Living Room is a stop motion short film, created by Andeas Kaufmann- it has to be said firstly that the plot for this is so random. It’s about a group of chewing gum in an old man’s house that come alive during the night, they gather around the TV as they form a band and create a music composition… Yeah exactly, it is very bizarre but you’ll find that it’s just amazing to watch and listen to. Andreas submitted this film for his thesis; I think it’s safe to say he passed with flying colours. Watch ‘Living Room’ after the break.

Just incredible. My colleague at work put me on to photographer Romain Alary and Antoine Levi‘s project- Stenop.es. It’s done using a pinhole technique, a rather primitive technique that was once used by Renaissance painters back in the 14th century to project onto walls and paint over them. These guys simple utilise the technique to create a project from the outside on to the inside; with the two layers merging while the landscapes fill the interior’s intimacy to produce a fascinating end result that can brighten up any dull room. Beautiful, hop on after the cut to see more.

It’s fair to say that we’re renowned for rain all year around. Come on, where else do you get monsoon rain in the middle of Spring!? Londoner and photographer Gavin Hammond has made use of the city’s non-stop rainfall through photographing beautiful reflections from the puddles. Hammond’s series entitled London in Puddles almost looks like a painted series showcasing its citizens and architecture through the reflections. I’ll always post work that represents London in a beautiful light, especially since the Olympics are around the corner which most of us feel like it’s going to be shambolic. More on the reverse.

Hawaiian designer Megan Matsuoka started up a passion project to boost her creativity, practice her design skills by keeping things simple. She tasked herself with the difficult task of creating 100 Posters in 100 Days, all of which will feature a dope quote-esque inspirational words of wisdom. The only way to develop your skills is by challenging yourself with tasks like this, I know LDN.365 forced me to grow. It was the only way and definitely grateful for it now. Her typography combinations are really slick and you can definitely see the growth through out the series. Oh to make things harder she’s set herself an hour limit per design, crazy. Peep them after the cut.

Oh my God, these photographs are heavenly. As you already know, I’m going to be photographing three weddings this summer and um, I’ve never shot one before?! but I’m really looking forward to photographing happy people. That’s what it’s all about. I know I’m going to need to hire out a telephoto lens and up my game rapidly before then. Lightedpixels are a duo of photographers from Singapore who specialise in couple photography and without a doubt the best I’ve ever seen. Their photographs appreciate the love, joy, quirkiness and significance of a wedding which enables them to capture remarkable scenes of fun, intimacy, tenderness and love. I’m truly in awe of their talents. Hop on after the cut to see a handful of their shots.
