Bonsai Kitty Plush by Thinkgeek:

“A long time ago in a distant galaxy, no one knew what a meme was. “Meme?” they asked. “What the heck is a meme?” Then the Internet arrived to teach everyone. One of the earliest and most enduring memes was the poor case of the Bonsai Kitten. You may recall that the evil Dr. Chang was doing nefarious experiments to raise tiny kittens in jars. As they grew, the kitten’s supple bones would mold themselves into the shape of the jar and become even more… cute?”

Beautiful watercolor paintings by artist Danny Quirk:

“My anatomical works combine classic poses, in dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, with a very contemporary twist… illustrating what’s underneath the skin, and the portrayed figure dissects a region of their body to show the structures that lay beneath.”

Couldn’t find the source for this, but it’s incredible!

To advertise its brand new smartphone, Motorola hired a very talented guy named Chris Beckman. You may have heard of him because in 2010 he won the Vimeo Awards in the Experimental Category, a competition for short films and videos that experiment with new ideas, forms, techniques, and expressions that are often characterized by the absence of a linear narrative. His video, called Oops,is a collection of “accident” clips sourced from YouTube, seamlessly stitched together via a motif of camera drop:

“From suburbia to subterranea, the radically shuffling environs induce a vertiginous yet aesthetically contextual thread—a transcendent, reincarnating POV; our omnipresent Camera—by which, the nature of the ultra-verité videos, eschewing any filmic grounding, plunges the viewer into a relationship of fleeting immediacy w/ its many videographers: a self-portrait at arms length, the digital blur of an obscuring thumb, a disembodied narrating voice.”

Now Chris is at work again and made this brand new video for Motorola DEFY, a phone that is not only “life proof”, but also “boredom proof”! Check the vid below.
