I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it.
There are some truly remarkable places to work in this world but few opportunities to really see them up close. Corey Arnold is a Photographer who has worked for most of his adult life as a commercial fisherman and his images of life onboard these ships are powerful and frightening but also shot through with humour.
Taking a superbly trained eye to consumer culture we have US photographer Brian Ulrich.

I was born when this music video was the high water mark for computer graphics and I've watched as 3D modeling software evolved to allow for astounding photorealistic images and animation.

Every once in a while my dad cracks his knuckles and heads off to the garage and produces some marvelous work of art.

I've been living in illustrator for the last couple of weeks and I thought I'd take a break from grids and pen tools to mention a two of my favourite minimalist illustrators starting with UK artist Robert Hanson.
We Buy Your Kids
Richard Pendavingh
14.12.09
Melbourne is amping up for 2010s Laneway Festival and the organisation is busy assuring the local indie music fans that they wont be taking the rough and ready approach they did last year that resulted in a great number of pissed off people in plaid shirts and skinny jeans. But if you dig the lineup for next year, or you've seen the promo posters, then you've seen the work of We Buy Your Kids.

I held off posting these photos because I didn't want to inadvertently promote the Star Wars exhibit at Melbourne's Scienceworks. But it's finished now so there's no danger of that.
Seeing the Forest and the Trees

These business cards were made for Thomas Fairman, a Forest Scientist from the University of Melbourne working on land carbon reserves in Victoria. The design was done by yours truly with printing by West-Australian company Saltprint. They offer a range of 100% recycled paper stock which use a mix of totally chlorine-free and elemental chlorine-free pulp fibers and part of their commitment to the environment includes planting one native tree for every order to offset the carbon cost of the printing. They also use renewable energy sources like wind and hydro for most (92%)of their power requirements.

Green Ties

NewPage Corporation is one of the largest pulp mill and paper distributing companies in the world and, at first glance, it seems to be a company that is taking its corporate responsibility seriously. Much of their website is devoted to the policies and systems put in place by NewPage to offset the carbon 'footprint' of the organisation. Their stated intentions are certainly commendable. Often times it is a lack of transparency and oversight that allow large companies to continue practices with high short-term returns at the expense of the natural environment in the long term. In lieu of that, NewPage appears to be doing just what their name suggests; stepping up and educating the public and retailers on best practices when it comes to sustainability.
Living Light

Living Light is an interactive architectural installation in South Korea's capital Seuol designed by American and Korean architects David Benjamin and Soo-in Yang. It's part of an ambitious project aimed at creating structures that respond to both the physical and cultural environment. In their words the Living Architecture Lab aims to "to make visible the invisible forces that shape our world".
