CG ads are being done fairly often these days, but that doesn’t mean they’re being done well. This exception comes from a very unlikely place – Kia, home of the cheap car. Somehow, they almost make Kias look fun with their Hamster series of commercials. Ch-ch-check it out.

We all have those friends who wish they could “Copy and paste” in real-life and take more pride over their digital desktop than their physical one. Imagine if those guys ran an office…
Actually, why isn’t life like this?
The terrifying walking war machines of The Empire Strikes Back are back, this time as little puppy AT-AT’s! In this super-cute video, the Star Wars juggernaut makes a return as a household pet. Make sure you have your sound on – the music really makes it.
Doodling says a lot about who you are, apparently. If that’s true, Paul Alexander Thornton is clearly one clever chap.
Paul is an artist and pattern-designer with something of a flair for classic-looking work produced in a modern style with Biro and/or felt-tip pens. His work ranges from scrappy-looking illustrations to photo-realistic black and white drawings, sometimes with a few effective splashes of colour.
Either way, he will (in his own words) “make your eyes melt“. Check out more of Paul’s work on his website and his YouTube page.
There are some fantastic buildings in the world, but for those that are a little plainer why not let BMW do thing?
In Asia’s first 3D-projection, Singapore’s Suntec City Towers 2 and 3 were turned into screens on the evenings of the 5th and 6th of May 2010. Familiar characters, huge numbers and – of course – cars covered the side of the buildings. attracting huge crowds before going viral on the Internet. Certainly not the first use of architecture and lighting in this way but it was a first in Asia and so well done that it had to be commented on.
Furniture and furnishings don’t have to be flat-pack, cheap or grown-up. Thankfully six years ago Mike Giles and Devin Barrette formed Montreal-based Furni which means anyone with an eye for cool can forget Ikea and the home-section at Next. If you’re not sold yet, check out the clocks themselves, and the fantastic video of one being hand-made in this post.

Some people are never satisfied. Not content with visiting an amazing country and marrying his wife while there at Christmas, design-nerd James Brown set his camera up on the window-sill of his Kyoto hotel room and told it to take a photograph every thirty seconds.
It diligently did so, resulting in a fantastic time-lapse video (featuring a strangely mesmerising taxi-rank). Still not content, he added a tilt-shift effect to the video frame-by-frame and re-made it. The resulting video is fantastic, looks like a tiny toy city and is here for your viewing pleasure:

Mark Ryden’s paintings are incredibly detailed, unusual (and quite often strange) portraits with an often classical look about them, until – in this instance – you realise the slightly creepy subject is in a dress made of meat.
