The Art of Louvette Solidum-Escuadro (by Lydlydescuadro)
So I finally made a video montage of my stuff. It was a lot of fun to make :D
The work at the 1:27 mark is the collab I made with the very talented alyonam.
Made with iMovie. Music is “Dragon Rider” by Two Steps From Hell (because everything becomes epic when set to their music XD)
This is cool. Any chance of making one for your Dragon Age fanart?

Most scholars of ancient sculpture (myself included) consider this to be an 18th century creation. That theory is so well circulated and accepted that the British Museum even notes it on the label of the bust and on the website.

In 2006, Katherine Isbister and Kia Höök developed the Sensual Evaluation Instrument (SEI), a tool that evaluates affect and aids in nonverbal communication. Created with artist Rainey Straus while the professors of human-machine interaction were working on a European Union project on emotion and technology, the ‘blobjects’ were tested with a goal of enabling conversations with designers and computer scientists about emotion. The instruments provoked an unexpected outcome of universality during testing: subjects kindredly selected the same objects to express similar emotions (e.g., a spiky object to express anger or fear). We spoke with Katherine and Rainey over Skype about how these objects came into being, their emotional resonance, and how they’ve developed a life of their own over the years.

Interesting.
What if birds had shattered CDs instead of feathers?
Here is a collection of unique sculptures created by artist Sean Avery, who relies on a variety of media to portray animals — from bears, to birds, to the Loch Ness Monster — in a conceptually simple but visually arresting way.
Writes Avery:
My sculptures are all constructed with recycled materials - old CDs, computer hard drives etc, so I classify my work as “sustainable art”. They’re a lot of fun to make, but they take an extremely long time to finish, so I don’t do a lot of them.
You’ll find a lot more over on DeviantArt and Avery’s website.
Love this. Glad someone’s getting a use out of those things.
Now for all these jewel cases.

ULTIMATE COMICS THE ULTIMATES #10 cover by Kaare Andrews. GORGEOUS.
Yesterday, we announced that your friend and mine, Sam Humphries, would be joining Jonathan Hickman as ULTIMATES co-writer. Sam’s cool and he’s a-blowin’ up. Psyched.
Moral of the story: the internet makes dumb people dumber and smart people smarter. If you don’t know how to use it, or don’t have the background to ask the right questions, you’ll end up with a head full of nonsense. But if you do know how to use it, it’s an endless wealth of information. Just as globalization and de-unionization have been major drivers of the growth of income inequality over the past few decades, the internet is now a major driver of the growth of cognitive inequality. Caveat emptor.
