air by Siggi Egertsson

I wanted to modernize the working methods of the Impressionists, who took their canvases outside and painted what was in front of them. My idea was to take my computer outside, and draw what i saw. This image was drawn on top of a 12 floor building in Friedrichshain.

Entitled ‘Berlin, En Plein Air’, brilliantly innovative and stylised work by Icelandic artist Siggi Eggertsson.
