- Ah, squirrels… Cute, mischevious, and susceptible to the the dangers of the human race… The studio MAKE in Minnesota, has taken the life of a squirrel and snuffed it out… literally. They just recently created to PSAs that hold a environment awareness message… although there outlook is a little strange. Cigarette and Trash are done well to not only good animation, but conveys a powerfully silent message… Stop destroying your world.

- On a different note… take moment and check of the other work being done by MAKE… Glumpers look cute, with side order of zany… Also, check out some of the commercial work they have tinkered with too… Great stuff!!

- Another submission call… and we’re just getting to the hump day!! IGN has posted an open call for the 3rd annual I AM 8-BIT Show. All in all, this is a contest first off, but has quite an interesting giveaway for one lucky winner, plus a shot in their exhibit show… I say, why not?!? The exhibit deals mainly with games from the old-school 80’s era of videogaming, so let that theme guide your choices.

- But, I will stress… and so do they… they if you want a chance at this, you pretty much have until next week (April 6th). Any further questions? Well, I am sure the official rules will answer them. If not, then I just don’t know what to tell you… BUt check out a few of the pieces from the previous two exhibits, including the image above by Jen Rarey… sharp stuff!! I will be sure to keep you guys in the loop on the outcome of this one…

- It looks as if one the fellow Mojizu members has been busy… Brian Castleforte, aka NiceBunny, has been creating some great stuff on his new website. What has really caught my eye has been his sweet DIY paper bunnies. Currently, you can download Tagger Bunny, DJ Bunny, and Samurai Bunny… grab as many you need for your own paper bunny army. When you stop by though, give him props… He deserves it!!

- Are you still looking to contribute your talent somewhere, but you haven’t found your outlet? Are you itching to have your chance at earning and winning in the same process? Well, do you know where your post office is?!? I hope you do… Darren Di Lieto, founder and editor of LCSV4, has placed a call to all artists. MAiLmeART.com is becoming a large collaborative project that invites everyone to take a chance at creating your best, and mailing it out to them. Upon entering, you have a shot at monthly contests, including your work in a gallery showing in the future. Too good to be true?? Well, there is a catch… Your art is the mail. Here is the following from Darren himself…

“Submissions can be envelopes or packages which have been drawn on, painted , dipped in acid, covered in paper mache (anything you want really) but they must look amazing and they must have travelled though the post with the postman able to see the work, so you can’t paint a canvas and wrap it up and post it to me. The wrapping is your canvas or in most cases an envelope.”

- So far, the submissions coming look great, and include some great artists… Ben the Illustrator, Bob Staake, Riot68, and Threepwood… the list is growing fast. Not to forget some of the prizes involved as well from Christian Lindemann, Alex Amelines, Zeptonn, and UrbanRetro… All I can say is drop what your doing, create to your hearts content, and send it out fast!! This is a great idea, that is sure engage many future endeavors… Good luck to MAiLmeART and to you guys too!!

- Here are a view image links to see what’s already coming together…

- Man, this is a slick campaign! Altoids has created four television spots for a new cholocate-dipped mint. Well, I haven’t seen them on the tube yet, but once I wander through each one, I couldn’t stop laughing. The absolute best ones have got to be “Banana Hands” and “Blowhole Bob”. What I love about this the most is the fact that this stuff has that original feel to it… Anyway, click on the below to see for yourself. Excellent!!
- Banana Hands
- Blowhole Bob
- Half Deer Edwards
- Austrailian Double Back

Hi Everyone,
I’ve been running this blog for about a year now and I’m starting to get the feeling that it’s not hitting home with any of our readers. I don’t even know if we have any readers that come back regularly. Basically I’m writing to see if you guys are finding the info that we put up even interesting.
We don’t see any comments that are worth posting-most of them are SPLOGS! We search everday to find insparational sites, products and services, but i’m starting to feel like it’s really not appreciated.
I would really appreciate some feedback here!
1. Do you guys like what we offer here?
2. Do you find yourself wanting to come back for more?
3. What can we do differently to get you to come back?
4. What are your interests?
5. How did you find us?
At this point any feedback would be great feedback. Let us know if you think we suck! Or if you think we Rock!
Thanks for your time,
Ali Sabet

- About a year ago, I ran across a flash site, and I just simply loved it. Colors in Motion, a color-enhanced flash site, opens up a new look at the colors of life. While for me, most of the information within I have known very well as an artist, something about this place stuck with me. I happened across it in a post over at Federator Blogs, and it came back again. I think I know what’s the deal.

- While the site gives simple but stunning messages, it also has value. A site like this can help develop the young minds of our kids or students with understanding more than just the color. It helps develop ideas behind the meaning of different colors in America, as well as other countries and cultures. Children could begin to bridge gaps between colorful meanings in everyday life, while beginning artists can develop the skills to express themselves with the right use of color in drawings and designs. If you think this could just be for kids, your wrong. As I watched it… it was warm and uplifting. There was many meanings I did know, and some came as a new piece of information.

- Colors in Motion is cute, expressive, and entertaining. Give it a go, bookmark it, and visit it every once and a while. It’s seems to be forever inviting…

I love pocoyo, it’s one of the coolest kids shows ever.  It’s also very universal, because it’s so easy to change the language and show it all over the world.  I hope you enjoy the video above!

- Ya know, the first installment of Paper Mario is still a great concept in my eyes… So how do you think they could improve the next one? Well, they just added more old school kick to it. With a combination of 2D scrolling and some awesome 3D perspectives, this just may be RPG gold!! Don’t believe me? Check out the video footage and get an idea of what’s coming soon to my Wii!!

- It was only a matter of time before technology would enhance the religious into “one stop shops” for biblical knowledge. The Solar Powered Talking Bible has every piece of text forgotten from the days of being altar boys, right at your fingertips. Flip through any chapter or verse. I’ll just say this… Once I saw this product, I have been wondering when they will begin to use the catchphrase, “Powered by God”?? A bible that’s solar powered?!? You know they’ll use it… Also, I wonder if Heston has supllied the voice??
