I’ve been “flattering” various artists on Deviantart

The ‘Bamboo Fun’ is pretty epic..

4th Estate – the site / 5th Estate – the Blog

And the movie..

This Is Where We Live from 4th Estate on Vimeo.

Everything about this movie makes you want to jump in to their world.
Took these guys 3 weeks and some awesomely talented artists (really?) to put this together. Props to them.

(For those of you who can’t see the youtube video [which is after the 3 stills..], please go here.)

I apologize for the bad quality of the images, they’re screen-captures from the Youtube vid.

Enjoy and spread the love <3

I’m sure he had plenty of time to think up a face for each of these sculptures..

Here’s the original article (thanks to Nimisha <3) and here’s the artist, Junior Fritz Jacquet’s website.

Cheeres!

It’s pretty epic.

Here’s the whole series.. Enjoy.

Anyway, I recently got my hands on a Wacom tablet and here’s what I’ve come up with so far. I havn’t given colouring a go because I have NO idea how to, so any tips would be appreciated.

Will upload more of the stuff I do.

Bokeh (derived from Japanese, a noun boke 暈け, meaning “blurred or fuzzy”) is a photographic term referring to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens using a shallow depth of field.^[1] Different lens bokeh produces different aesthetic qualities in out-of-focus backgrounds, which are often used to reduce distractions and emphasize the primary subject.

That’s what Wikipedia has to say about the Bokeh effect.

I think it’s quite spectacular and makes for some very interesting photography and design concepts.

A while ago, Abduzeedo had a nice tutorial on how to accomplish the Bokeh effect in Photoshop, and boy what a stunning result!

In case you’re wondering why I picked Bokeh as my topic for this post, it’s mainly because of the Academy Awards. They’ve consistantly used the Bokeh effect in the Academy Award presentations over the years and fairly successfully might I add.

For those designers or artists who don’t watch the Oscars because it may be beneath them, you might want to reconsider. It’s a great source of inspiration especially for those interested in Interior Design or Architecture or heck even Fashion. Think about it this way, worst-case scenario at least you’ll be able to avoid some major faux pas that you might be able to spot!

Anyway, onto the good stuff. I’ve collected some nice images that truly showcase the Bokeh style. Enjoy!
