CalTech Students Turn NYC Art Into Giant ‘Portal’ Companion Cube Posted: 19 Dec 2011 06:38 PM PST There's a lot of great works of art out there, many of which reside in public places for all the world to see. long as it's not damaging to said works of art. And while we all have much respect for said works of art, there's not a thing wrong with wanting to geek things up a bit from time to time, so long as it's not damaging to said works of art. Which brings us to Astor Place in New York City's Manhattan borough, home of the sculpture called Alamo (seen here).

See Cover Art Come To Life In ‘Star Wars’ Time Lapsed Video Posted: 19 Dec 2011 12:30 PM PST Dark Horse Comics released a time lapsed video on Monday through io9 that shows the artistic process of creating the cover for the third issue of the upcoming Star Wars: Blood Dies - Boba Fett Is Dead #3 by artist Chris Scalf. Time-lapsed art videos are always really cool to me, especially with digital art as it's something that greatly interests me. And this video from Chris Scalf is no exception. In the video we see the cover grow from a digital sketch to a fully realized comic book cover through the process of digitally inking and colors all of the minute details. [...]
