Mr Doob has created a new browser based drawing experiment. This time you can collaborate with other visitors and create a masterpiece. Images spontaneously appear before your eyes, and partnerships are formed as you help other users with their creations. I helped user XXXL draw a face, they did the eyes and the nose and I aided by drawing the hair. There was no discussion, no planning, no permission, it just happened. It’s fun and feels nice, but be ready for someone scribbling over your pictures.

Ever wondered how a design agency does it’s work? This fantastic video by Meltmedia explains all.
“The premise of this short film is to represent the digital tools and interfaces we use daily in an analog way. In the analog office, your computer desktop becomes your actual desk, your inbox gets flooded with Spam cans, the server runs past you multiple times a day (and perhaps crashes every now and then), and Twitter users follow each other around the space. This concept is essentially just for fun but also reminds us just how digitally connected we all are.”

Every six months The Work Club commission an artist to decorate their 22 foot studio wall. Recently that opportunity went to illustrator and designer Matt Williams. Watch the video then take a closer look at the wall.

Landschaft Mit Haus, which translates simply as “Landscape with House”, is a series of great paintings from Maria Zaikina. I wouldn’t usually have taken an interest in ‘landscapes’ but I really like this simple collection of paintings, a refreshing take on the classic landscape. Read more

Berlin-based artist Hans Hemmert held a party not in the name of fun, as would normally be expected, but as a ‘platform’ to exhibit an idea. His partygoers were asked to wear shoe-extenders so they all stood at the same height of 2 meters.

This experimental animation was created in 1968 by some Russian scientists showing, even at the height of the Cold War, they had some time for fun. Each frame was created on computer out of letters, these were printed and filmed to make the above. It is slightly disturbing when the Kotenok’s (that’s Russian for kitten) head gets very big, but it’s very like the style of Russian children’s animation of the period.

These great pictures are by artist Dave Devries. Taking doodles and sketches from very young kids he re-imagines them into 3D illustrations. Using extra colour, textures, and shading he indeed makes them a lot scarier. Want some more? Here you go. Read more

I really like this huge Pop-Art type sculpture. Just a shame that it’s situated on the other side of the world as I’d love to see it in the flesh (metal). The sculpture is located in The Farm, a large private art park in New Zealand. The work was created by Neil Dawson and is entitled Horizons. Perhaps, we could have something like this in the island one day…

At a glance you might think that French artist Baptiste Dehombourg has drawn on to the wall, but no, this installation named Aggravure, is created with staples…
…35,000 staples! The artwork measures 2.7 x 2.5m and took 75 hours to complete.
I hope he doesn’t have to remove them afterwards!
