Anyone that's been on this Earth long enough should know that Chuck Norris is the ultimate human being. I guess some people just don't get it, and that's precisely why this book had to be made. Collected here are some hilarious snippets from a book that is not worthy of Chuck Norris.…
Vivid Sydney kicked off today and one of the key events is the Luminous Music Festival. It is curated by one of my favorite artists, musician Brian Eno. He also created the installation shown above 77 Million Paintings — using about 300 of his drawings projected onto the sails of the opera house. It is shown each night from 6 p.m. to midnight. Eno envisioned a mesmerizing sight for the public to pause and enjoy. "I think what I am most… Continue
At first glance, it looks like an earthquake destroyed the walls of this building. Amazingly, it's just an optical illusion - even the woman looking inside is fake.
The paintings, which have fooled many, were created by Californian-born artist John Pugh, who specializes in trompe l'oeil or "trick of the eye" art. He works on large scale murals in public and… Continue

I'm a big fan of foreign films and South Korea has produced some gems in the last decade.
Director Park Chan-wook may have invented a new genre with "Thirst," his film about a priest turned bloodsucker who doesn't like to kill. The movie combines horror, suspense, social satire and humor in the story of a man of faith transformed into a vampire by a medical… Continue

This one was in response to a dream I had where I flew over a city which continued on past the horizon. I must have had the fan on that night because I could feel the wind in my face.
I also made this for my "Visual Experimentation" class... The task was to keep a visual diary... I drew a butterfly every day... and then made them… Continue

There's nothing like being on a lake and taking in the beauty and grandness of a mountain range. It's almost like nature has a way of healing and replenishing the soul that is so easily jaded in the city. Even more amazing, a beautiful optical illusion is created on sunny days when the lake is still. Collected here are some breathtaking photos of mountain range… Continue

A short film for MTV Worldwide to help raise awareness of the effects of global warming which contains a combination of live action and animation. A globe in a classroom was shot on 16mm which was then tracked and populated with cg toy-like clouds, cars, planes, and cities.
A lot of what I do is to find ways of taking huge amounts of information and distilling it down so that top management can understand it and act on it. I also need to employ this same process in my own life to take the vast firehose of new info appearing on the web every second and digest it down to something I can understand and use.
Did you know that every second 20 hours of new video is uploaded to…Continue
