Classic Anthony Burrill work here with the above music video for ‘Snake’ by Acid Washed. Also created were graphic pieces used on for cover art and online material. The video, produced through record company Recordmakers is like a minimal geometric visualiser to the music, which left me almost hypnotised either through the imagery, or how much I adore Burrill’s work.

Post update –

Banksy is now going to be showing his ‘Exit Through the Gift Shop’ film in a specially set-up make shift theatre – the Lambeth Palace. The theatre will also hold some of his other work which also featured at the recent Banksy Vs Bristol Museum event. Of course though, it’s sold out. Sorry way too slow this time.

Post original -

Banksy artwork/graffiti has been popping up across Utah ahead of the Sundance Film Festival at which he is due to premiere his documentary film ‘Exit through the Gift Shop‘ where it will be shown as the Spotlight Suprise. Should be interesting.

Anyone see the BAFTA’s the other night?

I think the nights big winners were the film titles who got to be part of this really nice graphic interpretation by Tavis Coburn, as a set of brochure covers for the awards ceremony.

Much like the event itself, I think the Hurt Locker design stands out the most to me. See more at Coburn’s agency site including ‘An Education’, ‘Precious’ and ‘Up in the Air’.

I love a bit of illustration to ease these Monday mornings.

Here’s a sample from some of the great work being created from up and coming London based illustrator Kee. Whilst playing with different styles, there’s a real progression in his work and it’s his quirky linear charactures set against block colours which really stand out for me. Will be intregued to see what else comes out of this talent in the future.

There’s an interesting mix for this years short film (animated) Oscar nominations. Whilst not actually being that varied in styles (there are four CG animations and pretty much all comedies), they are all created outside the USA. The only clip unavailable to get hold of on here is Nick Park’s Wallace & Gromit in ‘A Matter of Loaf and Death‘, it’s also the only one which isn’t a CG animation and will more than likely get nod for the Oscar win. I would like to think Logorama has a good shot at it, but I’ll just will let you can delve straight into watching the clips below and judge which you think should win.

I hope no-one on this bus suffers ophidiophobia.

Danish agency Bates Y&R created these bus ads for the Copenhagen Zoo. What I love about this is not just the amazing execution delivered but how great it is to see clients willing to do something so different and creative.

Massive Attack-Splitting the Atom-directed by Edouard Salier from edouard salier on Vimeo.

Really impressive music vid for the first single release coming from the new Massive Attack album, Heligoland.

Directed by Edouard Salier, the video perfectly captures the mood and feelings from the song, and then transforms them into a sweeping interpretation of a dark, surreal and yet glossy form of a urban cityscape in process of massive destruction.

Watch for yourself, pretty amazing stuff.

Brilliant video from Coy! for the Circle Creative awards.

Beginning with the 1973 Hovis classic, this charming animation short takes us through the ages of advertising with references ranging from the classics to the more annoying tv spots (personally love the Surfer ad for Guiness reference near the end).

How many adverts can you spot?

Some more fantastic illustration work, this time coming form the talented Mutant Hands of James Wignall.

Impressed with the diverse style applied to his work, ranging from linear to minimal to more eastern style.
