Photoshop, Through the Years
Jun 27, 2009 posted by: Shadi For all you Photoshop users out there (which I'm guessing is a very, very high percentage), you might find this window into the past interesting. Check out the splash screens, toolbars, and panel sets from the earliest alpha to the current version. Memory lane! I remember the magicalness of 2.5 and 3.0 particularly well from my childhood... how about you guys? 
William Stout's "All Creatures Great and Small"
Jun 27, 2009 posted by: Wade
Click the image above for a larger view.
The artist's largest mural to date, William Stout's "All Creatures Great and Small" (pictured above) resides at the San Diego Natural History Museum and measures in at a staggering 14'H x 34'W featuring a collection of sea life from 2 millon years ago congregating about a fish bait ball in San Diego's Pliocene Bay. The key figure being a newly discovered prehistoric relative of a fin whale (depicted at half it's believed size) bellowing in to garner most of the prize feast.
The project began with preliminary pencil drawings presented to the SDNHM and eventually a quarter-scale oil painting (measuring 42"H x 102" - which is almost a mural in itself) before proceeding with the finished work in all of its captivating beauty. The bait ball itself took approximately a week to complete as the artist painstakingly rendered each sardine, anchovy, and herring with intricate detail.
For the first time, the quarter-scale of this masterwork will be on display for the viewing public.
Join us Saturday, June 27 (today) from 2 to 6 for a special presentation from the artist William Stout as he covers many aspects of his career from cinema promotion, film and concept design, paleoart, and much much (much) more. The artist will also be signing his book "Prehistoric Life Murals".
The exhibit at Nucleus will feature two quarter-scale murals (including the one above) as well as several other works from the Prehistoric and Antarctica projects for which the well-respected artist is known. We hope that you'll join us for this exciting all-ages event. For more details click here

Jun 25, 2009 posted by: b
Today, we were honored to visit William Stout's home and studio to pick up some pieces for this Saturday's event. I was amazed to say the least. After talking to William, I had no idea that he had done so much...most of which he will talk about in his powerpoint presentation this Saturday from 2-4pm.

Miike Snow
Jun 19, 2009 posted by: b
After hearing their in-studio session on KCRW, I have been listening to this Swedish band for the past week almost non-stop. It's hard for me to classify Miike Snow, and maybe I shouldn't try, but either way give them a listen. My favorite song is the one below (Sylvia). Check out their myspace for more music.

Moki - New Limited Edition Print
Jun 17, 2009 posted by: Sunny
 Moki creates art of various styles and mediums including comics and even film, but where she excels is in her exquisite paintings where she juxtaposes unusual elements of nature. You are never sure what surprises you will encounter in her remote, photo-realistic landscapes. In Moki's world, serene environments engulf and interact with human life and often house surreal and mythical creatures, yet all is calm and there is tranquillity in each.
We are excited to announce the release of this strikingly beautiful limited edition (pictured above), signed and numbered by the artist. It is a timeless image. A focal piece from her recent solo exhibition in Hamburg, Germany. View more details here
The works pictured below are just a taste of Moki's creative caliber. View more works on her site here

Sexy People Blog

Found this site a while back. Some people may think this is slightly mean spirited but I simply see it as a goldmine for character reference. The second image looks just like a friend of mine but ten years younger.
Murakami LV
Jun 12, 2009 posted by: b
I recently saw this Louis Vuitton video by Murakami. It has similar themes to his previous Super Flat Monogram short (shown on the bottom) but this one has more CG, a bit more narrative and just as colorful as always. Which one do you guys like better?

Barron Storey's "Life After Black" Opens This Friday
Jun 10, 2009 posted by: Wade
 Through good times and bad times illustrator, graphic novelist, and noted educator Barron Storey has recorded his life with the illustrations in his journals. By capturing subtleties in pictures and illustrating the impossible to illustrate, his thoughts and experiences come to life on these magnificent pages. The journals are an example and source for anyone interested in the delicate art of making pictures communicate and the illustrator's process.
Beginning in 1975, Storey's journals have explored such ominous themes as political corruption, repression, sexual aggression and civil conflict. He considers his journals to be "a daily recording of happenings" and "the eternal flow from a particular point of view. Things seen, things thought, things felt....experience captured." Since then, the artist's work has appeared in TIME, National Geographic, The Saturday Review and is permanently on display at the National Air and Space Museum, The American Museum of Natural History, and the National Portrait Gallery.

June 10 - July 31
Opening Reception: Friday, June 12 (6:30 - 11pm)
128 East 63rd Street
New York, NY 10065
