Dropbear's latest stop-motion

920 pencils and 5125 images is what what Jonathan Chong (also called Dropbear) needed to put together this very neat stop-motion for the Melbourne-based indie-folk band called Hudson. Enjoy it below.

Also included is a “behind the scenes” footage just to tell you how much work this sort of work involves, loads, no really a tremendous amount of time and patience!

Sean Avery's sculptures of broken CDs

When having CDs is becoming so nineties, everything getsstored online in the cloud as they call it, Meet Sean Avery, a talented artist, thought twice about discarding his CDs and have found a way of turning them into amazing and crafted animal sculptures.

Sean Avery has created a series of sculptures—from bears to peregrine falcons and even the Loch Ness monster thanks to a clever use of the reflective splinters of his CDs. There is no much more to say to appreciate the time, effort and above all talent in his artwork.

Nick Gentry is another artist who recycles once very useful objects. His thing are floppy disks used to make up portraits.

The humming bird and the rat are just superb. Have a look below.

Nikita Nomerz, street at from Russia

What Nikita Nomerz needs to make his art are walls but not just any wall. His preference goes towards dilapidates ones with broken windows or any sort of holes which he will use in his compositions often depicting a laughing face.

Along a few pictures of his work, I have included below a time lapse video which shows Nikita Nomerz painting one of his now recognizable face somewhere in Russia

He says: “I started in school with classic hip hop graffiti but became more interested in street art and began all sorts of experiments. Now basically I like to play with space and objects. I am inspired by the place itself. I love watching the city and finding an interesting point. Usually I do not spend so much time to create one work, sometimes less than an hour. But it all depends on the size of the object and my ideas. (source: The Telegraph)
