The AIGA Judges Books By Their Covers

Illiterate? I know I am. This post's text is generated through a new voice-activated text-creation program called Jerkifier™. It works by having the user say what they want typed into their computer's microphone and then the program does the rest.

Since the creation of Jerkifier™ I've lost $700,000, but have gained infinite wisdom in the art of seduction. See? The program works, you clod!

Hyper-Realistic Sculptures Invade My Mind

Sam Jinks is a sculptor. What does he sculpt? Well, usually, it's either a surrealist's moment of clarity or the vivid, intense corners of your nightmares. Jinks has a background in film and television effects, sculpting commercially for 11 years, but for the last 5 years he's been working on his art full time. His silicon-based sculptures make for potent visuals, creating powerful thoughts about humanity in general. Well, for me, at least. Austrailian Edge has an interview with Sam Jinks, discussing his artistic background and his current work. The link is NSFW due...
