Sita Sings the Blues

I came across this wonderful animation which weaves three stories with very different graphic styles into one film. Based around the Indian epic the Ramayana, it was designed, animated, written and edited by Nina Paley on her computer at home. As you can imagine for one person, a lot of hard work went into this film and for Nina, it was literally a labour of love (one of the strands of the film is autobiographical).

Sita Sings the Blues is freely available to watch, distribute, copy, share etc. under a Share Alike License.

Check out the film for yourself and enjoy it in the spirit that it was made.

Hyperrealism Vector Art

My vector example

Vector smile by Dan Codner

Hyperrealism is an art movement, which requires the same level of technical ability as photorealistic illustration. While Hyperrealism delivers a similar level of skill to images, this style allows the artist to creatively interpret an image. In Hyperrealism artists utilize ethereal lighting effects, depth of field techniques, and camera style perspective to depict the images. They create images that are imaginatively realistic.

here are examples of some of the finest vectors out there…
