Looking for New Wallpaper?

For the past couple of Pixar movies I’ve been obsessed with some of the artwork. For The Incredibles, I loved the comic book style promo posters, for Ratatouille there were posters that resembled French Café and now for Wall-e, there are posters that reflect the old 1970’s ride posters Disneyland produced.

After some thorough research, I found out the artist is Eric Tan. According to his blog, he’s a graphic designer/doodler who grew up in San Diego. (And that’s about it) All I really know is I love what’s he’s done and his artwork now graces my computer screen.

P.S. He’s also done some other work and I thought you should check it out. Also, if you want an actual poster, you can go to Acme Archives to purchase one. The problem is they are a bit pricey.

“I Met the Walrus”: Another Reason to Love John Lennon

I’ve run into something inspiring.

“I Met the Walrus” is an amazing video of an interview done by Jerry Levitan, a Beatles’ fan that snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room and persuaded him to do an interview about peace.

The video is animated and brings Lennon’s words to life with clever imagery enhancing his word play.

John Lennon’s message was simple and still relevant today; Don’t be square and do your part-work for peace.

Chopin Mixed with Radiohead- Who Knew?

Jack Conte did.

His music video for the mash up is like watching a surgeon at work. He plays all the instruments and sings all the parts. Magicians don’t often reveal their tricks, but it’s appreciated that artist showed his work; the music video will blow you way.

Watching this insanely good mash up over and over again made me want more, and I felt like I struck gold when I started to listen to his song “Yeah Yeah Yeah”- both versions are killer.

The video for “Yeah Yeah Yeah V2” is now a youtube.com featured video. (Kudos!)

Some influences he’s listed and/or I’ve noticed are the Postal Service, Radiohead, Muse, Chopin not to mention the Conte lists Danny Elfman as a personal influence. Fantastic.

This specific version of “Yeah Yeah Yeah” is available only on his myspace, not on itunes, but you can buy the rest of his music on itunes or HERE at CDbaby.com.
