Kids' drawings become reality

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if a child's drawing was translated into a photograph? Yeondoo Jung has.

Bottlecaps!

I found this beautiful bottlecap collection on flickr.

A4 Sculpture

Peter Callesen is a danish paper artist who takes flat paper and creates fragile 3D representational sculptures. Here's how he describes his work:

"I find the materialization of a flat piece of paper into a 3D form as an almost magic process — or maybe one could call it obvious magic, because the process is obvious and the figures still stick to their origin, without the possibility of escaping. In that sense there is also an aspect of something tragic in most of the cuts."

The Art of Camera Toss

What looks like fluid motion graphics can be simply achieved with the low-tech and risky technique of tossing your camera. That's right, tossing it. Camera Tossing is an entirely new genre of photography that has been featured in museum exhibitions. But I don't think you'll find Christopher and Matt throwing around their digital SLRs anytime soon.

FLOR & Alexander Girard

I'm very drawn to mid century modern design. What serious designer isn't? One of my favorites is Alexander Girard. Many consider him to be the most influential textile designer of the modern era. He created designs for Braniff airlines and worked alongside Charles and Ray Eames as they created furniture for Herman Miller. FLOR has released some modular carpet tiles and rugs featuring the designs Girard created for La Fonda del Sol.

Mapping the Human 'Diseasome'

Researchers created a map linking different diseases, represented by circles, to the genes they have in common, represented by squares.

Catherine's Animals

Catherine Ledner is a photographer whose work has appeared in numerous publications including Dwell, New York Times Magazine, and Vanity Fair. She has created a site called Catherine's Animals dedicated to her animal photography.

Pixar Guy

Although Nate Wragg's blog is filled with illustrations of yeti (is yeti the plural of yeti?) and retro curmudgeons with cigars, he's also one of the artists that made rats cute for Pixar. He designed the end credits at the end of Ratatouille.

Sony Bravia Bunnies

It's a amazing what a bunch of bunnies can do...
This commercial was created by Darren Walsh at Passion Pictures based in London.

The Art of Kevin Dart

Kevin Dart creates these cool digital paintings inspired by the movie posters of the late 60's, 70's, and early 80's.

Lasered Wood Decks

Seven is an exhibition allowing artists to explore the idea of lasering away at seven layers of ply that make a deck and add their own distinctive mark.

Nurtured Mother Website

Tamara is a friend of Tenfold who left a marketing job to become a full-time doula. We created this site for her new venture, Nurtured Mother.

A cool site we wish we did...

The ECO ZOO is an interactive site that teaches us how to be more environmentally friendly. It was created by a firm in Japan and features some nifty 3-D animation.

Tenfold Images

In addition to being good at lots of other stuff, Christopher and Matt are also great photographers. So, Tenfold has created a Tenfold Images site that showcases their photographical flights of fancy.
