What a cool way to promote Girl Scouts…Ok, Girls Guides of Canada but really what’s the difference. These stop-motion animations are really imaginative — the first is called Different, and was created by Nathan Jurevicius and Andrea Kang.

A nice little animation set to Mika’s “Happy Ending”. Not really feeling homeboy’s music to be honest, but I like the illustrative work by Lindsey Olivares.

I love SoKo‘s “I’ll Kill Her”, a slightly unhinged ode to unrequited, obsessive love.

A truly fucking twisted, but aesthetically gorgeous, animated film inspired by the work of French illustrator Muzo. Amazing…

I’m not sure how I missed the greatest event in human history, but apparently I did. This must’ve happened during that weekend I was abducted by the Invid, anally probed, and had my mind erased of all things awesome — cos that’s the only way to explain how in hell I didn’t know about this […]

I know saying you love Takashi Murakami is like saying you like Wes Anderson or Radiohead, but I really love Murakami. I remember when my friend gave me a Buddhafingers candy bar to munch on and we went to see the Murakami retrospective at MOCA, and I nearly lost my marbles. I was already an […]
