Nice to see that ACRONYM goes back in time to its classic and clean styles and features that made it so outstanding.
Buck 65 & D-Sisive want to make “100 Stories” about you
Music

Buck 65 and D-Sisive joined together to form The Ricardo Christoff Apparatus, and will release an album called “The 100 Story Building”. The concept of the album? To write songs about your life. Or your friends. Or enemies. How does it work? The duo will be taking submissions from the fans in the form of stories – actual things that happened to them or someone they know – and then will pick the best entries and turn them into songs.
Each song will be named after the person who the story is about. According to the group, the story should be “funny, strange, tragic, inspiring, epic”. So send your greatest story ever told to 100storybuilding@gmail.com and leave the rest to them. Via

Ian Worrell used straight pencil and paper for the man and cat line animation and composited them in After Effects onto backgrounds constructed in Photoshop out of various pieces (pen/ink, pencil, paint, photos, etc.). I like the analog/digital mix of media. Via

La Chureca in Nicaragua is one of the Western worlds biggest open garbage dumps. Even the briefest visit is a considerable challenge. Nevertheless it is home to far over a thousand people. Most deaths on the dump are due to a lung disease, that is known there as ‘lead’. For children growing up around La Chureca, it’s the standard course of events.
Marten Persiel and Xabier Garay’s Chureca project is a documentary film as well as an active participation in one of Spains most ambitious foreign aid projects to date: the complete clean-up of La Chureca, the construction of recycling facilities and an entire village, including a school, a hospital and community service projects. One of these projects is a skate park, which aims at getting Chureca kids in touch with other young people, whose world doesn’t consist of nothing but trash.
