Hockey pic n video clips

A pic of the hockey game I went to this eve.

Working a little late at work I got a phone call from my dad. He had tickets to a hockey game that started in like an hour and asked me if I wanted to go. It has been quite a while since I went to a hockey game – tonight it was an exhibition game, like a warm-up game for before the ‘real’ games of the season start. It was Vancouver Canucks vs. Edmonton Oilers. At first I wasn’t sure because I was thinking of drawing this evening, for making up some designs to print onto tshirts. This is a project that I have all these ‘notes’ on what I want to do, but I haven’t really done it, and it is making it so that I think about it all the time because I’m not doing it!

But that said, I went to the hockey game and it was a good game. It was nice to have a evening with my father as well, haven’t seen him in a coupla few weeks… So anyway the Canucks won after scoring some really solid goals, with a couple of those breakaway goals where there is like one player who just grabs the puck and just runs with it across the ice across the whole rink as the other players are all mangled up with each other and playing. Then one crank back of the stick and the arms make it swing down and slice through the air and crack onto the side of the puck and the puck just flys through the air like the blade of a knife and right into the goal. The goalie is like, wtf? There’s nothing like being part of a crowd either – all the people together and we are all cheering and doing the wave and shouting and chanting and all towards the same goal – to have our team win.

When I got home from the game I was online and checking out this really great illustrator’s website: http://www.andyrementer.com/ You must check him out. He does a new comic every Tuesday, called Techno Tuesday. From his site I linked to another amazing design site: http://www.fabrica.it/blog/. It was like, everything that I saw on this blog I wanted to keep to watch all the time. So here are a couple of video clips that they had posted.

The first video clip is of this drawing animation of hand drawn drawings that are all morphing into each other and out of each other and continuously becoming new shapes, new characters, different figures, little animals like none you have seen in real life and they are all turning into eacho other.

The second video is of this interesting project that is: Braille Graffiti! The only thing is, I wish I knew what the braille graffiti was saying. It would be cool to see visual graffiti overlaid on the braille so we could all read it.
