I'm feeling pretty basic and tired today so I thought I'd throw out there a couple of my favourites at this moment in time before I curl up under my freshly changed sheets with Season 3 Episode 2 of 'The Wire' and wonder what I did before I had Omar in my life.
So up first an incredible animation by those clever fellows who did all of those amazing Amazon Kindle adverts - Ithyle Griffith and Angela Kohner. What I would give to have that hair...
Secondly an animation that everyone subscribed to craftzine should recognise: 'Dot' the smallest stop motion gal in the west - extra fierce for her mad knitting skillz! A collaboration between Aardman and Nokia using their super duper new microscope lens
The beautiful Pen Story - they shot 60,000 pictures, developed 9,600 and used no post production - sometimes I just love people.
Another similar to 'Lost things' is 'Her Morning Elegance' by Oren Lavie, Yuval & Merav Nathan
Another 2D beauty with wonderful hair.
Dammit! There are one million more but I can't remember them right now as my brain is toast. Will do an update later on.
Plus an added bonus of the 'fuck fuck fuck scene' from season 1 of 'The Wire' which is deffo NSFW with rampant swearing and some breasts thrown in for good measure,
And an added recommendation - you should, if you have not already start watching 'The Wire'. Fantastic intelligent depiction of a dying city, and a rare television show without heroes and that does not treat you like an idiot. A towering feat!
Almost as good as Battlestar....
