Interesting Couple | Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin

You might be at least familiar with the commercial work of this Dutch duo, the one for fashion houses – like the ad campaign for Miu Miu where each photo is stamped with INEZ & VINOODH {city where it was done, date of when}; alternatively, it seems luxury magazines like them shooting covers and related editorials. Nice job if you can … carry it off. These two have a specific style in or feel about their work, commercial or not – just browse some. I find it crisp. Crisp enough that the fact retrospectives of their work are being held already kind of odd. But it has been 25 years plus. Like I said, nice job.

Fashion | Alchemist that is Iris van Herpen

These are some of the artworks of a Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen. And I thought I had plenty to speechlessly stare at and fantasize to, and generally melt into subconscious goo, with Alexander McQueen and Gareth Pugh flawlessly underscored by Ruth Hogben. I am a rabbit in the headlights, and the headlights look good.

Coded Candy | Big Buck Bunny

Alright, alright, I know, not that new. So?! … … … That’s why it’s slotted under “Coded Candy” – to serve as a reminder what can be done using free software. Blender in this case. “Big Buck Bunny” was released in 2008 and is a visual brain child of Dutch dudes “Sago” and Ton, with music by German Jan

Here it is just 3 seconds shy of 10 minutes. OK, glass half full glass half full glass half full… J
