Virgilio Santos & Maximalism

Dzark Design Bureau do print, interactive, and motion work - trying to blur boundaries of art/design. Get in touch with them via the website... Graphic Designer Virgilio Santos is the big daddy behind the organisation.

Eamo Donnelly

"G'day all you blokes and sheilas"...Eamo Donnelly's website. Love the way his style seems so dirty but execution is so clean. Cool site too if you like milk cartons.

Monaux

Monaux/ Karl Kwasny is an Australian based illustrator who's doing some cool stuff. In his words: "Hello, I'm Karl. I was born in 1984", meet Karl more intimately at his website.

Tatsumi Takuya

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!

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.

Great visual gag.

Upload yourself

Upload something
Simple gallery experiment - upload something, anything. Imagery is totally uncencored so sometimes its a bit nasty...
Similar to phonebin.com
Alternatively, If you're easily offended maybe try pixelhustle.com

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.

Adicolor

The Mill - Bob Monkhouse

The Mill have bought Bob back to life!!!! With computer magic he is here talking about his death and what killed him,,, freaky, I'm sure he would have loved it though.
They also made those wicked new Orange ad's and this great pillow fight ad.

Calculators

polygraph
A nice collection of old school calculators.

Google earth and ad's

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

Example

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.
Thought this beer matt would be nice for such an idea. Pretty classic design, the brewery is a great one too.
