If you don’t already know about this by now, you’re probably not cool enough. Try harder to be cool. This stop motion/graffiti/wall art is mind blowing. The only reason I can get away with posting this about 10 days after it was posted to you tube is that nobody actually reads my blog…yet. Yeah, I can see the numbers of visitors, where you live, who you voted for, and if you’re a jackass or not. If you’re not a jackass…then you already know this is good. Good shit. The world needs more brains like this man.
I would love to see what this man’s creative process was/is. The flow and rhythm of the animations made it seem that it was all improv and he just kind of let the art grow organically. Is that possible? From my experience, execution that looks like it authentically lacks planning and grew without a game plan or a map, takes so much more planning. Take my hair today for example. I like to think I have a nice head of straight-enough and dark-enough hair. Nothing to write home about, but hey. When I am faced with the difficult task of styling my hair, I have two options. I can spend ten minutes in the shower washing my hair and other human things, and five minutes getting my hair ‘just right’. Just right entails looking like I try hard enough at my hair to make it look like I rolled out of bed, but I’m put together enough not to care (but I do). Confused yet? Or, I could just actually roll out of bed. But, then it would look like I actually rolled out of bed. Ew. There might still be drool.
So:
a) I like this guy. He can be my friend because he is good at art and I like people who are good at art.
b) It takes infinitely more effort to make it look like you don’t care, as opposed to actually not caring. I have a feeling this was a well planned, strategized and researched project. Creativity takes a lot of planning, a lot. Just ask any art student in Kinko’s at 3am.
