Kazuki Takamatsu ~ Artist
Japanese artist Kazuki Takamastsu is a master of graphic design, animation and modeling, mashing all three skills together to create his works. Using 3D and 2D computer rendering and acrylic gouache painting to bring it all into reality. Or at least the reality that hangs on a wall in a gallery.
These ominous, faceless, colour-less & context-less girls are more then a little creepy.
The images are similar to the “answers” to those old Magic Eye 3D illusion books, but with a splash of Japanese animation influence.
Fu^*ing brilliant!
If you happen to be hanging out in Omotesando , Tokyo – you can check out his work at Spiral Gallery from 28th Oct-3rd Nov 2009. If not only for a look at the fantastic Spiral Gallery itself!

Special thanks to Kazuki Takamatsu getting in contact for info on his methods of creation.

Street Fighter in 15 pixels only.
One of the most recognizable games ever made looks semi play-able rendered as a measly 15 pixels.
I guess this would be the way to play if you wanted to be top of the arcades. Put that blast visor down and feel the force!
The work was commissioned by The U.K. games festival Gamecity.
Check out Noby Noby Boy rendered in the same way after the jump.

Kanye West x Spike Jonze – We Were Once a Fairy Tale
It’s only a matter of time before this gets taken down – but get in quick for a look at this mental Kanye & Jonze collaboration. They’re both maniacs in the best way possible. Take a look the dark and inspiring clip that emerged once they came together.

Machinarium ~ Adventure Art.
Machinarium will humble you in the way that Where the Wild Things Are did as a kid (and still does now). Visuals to kill and brain twisters to intrigue, go grab a taste of the demo and then download the full flavour.
Read the full review below.

Uncertainty ~ Scott McGehee & David Siegel
Insanely contrasted trailer for Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s new film Uncertainty. Looks to be half love-drama and half thriller. Intriguing! I am a big fan of Gordon-Levitt especially since his performance in teen-noir film Brick.
A young couple (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lynn Collins), in love and facing a life-changing decision, find one seemingly ordinary July 4th cleaved in two by the flip of a coin on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Shutter Island ~ Marty Scorsese
The second official trailer for Mr. Martin Scorsese’s horror film Shutter Island.
The movie looks pretty darn horrifying, while also keeping to Scorsese’s classic theatrical style. That timeless-film noir-like acting of DeCaprio & Mark Ruffalo work a treat throughout the trailer.
If your a fan of thrillers, then Socrsese should delivery something like you’ve never seen before.
Check the high def trailer at Apple.
Unfortunately the film has been pushed back to February 19th 2010.
