A Pair of Eyes

A collection of the sights I see, and the things I think.

Culture continues. Thankfully. Scope a new musical instrument from Istanbul, Turkey, called the yaybahar.  Crafted and created by Görkem Şen.

Worth noting that there's no electricity involved in that thing making those sounds.

Have some timelapse. In the tradition of Baraka and Koyaanisqatsi comes a piece about creation, destruction, and their parallels.

Circle of Abstract Ritual - Jeff Frost

[paireyes]

The art of delivering a payoff.

So long, Robin.  It was good having you.

Have something a little brighter today.  

Here's someone being a badass.

Watch some masters at work. Have some craft mastery with your morning.

There's a lot of pain and sadness and anger out there.  There always is, but it seems a lot more visible right now than it does otherwise.

Have some beauty and music with your morning today, instead.

Tom Waits - Hell Broke Luce This song, and this video only get more fascinating as time goes on.

[paireyes]

Don Hertzfeldt - The Meaning of Life

Perspective.

[paireyes]

A little nostalgia, and a little animation skill. The opening to Johnny Quest - in stop-motion.

Fire Tiger vs. Acid Panther - Anya McNoughton

A beautiful and beautifully animated little short.  Also a bit of a shout-out to video game culture. Check it out.

[paireyes]

The sublimity of motion.

[paireyes]

This is old news.  But still incredible.

A wonderfully written an animated short, about questing...and treasure.

These guys also have a Kickstarter - its been funded already, but you can follow it here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1862188728/the-reward-tales-of-alethrion

Embrace a little of your beauty.
