I stumbled across this great little short film about hand-painted advertisements created by Mother NY and Stella Artois. It’s beautiful, nostalgic, inspiring: everything you’d expect it to be.

Alex Roman has created one of the most awe-inspiring full CGI works that I’ve ever seen. Doesn’t hurt that it features some of the greatest architecture in the world, either. It’s really worth going over to Vimeo and checking it out in fullscreen HD (they won’t let me embed it).

Niels “Shoe” Meulman is a super-talented graffiti artist and creative director from Amsterdam. His work is so good, I’m actually shocked that I haven’t seen it before. He has a new book out, called “Calligraffiti” that looks fantastic.
Love the embossed leather label. This is a well-done product, from top to bottom. Bravo.

This is the second part in a series of beautiful videos on coffee making at Intelligentsia in Venice, California. Video by the Dept. of the Fourth Dimension.

Thanks to Dan Cederholm for highlighting the first video in this series over at SimpleBits.
