Morning Linkage (Feb 2)

Trans­porta­tion

The 2 door sta­tion wagon (or is that 3 doors?) has always been a bit of an odd fish. But Fer­rari thinks that it’s the answer to the demand for a four seat super-car, the FF. And Pin­in­fa­rina can make just about any­thing beau­ti­ful. I think 12 cylin­ders is all the jus­ti­fi­ca­tion it needs. With Ferrari-in-the-snow video good­ness Woot!

I’m a total sucker for Nick Clements videos. Pre­ten­tious as hell and too hip for their own cool. Still… pretty scenery, pretty bikes, and gor­geous cin­e­matog­ra­phy. Fea­tur­ing Cro Custom’s BS1.  (Video)

Chopcult  pro­vides a fine set of images and info on the BS1 and the builder, Cro Custom’s, site has a cou­ple of other more typ­i­cally chop­per bikes.

Arty inte­rior shots fea­tur­ing motor­cy­cles, and the bikes are for rent to use in your own shoots. The care­fully dis­tressed Cross­bones is, well… actu­ally, a really appeal­ing piece of rolling sculp­ture. Gen­try Day­ton is cre­ative direc­tor of EvaGentry.

Art, Images, and Design

Ray Cae­sar is one of the many painters cur­rently doing pal­lid, big-headed girls in peril. Much of a much­ness, except that once in a while he does some­thing that stops me dead. Like the sleigh and courtier in  Home­com­ing. (Par­don the hell­ish URLs — they are shortened ;)

View the full show, A Gen­tle Kind of Cru­elty, at Jonathan Levine Gallery’s web­site. (Some NSFW when zoomed)

Elab­o­rately com­posed pho­tographs can go either way for me. Some are just noise, oth­ers like the first two of these from Simon Proctor’s Daystar series cap­ti­vate me. The videos cre­ated from the stills and other ele­ments I’m very much on the fence about.

I’ve always loved the Burr puz­zles. Now there’s this… Burr tables!

More about the Burr puz­zles. (oh lordy that’s one seri­ously ugly web­site but it’s all I’ve got…)

Mov­ing Images, and Animation

Did you know that there was a Japan­ese ver­sion of the Flint­stones pro­duced in the 1980s? Nope, nei­ther did I. It’s a giggle.

Danc­ing robots… I said, Danc­ing Robots. New ident spots for (UK) Chan­nel 4’s, T4 pro­gram­ming. (Video and loud music)
