While my interests have constantly shifted throughout my career, there are a few contemporary independent designers and animators that I continuously seek out for inspiration. One in particular is Impactist, a directing duo based out of Portland, Oregon. |

Today being New Year’s Eve—the official holiday of Time—I could not
resist marking the occasion with a tribute to Christian Marclay’s The
Clock. The epic video collage is not just a piece of cool video art—it’s a fully functioning clock meticulously assembled from thousands of film clips from probably just as many movies, edited together over the course of at least as many hours, depicting every minute of the day in a seamless 24-hour sequence that unfolds in perfect synch with real time. |

In the form of a music video for the latest single from Australia’s The Presets, Japanese artist Yoshi Sodeoka has made a stunning work of glitchy techno-dada created using riot videos, Internet culture references and a broken PlayStation. It’s weird, obnoxious and completely stunning. |

Subtitled “Short narratives in film & photography,” Ian Coyle’s
Edits Quarterly appears to be a personal online editorial effort that
has begun with force...but it’s unclear if more will come. So far, we have
a single issue titled Voyager, dated Winter MMXI. Ian does love
little moments of formality dropped into the work. Roman numerals
perhaps reference his journey home to Italy, which acted as
inspiration for the issue. |

I love this They Might Be Giants video by the Office of Paul Sahre. I have so much respect for Paul! Is it because he’s an amazing designer, witty illustrator and foosball god? Or is it simply because we share the same Alma mater. It’s because he’s a humble dude who consistently churns out amazing work every year (check out the timeline). |
