Nature By Numbers – An Animated Short
I came across a pretty badass video on vimeo called Nature By Numbers.

PolyScribe Metamorphosis Art Animation
I’ve come across another awesome video by EclecticAsylumArt. This one, titled PolyScribe Metamorphosis Art Animation, features 4 artists painting at once. Absolutely stunning and visually entertaining.
Description:
An evolving painting created by four artists working simultaneously on the same digital canvas. The painting process was unplanned and free form. The artists took cues from each others actions and interpretation of various shapes/colors. Communication was made possible by text chat. The total elapsed time was 4 hours.
The music in the video is Beethoven’s Piano Sonata, Opus 53 No. 21 (Waldstein) – Movement 1

Web 2.0 Origami Icons
In case you haven’t noticed already, some of the icons on my site look like origami. Well, that is thanks to Paddy Donnelly, a web designer who initially created the Twitter icon for his own site and decided to release a set of 15 origami icons for free download and use on other sites. I have to say, I was quite impressed at the uniqueness of them and how life-like they are.
