‘For the past fifteen months I’ve created artwork in hopes of shedding light on the plight of innocent civilians under modern warfare. In this video I put my art to the music of Pink Floyd’s Goodbye Blue Sky.’

Student work from Sweden: Tomas Nilsson reinterprets Little Red Riding Hood (above). Music by Slagsmålsklubben. You know, I never did understand why the wolf – with the big ol’ teeth – never actually chewed his food.

Nilsson’s animation was inspired by Röyksopps’ Remind Me (below).

It’s the type that’s sexy.

If it were one of my fonts, that’d made it even sexier.

Make The Girl Dance is Campana & Perrin, aka Greg & Pierre. This is their MySpace page.

My client, Normandie, is currently touring the known United States.

The band is a side project thunk up by 3 members of theSTART; as a result, the shows become a twofer (two bands in one).

In tow they have a bunch of my tour posters (seen above) as well as some special handmade START cds doodled by the band itself (see below).

Follow their advance across the continent by jumping over to vocalist Aimee Echo’s Twitter page. As of this writing, they seem to be somewhere in the original 13 colonies  . . .  And may have been replaced by pirates.

Tour dates for both bands can be found on their MySpace pages here and here.
