Panic Attack!





Amazing short film that went viral in December. The director has since been signed on to a 30 million dollar feature.
Figures.

Kid Cudi

Wait, did everyone know that there are two separate music videos for "Pursuit of Happiness?"

I've seen the one with all the champagne, fly fellas, and ladies, but I had not seen the one made by the production company, Megaforce, and in all honesty the latter is the better, or at least appeals to my sensibilities more.

Check it out.


The official one that was made after:

Crayons in Fine Art



I don't remember how I first came upon this artist's work, but it's simply amazing. Christian Faur makes images using crayons. Wait, let me rephrase that, Christian Faur makes gorgeous images by placing crayons next to each other. His use of color is brilliant. You can check his stuff out on his website here.



Another artist that has incorporated crayons into his work is Cy Twombly. He mostly produced these paintings during the late 1960s and apart from crayons used pencils and household paint to draw/paint on large tan canvases.

Brakhage and South Park


Turns out Parker/Stone were students of experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage. He even has a part in a production they made while studying at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Cannibal! The Musical. Above is a still from Brakhage's Night Music, although perhaps his most famous short film is Mothlight.
