50 Watts is one of the best vintage design & illustration blogs on the web. Space Teriyaki, a collection of books and catalogs on Japanese illustration and design from the 70’s and 80’s, embodies the brand of intriguing and rare content that Will Schofield has gathered.

I’ve always enjoyed Japanese illustration and have featured the likes of Kazumasa Nagai and Yusaku Kamekura before. The pieces from this era tend to share a boldness in both color and form.

If you’ve enjoyed these, you can find more at 50 Watts.

Ground Control to Major Frog

September 12th, 2013 | Space

ground control to major frog

This leaping frog was captured by NASA’s remote cameras set up for the launch last week on September 6, 2013 from the Wallops/Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport. The Minotaur V rocket was launching the LADEE (Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer) spacecraft.

The spaceport is located in a 3,000 acre wildlife refuge, so it’s not surprising to find frogs and other animals in the area.

 NASA writes:

“But how is it possible for wildlife to peacefully coexist with space operations and what effects do rocket launches have on wildlife? NASA’s launch facilities, roads, and facilities take up a small percentage of the area. The rest of the area remains undeveloped and provides excellent habitat for wildlife.

During launches, short term disturbance occurs in the immediate vicinity of the launch pads, but the disturbance is short-lived allowing space launches and a wildlife habitat to coexist.”

Really incredible timing… Read more at Universe Today

Big Wave Surfing – Teahupo’o, Tahiti

August 29th, 2013 | Brain, Space

Teahupo'o Big Wave Surfing

Teahupo'o Big Wave Surfing 2

The sleepy village of Teahupo’o is known for a world class break that can be one of the most dangerous places to surf on the World Championship Tour. The day featured in the video above was 2 years ago, on August 27th, 2011. Kelly Slater stated that “witnessing this was a draining feeling… being terrified for other people’s lives all day long. It’s life or death. Letting go of that rope one time can change your life and not many people will ever experience that in their life.”

It’s awe-inspiring to witness the power (and beauty) of the ocean. I don’t think I’ll ever be the one facing down that wave, but I’m glad it was captured in all its force.

Daft Punk – Back in Time

Daft Punk - Back in Time

French artist PV NOVA remixed the smash hit “Get Lucky” from Daft Punk in the musical style of every decade from the last 100 years. The result is fantastic! I think my favorites are the 1930’s and 1980’s versions, and the 1990’s and 2010’s are my least favorite…

 What’s your opinion?

The last segment (2020) is NOVA’s interpretation of where music is heading in the next decade.

God, I hope he’s wrong.

Here’s the loosely translated quote from PV NOVA:

“I enjoyed making a panorama of musical styles from the 1920’s onward.  We can go from jazz to blues, blues to swing, swing or rock, then folk, funk, new wave, dance, pop, dubstep and even freestep, the musical current not yet in existence and I offer you a preview – because I am in communication with oracles.

“

Agan Harahap juxtaposed superheroes with 20th century war photography to create the stunning images you see above. Some may think the photographs are insensitive to the men who lost their lives in battle, but I don’t see it that way. The images are somber and the addition of superheroes and villains doesn’t diminish the inherent brutality of war. The pictures are not “funny,” but rather intriguing, creative…

Anyway, I think they’re excellently manipulated.

Sky Series from Eric Cahan

These beautiful abstract photographs were created by New York-based artist, Eric Cahan. His work is reminiscent of the 1960s light and space movement led by artists such as James Turrell, Robert Irwin, and Doug Wheeler.   These masters manipulated light to magnify the natural world through immersive installations, while Cahan delivers the same ethereal quality through photography.

To bring the appropriate light to film, Eric places custom colored resin filters in front of the lens and shoots the sky, mostly during the sunrise or sunset hours.

Here is a quote from Eric discussing his photos:

“My work is meant to capture a moment in nature, asking and empowering the viewer to be fully present, involved, and uplifted. I want the viewer to be drawn in, and be completely absorbed by, rather than separate from, that fleeting moment in time.”

The diffuse colors draw the viewer into that celestial moment in nature. I especially love the images that contain just a trace of cloud coverage, which works to ground the images in reality.
