Massive Nude Photo Shoot

I’ve never heard of photographer, Spencer Tunick, but apparently he’s known for doing large scale nude photo shoots, in public spaces.

This Sunday (May 6th) will be one of the largest shoots yet… 6,000-9,000 people will be getting naked somewhere in Mexico City. It’s not to late if you would like to be a part of this, you can still sign up. Can’t make it Mexico City? He’ll be doing one in Amsterdam too. You have until May 25th to sign up for that one.

This is Wanted

Similar to an animation I posted a few weeks ago, This is Wanted is an excellent example of great typography and motion design skills.

Strange Love by Jai Lennard

©2007 Jai Lennard. All Rights Reserved.

Photographer, Jai Lennard, has produced a beautiful series of photographs called, Strange Love (NOT safe for work!).

Although some of the images are hit-you-in-the-face obvious as to their meaning, others are a little more subtle. Each one has a (sexual) story to tell, if you’re willing to take a moment to examine the objects in the photo and let your mind wander a bit.

My only real complaint is it’s a short series. I want more!

Zhu Yunwei: Portraits

Design student, Zhu Yunwei, has made some very interesting looking portraits. Each image is comprised of two photographs… one with eyes closed, and one with eyes open. The resulting photos are just a little spooky.

Keyport

I totally love the concept behind Keyport. Basically, you would have all your keys copied onto special blanks that fit in this stylish ‘fob’, so you get rid of that jagged, tangled mess in your pocket. The company also plans to incorporate RFID for remote keyless entry, Alarm Remote, and Flashlight… integrating all the items on your keychain into one “universal access device”.

Unfortunately, Keyport isn’t actually available… yet. But, you can sign up on the site to be notified when it starts to ship.

Photo Portrait - Portraits with a soul

One genre of photography that I’ve never been all that good at is portraits. Although I’ve never been too happy with most of the portraits I’ve taken, I do enjoy looking at ones that have been done well.

I recently came across, Photo Portrait - Portraits with a soul. It’s a great site dedicated entirely to portraits, by various photographers. It’s a great place to go if you’re looking for a little inspiration.

If you like photography that is a little more risque, check out their sister-site, Nu Photos - Nude photos with a soul. It’s very good too.

Sketches to Vector Art

Ever wonder how a professional illustrator goes from initial hand-drawn sketches to final vector artwork? Go Mediazine has you covered with this step-by-step tutorial. Now if I could just learn to draw I would be all set.
