Merry Xmas

I haven't posted anything for ages, but I haven't forgotten you guys.
So I'm wishing you, and those around you, a fantastic Christmas and an awesome year to follow.
Hopefully 2009 will bring a new "Advertising etc" ;)
All the best guys.

I have to thank Bob for sending me this great tip. You'll find some absolutely fantastic posters on this website. They're all 60s & 70s posters for X-Rated Movies.

Flairs: Better than Prince

Awesome hand drawn animation on this music video for Flairs.

This is the description of the process: "Handmade, 3000 paper sheets, a simple printer-computer & scanner trio, 7 black ink pencils, sometimes drawn in a Tokyo Hotel room, a Paris studio or on a Madonna video shoot in London, it's black & white simplicity suits the track like the best wedding possible...."

How We Met

I'm sure some of you, or even most of you have seen this cute stop motion animation. Anyway, if you haven't, watch it, if you have seen it before, watch it again. Very nice animation and with a great soundtrack by Son of Dave. It is actually a promotion for the Samsung G800, as you can find in the website "zoom in to see".

Eye Petrol

Eye Petrol is an online magazine, in which its content is online user generated, basically you submit your work, and if it's good enough, you and the world will see it in the downloadable magazine. So if you want to show off your work, here's a good chance.


Thanks to Bob Ferraz for the tip.
