Lovely illustrations by designer and animator Rexbox. Found these as a result of looking at the new 2012 Olympic mascots. I think Rexbox’s little characters would have been a fantastic visual to accompany and carry the enthusiasm of the Olympics. These guys are incredibly cute and have so much emotion. Too bad the mascots used are nothing like these. But check out Rexbox’s other cool works.

Found this BEAUTIFUL time lapse short from Sean Stiegemeier covering the Icelandic volcano eruption. I can’t even fathom how to pronounce the name of that thing. The wonderful overlay music is by Jónsi. Check out Sean’s Vimeo page and website for some more extremely superb film and photography.
