Lego has to be right up there on the “Most exciting brands to work on” list. Following the award winning “Go Miniman Go!” campaign, Pereira O’Dell just launched their latest batch of work - a short film entitled CL!CK (shown below) that leads users on to the LEGO CL!CK website which promises to provide tips, istories and inspiration to the Lego community.

Pereira O’Dell brings the community of Lego inventors, artists and fans together at Lego Click, an online destination that celebrates and fosters great ideas and problem-solving–or what the brand calls “Click” moments. The company’s first iPhone app, Lego Photo— which filters users’ photos into Lego-like pixels, jumpstarted the push.

From that I discovered Google’s new open source project called Google Wave. It’s simply described as “a new tool for communication and collaboration on the web”, but it’s soooo much more than that. Really worth checking out. Watch the hour-long presentation below, or click here for the easier and shorter about blurb.

Brock Davis is an artist and musician who works on primarily self-initiated projects in a variety of mediums. He currently serves as creative director at Carmichael Lynch where his work has won such accolades as the prestigious Cannes Lion award for creative excellence. Not limiting himself to advertising, Brock’s talents span music, drawing, graphic design, writing, works of art both serious and absurd, and a killer instinct for video games. The one constant is an exceptional track record for transforming humor and insights into work that gets a reaction.

I absolutely love his work. As I was browsing through the portfolio, I found myself constantly saying to myself “Why didn’t I think of that?!?!?!”. Really dig the wit and sense of humour he brings through his work, and love the simplicity of the ideas. His work really proves that the best ideas don’t need to be over-complicated and elaborate, and simplicity reigns supreme.

BARE! The am i collective’s latest project marries our motley in-house talents with a handpicked crop of outside artists to share in our vision – provoking boundary pushing art while helping others. We’ve prettied up the soon-to-be-famous, limited edition, 40cm-tall BAREs. Next we want to send these beasties to galleries in all corners of the world. Then we’ll auction them off, on line. Before finally donating all the proceeds to child welfare. Because BARE really cares about you. And the children.

Stonewall’s own Nicolas Rix took part and was also featured - see below.

Absolutely flawless, and yes, it’s a single take. Well, it took 40 tries to get it right, but the end result is phenomenal.

I’ve been doing some research into pixel art for an upcoming project and came across a fantastic blog post by Simon Page. He’s compiled a great list of examples and reference sites, in case you ever need to get up close and personal with pixels once again. Check it out here.

“The stage has no front or back. Nor does it have the stacks of amplifiers that have been a rock concert fixture since the early days of the Grateful Dead. Instead, the speakers are embedded in four legs that rise 164 feet to support a cylindrical video screen,” Fast Company magazine reported.

“Lovingly dubbed the Claw by the band and the army of crew members needed to erect it on a nightly basis, the stage — anchored in the middle of the field — features a giant 360 video screen, flowing silk screens and a light show that would make Pink Floyd jealous.” - Rolling Stone

The video screen is in fact 888 individual tiny LED screens that covers 3,800 square feet, weighs 60 tons and changes shape during the performance. The set was designed Hoberman Associates; Innovative Designs, which specializes in stage architecture; and Buro Happold, a structural engineering firm.
