You’re sitting in your seat, just as calmly as you please when you stop to take some video out the window. And when you look at the footage you rub your eyes trying to make sense of the turbine blades that seem to be melting away from the propeller housing. You wish they would just [...]

Raygun Rocketship
San Francisco’s Pier 14 has been playing host to a series of sculptures fresh off the Playa. Through Sept 2011 down by the water is The Raygun Gothic Rocketship, a 25 foot tall creation by Raygun labs and commissioned by the Black Rock Arts Foundation. For more 10 Times One photography, to purchase or to [...]
The Creation of a Las Vegas Classic in Time-Lapse
While not quite the same as a 3-year-long exposure photo, a video that documents a two-and-a-half-year building project shortened down to 30 seconds is pretty amazing. I don’t know about you but I’m endlessly astounded at how massive projects like these happen, always trying to visualize the scope of the endeavor, in my head manufacturing [...]
If World War One Was A Bar Fight
Germany, Austria and Italy are standing together in the middle of a pub when Serbia bumps into Austria and spills Austria’s pint. Austria demands Serbia buy it a complete new suit because there are splashes on its trouser leg. Germany expresses its support for Austria’s point of view. Britain recommends that everyone calm down a [...]
Creature Punk and Keith Thompson
Keith Thompson has a rare form of imagination, a rushing floodgate of fleshy, organic macabre—formidable, you might say, acting on you like a psychotropic drug bringing on subtle yet terrifying changes in your emotional state. His illustrations are scenes of war, pestilence, violence and decay each rendered with such a loving skill you might be [...]
True Colors – A Quintessenz Creation
Stop-motion animations are more elaborate than ever, each new artist upping the ante for those to come after. That being said, there’s some fantastic videos around nowadays that are taking the art form in new directions, for the benefit of all of us. Taking cues from Blu and other sto-mo masters comes another group fine-tuning [...]
Going Google-less – A Week Without Google
A week ago on my blog, I posted my pledge to go one week without Google. It was inspired, in part, by the Google/Verizon proposal for the future of high speed and wireless internet that was devised in closed-door meetings, in secret, while the same discussions were being had with the FCC and other major [...]
Super Heathen Child – Get Your Washcloth Ready
I love Grinderman. They’re raunchy, they’re unapologetic, they’re out for pussy and completely willing to have a masturbating monkey as their debut album cover. Of course, Grinderman is not Nick Cave no matter what the people say, though it’d be impossible to remove his musical sensibilities from the Grinderman aesthetic. He is there in every [...]
Lend Me Your Rears, Please!
There’s a new kind of bravado in town, one that isn’t afraid to insult your mother, talk shit about religion or mess around with subjects like eating babies or having a good time with the farm menagerie. One’s dainty buttons must be pushed every once in awhile, just to make sure you haven’t gotten soft. [...]
