Viz candy
If it’s visual and cool, count me in. I’m not up on all the blogs and websites that are out there, but two of my favorites originate from an unlikely place; the New York Times.
First is Abstract City by Christoph Niemann
He’s an illustrator who’s done a bunch of stuff and every couple of months comes up with a little slice of life story told in words and images. Only the images are photos of illustrations made with different mediums. Napkins, legos, woven stuff; the dude has skills.
Second is The Animated Life by Jeff Scher
He’s a painter and experimental filmmaker who creates animated shorts set to music out of his paintings. I don’t know how long it would take to make one of these, but I’m betting it’s more than one day. (Sorry, the nytimes site will not let me inbed this. Totally worth the click though.)
