Leave it to Ratatat to make Getty stock video footage awesome: The new Drugs video, directed by Carl Burgess, and produced by Blink Art & Colonel Blimp.

Though I’m still partial to their Falcon Jab video, and this Wilford Brimley mashup.

Days with My Father is a contemplative and incredibly moving photographic journal, documenting Philip Toledano’s relationship with his aging father over a span of three years.

Two years ago, I posted about the site. I am excited to share that the complete project is now available as a book.

Also, here is a video of Mr. Toledano talking about the work on CNN.

(Thank you, Phil)

Too cute. In celebration of Pac-Man’s 30th birthday today, Google features a playable Pac-Man game in their homepage logo! Love the Insert Coin button.

Update: Thanks to those of you who pointed out that hitting the Insert Coin button a second time selects 2-player mode, with Ms. Pac-Man!

Update 2, The Sequel: Google now has a permanent Pac-Man URL for those of us that missed it on the homepage!

Stop The Violence is a series by photographer Francois Robert, who uses human bones to construct symbols of war and violence. From the artist:

The human skeleton is a powerful visual symbol. It’s come to represent the “remains”, what’s left after life has ended, after the flesh and mind cease to function. In my photographs, I use the human skeleton as the formal visual element, the subject of the image. In this manner, the skeleton is both the protagonist and antagonist (the Buddhist notion about, “the duality of man” seems apt.

For each photograph I disassemble the modular system of the skeleton and reconfigure the elements to form a new image. These images are man made. Images of aggression, images that cause suffering, devastation and conflict. I intend the images to plant the notion of restraint and charity in an effort to promote peace and tolerance.

You might remember Robert from his Contents series.

Just caught wind of this gorgeous Dumbo-area triplex clock tower penthouse apartment (with electronically synchronized clock-windows, glass-walled elevator, and view overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge) that could have been yours late last year for a mere $25 million.

Such an amazing illustration. ~~It has been traveling around Tumblr for a little while now, with no sign of whose work it is. The original image is on the Behance servers, but I cannot find the profile associated with it.~~

~~Can any of you help to identify the artist?~~

You guys are the best. Big thanks to commenter Justin, and fellow Tumblrerers heybecky and wbh for identifying the artist as none other than Sweden’s own Annika Bäckström, a wonderful artist who has graced my blog before.

Her beautiful piece above is Höra ihop.
