I love the style of Os Gemeos’s work especially the colours and detailing he has used. The piece above works so well with setting the characters on a wall where you could actually imagine them standing. Superb find by Kitsunenoir.

Medicom have tons of great movie collaborations for their Kubrick series and this is the1st one in a very long that oozes with extreme excellence. The Darth Maul figure on its own is very cool but the whole with the Sith Speeder really makes a must have set for any Star Wars and Kubrick fan. This should be out for May 2008 so keep a look out.

ANSI art not to be confused with pixel art is a trend from the 80s which could be making a come back thanks to events such as the upcoming ANSI art exhibition in San Francisco early next year. I have to say there is not much difference to pixel art if you do not look carefully but it does seems to be a more complicated process to create. I can not wait to see ANSI art in the future.

MTV has partnered with MySpace Random Report to search for a brand new presenter to host MTV News.

One lucky punter will be plucked from obscurity to follow in the footsteps of ex-presenters Cat Deeley, Edith Bowman, Russell Brand, Alex Zane, Trevor Nelson and Kelly Brook – all of whom started their careers at the MTV studios in Camden. The successful candidate will get to present daily bulletins across MTV ONE, MTV Hits, TMF, MTV Base and VH1, and will have the chance to travel the world and brush shoulders with A list stars like Justin Timberlake, 50 Cent and Cameron Diaz.

How to audition:

Shoot a short video of yourself presenting to camera and upload your screen test to the Random Report page on MySpace by December 21st. MTV is going to sift through all of the videos and invite the best candidates to London to audition for the fulltime position. You don’t need any experience. MTV is just asking that you’re fun and won’t be fazed by interviewing some of the world’s biggest stars from the film, music and entertainment world.

This has got to be one of the most enjoyable live performances ever especially for all you vintage game lovers. Watch it and you will be amazed at how many different games they fit in and at how close to the original music they orchestrated.

Never heard of Rodney Mullen? Well your in the same boat as me but I need to see more of Rodney because those skateboard tricks are amazing.
