As a long fan of Ernst Haeckels work Kunstformen Der Natur – the forms of nature it was a real treat to find this Michael Hansmeyers platonic project this morning. Conceived in Processing, inspired by Ernst Haeckel, this project explores 3 dimensional subdivisions of topographic models recursively applying the subdivision process to a source form, which is restricted to one of the five platonic solids. A mouthful for you non-nerds I’m sure but the results speak for themselves.

Its been awhile since I’ve done graff but I still have a special place in my heart for it – This website / video is pretty amazing and actually accomplishes some of the things we used to talk about when we were geeking out on how letters could be bent into so many different manners.

Evan Roth took 2500 photos of Paris Graff, retraced and organized by letter and then put them all on this website creating a taxonomy of grafitti shapes

This sort of art is exactly why I love living in Portland – a shockingly refreshing mix of technological, organic, and emotional all played out in incredibly well balanced colors and form in these musings of  polymer foam artist Meredith Dittmar.
