Artistic Duo Immortilizes YouTube Videos Through Drawings
Artists Comenius Roethlisberger and Admir Jahic decided that YouTube just wasn’t getting enough press on its own, so they took it upon themselves to create artistic sketches of popular YouTube videos. The duo took classic frames from the videos and immortalized them by drawing them on paper which will disintegrate way before the fiberoptic cables of the internet. The internet wins again. No offense to the artists, but some of these drawings could have used the Scrabblebot. But whatever, its... Continue reading
Guy Spends 12-Hours Drawing and Redrawing the Time
Spotted over at Design Miami, this exhibit features an LCD screen with a man drawing, then erasing, then redrawing a clock for every minute, or every hour for a loop period of 12-hours. I think I might have to pay somebody’s grandfather to come do this at my home 12 hours a day. How cool would it be to have a literal grandfather clock? Get it? A grandfather clock? Link
ScrabbleBot Aids the Talentless
If there is one talent I’ve always dreamed of having (aside from being able to roar like a Wookie), it’s the ability to be a good drawer. Just being able to draw something in which someway resembles what I was trying to draw would be cool. But no. God blessed me with the uncanny ability to find awesome shit online, but in the drawing department, I’m one of the worst artists you’ll ever meet. Seriously, I’m that bad. The ScrabbleBot...

A Pencil That Celebrates Mistakes
If you want to learn to do something properly, you’re going to have to fuck up every once in a while. Mistakes are what teach us the right way to do something. Without them, we’d be under the impression that everything is perfect, even if it was far from. Writing and drawing are both skills that take an exceptional amount of error and practice before they can be mastered. Unless you are lucky enough to have some sort of freaky... Continue reading
DIY Chalkboard Refrigerator
Parents with younger children, listen up. This is a chalkboard fridge. By that, I mean that with a little time and money, you can turn the entire facade of your refrigerator into a damn chalkboard. This will keep your kids entertained for hours on end and will most likely keep them from drawing all over the walls. Essentially, you just sand down the front and paint it with that nifty chalkboard paint they sell at The Home Depot. But don’t... Continue reading
Drawdio: Drawing Music
Once in awhile, I come across an invention that blows my mind in terms of creativity and functionality. Jay Silver’s Drawdio most certainly fits into that category. Drawdio is a pencil that has a simple synthesizer hooked up to the graphite. Based on the conductivity of graphite, drawing on paper will produce various different sounds creating a one-of-a-kind music experience. This is user-interaction on a whole other level. Believe it or not, you can build your own Drawdio. The famous... Continue reading
DJ Draws His Own Records With Motion Capture Turntables
DJ’s love using all kinds of strange setups for their scratching pleasure, but this instant turntable technology has to be the craziest DJ workstation that I’ve ever seen. Designed by DJ MoCap to work with the Traktor digital DJ system, this homemade controller lets you use drawings as replacements for records. Don’t expect to be able to make one of these yourself. For now, MoCap says he’s “keeping part of the system secret because it a little different from traditional... Continue reading
The Picture of Everything gets even more of everything
The on-going project by Howard Hallis, entitled The Picture of Everything, which is an attempt to draw, well, everything, in one large picture, has just gotten another addition added on to its massiveness. This time, Hallis opted to add a section for cartoon characters. This new add-on features, like, totally every major cartoon character ever created. Or at least thats what we assume. If you feel like picking through the drawing to prove him wrong, please, be our guest and... Continue reading
Photo realistic PSP made in Paint: Watch and learn, cuz this guy has got skillz
[ev type="youtube" data="eFV9-RuVYRU"][/ev] YouTube user RANDISALBION, displays his affection for PSP and his expert skills at drawing photo realistic images using nothing more than MS Paint. The four-minute video is a warp speed preview of how he made this impressively real paint drawing. With a soundtrack provided by A Perfect Circle’s “Orestes”. No doubt that this sped up 4 minute video is hours and hours of time lapsed work. It might not look real enough to pick up out of... Continue reading
