I was researching high fashion hairstyles for work and stumbled upon this beauty.
The first word that comes to mind when when clicking through Daniel Gies’ portfolio is, “Whoa.” This super-talented illustrator and animator grew up in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies and lives in Montreal where he works on a variety of award-winning cultural films for the National Film Board among others. In his spare time (!) he puts his digital puppeteering skills to work on a personal film project.
Don’t miss his delightfully imaginative illustrations and Webby award-winning animations.

Ideas for stuff to do over the summer? Maybe you should visit Monkey world in Wareham, Dorset, UK!
However, if you aren’t a fan of monkeys, perhaps you are a giant kid inside like myself! In that case, you would thoroughly appreciate the most awesome giant playground EVER! That’s definitely worth hanging around in with a few friends!
I went there for a University trip a few years ago, which I have slightly forgotten the purpose of now, as I studied Computer Animation, which isn’t quite animal related whatsoever! Anyway, the monkeys were great! Well, at least I thought they were, It was November and some of them looked pretty cold and had blankets on their heads (as above) and I didn’t know whether to gush or feel sorry for them.
I really appreciate animal-involved activities like going to the Zoo, visiting Bird Parks and what not, so if you like that too definitely go have a gander!

If a midget ever tells you, I’m not happy, ask them, then which one are you?

It can take people a lifetime to tell a story, Crewdson does it in an image.
Summer Playlist #2
He’s meant to be wishfully thinking of teleporting into a far off neverever but kind of thought he looked like he needed a good fart. Perhaps a bit of both?
What I’ve noticed now is that people do inspire the best playlists! Here’s a little list I put together for a friend when she was going through a downer of a month. It happens to the best of us, music helps.
