World champion sand sculptor JOOheng Tan was recently asked by ad agency Lowe in Singapore to help create these impressive backdrops for an OMO washing detergent ad campaign. In an age when something like this could have been created digitally, they asked Tan to physically build three 18-ton sand sculptures to be used as backdrops in ads encouraging kids to get dirty.

Awesome JOOheng Tan

Glug Brighton!:

Oh yes. As a ‘first-time-caller. Long-time-listener’ to Glug I am very much looking forward to getting inspired, meeting great designers and listening to them speak/watching them work LIVE/drink a beer or two with.

Almost complete

Yes, it’s almost the end of my time at #Shillington_ armed with a strong portfolio of work to go forth and design. I will be migrating some of my online identities to iampeterking.co.uk in the coming months. Branding is almost done for this and the DMs will be going out by August—if not before.

Making a Flamenco Guitar. We love videos about music and making instruments and this vid by Deep Green Sea is another beautiful piece to add to our list. Mixing art with measurement and sound, they not only show the detail of the craft, but they overlay wonderful descriptive text and geometric elements in the shots, too.

The Art of Making series condensed 299 hours of blood, sweat, and tears into a three-minute film, highlighting the craftsmanship behind guitar maker Vassilis Lazarides’ handmade Flamenco guitars.

More instruments being made: Cymbals, a Steel Drum, and a Violin.

That’s f**kin’ craftsmanship right there.

The Caterpillar and the Brook is from the animated series Minuscule. A French-made collection of short stories, Minuscule is about the private lives of ants, snails, bees, caterpillars, wasps, spiders and other tiny creatures, all told without any speaking at all. Highly recommended! For a caterpillar double feature, enjoy Caterpillars in Pairs:

And for the kid’s favorite Minuscule short of the series, finish up with zzzeplin, about a spider and a balloon.

Thanks, Annie.

These animations are all superb. Lovely stories told visually.

A chance earlier tube stop caused me to climb the 311 steps of Monument and catch the panoramic views down the Thames.

Our friend Flippycat has done it again… this time with a cascade of 60,000 dominoes (a personal record). It’s built from 60 walls of 990 dominoes each (plus a bit extra) — making a 14 foot long piece in over 8 days of work. And of course there were quite a few accidents making it, which every kid should see.

Insane. Just insane.
I don’t know how you could stand the frustration of the bloopers involved in this set up. Hats off to ya!
