Destino, by Salvador Dali and Walt Disney

I have thought a lot about the Dali exhibition since going just over a week ago now… It is amazing how vividly the imagery has stayed with me. I still cannot fathom how one man could have produced such am immense amount of masterpieces.  From a beating heart crafted from rubies (see earlier post) to my personal highlight, Destino—which, Dali and Walt Disney began collaborating on in 1946. Their creation was finally completed in 2003. This evening I came across a you tube video of the what appears to be the full and hopefully legit film see it here.

You look like the right type

You look like the right type is a neat little blog by Mark Addison Smith living in Chicago. Each day, he writes down dialogue overheard spoken around him from “honest-to-gosh real people”. At the end of the day, he  turns this  jot-list into a stack of tiny sketches. Posting one a day. Twenty four hours later, a new collection begins. Love it! keep up the good work Mark. Mark’s blog

Beautiful Collages

Cristiana Couceiro, a graphic designer based in Lisbon creates beautiful mixed media collages. The colours and layouts of the designs are extremely well balanced, composed and timeless. Her style is quite reminiscent of the early modernist period, some of the images also remind me of the work produced by one of the great Russian Constructivists, Alexander Rodchenko.
