Just watched the Prince of Persia Trailer on Kotaku. Glorious. So watch it. That is all.

Thank you Mr. Ewer for showing me.

Fun Time Lapse

Posted by Vaughan on Oct 8, 2008 in Art | 1 comment

I was kicking around online looking for some good examples of some time lapse video, and stumbled upon this one of hot air balloons. The balloons, usually moving quite slow, come to life in a time lapse, but it has to be 00:32 to 00:42 which really pointed this out to me. Rest in peace mighty eagle.

The Superest – Who is the superest hero of them all?

Posted by Vaughan on Oct 5, 2008 in Art | 0 comments

Having seen the dg post on the Daily Monster , it jogged my memory to catch up on The Superest . In their own words, every few days Kevin Cornell, and Matthew Sutter, play the following game:

Player 1 draws a character with a power. Player 2 then draws a character whose power cancels the power of that previous character. Repeat.

The collection is worth browsing from the start, with many a chuckle along the way.

Project Rubixel – Now Live

Posted by Vaughan on Sep 27, 2008 in Art, Rubixel, Street Fighter | 0 comments

People have been bugging me about getting some images of my Rubik’s cube creations. So to avoid this blog filling up with Rubik upon Rubik, I have created Project Rubixel. A combination of pixelisation and Rubik’s cube turning, which earned the term “a rubixelisation” or simply “a rubixel”. Currently with 3 Rubixels on the site, many more to come, and many more images of the existing Rubixels. So head on over to the Rubixel site to see more. As a teaser, here are the Street Fighter II boys, all 700 Rubik’s cubes in full glory.

Re:Animation – Underground Film Festival

I headed out last night to the Underground Film Festival. Re:Animation was 2 hours of short animations from artists world wide, ranging from sketches, to cartoons, stop motion, to full CGI productions. It felt like two hour flash back to eat carpet.

MUTO There were many highlights, from entertaining, to simply purplexing, but for me the biggest highlight was MUTO. MUTO is one of the best street art creations I have seen. Thanks to the guys at blublu for putting it online. View the video below. More information can be found here.

And last but not least, a big cheer for the Q*bert reference.

Rubik’s Cube Mario

Posted by Vaughan on Aug 1, 2008 in Art, Games | 4 comments

This was something I have wanted to do for a long long time. After stumbling on some bulk Rubik’s cube clones, I took the plunge.

The original Mario made out of Rubik’s cubes. No stick swapping, no pulling them apart. 100% all legit. The first attempt was 1 pixel to the left and the colours were wrong. I had to start all over again. Second attempt complete, I set it up next to my Game On book (and what an awesome exhibition that was) at which point I realised the background, originally white, should be blue. Many tedius turns later, tada!

But that was not the end. The reaction from the people who have seen it has been nothing short of remarkable. I now have 7 more on backorder which I will start making as soon as I get the 245 Rubik’s cubes to make it.
