Humanizing The Web

I stumbled upon this interesting website a bit ago & thought I’d share: WeFeelFine.org. Self Described as an exploration in human emotion on a global scale, this web app essentially crawls the social web searching for emotion based statements. They are all pulled out & compiled in a nifty little interactive interface. I’ve taken screenshots of a few statements that I loved, but there were zillions more to look through. You should check it out.


Helter Swelter

Heat wave, anyone? Yeah, feels like we are knee deep into summer.
I’ve amassed a small collection of photos from the first half of summer, see below for a few highlights.

Happy Easter and Three Minutes Of Intense Beauty

Caught this on Yahoo front page last week, it’s just so mind blowingly beautiful, I wanted to pass it along. The footage was taken from the highest mountain in Spain during the course of a week this April. Click through the links to read more about the artist & the video details.

Exit Through The Gift Shop

Have you seen this film? Exit Through The Gift Shop, a documentary produced by British stencil artist Banksy. I just watched it via Netflix recently and if you are interested in art at all, I’d recommend seeing it. Some nice clips of a few well known street artists getting up, some interesting ideas on the state of the art market, artist notoriety & the “hype machine”.

Teal – Photo Inspiration

teal color photo inspiration for artists
Teal: cold winters, dated bathroom tiles, crystal clear ocean water, the sky at that perfect moment during dusk, classic cars & diners, high school gym lockers, butterfly wings. Often referred to as aqua, turquoise or peacock. Wikipedia says:“Teal is a medium blue-green color. It is named after the common teal, a member of the duck family, whose eyes are surrounded by the color.”

More teal inspiration photos (& photo credits) after the jump.
