Melissanthi - Olga Zervou

Melissanthi (born Olga Zervou) is a versatile photographer working out of Greece.  She utilizes some interesting techniques and concepts, like in the image above, that lend a certain originality to her work.  See more from her after the jump (title link).

RéJean

RéJean is a wonderfully good concept artist hailing out of Japan.  I'm intrigued by the wide-hipped women and inky shading techniques.  See more of RéJean's awesome work here for the Deviant Art page and after the title link for the website.

Big Boi - For Your Sorrows ft. George Clinton and Too $hort

Here's Big Boi's latest video for his single "For Your Sorrows".  Featuring George Clinton and Too $hort, it's as trippy as you'd expect.  If Andre decides to drop his album this year, expect these two to have the best records out in 2010.

Lion - FTW! - Limelight and Tracklist

Another drop from the FTW! (For the Win!) mixtape coming out March 18th.  This song is titled "Limelight".  Cover art coming soon.

Listen to and Download: Limelight

FTW! Tracklist:

OK Go - This Too Shall Pass

OK Go consistently make some of the best videos but this one has to be seen to be believed.  They've mastered the longshot like no other band and the song is fantastic.  So many of the pieces are so clever and creative, you wish you were there when they were building it, or at least when they tried it out.  Via Video Static.

Ice Skating Chimps

There's not much else to say.

The Observatory - Killer Whales... uh, Kill

Observations:

Are we seriously still on the whole Sea World fiasco?  Have we forgotten that the Earth has just been hit with two devastating earthquakes and that scientists believe America is next in line?  Perhaps our full attention should be directed there.  Of course we should be saddened by the loss of any human life, but it wasn't like she didn't know the dangers of working with a wild animal.  I mean, it is one of the largest carnivorous animals in the world. It does travel in packs.  It does live in an environment that humans do not.   It even has 'killer' in the name!

woxys

 

I am quite the fan of the cat before you for obvious reasons.  I am also incredibly impressed that someone can capture a photo so masterfully.  The photographer's name is woxys of the Czech Republic, and she is meant to hold a camera.  See more of her work after the jump (title link).

Nasimo

Nasimo is definitely one of my favorite graffitti artists.  When it comes to aesthetics, he just cannot be touched.  Everything about his work looks terrific.  See more of his work on his website www.nasimo.org and on his Deviant Art page after the jump (title link).

20 Badass Comic Book Heroes that are Cool on Purpose - #10

Batman - born Bruce Wayne

Bruce Wayne is entirely human.  In fact, he's the only person on this list with no superpowers, and he's still a mainstay in the Justice League.  As a child, both of Bruce's parents were gunned down before him by a robber on the streets of Gotham.  In a vow of badassery, he swore to protect the people of Gotham from that ever happening to anyone again.

Kaos in King Street Trailer

Here's the official trailer for Kaos in King Street.  Make sure you go see it if you can on March 6th.

Kaos in King Street

Luke Cavalan aka LC Beats is an Australian based graduate of AFTRS (Australian Film Television and Radio School).  A screening of Luke's newest project Kaos in King Street will be screening March 6th at The Vanishing Point Gallery, 565 King Street, Newtown.  The art and animation look impressive, but even more so is the reasoning behind the project.  I'll let Luke explain:

Lion - FTW! Leak

Here are two random songs from my upcoming mixtape FTW! (For the Win!).  Neither of these are singles so you can only imagine how the rest of the mixtape will sound.  "Stylo" is a Biggie sample I made and "Good Times" is produced by none other than Marvel himself.  FTW! will drop on March 18th, just in time for the first round of the Final Four.  Enjoy.

Korgoth of Barbaria

Rarely has there been a show so barbaric, violent and manly.  It is no less than a shame that this show was not put into full production.  If you somehow have not seen this pilot, you're in for a treat.  See part two and three below.

Banish/Applaud

Banish:

1. Sandra Bullock.
2. Infomercials.
3. Good Charlotte.
4. Animal print anything.
5. Moving.  Hire movers.  You will thank me.
6. Worrying.
7. Pokemon that weren't the original 151.
8. The recorder.   What a dumb instrument.
9. 90% of the Winter Olympics... especially figure skating.
10. People who don't use their turn signals.  It's only takes one finger!  How lazy can you be!?

Applaud:

1. Archer on FX. It's like they made this show especially for me.
2. Tyler the Creator. He says the most offensive shit and I still love to listen to him.
3. The iPad.
4. Solitary 4.0. The best reality show ever is back.
5. Taquitos.
6. Toonami.  Bring it back.
7. The original 151 Pokemon.
8. Bayonetta.  It's like Devil May Cry meets God of War meets Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball.  The only bad part is the Japanese humor.
9. Janelle Monae's "Tightrope" ft. Big Boi.  You will dance.
10.Hurt Locker.  Unbelievable.

See ya Space Cowboys...

God of War III - Gameplay Trailer

The most badass game in history returns with the third installment.  I posted the first trailer a while back, but this one is composed solely of gameplay.  With this game, Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain coming out, it looks like I'll need to get that PS3 sooner than I thought.
