Timeline of Internet Memes

Internet Memes

Quite an interesting timeline of the popular trends which speed around the web, I can actually track the point in time where I lost interest in them.

Reverse Graffiti

Reverse Graffiti by Paul Curtis

Awesome idea, reverse graffiti is the technique of using stencils to clean urban walls creating fantastic street art without the spray paint.

Watch the documentary about the ‘professor of dirt’ Paul Curtis.

China Girls Anime Massacre

China Girls Anime Massacre by Chen Zhun

Anime-style photosession for FHM’s China distribution by Chen Zhun, very entertaining and innovative photography although some rather iffy photoshopping here and there.

TEN:15

Ten 15 Image by Chad Robert Springer

A pretty simple premise: designers, photographers, generally creative types can all email an image and have it posted on the site. The constraint: the image must be taken at exactly 10:15am.

Amazing to see what people see at the same time of day, everyday.

Facts of Rambo

All of the Rambo movies by the numbers.

Tekkon Kinkreet

Tekkon Kinkreet

A visually stunning anime adaptation of the wonderful manga by Taiyō Matsumoto. Tekkon Kinkreet is the story of two steet-kids attempting to keep ‘control’ of Treasure City, or ‘their city’ as they call it, and their struggle to ward off outside influences and the yakuza who want the city for themselves.

Tekkon Kinkreet is, by far, one of the best anime movies I have seen since Spirited away.

  • Official Site (including obligatory flash interface)
  • Tekkon Kinkreet on imdb
  • Tekkon Kinkreet trailer on YouTube
  • A collection of the stunning still shots from the movie
  • Interview with Eiko Tanaka, in-charge of bringing motion to the manga
  • Psychedelic Album Covers

    Psychedelic Album Covers

    Wonderfully creative and colourful, the psychedelic album covers of the late 1960’s.

    Mike Orduna’s Takara Transformers

    Takara Transformers by Mike Orduna

    Classic transformer artworks by Mike Orduna, taking me right back to the days of real transformers (as opposed to the 3d ones with ‘personality’).

    Evolution of Mario, Link and Donkey Kong

    Evolution of Mario, Link and Donkey Kong

    Really nicely compiled evolution of nintendo characters from their early pixely beginnings to their textured, three-dimensional current selves.

    Where to from here?
