Balls: Inspired by the athleticism and sports-loving nature of Australians, digital artist Mimi Leung started thinking about the huge variety of balls-related games out there, made a list of types of balls and set that list to music. She then took this idea and developed an animated video, hand drawn, frame by frame, for the song which focuses on speed, fluidity and…well…balls! This is awesome, enjoy! 🙂
K. Henderson: We love these hyperrealist paintings by American artist K. Henderson, who pays tribute to her childhood with still lifes composed of vintage toys, books, board games and comics, mainly from pop culture of the 60s and 70s. Awesome work! 🙂
Teletubbies: We LOVE the Teletubbies performing “I Fink You Freeky” by Die Antwoord in the latest awesome edit by Robert Jones. Happy Friday, everyone! 🙂
The Hateful Eight: The Hateful Eight, starring Kurt Russell and Jennifer Jason Leigh, is the eighth feature film by director Quentin Tarantino about a group of dangerous bounty hunters trapped together in post-Civil War Wyoming. The first official trailer features a number of actors from Tarantino’s earlier films returning to work with him again including Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, and Michael Madsen. Looks great, check it out below 🙂
Ta7rich: We love the funny and very cute illustrations of Ta7rich, a Tunisian illustrator who likes to imagine the little adventures of everyday objects in some offbeat and humorous situations. Great stuff! 🙂
SpinChill: We can’t believe we didn’t think of this – SpinChill is a small device that quickly chills drinks in bottles and cans by spinning them in ice. The SpinChill can chill a can in one minute, a bottle of beer in three, and a bottle of wine in five. Seems its smooth spinning motion helps avoid foaming typically associated with shaking a drink before opening it, and the device can chill up to 300 drinks before requiring new batteries. Love. Want. Need. Perfect for the beach esky this summer…party on! 🙂
Jason Peterson: We LOVE ‘Follow me into the Dark’ – a selection of beautiful, black and white Instagram photographs by Jason Peterson, which capture various, contrasting cities, people and urban landscapes in dark yet captivating images. Amazing contemporary work!
Meet the Villain: Do we really appreciate our sinners more than our saints? In movies we most often do. In this fantastic four-part montage that highlights the truly ‘worst of the worst’, CLS Videos have weaved together years of memorable and iconic villains into ‘Meet the Villain’. This is awesome! Happy Friday, peeps 🙂
Mothmeister: We’re intrigued by the latest creations from artists Mothmeister who create somewhat frightening photographs that are caught between our worst nightmares and old-world taxidermy and feature objects from their vast cabinet of curiosities. Their Wounderland series leads us into a strange and disturbing world which is inhabited by scary creatures and deformed animals. Creepy as yet we love their haunting impact.
Lexus Hoverboard: Not too long ago, we posted that Lexus had created the hoverboard prototype we’ve all been dreaming of since Marty McFly flew through the air in Back to the Future II. Well, all skeptics will be happy to know…they actually have and there’s proof that the Lexus Hoverboard IS real! It seems Lexus aren’t really breaking any new ground here – all they’ve done is apply existing superconducting magnetic levitation technology. Industry experts who have tried the Lexus Hoverboard describe it as very difficult to ride yet at the same time unbelievably cool as you are levitating – the feeling so unique that they have nothing else they can compare it to, the closest is ice skating, but even that’s like comparing the finest silk to 300 grit sandpaper. So, is this finally Marty McFly’s hoverboard fully realised? Unfortunately not (insert tear). The Lexus hoverboard requires filling with liquid nitrogen every 10 minutes or so, and only works if your local skate park has several hundred thousand dollars worth of magnets built into its surface (the Lexus Hoverboard skate park was custom built). It’s also probably the most expensive thing Lexus currently produces, making its chances of hitting the store shelves anytime soon almost nil. However, none of that is the point…this is just so AWESOMEEEEEE!!! Check out all the videos below but the first one is a must watch. Enjoy! 🙂
