Maker vs Marker: an animator takes on his animation
This stop motion animation from Jonny Lawrence makes me wonder how hard artists find it to kill off their creations once they’re no longer needed. Mind you. There’s nothing to say characters created by artists have any intention of being killed off quickly or easily. Inspired by Street Fighter and with a great soundtrack, this […]

T-shirt: Triforce Art
How’s this for a t-shirt design? Says geek culture. Says cool. Says art. That’s a triforce combination of perfection. Designed by Bruno Clasca (aka Donnie) the tee is one of many he has for sale over at Redbubble. Many of his designs are available as hoodies and prints too. Well worth a look.
Short film: Modin
This animation by Lam Ho Tak and Ng Kai Chung Tommy is simple but effective. It’s the story of a robot on power save… but perhaps one of the functions that have been switched off was the irony sensor. Music by Kelvin Lau gives the animation a Western feel despite the robots. Hop on this […]
