I posted this video a while back on Twitter. But Twitter is such an fleeting medium. People look at the last 20 tweets or so and then they disappear in the depth of time.
So for those who missed it here is Frances Ford Coppola’s “Koyaanisqatsi” with beautiful music by Philip Glass.
Coppola shows us how the stillness of nature is replaced by the hustle and bustle of humanity.

Here are some of the art sites I featured on See me draw in the last couple of weeks:
- Wasted beauty is a beautiful site with eerie drawings.
- Julian Beever makes pavement drawings. Large 3d drawings that, from the right angle, look very real.
- Amy Bennet constructed a town using model railroad miniatures, landscaping supplies and dollhouse lighting. From this model she paints pictures of the inside and outside of the houses and the people that could have lived in this town.
- Characterdesign is kind of a showroom for people who ilustate books etc. They also do interviews with their artists.
- Jason Chan draws pictures with an eastern theme.
- Justine Ashbee draws strange wall paintings that remind me of creased cloth and in that have something very familiar.
- Philip Straub paints beautiful book illustrations.
- Does a car dream about becoming a bigger car? Wouldn’t it be nice to shine the light of your flashlight around a corner? On 98pages you find these kind of visual jokes.
