After Two Months of Sitting as a Draft...

I originally made this post on December 19th, 2008. I never got a chance to add everything I wanted to add and thought I'd have a chance during my Christmas break to revise the post. Little did I know, I'd be one busy, popular bee scheduled to the max with dates and gatherings! Here this post is, finally. Some of my favourite finds are in here, especially the little French girl's videos! Enjoy!

I think I found the cutest little girl in France who should become the next J.K. Rowling. Or, she could be an actress and win an Oscar. Too cute!

The light-hearted pastel colours in Shimoda Hikari's illustrations are actually disguises for her underlying dark themes.

MTV in Canada is nowhere as creative as MTV Europe, which commissioned a short with the song "No Limit" by 2 Unlimited.

Learn the brief history of communication in one minute with a brilliant stop-motion film.

Some hilarious drawings by Wilhelm Staehle for Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre—clever, witty and somewhat cynical. More here.

Ever heard of a Singing Highway? There's one in Lancaster, CA created for a Honda commercial.

Another highway, this time in South Korea, can sing "Mary Had a Little Lamb"! (Also check out the behind the scene footages starting here.)

experimental. innovative.

*I have been having major trouble accessing lookbook.nu for the last several days. I wish I could feature more outfits, but I can't see a single thing. If anyone know what is wrong or can help me fix this issue, please contact me.

When I saw this, my mouth dropped. Ice sculptures have been made for dozens of years and we always marvel over them. The melting process is evidently more interesting as shown by the following project titled Melting Men.

A project by Nadine Grenie, a message is posted every 12 hours with more than 500 clocks. At my initial sighting of this project, I thought that it was clever she used clocks and positioned them to create a phrase. At second thought, these clocks are ticking. A minute later, each letter would be skewed as the hands would no longer be in the right position, which is why the message is only displayed every 12 hours. What a ingenious idea.

Michael Oswald created some brilliant art to depict androids, more specifically, a gynoid. Very futuristic and beautiful.

polaroids with love

There's so much great stuff I want to show off today, most of which are photographs that are truly phenomenal. I'll break this down into a few entries as I should be writing my 3000-word essay on Lipstick Jungle instead of looking up daily inspirations. I can't help it; there are too many wonderful things in the world waiting to be discovered and publicized.

Let's start with some Polaroids found on the_polaroids of LiveJournal:

Andrea Joseph has finished her first ever Moleskine in which the entire book is of sepia illustrations. Her drawings are brilliant and she is undoubtedly one of my favourite illustrators ever. I follow her work on Flickr and her blog avidly. Do check her out!
