The Creators Project is an information network focused on creativity and culture around the world. The site houses hundreds of short documentary style videos and interviews with some really talented creative people. I’ve been super impressed with the handful of videos I’ve already watched in both, production quality and content.

The Fool’s Gold video stuck out to me the most so far… I’ve been pretty impressed with their approach and catalog. It’s nice to see a little bit of that in the making and hear their take on their success thus far.

Anthony Schepperd animated/directed this insanely colorful and intricate music video for Blockhead’s ‘The Music Scene’ which is the title track off his latest release on Ninja Tune. The label is celebrating 20 years of beats n’ pieces keep an eye on their site for details around the release of rare material, mixes, videos and other treats.

Check out the rest of the Creative Control videos, and make sure to check out this Mos Def goodie for sure.

As most of these types of videos do, this one shares a lot of really interesting ideas.. some of which aren’t even being highlighted. I thought it was odd that Ji put Create above Planning on his list, but then I started to think about how that could actually motivate the creative process. To me its like sitting at home and sketching all day ends up being far more productive than planning an illustration or thinking about it over and over again. The bubble project seemed to be a perfect example of an average brand to consumer relationship. People aren’t being tricked as much as a brand might like to imagine, and in this case it’s clear that people have very withdrawn feelings for most products and services. Transparency reigns supreme. Love it.

We should all strive to do work that benefits the people as opposed to the brand. A brand should be seen as a resource to the people.

I haven’t had the opportunity to check out the rest of the 99% videos but will most definitely recommend taking a peek.

If there is one thing that I feel like I’ve failed to talk about enough it’s most definitely Kung Fu flicks. This genre of course includes a plethora of sub-genres as well, but most adequately takes the shape of sword wielding, bandit chopping and sometimes magical or mysterious occurrences throughout medieval Japan and China. The characters and stories in these films are undoubtedly some of my largest influences and were originally (aside from comic books) the reason for my interest in being an artist years ago. Of this long list, Lady Snowblood could be put atop without a doubt.

I’m a sucker for anything that includes a menacing electronic beat and zombies, the combination multiplied by adding kittens is simply outstanding.

The track/animation is by Cyriak and illustrations by Sarah Brown, both of which seem to be a fantastic dynamic duo. Don’t forget to peek at the merch and the other tracks by Cyriak. Meow!

Our good friend Greg Hubacek just recently finished up a new video Prizefight, for Mike Mictlan (of Doomtree) which made its premier last night at Doomtree’s Blowout 5. If you haven’t heard of Doomtree or Mike Mictlan make sure to jump over to their site for some more pics, videos and free tracks!

This is one of the most exciting things I’ve seen all day. Enjoy.

Died Young, Stayed Pretty. candid. underground poster culture. North America. bare-knuckle brawlers. aesthetic merits of octopus. America’s morbidly obese consumer culture. create posters. strikingly obscene. unflinchingly blasphemous. quite beautiful.

I find most of my imagery via ffffound, and have recently been really into Ben Pearce’s Flickr as well as the I Love Hotdogs site.
