Familjen Video. INSPIRING!
Familjen a.k.a. Johan T Karlsson, a Swedish techno/electropop artist, has blown my mind with the video for the song ‘Det Snurrar I Min Skalle’. That is Swedish for ‘It’s Spinning Inside My Head’. Directed by Johan Söderberg, the video is a mash-up remix of footage from a tent revival. I am hesitant to even use […]

So Me…So Good
So Me, the artist who did Justice’s Grammy winning D.A.N.C.E. video done did it again. This time the motion graphics and retro mash-up typography jive to Justice “DVNO”. Somehow So Me has found a perfect balance between cheese-ball pre-set effects and genuinely crafted retro-ish motion graphics. I can’t get enough of the amazing transitions throughout […]

Our deepest fear…
Below is an excerpt from Return to Love, a book written by Marianne Williamson. This was posted on the ANP Blog almost two months ago, but I wanted to post it here, hoping that a few more people would read it. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, Our deepest fear is that […]

Thomas Campbell…an inspiration
The VBS show Hi-Shredability has posted the first of a three part segment on Thomas Campbell. Thomas has long been an inspiration. The natural beauty of his films, the poetic humor within his paintings, and vibrant colors found in his photographs. His overall approach as a contemporary renaissance man is one that I admire. Thomas […]

Miniature Tents!
Camping is always an adventure. The last time I went camping was with three fine friends of mine. It was a joyous alternative Spring Break! Nature walks, Firewood collecting, Lost car keys, Below freezing temperatures (whiskey), Grilling, and a STORM! All these memories were triggered when I walked past some miniature tent displays at Target […]

The past few days I’ve been crushing my brain for ideas and inspiration while working on the Jetty Winter 2008 Inspiration. While searching endlessly for images to match the vision in my head I came across two very cool things. The first is a website called FFFFOUND! Its still in Beta testing but it is […]

Corita Kent
I’ve seen Corita Kent’s work before but was really turned onto it after reading about her in an ANP Quarterly some months ago. I scanned a page from ANP which shows rules which she had written for her art class at Immaculate Heart College where she taught. There is a lot to be learned from […]

Wes Anderson
So I haven’t seen Wes Anderson’s latest film The Darjeeling Limited but I have to say that after every film he makes I’m more and more inspired. Everything from the writing, the acting, the character development, soundtracks, and the branding and identity of the films is on point. Wes Anderson has a formula and sticks […]
