Here’s a great piece by the team at Machineast in Singapore. They developed this 3D logo for a Filipino goth rock band. I love the use of color, and the choice of typeface and filigrees is perfect for describing what the band is all about. I wish this piece was animated, but great work nonetheless!

I found this great illustration project by Florian Schommer recently. I love the aesthetic here; I especially love the muted color palette. His renderings of everyday objects perfectly straddles the line between flat 2D and dimensional 3D. Nice work! See Florian’s entire post...

I had a few days off recently, so I decided to tackle a modeling/animation project that’s been in my head for a few months. I’ve always loved looking at these huge JumboTrons that hang down from the ceiling in the center of sports arenas. These fascinate me. They’re really complex, insect-like, and provide spectators in-the-round with live information about the game. Basically, these JumboTrons are like cylindrical stage shows, boasting absolutely huge screens, moving lighting arrays and enormous speakers. I think most people don’t even realize how involved these things are, not to mention the team of talented people it takes to run them! Anyway, I thought it would be fun to build the basic parts of a JumboTron and a stadium and see if I could bring them to life....
