Amelia's Magazine | art, fashion, music, earth. Cellardoor Magazine. A Toy Robot's Cross-Country Road Trip, via Google Street View - Kasia Cieplak-Mayr von Baldegg - Video. Like a Toy Story for the Internet age, Tom Jenkins's short film Address Is Approximate tells the whimsical and inspiring story of one toy's journey to the California coast. Using stop-motion animation to bring an office space to life, the little film packs so much imagination into three minutes that I wouldn't be surprised if Pixar had Jenkins driving to California soon enough.
The U.K. -based creative director talks about the making of the short in an interview below. The Atlantic: How did you get the idea for the story? Tom Jenkins: I came at this from the Google Street View side as I love the possibilities it offers. Are all the images on screen from Google Street View? Let's just say all the imagery in the film after the office guy leaves is 100% stop motion animation, and the iMac screen is for real and was animated during the shoot too.

Photo by Lisa Congdon at Rare Device. I'm especially excited to bring you the latest q&a with artist and graphic designer Kate Bingaman Burt.

Guilt plays a big role in my work actually. Whitezine | Design Graphic & Photography Inspirations. Arrows, and the capturing of a designer’s heart « Beautiful Hello. Have you noticed that arrows are sweeping across the design world and taking it by storm? …ok, before I go on, please know that I’m not trying to make any cheesy arrow jokes. They just happen! It’s crazy! Ah! Way before the hunger games captured the hearts of America (scary thought!) , and added its own little surge of archery-love to our culture, arrows were making a huge impact in fashion, design, and styling. I love them in a slightly hesitant kind of way. 1. PS. the adorable little arrow I used in my graphic can be found (along with several others) via Amy Morby.
