Lovely Videos

Today I have seen two videos on Youtube which I think are worth watching.

The first is a collection of drawings from a Chilean artist called Fredo. He makes his drawings look 3D and I personally think he produces great art work.


The second video is amazing and a touch emotional, if you like monkeys and chimps like I do then you have to watch it. The chimps are released into the sunlight for the first time in their lives after being tested on in labs. Their reaction is so heart-warming and human-like that you can't help but feel extremely sorry for them and angry that they have been treated like emotionless animals because they clearly prove otherwise!

This Little Piggy

Recently my dissertation has swamped my life. It is based on brand names, advertising and cognition so my brain is full of stuff about this and it seems that I can't not think about advertising. Whilst sitting in my room I started doodling and ended up drawing this little pig. Then I decided that this should be the one out of the five little pigs that went to market. When looking at my little drawing I though that if we all get sick of Alexander the meerkat we could possibly have a little pig that went to market.. and then a cleverer little pig who went to compare it instead. Ah well, either way, here he is.

Look a Little Closer

Whilst I was away in France my brother was talking about a website where people take photos of things that have faces (Things With Faces) and upload for all to see. I tried looking for faces however it proves quite difficult (unless you count the odd plug socket or door handle) and I was unsuccessful.

I did however manage to take a photo of what I think looks like some kind of deer (or other animal of similar build) drinking from a semi-frozen waterfall. See what you think...
This is the original image...



..and here is the edited version if you need a little help spotting it!
Let me know what you think!

Graffiti

Is it art or crime? 

Whilst driving down then mountain leaving Val D'Isere I put my camera to the window and got snap happy. For some I had no idea what I was taking and after looking back at them I realised I'd captured things I hadn't even seen whilst taking the photo.

I tried taking a picture of a mountain and noticed I actually captured a lot of graffiti and personally I thought it looked good. So I edited the picture to put emphasis on the graffiti instead of the mountain. I think it's art but see what you think.
