“The First Time I Ran Away” is a beautifully animated music video for M. Ward’s new solo album, “A Wasteland Companion,” set for release on Merge April 10th. The “Him” from the indie music group She & Him is Matthew Stephen Ward, known by his stage name M. Ward, a singer-songwriter and guitarist who rose to prominence in the Portland, Oregon music scene. The delightful animated video was directed by Joel Trussell and his team of animators, who use M. Ward’s lyrics as a basis to tell the three-part story following a girl who’s run away with her pet llama and fish. The soft, pastel colors are a perfect companion to M. Ward’s soothing voice.
This piece includes colorful illustrations and the wonderful animated music video.

OCCUPY GUY FAWKES
A persistent image oft seen among the Occupy milieu these days is a mask depicting a sallow, smirking, moustached alleged likeness of Guy Fawkes, a nearly legendary British failed revolutionary who plotted to blow up Parliament some four centuries ago. The mask was initially created by David Lloyd for Alan Moore’s 1982 graphic novel, V for Vendetta, whose protagonist seeks to destroy the government. Over the Guy Fawkes Day weekend — "Remember, remember, the Fifth of November: the gunpowder treason and plot" — Michael Cavna at ComicRiffs asked Lloyd for his thoughts on the mass appropriation of his mask:

-'Twilight: Breaking Dawn': Are vampire babies even possible?
Since we were raised on a steady diet of "Interview with the Vampire," "Bram Stoker's Dracula," "True Blood," "The Vampire Diaries" and "Twilight," we mostly assumed vampires could only be born, so to speak, when a living human is bitten by a vampire who then allows that human to drink his or her immortality-giving blood. Pop culture lore would also have us believe that when one is transformed into a vampire, she remains forever the age she was at transformation. Hence Kirsten Dunst's little girl vampire in "Interview."
There is some precedence in film ("Grave of the Vampire") and fiction, according to The Daily Rot. Aside from "Breaking Dawn," in Poppy Z. Brite's 1992 novel "Lost Souls," the main character gets knocked up by a vampire. But, alas, the she dies before we find out whether she can carry a baby to term.
But, according to the same site, there's an old Slavic term for the child of a human woman and a vampire father: dhampir.

“A Good Wife” is a brilliant five-minute animated short film by the talented Toronto-based illustrator W. Scott Forbes, featuring the artist’s signature minimalist painterly artwork. The film presents a quiet tragedy of mid-1900′s infidelity, the tale of a woman who is in utter shock over her torrid sexual affair with a man who is not her husband. Tormented by painful regret, she decides not to disclose her infidelity to her family. Thus, the family members carry on as though nothing is wrong, going about their daily lives in blissful ignorance. “A Good Wife” provides powerful imagery and music to narrate its plot, successfully leaving viewers feeling emotionally invested despite its short five-minute duration.
This piece includes colorful illustrations and the animated short film.

- - - - After graduating from London College of Printing, Tim worked as a rock photographer before moving into fashion. Tim’s work has become more diverse as time goes by ‘ which often finds him being booked for trickier assignments due to his ability to handle a complicated brief. Tim Bret-Day is pretty much the shit when it comes to creating images of fantasy, desire and the somewhat ludicrous scenes that high fashion editorial commands. He’s essentially the opposite of a point and shoot kind of photographer, constructing elaborate scenes of nauseating gloss, depth and glamour finished within an inch of its life. So its really no surprise that brands like Agent Provocateur, Harvey Nichols, Adidas, Mercedes and Smirnoff have all come knocking on his door to make them look good. His images have graced the pages of magazine heavyweights such as Harpers and Queen, The Face, Marie Claire, Flaunt etc. Tim’s portfolio is full of astonishing and amazing photos, works of art or whatever you want to call it.

“Prom Night” is a wild, high-energy eight-minute narrative short film by director/performer/choreographer Celia Rowlson-Hall, which premiered at SXSW last year. Rowlson-Hall stars as a/the/your prom-date in this beautiful, surreal, reference-laden piece. The film takes a very simple concept, a look at the cultural trappings that come with dream girls and trips to the prom, and knocks it out of the park.
Hall, who stars in the film, looks straight into the camera and takes the viewer through a dance in an empty school gymnasium decorated for the prom. While The Ronettes’ “Be My Little Baby” plays, through a series of wardrobe alterations and spontaneous costume and hairstyle changes, Hall leads the viewer through a litany of archetypal lovers: from the holy virginal, to Lolita, to Carrie. “Prom Night” is such an engrossing dance/performance short film that you won’t dare take your eyes off of it.
This piece includes color photographs and the completely absorbing short film.

Soa Lee: 3D Illustrator
The Area:
How were you introduced to computers and what was your first graphical software - what led you to 3D software? How did you learn it?
Soa:
Until the freshman year, I was computer illiterate. I was a �naturalist� who cursed computers. (Frankly speaking, I am still not fond of computers.) Back then, dreaming of making a cell animation, I worked as a part time instructor in an art school. One of my colleagues informed me that 3D was a good way to save money on materials and labor costs. The idea that all you needed to make an animation is a computer was very appealing to me. I had to learn both graphics and computers which slowed me down a lot. Photoshop and Shader were my first graphics software, but ever since I learned 3ds Max, it has become my main tool. ~More at

“Born to Die” is the new music video directed by the celebrated photographer/filmmaker Yoann Lemoine, from the chart-topping major label album debut by 25-year-old retro chanteuse Lana Del Rey. A number of malcontent bloggers have taken snarky aim at Del Rey, taking issue with the size of her fantastic pout, with the fact that she changed her name from the far less exotic Lizzy Grant, and for presenting an image they feel is just too cool to be real. Nevertheless, Del Rey comes across like a gangster Lauren Bacall, finds musical inspiration in the bright lights of Monte Carlo and can sing with enough grace and longing to break your heart after just one verse.
This piece includes color photographs and the music video.

Hearings being held in front of the Fremont County Commisioners, in Canon City, CO were well attended by both sides. Supporters out numbered dissenters but everyone wanted to be heard. The latest project called Over the River has been in the works for 20 years and has gotten a small but aggressive resistance the entire time. The last hurdle is approval by the county commissioners.
"This is a $100 million economic gift from Christo over the next two years," said Doug Shane, executive director of the Cañon City Chamber of Commerce. "Advertising value equivalency of this project simply cannot be estimated at this time but can be estimated by taking all of the print, TV chatter, radio chatter, Internet interest and putting a multiplier of three to 10 times what it would cost to purchase that kind of air time."
Mayor Tony Greer and five of Cañon City's six seated council members also voiced their support.

“The Wolf I Used To Be” is a magical animated short film, a collaborative project created by artists at London’s Nearly Normal Studios. The film is a short narrative about a wolf’s drastic life change. Everyone has their own interpretation about what “The Wolf” might mean: it can be seen as a reflection of modern life. The grass always seems to be much greener on the other side, but as is often the case in real life, it truly isn’t.
This piece includes a number of colorful illustrations and the animated short film.

“The Last Goodbye” is a powerfully emotive music video portrait of the rock duo Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince, directed by the Oscar nominated actress Samantha Morton. The Kills celebrate ten years of musical partnership with this poignant and captivating video. The melancholic song “The Last Goodbye” offsets the usually hard-edged sound that Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince are known for, with haunting vocals and a nostalgic piano loop.
Shot in monochrome on crisp, silvery 35mm film, the video reflects the beautiful simplicity of the track, while using an old-school photo-booth to provide an intimate backdrop for Mosshart’s intense and heart-warming opening performance. Her introduction is followed by a series of touching poses that casts a tender light on the musicians’ longstanding and spirited friendship, as Mosshart and Hince share memories of their first meeting and a decade of collaboration.
This piece includes black-and-white photographs and the heart-warming music video.

Many years ago, during my time as a child and through young adulthood, I was immersed in the (sometimes solitary) lavish joys of nature in rural South Carolina. The memories of the steaming, dusty red clay roads and the smells of downstate piney-woods are now fading away, replaced by years of gritty urban life in Chicago’s inner-city. However, that doesn’t mean that now I’ve become completely blind to the beauty of rural landscapes. I just have to enjoy it from the comfort of a chair, in more climate-controlled conditions. So this video is pretty perfect for me.
“Yosemite HD” is an amazing four-minute time-lapse short art film, a collaboration between Sheldon Neill and Colin Delehanty. They made numerous trips to Yosemite National Park, where they captured the beautiful landscape it offers for visitors every year. Set to “Outro,” from M83′s lovely and stratospheric “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming,” this might be the best music video you could ask for. So stop whatever you’re doing right now, put this video in full-screen mode and breath very deeply during the film’s duration!
This piece includes colorful high-resolution photographs, as well as the exhilarating short film.
