When one of Brisbane's most creative commercial design studios decides to reclaim its wallspace in a take on the graffiti that often inhabits it, you know the bar will be raised. Illegal inspiring the legal, professional feeding off of the amateur, and space evolving in time. In the end, its all good stencil art and the streets are better for it.
While it may be evident that the prevalence of stencil art has exploded in the last few years, with events such as the Semi-Permanent street art exhibition in Sydney during 2003 showcasing notable UK artists Banksy and Sheppard, nimble stencil soldiers have been waging a wall war since the advent of graffiti in the 1980's.

In 2004 Dave started the new Flow Dynamics outfit and the debut album is taking shape as a mashed-up mix of funk, hiphop, breaks, house, drum & bass, broken beats and heavy percussion - new Australian tunes taking in influences from London, New York, Sao Paulo, Tokyo, Berlin, Perth, and everywhere in between...
Could
it be that a single set of brackets in this example
improved the task instruction by 50% or more? What we
can learn from this article is that client-team communication
in programming, design, multimedia and web development
isn't something we should take lightly. Sometimes, even
the simplest things such as 0 and 1 can be taken in
different ways by different types of professions and
different type of personalities.
The
idea for this one came from the modern scattered vector
style graphics. I wanted to do something using this
style but using 3d and incorporating it into after effects.
I started out just wanting to design something using

Believe
it or not, Commodore 64 is still being used for commercial
purposes. Analogik has discovered this truly rare occurrence
at MYER Centre main bus station terminal - Brisbane,
Australia. Someone must have reset the computer and
at our shocking surprise a familiar blue screen appeared
on the display. In commodore 64 days blue screen used
to be a good sign, not a sign of dead Windows 98/2K.
How reliable C64 is proves the fact that it is still
being used to inform traveling people of 21st century.
This
is a case of extreme miniaturization and exploration
of perceptual containment of sound in seemingly limiting

of electronic music.
This
has to be one of the finest and most diverse Synthesizer
sample libraries available on the Internet. All sound
files are in mp3 format so you might have to convert
them to wav to be able to use them with most of your

A
vector illustration inspired by scientific problems
such as string theory and human effort to comprehend
the essence of the fourth and, dare to say, fifth dimension.
Branes are multidimensional entities which are believed
to have collided in a very distant past .A result that
turbulent collision was a spark of something simpler
than the brane itself. To us, that something is the
matter. Another rival theory to the big-bang.
This illustration is only 11Kb in file size. Note that
there is a fair amount of vector data in this image
and it might take a few seconds to render, especially
on older computers. Authors: Dejan

is a simple, yet complex track written in a moment of
loneliness. It transpires nostalgic longing and has
been written progressively, starting from a rather plain
concept and experimentation. In matter of hours since

into an emotional chakra opening a wide channel of mixed
feelings. Since it has been written in one shot, this
piece is not too polished. It simply communicates a
strong Light Motif rather than being a perfect arrangement.
