Shonzilla, a pattern-seeking animal

There’s a kitty in every lion.

Absolute friendship between a man and 38 lions! This 34-year old South African animal behavioralist named Kevin Richardson has using his instincts and fair share of courage to tame lions and become friends with them. Some scratches are inevitable though. His magic not only works with lions, but hyenas, cheetahs and leopards too.

Damien Walters Showreel 2009

This guy, his acrobacy, flexibility and ability to keep momentum is amazing. I’m mind blown!

Thanks to Miloš for the hint.

This is one of the best creations with Cockney accent I’ve heard or seen. Next to Only Fools and Horses of course.

The song comes from “North of Ping Pong” collective from London. Magnificent directing comes from a creative guy with an unfortunately generic-sounding name of Adam Smith who has already directed video spots for another UK rapper The Streets and critically-acclaimed Galvanize from The Chemical Brothers. The excellent editing was done by another generic-sounding bloke named Joe Guest. I hope there

Something for my Serbian and ex-Yugoslav readers - Rambo Amadeus strikes back!

In this new video and the latest hit “Urbano, samo urbano” Rambo’s casual style dissects the nation’s mindset and lays some nice rhymes on top of relaxed jazzy tune.

High-Speed Robot Hand

The latest developments in robot design are pretty amazing. I guess in several years they might become pretty good soccer and baseball players. After that fun goes by, we’re doomed I guess. ;-)

Thanks to Johannes M for hitting me with the link.

You need to watch at least first 20 seconds.

BTW, I wonder where Mac OS X - Rocket Update can be downloaded…

Rhonda - 3D sketching

Rhonda is the new sketching tools that will finally allow us to do it as it was always meant to be - in three dee! :-) The author is Amit Pitaru who has been working on this for quite a while (more than you have imagined, but not for more reasons like technical complexity).

In the first two minutes of the video you can see Amit’s collaborator James Peterson’s creating a 3D sculpture that was done in - 2003! The rest of the video contains some of his works from 2004 and 2005. In case you wondered, music in the video is Neil Young’s “Out On The Weekend”. From product point-of-view the project has been dormant since, while it has been capturing far too little eye balls in galleries, museums, festivals and conferences.

In a nice turn of events, two well-known software art engineers (according to Google I coined a new term) have joined the project - Zach Liebermann (of OpenFrameworks, who also took part in Toyota iQ Font campaign I wrote about) and Zack Gage (of synthPond, the spacial sequencer).

Want to be in the know when Rhonda will be out? Follow rhondaforever on Twitter.

Do you want to beta test this baby? Leave your name and email on Rhonda website.

<h3>Office 2010: The Movie</h3>

When a rogue font is released into the wild, weird shit can happen to your office, i.e. Office. :-)

Marketing and typography frequently go hand in hand… at least when some level of graphical design is involved. Typography has found its natural setting in graphical design (where people like David Carson made it into art). With the evolution of typography, media and narrowing attention span of consumers, it is getting a more prominent role in video ads as well. However, rarely do we see typography used not as a tool but as the marketing vehicle itself (pun intended).

As a part of the marketing campaign for the new Toyota iQ, the have contracted two Belgian graphic designers Pierre & Damien of PleaseLetMeDesign and the American artist/programmer Zachary Lieberman to create a new font using Toyota iQ.

Watch how this font has been made and if you like it you can download it now. Yes, it’s free. :-)
