Tokujin’s very diverse body of work masterfully exists as both amazing works of design and art. Very few are truly able to achieve this without a feeling of self-indulgence. This display (just like all of his other work) is just so damn elegant too.

This music video created for electronic artist Akira Kosemura was shot entirely on an iPhone 3G without video using the QuadCamera application. The combination of the music and the visuals create a calming, almost hypnotic effect. It’s exciting to see artists leveraging this (relatively) low-tech camera. Kind of reminds me in a way of how videographers were using the Fisher-Price PXL2000 in the 90’s.
Beautiful visualization of an interview with John Lennon informally taken by a 14-year old Beatles fanatic who somehow managed to sneak into Lennon’s hotel room. The illustrations here are reminiscent of Push Pin Studios and Terry Gilliam’s Monty Python work.
It’s impressive to see an old scratchy lo-fi voice interview be brought to life in such a dynamic way. It’s also fun to see Gilliam’s collage style taken to a new place and fused with more contemporary techniques. The group managed to get a serious message across with an almost humorous and whimsical approach.
Photography Tone does an amazing job of capturing the energy, the grit, and the haze of New York nightlife.

I was lucky enough to stumble into a huge gallery installation of Jacques Villeglé‘s work a few years ago. Villeglé, who began making art in 1947, creates his collages by gluing layers of posters together, then ripping of sections to reveal what’s underneath.
