Ben Tour

Canadian-born artist Ben Tour (b. 1977) channels a dark, often haunting sense of humanism in his work. His observations deftly inform his paintings, enabling him to capture the essence of a character, and then distort that view any way he desires. Frenetic lines, swaths of color, and intimate angles all convey a sense that Tour may not only be drawing inspiration from the lives of strangers he observes, but manifesting his own personal experiences as well. Ben Tour lives on the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia with his Wife and two children.

Stardust

to continue in the motiongraphic sense of view or posting, I'd see this as an opportunity to introduce you to another big inspiration of ours (or at least me): Stardust

Stardust is a well known motion graphic agency, who worked for likes of Boss, Microsoft, Pepsi and many others. (click on the images or here to see more of their work)

Fell in love. Again.

These vids are awesome. They inspire me to get my own camera and just go out there. They are the reason for my motion graphics fever.
