Femme (embedded QuickTime), a French viral for AIDS awareness or something, takes a look at the romantic exploits of a young girl as she grows up. Cartoon nudity and explicit situations abound so don’t watch it at work or if you’re bothered by that kind of thing.

I was expecting to like Remastered more than I did. The idea is that they give contemporary artists classic works of art, and ask them to give their take on the work. Some of the work is really interesting, but some of it seems to be too influenced by the original or worse, not influenced…

I hate, hate, hate the fact that the page resizes my browser window, but Ugly Green Shirt is a pretty nice bit of animation all the same.

Delivery is an animated short made by Till Nowak. It sort of reminded me of that animated short — I think it was called “Smile” — the one with the guy that invents the product that makes people happy. Same kind of dingy world view. Anyway, certainly worth the download.

Spike Jonze did a nice ad for Adidas (QuickTime). Shoes used to be magical. With the right pair, you could run faster, jump higher. This seems to capture some of that spirit with a dream like quality to it all.

Somebody who uses an alphabet I can’t read draws a woman from the skeleton up. It’s sort of an interesting effect. I was hoping the artist was going to use color and get to something that looked closer to real. It’s all just lines to indicate shape and shadow though. Still, kind of interesting to…

The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (yeah, I never heard of it either) has an online exhibit called Now Then. It features current artwork from a bunch of illustrators and also drawings they did as kids. The contrasts aren’t as interesting as I would have expected them to be, but some of these artists…

Grandaddy’s Nature Anthem Video is disgustingly happy. I mean like, “I’d like to buy the world a Coke” happy. Still, for some reason, the little squirrels really made me laugh.

I’m linking the pseudo training film, Make Mine Shoebox, because it has the line “Shortly after the deadline has past, the artist will begin to think about submitting his work to the Art Director for approval.” Now, that’s a really funny line. The rest of it is funny too, but not quite as funny. Still,…

I always loved Calvin and Hobbes. In particular, I always loved Calvin’s psychotic snowman creations. Some guy has been recreating them with actual snowmen. It almost makes me miss the snow. No, that’s a lie. It doesn’t even come close to making me miss snow. It is pretty sweet though. And, by sweet I mean…
