I have to break my Tumblr silence (I’ve been lurking all along, just haven’t posted in forever) and re-blog this piece by Libranta because it’s one of my favorite Breaking Bad designs I’ve seen. I love Breaking Bad and am super sad it’s ending, but I am so excited about the final episode. Vince Gilligan, the writers, cast, and crew have created something truly masterful and the show will certainly go down in the annals of television history. However things go down on sunday, I’m happy to be along for the ride! Here’s to you Walt & Jesse!
Not much is better than a wonderful Fleet Foxes song paired with beautiful imagery. In this case Robin’s (lead singer) brother Sean Pecknold directed this insanely awesome video for the song The Shrine / An Argument, featuring the incredible illustration work of Stacey Rozich. We are taken on a strange journey in a strange world driven by mystical creatures and landscapes. Each frame is breath-taking, I can’t imagine the amount of time, work, and care that went into this project. The style of the piece is flawless. The animation extremely well done. Sean and company have created a truly stunning piece and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
Matt Wisniewski creates these haunting collages by juxtaposing found images. The final piece leaves us in a strange world where nature and humanity intersect.
Apparel company Ugmonk just released a gorgeous wood ampersand in their online store. This beauty would be perfect for any living space. The limited run piece is, “18-inches tall balances effortlessly on a hand-buffed textured steel plate thanks to a super-strong magnet hidden in its base. The hand-finishing process and natural materials give each ampersand a varying wood grain and finish making each one a truly one of a kind art piece.” It is a little pricey for my blood, at $299, but would certainly make everyone jealous if you had it. Pick one up here.
Allison Schulnik who created the incredible claymation Grizzly Bear video has once again composed a masterpiece in Mound. Her art is other worldly. Just watch and you’ll be taken away to a different time and place. Great music and beautiful visuals.
Simply gorgeous Typeface Film poster for the Manchester UK screening. Hand drawn type etched into wood, individually inked up and printed on an Albion Press at Hot Bed Press. This kind of work gets my blood pumping. If you don’t know about the film, “Typeface focuses on a rural Midwestern museum and print shop where international artists meet retired craftsmen and together navigate the convergence of modern design and traditional technique.” Check out the trailer here.
Originally designed in 1955 by architect Willis N. Mills this gorgeous house however went neglected through various ownerships and lack of maintenance and repairs. Bassamfellows swooped in to revive this mid-century gem to it’s originally glory. Over the course of two and a half years they added, subtracted, constructed, tore down and reconstructed the residence into what you see above. Beautiful paneled wood and natural stone cover the exterior to perfectly compliment the surrounding Connecticut woods. Huge glass panels open up the interior to natural light and the impressive scenery. Overall, the Bassamfellows managed to fully reinvigorate this modern home into a perfect example of the way Mid-Century Modern was supposed to be.
Get a load of these insanely gorgeous floodplain maps. The 1944 vintage beauties are from the Geological Investigation of the Alluvial Valley of the Lower Mississippi River and could double as a piece of art. Seriously where do I get one of these? Check out more here.
Check out these incredible posters for the House Industries & Eames LTR Exhibit at the Herman Miller Japan Showroom. Pick up one of the limited edition serigraphs here.
The always amazing If We Don’t, Remember Me has posted a bunch of new GIFs since my last post. If you aren’t familiar with the blog, they are self described as “a gallery of living movie stills." I thought I would pay homage to some of the great films of science fiction. If you don’t already, follow these guys.
