Downbeat

Happy Monday,

Hope you had a good (Easter) weekend. Speaking of glowing apparitions, this dude covered himself in glow-in-the-dark paint to become a sort of musical glowstickman. Interesting effect, and some decent drumming as well.

The beat goes on
Keeping the beat, this vid is a sequence of people banging skins in order of age from one to 100. Hard to tell but maybe it keeps you young.

Supereuser
Interesting website showing examples of recycling taken to a whole new level. Here you will find items from inventive people who make the most out of used materials, for example the London artist who redefined the concept of newspaper home delivery (and built a freakin' house out of 'em).

Sheep has been troubled by a defective bedside lamp and has such an exciting life that he's decided to film it.

The Sheep Market
Some "data art" for you from artist Aaron Koblin, through Amazon's Mechanical Turk, paid 10,000 people two cents apiece to draw a sheep facing left. And I thought it made no cents...
