A couple of photos of this piece of graffiti in London, making use of those industrial looking doors with the zig zags. You'll see what I mean if you click that link. I dare you. Click it. Now click it again.

3D projection on buildings

Projection on Buildings from NuFormer Digital Media on Vimeo.

How did they do it? I don't know.

Is it even possible? I'm not sure.

So what have I just watched? Couldn't say.

Supposedly this video features 3D animations projected onto buildings. It looks great, and it's a great idea (but what could you use it for?) but I need to research how they did it. It's so clear as well that I'm finding it hard to believe it is a genuine projection.

Apparently it is. Slightly more information is available here: http://vimeo.com/4238052

A conversation I had about this with my friend Ben:

Roland:
i mean this is EXACTLY that bit in back to the future 2
when he thinks he's gonna get eaten by a 3D Jaws
but this actually looks MORE realistic

Ben:
i would just use this
to make it look like there was a door on a wall
and have people walking in to it on the projection
and then a real person would try
but it would actually in reality just be a spike

Everybody doin'

Come for the links, stay for the air hostesses. Or don't. Whatever.

Computer game covers

Almost universally computer game covers are shit. The absolute worst.

In my effort to illustrate basically everything I'm doing, I have done two covers for the computer game which has nearly destroyed my life since it came out: Modern Warfare 2.




































There is a level in the game where you take part in a terrorist attack on a Russian airport. That was the moment in the game that stuck with me, and that's what I wanted to put on the cover. I was trying to boil it down to graphical symbols (bottom one), then I did the slightly kitsch version (top one), which maybe I prefer. I don't know.

Old photos from an Arkansas prison

Look at them and feel.

animation which is funny

Raise your spirits with this funny LSD story:



The animation is ok, but the story is great. I think the soundtrack makes it.

There's something poignant in here, I am definitely, totally, completely, all-encompassingly certain.
