Transportation
Superimposed time-lapse photography. Stoner does the corkscrew. I’m dizzy.
So here’s the thing. We all know about art cars. (and most of them are sht) But what about art bikes? No pasted on dolls heads or racks of bubble machines here. Just an R‑80 with some excellent metal work and a couple of bits of jetsam that got caught in the backwash.
H‑D. 883. Details are everything. Check the heat shields and the matte black finish with the glossy black pinstripes. Rough Craft out of Taiwan. Spend some time with their blog as well.
The venue is a toy modder’s forum. That’s about all I can tell you other than that this moto toy is six kinds of nightmare inducing awesome.
Art, Images, and Design
Japanese posters from the 30’s. Showing the influence of both western design and western communism in messages for the proletariat.
More posters. The movie genre that brought you Reefer Madness produced 100’s more, equally salacious, movies in the 40’s and 50’s. Golden Age Comics collected the lobby posters for you. Cat women of the Moon, Juvenile Jungle, and Alimony — gasp. (NSFW — squicky)
Classical themes and compositions Francois-Emile Barraud painted in the early 20th century. An undeservedly obscure painter. (NSFW artistic nudes)
Book arts and animation. “This is Where We Live” by ATP and Asylum Films. Take a walk through a world of books.
