John Fan

Former Motion Theory Art Director and now 2am Club owner/creative director John Fan has a portfolio site full of not only well-thought-out and innovative motion graphics, but beautifully executed illustration and art direction as well.

Ana Serrano

L.A. artist Ana Serrano utilizes a variety of mediums including drawing, collage, sculpture, and motion. My favorite part of her portfolio, however is her incredible paper sculpture.

Preface to Prologue

As you know by now, I have an almost unhealthy obsession with opening film credits. I've posted a number of collections on several occasions, but today I'm introducing my lovely audience to a collective that actually designs them. And not just any, but the really, really good ones. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the aptly named Prologue.

WARNING: PRODUCTIVITY SAPPING LINK

If there's one thing I love, it's movie title sequences. Sometimes (actually more often than not) they're better than the movie itself. That's why I love "The Art of the Title Sequence", a site that compiles the best of said motion graphics. I also love the fact that they give a brief visual synopsis of each so you don't have to watch every one to figure out whether you like it or not. This one's for you, Keith.

Talent can be so cruel at this age

Mitchell Paone, of Dreamers Ink Aesthetics, has crazy talent.

My talent recently asked Mitchell's talent if it could sit at its' lunch table. His talent didn't even acknowledge that my talent was standing there motionless, in front of all the cool talent, holding its' lunch tray.

Whatever, it didn't like him that much anyway.
