It's hard to believe this 1994 short was directed by Wes Anderson

You can always tell it's a Wes Anderson movie when you are watching one of his creations. I just love how the films so often blend quirky plots with technical precision, adopting a similar style so that each film already seems familiar. However, it is interesting to take note of how much his filmmaking has evolved since his 1994 short, Bottle Rocket.

The 13-minute film, which would two years later become the feature of the same name, doesn't have Anderson's trademark style that audiences have become accustomed to over the past twenty years. It's shot in black and white, has a jazzy score, and looks and feels more like a Woody Allen flick than a Wes Anderson production.

Organ donor signature campaign by Y&R New York

In general, people don't like seeing ads, but sometimes, when companies and ad firms go out of their way to come up with creative, inspirational and clever ways to heighten awareness for their campaigns, ads can be pretty amazing. Take, for example, these posters Y&R developed for Long Live New York . They're simple, yet brilliant, and they appeal to their target audience's emotions. They're now in NYC subways to educate commuters about the noble act of organ donation. [h/t: The Inspiration Room ]

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:
