Wes Anderson is my favorite director/storyteller. Now he’s spent the last 5 years working on bringing to life Roald Dahl’s book Fantastic Mr. Fox. Now I have a new best movie without ever seeing it! I’m also getting this fine publication on the Making of.

OktapodiAnother great animation from the Goblins school of animation. It’s one from the archives, but good to have a look at again none the less. It’s called “Oktapodi” and is the tale of how two octopuses in love refuse to be separated! :P

District 9

In maintaining the momentum of our “behind the scenes” series we found an awesome post on District 9 from the team at CGSociety. Now we have a little more pride in this movie as it was created by a local man Neill Blomkamp. So for all you tech freaks out there, check out the brilliant articles. Don’t forget the “making of” is a two part series!

Ashley WoodIf we are talking about the artist who has it all, Ashley Wood comes to mind.

From working on the ultimate comics, hottest AAA game titles and bringing out his own toy range, we can only but drool. Tons of printed material of his art can be found at most online book stores. Hopefully the man could one day make it to South Africa. But for now, we shall just buy his comics, read his books and keep his kick ass toys in their original packaging.

Drive Carefully

So lovin’ the art of Robert Mars. Its a good mix mash of old school and cool.

A quote from the man himself. “My paintings employ layers of color, subtly collaged printed matter from the 1950’s and 1960’s, and stark, black imagery. Remote, indistinct landscapes capture the once poetic, and now nearly lost highway strips of the American past. Formerly the promise of hope and prosperity; these icons are now a sign of desperation and ruin.”

Phew, now that deserves a look see here!
