Adam S. Doyle is the creator of these beautiful bird paintings. Its like he just took his brush once in small strokes and made these incredible pieces.
"Yes, what you see is what it appears to be—strokes of paint. I’ve always loved unfinished paintings because you could see the alchemic process of surface and paint transforming into a living person. With my paintings, it does take quite a bit of working and reworking to arrive at the place where every brush stroke fits into a fluidly flowing whole. It’s important to me to find a balance between an elegance of form that holds both visible marks of paint and a representation of ‘energy within’. I’ll just add that the painterly craft of my images, which I consider secondary to investigating ideas and concepts, came about after a lifetime of expressive image-making, followed by doggedly exploring the aforementioned transformation in grad school. I realized during that same formative period that I was also captivated by trying to visualize energy, which I was quite familiar with having grown up with a dad who practiced Eastern medicine."
Doyle most recently had a show at
Skylight Gallery in 2011 and is now currently working on a new body of work in Hong Kong. You can see much more of his work on his

Daily shape is (yet another) daily project by (yet another) designer Jac (jacinabox) and she has been creating random shapes every day for the past 3 months now. There are a few restrictions placed on this daily project, and they are…
- Only basic shapes and patterns.
- Must take less than 10 minutes to create.
- No frills, vectors, textures, gradients or other fancy business.
21 Swings is an interactive installation in Montréal’s Quartier des spectacles. It 's a swing that makes different musical notes as the swing moves and the music changes as additional people join in the fun.
"The result is a giant instrument made of 21 musical swings; each swing in motion triggers different notes, all the swings together compose a piece, but some sounds only emerge from cooperation."
Created by Mouna Andraos & Melissa Mongiat with support from Quartier des spectacles de Montréal. Check out Vimeo to find out more information about this project.

The Impossible Project has launched the
Impossible Instant Lab on
Kickstarter. It transforms any digital image via an iPhone into an instant photo that is exposed by using the light from the display, then it's processed and developed by chemicals. This device makes an image that can be view without the use of a phone anymore.
Pretty neat huh? Would you get one of these to turn your images from digital back to analog?
We all know that lately it has been about how big and how slim can we make TV's. So Sony has taken it a step further and has created the 84"
Sony XBR 4K TV ($24,999). This new flagship set offers a 3840 x 2160, LED-backlit LCD panel, the 4K X-Reality PRO picture engine to seamlessly upscale lower-resolution content, 3D capabilities, a 10 Unit Live Speaker system cranking out virtual 5.1 surround sound, and built-in Wi-Fi for accessing online content.
I'm sure I will not be seeing this TV in my house for a couple of years, however, that doesn't mean I can't go to a Sony store and mess around with one. Check out
Sony's website to get more information on this 4K TV.
The XX have opened up and shared their new album "
Coexist" with us a week before their physical album comes out on Sept. 11th on Young Turks.
Don't forget to also visit their
site and share the album with friends, they put some serious time in making a visual mapping of the shared album and how it is globally being shared. That is some sweet marketing right there. Enjoy!
