Here Comes A New Challenger

My new favourite artist -- James Blagden.

Creator of the now legendary "Dock Ellis & The LSD No-No" animation, as well as an upcoming accompaniment to Ice Cube's "30 for 30" documentary on the L.A. Raiders.




Love those acid-trippy colours and bizarro-surreal subject matter.

Bumaye

Three cool animations made by NYC label/agency No Mas in celebration of the 35th anniversary of 'The Rumble in the Jungle'.

"Zaire" by David Rathman



"Round Zero" by Jerome Lagarrigue



"Godfather of Soul vs Greatest of All Time" by James Blagden



I particularly love the look of "Round Zero". One day, if I ever have the time, patience, and talent to paint like that, I'd love to try my hand at a much more ambitious animation project.

[Note: apologies, I can't get the videos to fit full screen and it's driving me nuts. Here's another link to be safe.]
