Sita Sings the Blues weaves together Flash animation, original watercolor paintings and rotoscoping techniques in this colorful, modern-day take on an ancient Indian epic. This feature-length, computer-generated animated film was rendered entirely by a single animator – Nina Paley, working out of her home office.
This film tells two parallel stories: the ancient Hindu epic the Ramayana and the breakup of Paley’s 21st-century marriage. It does so through four distinct styles of animation, a “greek chorus” of Indonesian shadow puppets and wildly imaginative musical interludes that use authentic 1920s blues recordings to link narratives 3,000 years apart.

Beautiful work from Dutch agency Buro Reng.

A really well done video from Leo Burnett Lisbon, together with Lobo.
Pretty awesome site from the guy that gave us the J. Crew Liquor Store in NYC, Andy Spade (aka. Jack Spade and husband of Kate Spade).
Be sure to check out the illustrated store inventory.
Incredible Brooklyn illustrator that I hadn’t come across until recently. She does an amazing job with detail and capturing the human element. Some are so tight, you’d swear she blended in a real picture. Have a look at her work here.
