New site for nude crowd photography Spencer Tunick. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but it helps to jog your memory (you remember.. that huge masssive crowd of nude people lying down filling unbelievable amounts of space?). Oh, and a little bonus for the site is that Bryan coded it.. so if it breaks on you, he's the man to contact. But I think he did a great job, works very well for me and looks good.. simple and clean.

Woah, distraction extraordinaire! Flash Curling!

Work out your spacebar holding skills over at !guana - and end up viewing some pretty cool works.

It may be called Haphazard Studios but the sites being produced here aren't "dependent upon or characterized by mere chance" (dictionary.com of course). Lots of really well thought out sites, good attention to detail, and definetly some animation skills. The VS battles in the personal portfolio aren't anything to shy away from either...

Thank you Fugitive Alien for the news about Family Guy AND Futurama coming to DVD - and Region 1 releases even!

Xerox film short goodness right here. I prefer it with the music nixed. Curious Pictures indeed (loads and loads of stuff to watch)...

The site may not reflect it but Richard Avedon has done some of the most wonderful portrait photography to date. So if you aren't familiar with him.. at least check out the few samples they have on the site, and then buy me the Richard Avedon: Made In France book. Seriously.

Holy crap, spend enough cash at Gateway and they'll give you a free computer. Dang.. maybe now is the time to buy a laptop.. but a Gateway laptop.. hrm...

Version 2 of tokidoki is up and it's got plenty of cute cartoons / japanese ladies to spare. Lots of works to look at and every bit of it good stuff.. alot of really stylized characters.

If anyone deserves a copy of Sneaker Freaker, it's Nick (who has the severe lowdown on all things Christmas). And DiK is giving away copies, just for pictures of people with sneakers... oh. and the site actually has some worthwhile art of sneakers if you're at all interested...

It's a Christmas themed version of Marble Madness called Snowglobe Simon!... well, it's actually a bit more inventive than that (you gotta collect presents and you're not a marble). Same basic movement dynamics though.

"...it could have been anything from a weird art project to a publicity stunt..." - I'm going with "weird art project" to invoke thought regarding 'letting them win.' Because in many cases.. they already have.

Brilliant navigation (all of it - primary and secondary), super clean design, imaginative and fun - all at Bukwild. That should tide you over for the weekend.

Check out the simple, yet elegant, portfolio of Geoff Alday. I've always had a fondness for the WRLT site and the Duncan May site is quite nice as well. I'm not saying it's restricted to just those being good.. but they are the ones that stand out initially to me. Nice werks.

New t-shirts and hoodies available at Silent Uproar - as well as their winter mp3 compilation - featuring several tracks chosen by yours truly.

Some Canadian officials want to legalize pot for kids 16-yrs and older... but it seems that will get shot down and decriminalization will be more likely to happen - fines for 30g or less. I'm not a pot smoker but I do believe that people being sent to jail for a small amount of marijiuana is ridiculous (especially with no intent to re-sale).

Read Sean Penn's letter to the President. Loads of valid points and it's not angry.. it's pleading. Alot of people think actors / musicians should keep their mouth shut on issues like these because they are no more important than anyone else just because they are "famous" but I disagree - they have a chance to have their voice be heard that the common person does not. Why not "use that power for good"? Instead of just squandering it away.

Don't believe the hype. Grafiti does not hurt. It incites and provokes thought if anything - and it certainly helps an artist express themselves. It's alot like file-sharing actually.. do it responsibly and it can be a great thing - abuse it and you'll ruin it for everyone. You know what hurts? The fact that someone wants you believe that this photo is even a tiny bit realistic... noone paints in a suit and tie, especially with a roller in a back alley.

Some beautiful photography at k23. The "red" set and "around town" are probably my favorites.. lots of good stuff.

New stuff from UPSO.
