Nike animation

Posted by – 28 April, 2009

I can’t stop watching this.  Drawn by illustrator James Jarvis and animated by Richard Kenworthy.  For true appreciation watch it fullscreen on Vimeo; otherwise..

..and then while wandering around on YouTube I found this collection of videos of artists’ sketchbooks from the Moleskine City Notebook Exhibition 2006.  Sketchbook heaven – this one below, by stage designer & painter Stefano Faravelli, is kind of amazing.

Am also v impressed by this guy, Chris Dent. He is a patient man.  For more of these go here.

Mini oil

I saw these mini easel and canvas sets in my local art shop and had to get one.  This is an oil of Lake Ullswater in Cumbria, after a recent visit at dusk.
