THE MACHINE
"The Machine" is an animated fable following the path of an innocently forged mechanical creature. As his independence and knowledge of the world grows on his journey, as does his desire to conquer all that we encounters, from the pastures of a farmer to the realm of man's entire world.
The story is in itself a mechanized apparition, the characters and scenery exisiting inside of an early 20th century nickel arcade and being driven forward by the gears of this machine.
This film was shot over many hours at Bent Image Lab over the course of several months in 2008-2009. Animated using stop-motion puppets and sets, then composited together in After Effects, the film has a mixed media presence to it that is accentuated by the machine's own collage like form. LINK

Art on Motorcycle Helmets
Done by James Jean
Proving that art can be enjoyed on any medium, SURU, a concept retail store in Los Angeles, asked some of our favorite artists to transform ordinary motorcycle gear into extraordinary pieces of art. All pieces were put up for silent auction for Riders For Health, a cause created to make sure all health workers in Africa have access to reliable transportation so they can reach the most isolated people with regular and predictable health care. We love how all these artists banded together to put on this event, dedicating their time and effort to a great cause. LINK
