I have been really in the Christmas spirit especially since exam week has begun! These are some images of Christmas lights. The top one is in New York City and the bottom one is an ornament surrounded by colored lights. These images really get me in the holiday spirit! :)

I've always thought drawings or videos of something running was so amazing. I love any scenes in movies that have someone running or riding a horse along side the camera because I feel like it's not an angle we naturally see. I think it would be interesting to do a project of a drawing or animation with a running sequence. 

I found this tattoo artist a few years ago while my sister was planning her tattoo. He goes by Dr. Woo, and is one of the most booked tattoo artists in the country. Many people like his art style because of its extremely detailed look using geometric shapes. These shapes and thin lines are unique to him, making his tattoos easy to point out, and hard to recreate. Here are some of my favorite tattoos by him-

This is my favorite music video not only because of the song and the band but also because the video has a constant artistic scenery change using only a few props and video projection. The end result is truly beautiful.

With Christmas coming up very soon I see more and more girls getting their nails done. I love the great amount of detail that some people are able to do in such a tiny amount of space. I can't even imagine trying to work in such a tiny space. They look great though. I wonder how long it takes and how much practice you need to have to get that advanced!?

           In the Disney Pixar films they always feature a short clip before the actual movie done by a small group of people who excel at graphic design and story telling. This one is one of my most memorable short films ever for me growing up as a kid. I loved the way they told the story of the old man playing chess against himself and how  such a simple story can get so intense. Even though its not the best animation to what we have today, its still one of my favorite short films for its simplicity and its humor.

I found an interesting photography series titled 'Dream Chapter', in which every photograph seems surreal and fairytale-like although nothing has been altered in post. It gives an interesting perspective to the idea that certain lighting and props can change the feel of a photograph altogether, even when the subjects and places really do exist. The entire series can be found here .
