I’m hooked on pictures, as some of you may know. And since I haven’t shared for a while, I thought I’d throw in a few examples of the visual delights I’ve been discovering. Some of these go into my art blog for student inspiration and others are just chucked into Diigo.

Matatoro is directed by Mauro Carraro, Raphaël Calamote, and Jérémy Pasquet. Motionographer has a fascinating post with an interview with the film makers on the process of the making of the film.
Watch the film on Vimeo. You will not regret it; it’s brilliant.
