Media network Protein recently posted a nice video profile of Matt W. Moore. Protein introduces the Portland-based illustrator and graphic designer: "If you've been to Barcelona, Marseille or Cincinnati, and spotted a dazzling pattern of geometric colors covering a wall of the city's architecture, then chances are you've seen one of Matt W. Moore artworks."

The artist shares a bit about his background, including his eventual arrival at his signature style of illustration, "Vector Funk," which is something like hipster dazzle painted (not a bad thing):I started out as a graffiti artist, painting with spraypaint—became very comfortable working big, in bright color. And then as years went by, I went to college for design, [where I] learned vector illustration. So this, now, is kind of my channeling that knowledge and vocabulary back into handmade art: mural painting.

The artist and graphic designer also hints at some future projects, which will take a further dimension of functionality:I'm in the process of launching an entirely new venture for me, which is furniture and home goods, so functional design... just really kind of taking the ideas in my work and applying them to functional design. It's really exciting for me coming from mostly 2D stuff.

For me, it'll be a welcome challenge—as an outsider looking in, and not really following too much of architecture and furniture, it's a whole wide open thing... but as I pay attention more, I realize that the uncharted territory is smaller than I originally thought.

I'm picturing something like these... though of course we wish Moore the best of luck in his quest for uncharted territory of design.

Be sure to check out his eye-catching blog too.

    "Doodlebugs:" No budget, just pure creativity

    "Doodlebugs" is the name of a sketch show on the BBC that makes good use of what is apparently a low budget. Like the best Monty Python bits, they manage to spin something creative out of nothing: Frustratingly, those are the only three clips I've been able

    Watch The Olympics Opening Ceremony Drone Video Before It Gets Taken Down (Again)

    On Saturday I was lucky enough to watch footage of the amazing drone display aired during the Olympics opening ceremony. Coordinated by Intel, 1,218 drones performed a lightshow--pre-recorded rather than conducted live, due to logistical issues--and it was posted to Vimeo for those who missed the live broadcast. Sadly, the

    This Facebook Video Shamelessly Rips Off Charles and Ray Eames

    At press time this video had 15 million views, nearly 350,000 shares, 67,000 "likes" and generated over 8,000 comments: Nowhere are the Eameses mentioned. That video is, of course, a blatant and uncredited rip-off of Charles and Ray Eames' "Powers of Ten," the short film that most of

    This Italian Machine Cuts Perfectly Spherical Shrubs

    Orlandi Group's inventions are the best way to get round

    Unless you are a landscape architect, you may not realize that clients can order shrubs from nurseries by diameter. Let's say a client orders a dozen 65-centimeter shrubs. Since shrubs tend to grow as they like, with no two alike, it would provide a headache for the nursery to go
