JB's Friday 5

Hello Friends,

Friday!? Already!?

#1 – Fake Games

Japanese game store Meteor is once again holding its annual Famicase exhibit, where it asks artists from around the world to submit their original designs for Famicom cartridges. Cartridges for games that don’t actually exist, although some of them really should.

#2 – Future Forms

What ever happened to all the cool weird retro futuristic product designs of years gone by? With industrial design starting to look all same-same, this site has saved and catalogued some of the most memorable and interesting pieces, and even has a few bits for sale.

#3 – Marcel Deneuve

Marcel Deneuve is a concept artist and illustrator who creates some incredible worlds. The sense of scale that he is able to achieve is pretty amazing and just makes you want to dive in.

#4 – Bizarro World

A set of four funny little single shot short films. I really love the inconsequential slice of life drama. Really well done, check it out.

#5 – Waves

I am always blown away by how awesome nature is. Even something as simple as crashing waves can turn into gorgeous artwork as proved by photographer Kevin Krautgartner with this series of aerial photos.

O.K.

That’s it.

JB
