Everyday South Africans and their bicycles. A photographic book in the making.

Photographers Stan Engelbrecht and Nic Grobler are using the pledge-for-reward Kickstarter social platform to take pre-orders (with benefits) for a photographic book they are working on about contemporary South African bicycle commuter culture.  A $50 pledge for example is essentially a pre-order for the book. If they do not reach their funding goal the project will be cancelled and no pledges will be forwarded from the project backers to them.

Only 23 days left.

Please visit – http://kck.st/c09uOF or www.bicycleportraits.co.za – to get involved or find out more about their project.

I checked out Iron Man 2 recently and was really inspired by all the next-level user interface in Tony Stark’s crazy studio. They were created by Prologue. Check out the rest of their title sequences and visual effects here.

Postmammal is the work of Robert Murdock, who is also a CCO at Method SF.

Tom Lane, also known as Ginger Monkey, is an illustrator and designer from England. His work is really colorful, well executed and documented. It’s nice to see from time to time the development of a project especially if it was done by hand.
