• [photo addiction] 11/29/04 
  Description: a kind of personal diary with daily photos (mainly from Paris, France)
  Comments: Damien calls it his "mark in the Internet cyberspace" and though the photoblog was launched this past March, there's a number of other projects with photos dating back to 1996. He lives in Paris, which is the locale for most of what's in the photoblog, but my photo gallery documents Damien's travels to places like Kenya, Malasia, Nepal, Brazil, and the Czech Republic – it also includes a series of photos of hot-air balloons taken in Lorraine, France (I like 'em too). The overall site design is excellent in my opinion – easy to navigate between sections. I also like the choice of thumbnail viewing options in the photoblog. Oh – and I really like this and this – couleur merveilleuse...
   
• armed rob | flix from the past 11/28/04 
  Description: a graffiti web project (Flash)
  Comments: Armed Rob announced at Newstoday that several new sets (of old flix) were just added – photos of some great graffiti in Copenhagen and other cities, many from 1990. Rob's project now has 180 flix from the past and some of the walls may astound you – if you like graffiti art, that is...;~))
   
• Joystick 11/24/04 
  Description: a collective of Colombian artists living in Barcelona
  Comments: Today's pick aims "to build channels and comunication spaces." The site documents various events organized by its collective of artists, as well showcasing "the work of young artists presenting online monographic exhibitions of works made with non-web specific media." There's some cool stencils and stickers to view (and download) plus several interesting projects dealing with trash – "encouraging other people to make good use of what we consider useless." I enjoyed it – art with a tinge of activism...;~))
   
• frosk.org 11/23/04 
  Description: personal photos, reflections, and visual projects
  Comments: "We are interconnected though dreams, cables, cordless networks and our trail of thought, and for a spilt second we are closer then ever before." Again in yesterday's entry to the Chronicle, several self-portraits of Putle appear. One of the most interesting side projects in Projection is her self-exploration through years with its monthly autoportraits going back to the beginning of 2003 – a mysterious chameleon evolving over time. There's other photography including some great macro work, plus sensitive thoughts and reflections in the Chronicle. You'll encounter evidence that Putle is also a talented illustrator. Explore all 4 sections of this personal creative space – despite that empty Info page, you just might start feeling a little closer to the vibrant spirit within... 
   
• 73urbanjourneys.com 11/20/04 
  Description: to explore, experience and capture textual, visual and sensual narratives of the mobile London urban experience
  Comments: Katrina, a researcher at the University of Surrey's INCITE program, started the project in 2003. With a MA in Visual Culture, her interests lie in mobility, technology and place and she describes her online project an "ethnographic and observational study of the No.73 bus exploring its route, passengers, history and iconic place in the urban landscape." She's one of many who use public transport to travel into London daily – in addition to blogging her "everyday bus experiences" there's another part of the site where she hopes to collect "73 stories each around 73 words about the 73 bus." The stories are submitted by others who ride that same route and she'll reach her goal soon – only "8 seats left." The main site is full of other information about things related to the 73 Routemaster – all an interesting look at people and public spaces...
   
• Coro36Ink.com 11/19/04 
  Description: "variety is the spice of life"
  Comments: An artist who "began his career defacing public property with spray paint" and went on to study traditional illustration is the interesting character behind the big collection of works. From digital art and illustration to oil painting ("which occupies all of his free time, in an obsessive-compulsive kind of way"), Coro's artworks are colorful and intense – I've been back there three times since I found the site yesterday. His showcase features a "broad range of subject matter and varied execution" – and I think it's all good...;~)) 
   
• Left Justified 11/17/04 
  Description: the personal site of Andrew Krespanis
  Comments: "As a web designer, designing your own site can quickly develop into a black hole of second guessing and creeping elegance; it can always be faster, brighter, stronger, light... But you have to stop sometime, or surely you'll go mad." 22-year-old Andrew redesigned 3 times before launching his first "home on the web" back in August. I like the red wood trim style – nice CSS-tabless design. Besides writing on design and other web nerdery, Andrew also maintains a personal link reserve, full of excellent resources and anything but mindless, thank you...;~))  [RES72]
   
• will morgan 11/9/04 
  Description: people and landscapes
  Comments: The quiet design with its dark background works well for Will's artsy photographs. The focus is primarily on people – musicians and some friends, perhaps, and there's some outstanding landscapes as well. Elisa, oxford circus, and dawn stick in my mind this morning – a sweet collection of images... 
   
• Ordo Magazine 11/8/04 
  Description: "DIY projects, recipes, travelogues, random links, exquisite essays, 200-word stories, found objects, animated work (beautiful or wretched), profiles, strange letters, QA's, and multimedia confessionals"
  Comments: Though the site's been "on hiatus for a while" for beautiful little reasons, I'm sure more features, creatures, and original art and more interesting elsewheres will come. In the meantime, the archive has plenty of content, from making apple butter to organic farming to "The etymology of erectile dysfunction drug names." Current features include a Shockwave piece and Zach covering an event he recently attended where Bill Murray was the guest of honor. Add 6 family blogs plus some sweet songs on the radio – a nice online mag with a little bit of everything...;~)) 
   
• XPMNTS 11/7/04 
  Description: a collection of experimental works (Flash)
  Comments: "I've basically just uploaded the files and stuck an indulgent interface on the front..." says the site's creator – "some of it bad and some of it ok." What was once just a folder full of experimental work on What's hard drive is now an online collection of Flash works, static art, and photographs. All pretty effin' cool, in my opinion anyway...  [Newstoday®]
   
• Color in Motion 11/5/04 
  Description: an interactive experience of color communication and color symbolism (Flash)
  Comments: Color in Motion was Claudia's MFA Thesis project. It's really quite creative and fun to use – a great way to learn about color. Each of 6 colors stars in its own movie plus there's a lab with 3 interactive projects for the user – "Just have fun and enjoy color!" One of a kind...;~))
   
• No Traces 11/4/04 
  Description: digital and film images
  Comments: "I've been in love with images for as long as I can remember. I'm partial to film..." Bob's got about 20 different cameras and he's posted over 200 photos since April. "I can't begin to explain the feeling you get when you see your own images appear on a contact sheet in the darkroom. It's pure ecstacy for me -- I only wish I would have done this 30 years ago. Now, my wish is to have 30 more years so that maybe someday I'll actually be halfway decent at all of this. God, I love images." It shows...;~))  [FILE]
   
• NinjaCruise.com 11/3/04 
  Description: drawings by Matthew Curry (Flash)
  Comments: Matt calls his 5HIVERS.Drawings an "exercise in developing a visual language using color, composition and iconography."  There's currently 40 Heartwerks "pieced together from sketches, paintings, animations and other bits and pieces from the last year or so" – outstanding images! Nice use of Flash too...
