It seems Jeroen Witvliet has been busy with a new series called Text and more panels added to his Pan-orama series. Enjoy.
For more info, check out my interview with Jeroen here.

Just over a year ago I posted an entry about my experience acquiring a fotologue.jp account for Industrial Brand Creative. As I reported, at that time there was no English whatsoever on the site and one required an invitation in order to join. Almost immediately after our success with acquiring an account, I began receiving emails from people from all over the world asking me how I had done it and could I help them in securing one of their own. Unfortunately, I could not offer them an easy answer.
Recently …

SIGGRAPH hosted a talk this evening called Art by Number:Generating Dynamic Art with Flash with presenters Jeremy Thorp of Blprnt.com and Gary Stasiuk of Liquidjourney.com. I am a hack coder at best so I should let the work speak for itself, although I do suggest checking out Jer’s DarwInstrument which essentially applies a combination of genetic theory, selection of the fittest and mutant variables to the evolution of a more pleasing musical sound — yeah, exactly.
I won’t pretend that I know what I’m talking about here but I do love …

Jeroen Witvliet sent me a link to his latest project entitled Pan-orama, a collection of paintings that are intended to wrap the viewer in the pop culture imagery and those similar themes that Jeroen has explored separately in his previous work.
No show dates as of yet. For now we must be content with the online version.

Okay, so “phenomenon” might be a little overstated, but there has been a pronounced trend online lately towards using or replicating a tilt-shift lens effect to make a normal photograph look like a miniature. Sam Javanrouh over at daily dose has produced some really interesting results with it here, here and, with a slight twist, here. So has his friend Shahin. And this morning, PingMag featured images of a “Tiny Tokyo” inspired by the work of Olivo Barbieri.
Very cool effect. You can learn how to do this to your own …

Just got word this morning that I will be taking the wheel of the guest editor bus over at coudal.com for the month of February. Those of you who have been visiting this site for some time will certainly recognize their name as having topped my list of the Top Ten Most Important Websites from a year ago (and again this year on the IBC “Top Ten Blogs of 2005″). Coudal.com is one of the major influencing factors as to why we got messed up in this blogging racket in …

The Adventures in the Blogosphere continue over at Industrial Brand Creative as our blog gets named one of How Magazine’s Top Ten Websites.

These past couple of weeks over at Industrial Brand Creative have seen us scrambling to put together the creative for the GDC’s holiday event titled “The Colours of Cuba” this Wednesday night. Along with invitations and posters, we have designed a cool little website to promote the event. Considering the weather that we’ve been stuck with lately in Vancouver, this event is sure to be the hottest ticket in town.

The Industrial Brand Blog has been getting quite a lot of attention as of late. In less than a year, the number of visitors has risen steadily to about 30,000 per month. We suddenly find ourselves using terms like “blogroll” and “trackback” a lot. We’ve made contact with other bloggers and web pioneers from around the world. We’ve sat on blog panels. And just this past month, we have been recognized by Applied Arts for Best Blog and on Wednesday with a Lotus Award of Merit for Best Interactive Miscellaneous. …

Always experimenting with new ways to present art to the public, the Vancouver Art Gallery’s current exhibit, Classified Materials: Accumulations, Archives, Artists is at times overwhelming in how it conveys the chaos of information that swarms today’s artists and the subsequent order that they make of it.
Walking through the two floor exhibit, it was a fitting and pleasant surprise to find Hadley + Maxwell’s “The Decor Project” amidst the filing cabinets and alphabetized lists. Beautifully documented by my friend and photographer, Sven Boecker, the artistic team visited curators’ homes …
