Tatsumi Takuya

Example
Example
A nice collection of body art photography, always envied people who are willing to turn themselves into a canvas like this. Quite iconic sometimes, the first shot pushes that angle - pretty powerful stuff, whereas the second just looks soft and beautiful. Tatsumi Takuya's website has quite a few examples.

Face your pockets!

Example
Face your pockets!
I have alsways thought that what you carry in your pockets everyday says alot about who you really are.
This nice site has a huge collection of scans of the contents of peoples pockets and their face.
The above image is mine, I look so hansom. (James)

Drawing game


This video really reminds me of a game me and Joe used to play in lectures, where we would finish off each others drawings then pass it back and it would go on and on, for a whole professional skills lecture. No wonder thats probably our weakest grade, however those lecrues did spawn the birth of James&Joe.

Red



Reminiscent of a project we did all about the colour red, where we described the experience of viewing "Red" to a blind person. I doubt this video would serve the same purpose but still a good reference.

Google earth and ad's

Example
robert sollis
Artsist quote:
"If ‘Royal College of Art’ is searched for on Google Maps a marker with an 'A' identifies the college building. As half the college is exhibiting in the park this year I asked Google to place another marker over the park to let users know where we are. Google didn't respond to the request so this marker has been made in order to solve the problem. Each carpet tile is a square of 185mm. This corresponds to one pixel of information on the Google Maps satellite image."

Google earth is allover the urmmm earth

The world’s popular men’s magazine Maxim celebrated its 100th issue in style. A giant billboard of Eva Longoria has been constructed near vegas and can be see via satellite images from Google Earth.

Beer mat.

All creative's go on about that great idea that came to them in the pub and was then jotted down on a beer matt.
