Also, Filmwad have an interesting article on ‘Directors Cuts’ of films, most noteable is what they have to say about Blade Runner.
Also, an article on Wired about NASA and how they don’t really have great priorities.
The above image, They came by water Oil on canvas, is from John Marsden’s The Rabbits. Shaun Tan is the illustrator / artist and his work is amazing. The story is quite good too until it mentions the ’stolen children’. The whole thing is the story of Australia and early settlement, but it shows a very one sided view, which is not something to be proud of in what seems to be a childrens book.
Anyway politics aside, Shaun Tan also has his own wordless graphic novel called The Arrival which is fantastic.
Peter Doherty’s Blood Paintings are mentioned in the Daily Mail. The second one (Cell portrait: Number 3 On The Twos) is quite good.
Lastly, Wired Magazine: The Science of Pop-Ups.
The above art is by decrepticon from their Myspace who’s layout was made by these lads. But what is really cool is not only do they have a myspace but they also have a website.
Check out Boro Pat, a Northern spoof of Postman Pat.
Also while I am listing cool things, FashionAu is a great Myspace which has a focus on Australian Fashion.
