This is so awesome it hurts! Never before have I been so captivated by watching a process video. I want to go and create something right now! The music, the camera work, the lighting and the talent all dance nicely together this epic video. Simply amazing and truly inspirational.

Artists Supakitch and Koralie of MetroPlastique collaborate for four days, to create this stunning wall painting at the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Dwell’s Aaron Britt and Nicholas Fox Weber of Albers Foundation discuss Josef Albers. His process, his affection for color, teaching methods and life values through the lens of color.

Artist and illustrator Jeff Soto talks about his childhood, influences, learning, environmental issues and business.

Composer Angelo Badalamenti talks about how he and David Lynch came up with the music for Twin Peaks. The haunting mood envisioned and described by Lynch is transformed to beautiful music on the fly by Badalamenti. I love how lost in the moment Badalamenti gets when explaining the process. Almost as if he was doing it all over again.

A session that took only 20 minutes created a signature theme for a cult phenomenon. (And later inspired a popular dance song by Moby.) Feels like magic!

Nathan Manire is a talented illustrator from New York — who creates what is best described as pixel paintings of celebrities — recently updated his site with new work including portraits of some of his favorite artists like Snoop Dogg, David Bowie and Hunter S. Thompson. I asked him to send me some pictures of his process and he kindly replied with these great shots above.

While Nathan paints he creates swatch palettes with all the colors that he uses for a painting. He scans the palettes and uploads them to his flickr account. It’s interesting how these lovely swatch palettes become works of art and can easily be seperated from the illustrations as a byproduct of the process.

Thank you Nathan for the insight.

The story of the fading tradition of hand painted advertising. Truly inspiring.

I always love to see how artists and designers go about making their masterpieces. Evan Hecox is a designer and illustrator specializing in creating graphics for posters, skateboards and the music industry. This marvelous film by Arkitip and Incase invites you to have an inside look at Evan’s creative process at his Denver studio. I especially like how it all starts with a bycicle ride and and old camera. I recommend you take the time to view this video in full screen.
