Kind Of Pretty

Metroid ~ Other M

The advert is grown up enough to not be cringeworthy. In fact – its pretty damn cinematic.

Well done Nintendo.

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!

Hit more to check out more of Takamastu’s work.

Special thanks to Kazuki Takamatsu getting in contact for info on his methods of creation.
情報をありがとう!

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.

Paul Smith ~ Glass Water Bottle

Being at a desk all day, I appreciate a good water bottle that will bring a little class and life to my desktop.

The new bottled water by evian would look choice sitting next to my computer all day long, day in day out…
Maybe its me, but these things seem important!

Bokeh Lens ~ Shots by kindofpretty

These shots were taken as practice for the current Canon Photo5 photography competition. All of the shots were taken using the Bokeh method – with a cardboard aperture over the lens. Nothing at all has been done to the photos in post production! Take a look at those starry lights…
