POSTED BY: Amanda Wallace
CATEGORIES:

Stumbled across these and just had to share. Phillip Toledano's work covers a lot of ground. With images of fashion out of whisks or strings or lights, to strange portraits, or an image of a little boy playing inside with a gas mask on. Its worth a look.

POSTED BY: Amanda Wallace
CATEGORIES:

1 part turntable + 1 part pen/paper + innovation = Jim le Fevre's phonographantasmascope! Jim shows off his attempt to build a zoetrope with a turntable. I think attempt is an understatement because has great success and he gets some fun results. Check it out.

The most amazing pop-up book ever for type nerds like myself. Its got spinning designs and vellum overlays! What more could you ask for! The curves of the letter B slide out from a column thinly striped in red: they appear as narrowly spaced concentric arcs, creating an almost hypnotic effect... You get the point.
