If I had to guess who might find that interesting, I’d say it was you. Glad I was right. I look forward to meeting you some time. : )

Thanks for sharing. It is rather interesting! I’m sure it took a long time to create.

And suddenly I madly want to watch the Animation Show…

I can’t pretend that I understand but, I can link it with the concept of the ideas boxes…creativity process and the way art comes out from us…
Interresting but crazy, don’t you think?

When I saw “street art” I thought it was going to be those Julian Beever or Kurt Wenner 3D drawings (if you haven’t seen those, you should check them out).
This was really different…amazing what some people can do.

WOW! that is really just amazing.. I love it…

Somewhat unexpected, I’m still processing this one but it is interesting.

I think forms of art like this are the most intriguing as they are seen in places that most people don’t even look at. I know I’ve walked past brick walls and wooden panels, never even stopping to look at what someone may have written or drawn, and when I do stop sometimes I am blown away and it is simply beautiful in its loneliness.

This animation is really neat, and I can only imagine all the time that was put into it!

I was looking at your links to other bloggers and The Long Tailpipe-Shai Agassi has a video with kids talking about how it would be a good idea to make electric cars. Anyway.. it reminded me of a documentary I saw recently.. it is called “who killed the electric car”
Also another good “documentary” I saw recently was “radiant city”
Anyway.. If you are interested I found both films made me think alot. It boggles my mind the things/people/companies that seemingly have this sort of control over everything and everyone… Why is everyone always on a ladder to the top wanting to always make more and more and more money? When will it be enough?

I saw this vid. a few days ago from a friend of mine and thought it was pretty neat. While I was watching it I was wondering about the entire process of creating the animation. Like how long it took to paint over the previous image to paint a new image for the next frame, and what inspired this piece of work to begin with. I’d say this street art is awesome right after Julian Beever’s 3D chalk art.

Comment From Deb — May 19, 2008 @ 9:31 am

I wonder how long it took to do this….I just found it absolutely fascinating.

@Svetlana
sorry your comment got erased, i accidentally deleted the whole post and had to put it up again and your comment (which was the only one at the time) was lost.

Comment From Svetlana — May 19, 2008 @ 9:51 am

Well, that’s all right. Be careful next time! :)

Comment From Shannon — May 19, 2008 @ 5:52 pm

This is amazing! The art and animation is great but the thing that sets it apart for me is the interaction with the environment! Amazing!

I also think that all the imagery of opening the mind is very appropriate!

The first time I saw it, I thought, “I wonder what Darwin would say about it?”

The second time I thought the same thing.

The artwork is incredible, the story I am still trying to work out.

thank you for sharing this.

I must say, that is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while. Thanks for posting.

Comment From Rahel — May 21, 2008 @ 11:39 am

It somehow reminded me of the Taoist notion of the ‘transformation of things’… :) Interesting! Me likes.

Comment From Evyasiil — May 21, 2008 @ 1:51 pm

Its like the confusing surreal sequences of images you would see when your just slipping into sleep but you’re still kind of awake, (dunno if you’d call it Lucid Dreaming?!) Anyway, I prob aint making sense, but it happens to me all the time… *creepy brain stuffs* :p
