I’ve added a few more drawings to my sketchbook selects on Boundless Optimism. Quite colourful lines in fact.

There are a few new drawings at Boundless Optimism, my drawing portfolio. They’re not completely safe for work, but they’re drawings… so it’s art. Hope you like them.

Janelle Monae is an energetic and exciting singer. This song, Tightrope, makes you wanna jump up and move your feet. However, I doubt you’ll move your feet as well as the troupe in this video. The pictures are by Wendy Morgan, ass kicking director of the dance. They’re an equal and a tribute to the song.

This video, as the title of this post implies, is a satirical look at the world and is obviously not safe for work if you’re going to play it loud. Stick with it, Reggie has a keen eye for the crap that pop culture spews out.

I’ve managed to do some scans of some old-ish and some recent drawings for my drawing portfolio. There’s something for everyone.
Drawings of dogs & drawings of nudes.
Your choice. Nobody is watching. Or simply see everything at Boundless Optimism.

It seems every cool web curator I’ve bumped into in the last week is on Tumblr. Here is one of my favourites with a few select images to whet your appetite. Very Special Report.

It took me a moment to understand why someone would spend months building a video out of wooden blocks and stop animation instead of just doing the thing in 3D.
Check out the Making Of.

Another sage once told me that if you just concentrate on the work, the money will follow. Which, to be frank, has worked for me just fine.
(Okay, back to work.)

Chris Craymer does a lovely job of capturing the softness in his models. No schmaltz, just a wonderful optimism (which is a lot tougher than it sounds). I’m not sure who does his styling, or if it’s all his own, but it’s inventive and matches the photos brilliantly.
Enjoy. Click here.

The ice caps are melting, this Tiny Tim guy is acting like a fish and little girls are singing a chorus including the words “the tide is rising to wash away the sins”. Sheer lunacy. It’s beautiful. Your day will be better for watching this and singing along.
