In order to market the flagship Presto brand across a dozen Asian countries,
Nike and Wieden+Kennedy/Tokyo sought a unique visual identity
that did not depend heavily on written or spoken language.
To achieve Nike’s objectives, the live-action design company Motion Theory in Los Angels
produced and directed live-action shoots in Tokyo, Shanghai, and Los Angeles,
filming artists David Ellis , Sasuke, and Frek in the process of creation.
The resulting art included organic forms, abstract patterns, and distinctive characters.
“Layers”, depicts the essence of the collaborative creative process between artists.

…’The InFamous’…Bo130 and Microbo in the ‘Dirty’ South…

Posted by: bo130 in Exhibitions, tags: , , ,

Last summer Microbo and I did a couple of projects in the south of Italy, first in Puglia then in Sicily.

Amazing places, great food and perfect spots to paint.

…Here a few photos of our paint session at “FAME” in Grottaglie, (Puglia, Italy).

It’s up to the people…

I Met The Walrus
I met the Walrus 
In 1969,  a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan,  armed with a reel- 
to-reel tape deck and a head full of questions,  snuck into John Lennon’s hotel 
room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview. 
This was in the midst of Lennon’s “bed-in” phase,  during which John and Yoko
were staying in hotel beds in an effort to promote peace. 
38 years later,  Jerry has produced a film about it. 
Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack,  director Josh Raskin 
has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in 
a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly 
brilliant pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by 
Alex Kurina,  resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit,  and 
timeless message. 
The young Jerry Levitan is portrayed in simple cell-animated pen lines as he 
poses his interview questions,  and in contrast,  Lennon’s replies trigger an 
assail of fast-moving animation,  highlighting the particulars of his genius 
through literal visualization. 
This film is not just an historic recording. 
This film is not just an amusing anecdote,  rampant with witty turns of phrase. 
This film is not just a kaleidoscope of masturbatory nonsense. 
This film is a vital reminder that the state of the world is not a given.  It can be changed. 
In John’s words. . . 
“Think peace and you’ll get it.  It’s up to the people… If we really wanna 
change it,  we can change it.
Produced with the assistance of a Bravo!FACT (Foundation to Assist Canadian Talent) grant, supported by CTV.
Academy Award Nominee
Best Animated Short Film 2008

Animated Short :5 min 10 sec 
Written, Directed & Animated by: JOSH RASKIN 
Produced by: JERRY LEVITAN 
Pen Illustration by: JAMES BRAITHWAITE 
Computer Illustration by: ALEX KURINA
