The world’s first fantasy magazine, Der Orchideengarten, was published in Germany from 1919 to 1921. The 51 issues featured artistic though sometimes disturbing cover art. Will at A Journey Round My Skull has obtained the first 14 issues and has scanned and posted the covers. Link

Magazine Released as Tattoo

The Swedish tattoo magazine Tare Lugnt “published” its third issue as a tattoo! I can’t find who the person tattooed is, but I suspect it might be Marc Strömberg. That’s what you call a “limited edition”! Link to story (with video). Link to magazine site. -via Buzzfeed

20 Beautiful Video Motion Pieces

Posted by Ali S. in Arts & Crafts, Cartoon & Comic, Funny, Media, Movies & SciFi, Music, Video Clips on March 8, 2009 at 10:57 pm

One of my favourite blogs “Smashing Magazine” has a fascinating post filled with awesome video clips all about amazing art presented through video. When an artist wants to show off their portfolio some of them go about creating a show reel to show their art, experience and skill.

This can be in various aspects such as editing, directing, animation and so forth. One that really caught my eye from their 20 clips posted has to be this one which blew my mind with the dazzling use of live projection mapping. The creator himself explains, “This is an experimental film made up of over 35,000 photographs. It combines an innovative mix of stop motion and live projection mapping techniques.”

Popular Science Magazine (1872 - Now) in Google Books

Posted by Alex in Book & Lit on December 11, 2008 at 8:37 pm

This is fantastic: Google Book Search has full copies of Popular Science magazine, dating back to 1872, available for you to read online.

The very first issue, May to October 1872, covers such topics as The Study of Sociology (by Herbert Spencer, no less – he coined the term "survival of the fittest"), The Recent Eclipse of the Sun, Science and Immortality, and so on.

Link – Thanks Philipp Lenssen!
