Roadside - Vector illustration by Michael Darque

Here’s a great illustration by Michael Darque. This is a really skilled execution of a rig hauling sheets of lumber. You can see by the way he has captured the light reflecting off of the chrome, that this guy knows what he’s doing. He has also capped it off by stroking the rig in blue which makes it feel rendered and not photographic. We like that.

This attempt has a roughness that works. Nice job.

FREE DOWNLOAD - Ultra-realistic papercraft motorcycle

Japan -

Yamaha is undoubtably an innovative brand. Their products are well designed and internationally respected in many fields. Now, thanks to this incredible free download, they have the respect of vector artists everywhere. Behold, the MT-01.

This amazing work of art was created for motorcycle enthusiasts with patience. We can’t even imagine how long it would take to assemble one of these, but we’re dying to find out.

The MT series is here to shake up the streets with a whole new style of sports riding. We call it Torque Sports and it’s all about uniting big-piston engines with sports chassis for a dramatic new riding experience. Our Torque Sport roadsters perform to a different kind of beat, like Japan’s legendary Kodo drumbeat, an earth-trembling expression of awesome latent power produced by massive bass drums.

The MT-01 and MT-03 are supreme products of our Art of Engineering philosophy - using cutting-edge technology to create motorcycles that harmonise perfectly with their riders. These machines feel like they’re alive, with pulsating low-rpm performance and taut, responsive handling that will get to you on every ride. The MT series - ride to a new rhythm.

This is a very inventive way for a brand to connect with it’s consumers. It really forces them to appreciate the elegance and complexity of their product’s design.

So, do you think that you have what it takes? Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and fold one of these “bad boys” up? We dare you - Take that back - WE DOUBLE DARE YOU.

A true pop culture icon, the film has had an immeasurable effect on popular culture ranging from the films of Martin Scorsese to The Sopranos. It is also one of the most quoted films in history which makes it a perfect choice for LA Pop Art. “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse,” still stands as one of the most memorable lines if not THE most memorable line ever spoken in a film.

PAPER CRAFT STEAK- Oragami for meat lovers

Seeing as rising food and fuel prices may make steak an unattainable luxury for all but the wealthiest people in the future, it’s good to know that at least there will be paper craft steaks to fill that sucking void that will be left on our plates—much the way poverty-stricken peasants in inland China used to have wooden fish on the table during banquets. There’s a raw version and a cooked version available for download, along with a side of carrots, a plate, and even paper silverware.

ANIMATED VIDEO - Prada’s Trembled Blossoms

“The ‘Prada Trembled Blossoms video‘ was put together by artist James Luna and based on James Jean’s Nouveau-esque wallpaper seen in the ad campaign. The short film is whimsical and enthralling, capturing the viewer from the first second to watch the transition of a cyber-woman’s journey through a magical Prada filled forest. At the end, she meets Pan who shows her how a tropical fish can transform into the stunningPrada Trembled Blossoms Bag. The bag is currently available at Saks and you will snap back to reality when you see the price tag. $1,675 through Saks.”

MAD MEN - Opening credits (video)

What you are, what you want, what you love doesn’t matter. It’s all about how you sell it. From AMC and the Emmy® Award-winning executive producer and writer of “The Sopranos” Matthew Weiner, comes Mad Men, a provocative new prime time drama about how to sell the truth. Set in 1960 New York, the daring new series is about the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising, an ego-driven world where key players make an art of the sell while their private world gets sold.

This is the open credits. We were so impressed by it that we are now curious about the show. Does anyone in the Anchorpoint community follow it? Is it worth looking for? Some of the clips we have seen paint a real shady portrait of the advertising world of yesteryear. then again, today’s game has many similarities.
