My new favorite opening credits

WOW

This being a Gaspar Noé movie I probably won't watch it but this title sequence is my new favorite. Halfway through, the type goes completely insane. I love it.

Stickers I made for my friends in Noco!



I helped the band Noco with their video shoot, and I got the idea for these stickers afterward!

TV show openings from way back when

I was going through Youtube user bobtwcatlanta's videos and realizing that TV show openings from the '60s to early '90s are a thing of beauty. Especially when you see an actor you know pop up in a show you never knew existed! I love how they showcase these actors by putting together snippets of their characters' best moments and making a sort of feel-good collage.

Go here for a total nostalgia-fest: http://www.youtube.com/user/bobtwcatlanta

Design Inspiration: Yusuke Nagano

Just discovered Yusuke Nagano's illustration work at The Strange Attractor.

My inspiration comes from drawing anything and everything that comes my way. I truly enjoy it so much that it's a pleasure for me to draw anything, Industrial motors, people, nature or fantasy pictures, I enjoy it all. I find it important to work and exchange ideas with young people who have the same passion, the same view of life, New perspectives keep me going.

Design Inspiration: Superbrothers

I've taken way too long to post about Superbrothers, a pixel artist from Canada. I remember falling in love with the look and feel of his videos when I discovered his website last year. His characters are very abstract but he still maintains a high level of detail, and the animation is incredible.

I looked to Jordan Mechner‘s Prince of Persia and Eric Chahi‘s Out of this World as well as the original Super Mario Bros, and I began to make some discoveries of my own. I began to avoid curves and outlines, deploying ‘jaggies’ carefully, keeping the focus on carefully calibrated fields of color and a sparse approach to pattern and texture. I experimented with less cumbersome stick-limbed pin-headed pixel rigs, which has since become my aesthetic preference. Eventually I began to see a distinct style develop – it seemed fresh, clean and absolute.
