Awesome Art

Cribble put the envelopes given to him by his university’s career department to send out resumes in to good use as the background for this imaginative and often nonsensical short animation.

Now through April 15th, 100% of the net proceeds of these cool art prints, magnets and keychains from ExBoyfriend go to help save the lives of animals through the Maryland SPCA. DJ Kitty FTW!

The title says it all for this awesome print from The Oatmeal. The perfect print for any kitchen, as Grizz spices up his kill with an ample dose of hot sauce. Signed by the artist and measures ~19″x27″.

Youtuber rikkitikkiberger captured the long process of lathing that woodturner Soren Berger uses to make one of his unique lampshades. Don’t worry, he repurposes all that scrap material.

Australian painter Jeremy Geddes often uses space travelers in urban environments as a motif in his hyperreal/surreal work. The results are amazing dreamlike images like these.

It was this epic poster for a Mastodon show that first drew us to designer/illustrator John Vogl’s work. Truth is that his great style and clever touch make it hard to find a print of his we don’t like.

Illustrator Stephen Wildish tries to make something witty each Friday. These film alphabets with clever graphics corresponding to each letter are great examples and available in plenty of print options.

There’s something strangely compelling about the way that the classic cello of Yo-Yo Ma perfectly complements the smooth moves of Los Angeles based dancer Charles “Lil Buck” Riley.

Daniel Franke and Cedric Kiefer created this digital sculpture by capturing the movements and sounds of a dancer using three Kinects, then rendering them into abstract volumetric 3D forms.

Samsung Portugal produced this eye-popping clip which features some of the coolest projection mapping we’ve seen – using a human being as the projection surface instead of a building or screens.

Someday a “book” will be but bits of data, just one of the many functions embedded in our gadgets. Here’s a look at the soon-to-be lost art of printing and bookbinding, courtesy of Glen Milner.

Sam Hallows made five illustrations of Star Wars characters, vehicles and ships. They’re bare sketches, but what makes them impressive is that they were each made with a single, continuous line.

You’ve probably seen pictures of this crazy room floating around the Web. Watch the video to see how graffiti artist Tilt and his friends created the split-personality Panic Room at Au Vieux Panier.

DeviantART member paperbeatsscissors matches characters from comics, videogames and cartoons and captions them with the sympathetic meme. Can you guess all the character connections?

Callum Cooper and John Kassab place us in a truly unique perspective – on the arc of a jumprope – as it twirls over the heads and under the feet of multiple jumpers. Dizzying and amazing.

Artist Willard Wigan uses a microscope to help create incredibly detailed miniature sculptures which reside in the tiniest of places – inside the eye of a needle. (Second hat tip to Faith is Torment.)

UK artist Derek Kinzett creates incredibly detailed sculptural figures using precisely formed lengths of wire. His life-size human forms are pretty amazing, but we’re partial to the motorcycle.

Artist Ryan Renders created this very clever and perfectly detailed bust modeled after one of the greatest mashups of evil ever conceived. Lightsaber Power Sword ftw.

“An epic multi-medium show celebrating all things Zelda.” Featuring works of over 30 artists who fell in love – just like millions of us – with Miyamoto’s masterpiece. Through 4/21 at Land Gallery.

Rob Higgs knows how to open a bottle of wine like a boss. Using hundreds of bronzed metal springs, gears and other parts, he built this incredible machine to uncork and pour a bottle of wine.

Arachnophobes look away! Cyriak fills our screens (and worst nightmares) with an endless barrage of animated spiders crafted from circuit boards, human heads, and other stuff. Get the Raid!

Kyle Lambert used his iPad to storyboard Toy Story 3 characters into classic scenes from The Shining. Awesome enough to get an invite from Pixar to bring them to the studio. (Thanks David!)

We’ve seen OhiseeRED use a basketball to paint. This time she uses a coffee cup, making ring-shaped stains to paint a portrait of Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou. It took her 12 hours to finish it.
