CD Artwork by Hubero Kororo
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…
SO good.
Here is a gallery of some of the results.

Kii Arens’ Radiohead Haiti Relief Poster
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.

Pig 05049
This is a pretty neat project by Christien Meindertsma. She spent three years researching all the products made from a single pig. Pig 05049 to be exact. Some of those products include ammunition, medicine, photo paper, heart valves, brakes, chewing gum, porcelain, cosmetics, cigarettes, conditioner and even bio diesel. The results were put into book form with pictures of all of the items from that single pig shown at 1:1 scale. Pretty freakin’ cool.
This project also won an INDEX award.

Saturday Morning Animation – The Lighthouse Keeper
Lorax Print by Mt. Pleasant Press
Will someone else please go buy this awesome print from Mt. Pleasant Press based on the Dr Seuss book The Lorax . I am not buying this even though I want to and it is a great deal at $30 considering there were only 20 made. Just too many other posters to frame at home and I am trying to save some money.
Saturday Morning Animation – Dock Ellis & The LSD No-No
The true story of Major League Baseball player Dock Ellis pitching a no hitter in 1970 while high on LSD. An amazing story as told by Dock himself. Dock sadly died last December at the age of 63.
Animation by James Blagden.
(Thanks to Joel Huggins from his twitter feed for this one!)
Vivian Maier – Her Discovered Work
Viviam Maier Was a street photographer from the 1950’s to the 1970’s. She was a native of France but lived for 50 years in Chicago where she took most of her images. She was very much unknown until now. A year before her death, John Maloof purchased a box of her negatives at an auction which had obtained her things from a storage locker that had delinquent payments. At that time, he had no idea what treasure he had: turned out to be about 30-40,000 negatives with some 10-15,000 still undeveloped.
He is now developing them and posting them on a blog.
