Wire Cutters is an animated short about about two mining robots on a desolate planet. Created by Jack Anderson, the film has been featured in numerous festivals, was a finalist in the 2015 Student BAFTA Film Awards, and won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Student Film at the Nashville Film Festival. The 9-minute flick, which took a year and a half to make, might feel like WALL-E in both its render style and character design, but it has a darker undertone, and the ending is quite unexpected.
When I was in high school, doodling on kicks was a thing. How cool to come into class, learn a few things, then walk out with a pair of scribbled-on sneakers. Even today, many basketball stars are using their shoes for much more than performance. Take a close look at their trainers and you'll find messages written all over. Now Nike is celebrating the process with the release of its Blazer Mid 77 Scribble. Aside from the hand-drawn sidewall Swoosh, the shoe also has smaller notes hidden all over, including the style name and the year it was made. The tongue is also equipped with the brand's logo, which has been hand-drawn in black. I really like the design, especially the imperfect lines. And since we're talking about scribbled-on sneakers, I can't not mention Niko Pelaez . He's a true shoe-drawing machine! [h/t: Sneaker News ]
