I’m a big fan of recycling, and also a big fan of art. Makes sense that I would REALLY be a fan of recycling that IS art. I was taken aback when I saw these paintings by Nick Gentry. By far, the best use of floppy disks since 1998 that I’ve ever seen.

Coming soon: blue models for the Dems. Genius.

I know that green screen is utilized a lot in movies/tv/news, but I had no idea it was used THIS much. I have a new level of appreciation for the actors talking to green walls and making it all seem real.
I can’t believe I missed this from 2010-

I LOVE the respect the Google folks are giving the older ad peeps, and the insight into both processes.
This would work well as a NIN music video.
