I love Metal, Rock, Punk, pretty much anything with a guitar and drums destroying my eardrums. I also love history. My buddy sent me this link and i thought it was so cool i would post it up here on our wonderful creative blog.

The Map of Metal gives you an interactive patch sewn experience exploring the history of Metal. You get to preview all the great songs from each period/sector  with a brief writeup as well.

Official music video for Blockhead’s “The Music Scene”

3 Comments Illustration, Inspiration, Motion Graphics, Video

This is an amazing animated video for the artist Blockehead. The style reminds me of Hayao Miyazaki’s “Princess Mononoke”… organic and free flowing.

“An animated mind melt into a post human New York where TV and animals rule. All cast to the sincerely melodic soul of Blockhead’s ‘The Music Scene.’”

HTML5 Comic book – Never Mind The Bullets

2 Comments Code, CSS, Design, HTML, Illustration, Inspiration, Javascript

HTML 5 has created a lot of buzzzzzzz. It has been named “The Flash Killer”. Which in my opinion is wrong… at least for the next couple years till technology throws another wrench in things, flash will still be VERY useful . There are however things that HTML & JQuery can pull off that warrant’s projects not being built in flash. Enough of my POV on HTML5 v.s. Flash.

“Never Mind The Bullets” was a created by Microsoft & Steaw Web Design. It shows a different approach to the comic book experience with enhanced effects and movement with parallax. Move your mouse around and check out this awesome example of what HTML 5 is capable of.
