It’s always about re-inventing and inspiration, and I know it’s hard to create fresh graphics that don’t look like everything else.
But the illustrator who did the artwork for the merchandise of the more or less famous club Watergate in Berlin obviously attended the last Nicholas Di Genova exhibition at Intoxicated Demons Gallery.
Just adding bright colors doesn’t hide your awkward rip-off, man!

The Audrey Print was sold out incredibly fast! There were so many people online the site refused to load exactly at the time i tried to buy it. Damn!!
Hope i’ll have better luck next time ^^

Radiohead’s latest videoclip for their song “House of Cards” was shot entirely without cameras. They used a combination of different scanning methods with laser and stuff… A making-of and some info can be found by following this link.

Furthermore they are offering an excerpt of the 3D point data of Thom’s head and the data of the landscape for download and opened up a YouTube group for sharing the experiments users do with that data.

I played with the data in processing and by clicking on “Read the rest…” you may find my first three results.

After the “Cheki” model last year, the Lomographic Society releases version after version of the Fuji instant camera.
The latest instax is the smallest and - if you ask me - the best looking. The perfect geek party accessoire ^^

New lovely toys by DOMA available on http://www.release-the-freaks.com/

There’s a new and more reliable shop system on Audrey Kawasaki’s website. And two new prints to test it ^^

Hello!

We at Kaiserbrand have teamed up with the Zozoville Gallery and are currently working on a pitch for Nickelodeon. It’s a three minute 3D animation with two main characters and two supporting characters, all designed by the the Zozoville artists!
And now we need some gifted people (that means YOU!!) to support our team, one person for each job position.
As this is only a pitch, our budget is almost non-existent, so we can only pay you a small fee.

The production starts now and everything should be done until July, 29th. Tough…

For style reference, please have a look at the artists’ websites:

Dear People,

We here at Zozoville are making a 3 minute animation and we need your voices to give our characters life.
This is a pitch for a cartoon for Nickelodeon.
We are under a tight deadline and will need your services asap. The script is short, and if we choose you, we will only need your services for one day, however If this animated short is a success, then this will be more than a one-time job, and with better pay.
For this job we will pay 80 euros per voice, plus we’ll throw in some Zozoville merchandise.

There are 4 characters which need voices. They are all friendly monsters, but they are also kids. Read below for more details:

–Li and Fi–
Li and Fi are conjoined twins.
Li is the thin talkative one. In fact she talks so fast it is hard to understand what she is saying sometimes.
Fi is a bit bigger, and in this short she doesn’t speak.

Li says: We got braces! Check them OUT! These puppies are only for special kids, and that’s us because you see Fi had crooked teeth and so we went to the dentist and he said that we were special because Fi had crooked teeth so he gave us these braces and now look at them aren’t they great!!

–Hugo–
Hugo is a bit bigger than the other kids. Despite his size his voice is a bit higher. He is not the smartest kid of the bunch, but he is loyal and enthusiastic. He is Lippo’s best friend.

Hugo says: (stumbling over his words) B-Brraccces….wooooow!
(then to Lippo) I must have braces Lippo!…can I get braces too?…you think?…what do you think?..I must have them too!!…lippo…braces..me..braces…BRRRRRRRRRRRRaaaacesssssssssss.

–Lippo–
Lippo is the main character. He isn’t very big, he’s curious, friendly, a leader, he’s blue, and has a long-ish trunk-nose.

Lippo says: Calm down! Braces huh? Well they said they got them from a guy called the Dentist..So I GUESS what we need to do is get a dentist to notice YOUR crooked teeth

–The Dentist Fairy–
The Dentist Fairy is the goofiest character in this story. He/She has crooked teeth, crooked eyes, and a crooked smile. Pretty ugly. He/She flies around like a fat bug. He/She can also be older than the others.

The Dentist Fairy says: Duhhh…Wait a second there! It looks to me like you’ve got some pretty crooked teeth! Looks like a job for the dentist fairy!
(then the spell begins)
“Cookie batter, jelly beans, biscuits hidden on the shelf,
You’ve been chosen crooked face, it’s time for you to BRACE YOURSELF!”

There is of course more text, but first we want to hear your take on this text.
If you are interested, please send an email to voicetalents@hotmail.com
or attach an mp3 file with your interpretation of these characters.
Upon request we can also supply you with sketches of the characters.
It is important that you are in or near Berlin.

To see the type of characters we make, you can go to the following websites:

Feel free to pass this email on to anyone who you think might be interested.
Thanks! We look forward to hearing from you!
