Animation Director Andy Martin has been creating an alien a day at his Tumblr, Illustrated Aliens, and then uses those illustrations to help compose a monthly animated short about what their planet is like. Above, his January 2013 planet, Planet One, where the musical inhabitants get together and get a bit more than they bargained for.
You can find them all here on Vimeo or at AndyMartin.info.
For the last month, the kids have been super into Florentijn Hofman’s Rubber Duck in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour. On display until June 9, the Dutch artist’s six-story tall duck has previously floated around waters in Osaka, Sydney, Sao Paolo, and Amsterdam, and will soon be coming to a (currently secret) destination in the United States.

Watch a time-lapse video of how a 20-foot balloon acrocanthosaurus is made. The Airigami team assembled the dinosaur and its ecosystem, including some plants and some crawly insects, at the Virginia Museum of Natural History’s Hall of Ancient Life in four days.
Our little team skater, Annika Vrklan, spends the day in Raskullz Studios laying down her very first ever voice over for some new character work. All great voice actors use lots of “hands”. Can someone say ‘Nailed it!’?
A character in a moment, one created each day for 30 consecutive days, animated as an exercise of skill and imagination by UK-based animator Geoff King. He writes:
“It was difficult to even think of what to animate most days. I spent a few hours on average for each day, sometimes it felt like all day. I originally intended to do them quicker but they usually didn’t get going till the late evening. This also meant all the days where only ‘first passes’ or ‘straight aheads’. After the first 5 days I realised I should try to maintain a reasonable quality. It wasn’t easy, a lot of time was spent hitting a wall but I had fun trying something different everyday.”
Here’s a new promo for the fabulous website DIY.org. What we find so awesome about the site is the way it takes the idea of learning a new skill and turns the process into a game. We’re a big fan of fun & games here at Raskullz, and couldn’t be more stoked on the way they’ve taken the power of fun to the next level.
Happy Friday Raskullz! Five days a week of work deserve a fabulous video dug up form School House rock that will makes counting those days up a whole lot more fun.
We thought the Raskullz crew was the most stylish pack of animals on the internet. From Princess Meow’s tiara to Shark Attax’ board shorts, but it looks like we’ll have to humbly accept second place to these dapper danimals:

Check out this completely awesome video of voices turned into a unified song. More than 300 random people on the streets of Israel, each repeating one single note, creating together one harmonious melody. No Auto-tune was used in the making of this video.
