Dancing Brains

Much has been blogged about the new ad for Drench water featuring Brains from Thunderbirds. Disturbing crotch-grabbing moves aside, it's fantastic, and I particularly love the website, where you can control Brains' dance moves with your webcam. Awesome!

Wow.. Koralie's work just blows me away.. very inspiring stuff. Her portfolio site is here (though it's icky Flash).

Tuneage

I'm off to ATP next weekend, which always inspires me to check out some new music. Out of all the stuff I've acquired, I really love the Santogold album. She draws many comparisons with M.I.A (from lazy journalists who assume that because she's friends with MIA and also ethnic, she'll sound the same), but her style is totally different - Santi is more 80s and soulful; I can pick up influences from everyone from the Pixies to the Police, via Gwen Stefani and Kate Bush. I also wholeheartedly endorse the use of gold glitter on the album cover artwork.

By the way, I recently updated my company's blog design and I'm now contributing to it too - check it out.

Ceiling cat is watching you...

I love lolcats - my life has been made infinitely better since adding the feed to my blog reader. Now you can download and fold your very own Ceiling Cat from right here. Super cute!

Polar Opposites

This is a little piece I've been having fun working on in the evenings lately. I've never really been into using Photoshop as a tool for making graphics (definitely a vector girl at heart) but I did some experimenting here with blend modes, layering, patterns, and many source images from the wonderful BibliObyssey. I'm quite happy with it! (Bonus points if you guessed the inspiration - 'Polar Opposites' by Modest Mouse).
