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).

Without a doubt, Stoner’s surf photography has influenced the way I look at the world, perhaps more so than any other artist’s work. If you’re not familiar with Ron Stoner’s story, it’s an incredible rise to surf stardom, capped by his abrupt disappearance at the height of his game.

A retrospective of his work called, “Photo/Stoner,” is one of my most prized possessions.
