//This week’s inspiration piece goes to STAR WARS Identities and all the people involved. I know I haven’t been keeping my blog updated but that’s because school has me in a tight noose of sleep depravity, and assignments up the kazoo - but it’s all in conquest of higher learning. Anyways I’m posting this motion piece because, common who isn’t a Star Wars freak? And this video is clearly awesome because of the ink stained liquid galaxy, altered sound bites, fantastic imagery and best of all in my favorite color purple. Hands down inspirational motion piece of the week!
Piet Mondrian
Pieter Cornelis “Piet” Mondriaan born 1972 into a aristocratic family in Amersfoort, Netherlands was a Dutch painter that began to study art in 1892 as a student at the Academy for Fine Art in Amsterdam. Mondrain’s art was directly related to his spiritual and philosophical studies and In 1908 he joined the theosophical movement by Helena Petrovna Blavasky in late 19th century and joined the Dutch branch of the theosophical Society in 1909.
Mondrian’s later work began to show the influences of Cubism in 1911 after an Moderne Kunstkring exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam that included works by Picasso and Braque.

// This weeks inspirational motion piece goes to Thibault de Fournas & Christopher Wilson on their project on the Typeface Futura. I thoroughly enjoyed this superb piece because when you watch this short, you taken away into the era, with the music, references to the legacy brands, video scratches, dust, etc. I specifically loved how they showed the different weights of the Typeface, split them up into geometrical shapes, spliced & diced them and served it to you on a silver platter. Great Job you two!
