Saturday Morning Animation – Evil Bee (Menomena)
Remember that awesome Ramona Falls video I posted a while back? Pretty cool, right? Well here is another one for Ramona Fall’s leader Brent Knopf’s other band Menomena, also animated by Stefan Nadelman. It is equally as good.
Clash/Robot
Not sure where I pulled this from. Found it on my desktop. Probably a t-shirt design. Anyway, who wouldn’t want a Robot striking the pose of that oh so iconic album?
Saturday Morning Animation – “I’m Impressed”
Oh, paper-craft. So fun to watch. And They Might Be Giants fun to listen to.

Keith Haring Shoes – “Ew boy.”
Kieth Haring has been dead for 20 years and they decide to drop these shoes? Simply awful.
Saturday Morning Animation – Codehunters
Sometimes certain animation shorts make me feel like I have the sensibilities of a 15 year old. This piece does that. But it is worth it. And I am OK with who I am.

This comes to me from designer and internet friend @Spoony_C. It is uniquely beautiful CD packaging by Hubero Kororo for Uceroz’s newest CD Pappeltalks. When you open the CD, a packet of ink saturates the inside of the front cover to create a unique experience for everyone as well as a one-of-a-kind cover. It really is a great idea sublimely achieved. As Spoony said, it is inspiring.
Watch it in action…

Radiohead had a benefit concert in LA last weekend to raise money for Haiti. They raised an amazing $572,754. There is a limited edition poster by Kii Arens of the event selling for $75 over at www.lalalandposters.com. Al proceeds go to OXFAM. Go get one. I did. Or just donate. (Note: This is a second edition of 250. The first edition of 100 sold out at lightning speed so do not wait on this. Just do it.)
UPDATE: The second edition has the RED background; The first edition has the YELLOW background. (Thanks commenter Neil!)
Already donated? DONATE AGAIN.

(Note: I just found out today that an old surfing friend of mine from Humboldt lost his fiance in the colapsed Hotel Montana in Haiti. He is there now trying to find her. Thinking of you, Eric…)
UPDATE: Received mine in the mail yesterday. Looks like I was quick enough to get a yellow one. It is BEAUTIFUL! The stock is unbelievably thick. The red ones are still available and even though the price is a bit steep, it is worth it. It will only increase in value too. People are already selling these on Ebay.

Saturday Morning Animation – Alma
Rodrigo Blaas and his animators did a really great job capturing facial gestures in this short. I loved the way she drops her shoulders walking into the shop when she sees what she is looking for. It is subtle and perfect. Great twist at the end too.
