Shat Shat Revolution, car cutaways, and more
"Some creators love a great sunset; some have in mind my bloodshot eyes..." So says William Shatner of The Shatner Show, a gallery presentation and now book of artwork inspired by the man, rendered in every conceivable medium (including Lego). B to the zzare. The project reminds me a bit of Naoki Mitsuse's Elvis Paintings. (I have a particular soft spot for Tiny Elvis.)
In other illustration news:
- Juan Francisco Casas creates large-format artwork using just a ballpoint pen. In looking at the images, I could swear I just smelled that sticky, sickly Bic scent. [Via]
- The Periodic Table of Elements Printmaking Project brought together 96 artists "to produce 118 prints in any medium; woodcut, linocut, monotype, etching, lithograph, silkscreen, or any combination." Etsy hosts an interview with the organizers. (Apparently my blog is Hassium-powered.) [Via Petra]
- 8-bit jams:
- Jimi Benedict has made a rather great Super Mario portrait. He's also made some obligatory Obama artwork (quite the little cottage industry these days). Oh, and his riot of death-rod imagery makes me think of the recruiting poster my old friend Adam Symons created for AGENCY.COM back in the day (simply

- Automotive:
- General Motors CEO Bob Lutz gets into the digital manipulation game, posting a "photochopped" Corvette police car design. And if that's up your alley check out Rafael Reston's Chrysler 'Cuda mockup.
- Cartype features a huge gallery of car cutaways. [Via]
- Logos:
- Get ready for 5000 Web Apps in 333 Seconds. (If you watch for more than a few seconds, try not to swallow your tongue.) [Via]
- Genius steals? Behold these Automotive logo ripoffs. [Via]
- Wilhelm Deffke was a trailblazing German identity designer. I'm guessing there's one work he'd like to omit from his portfolio, however.
- Musical Notes
- Play "Connect the Notes" with the Berliner Philharmoniker.
- This ad seem to say, "Our jazz radio makes people puke!"

Damn, those were dope. I have all the cutaway books for Star Wars vehicles and weapons.
That's so true!
You have wonderful humor.
Dude, I totally forgot about that recruiting poster. Why they didn't go with that design, I'll never know.
[Heh. Yours was far better than mine (which consisted of an absurdist swipe at Razorfish. --J.]
