Exploding food 29 January 2004, 15:004
Food taking bullets in slow motion; beautifully destructive. Seven cans looks great, and it's interesting to compare 9mm damage compared to the full 44. (NOTE: Quicktime)

Russian Serge Maksimov illustrates (real ink, not digital!) in his own distinctive style. And huzzah, an illustrator's site not done in Flash!

Quest for the Crown 28 January 2004, 11:49
With the exception of SSCrabble, probably the best game on the Internet. (NOTE: Flash)

The deconstructed mechanics-meets-join-the-dots illustrations on this site are complex yet cute. (NOTE: Flash)

Words before looks 27 January 2004, 12:42
Gerry McGovern writes an interesting article on why web content is fundamentally different to traditional advertising.

Celestial artistry 19 January 2004, 17:50
A nicely understated site, but the content is the gem here. Detailed and beautiful celestial artworks from Greg Martin.

Robot in disguise 19 January 2004, 17:35
A Mazda that transforms into an Autobot. Do Toyotas transform into Decepticons? (NOTE: Flash)

FWA 2003 winners 16 January 2004, 13:21
Lots and lots of Flash at Favourite Website Awards. What's surprising is the choice for official winner of the year, a vote for functionality/usability over vacuous style. (WARNING: Flash)

Uncontrol 13 January 2004, 17:38
More cool Flash action scripting. I'm beginning to think of them as art installations. (WARNING: Flash)

Pirelli 2004 13 January 2004, 15:14
Some weird photographic imagery from the 2004 Pirelli calendar.

Poetry commentary 13 January 2004, 12:23
"Actual Comments Overheard In A Poetry Workshop By A Fiction Student In An MFA Program That He, In Order To Fulfill All Degree Requirements, Is Forced to Take". Delicious.

Always a sucker for Flash action scripting, I particularly like the Bandai shading example here (try and find it without a link, because it's Flash). (WARNING: Flash)

Just Photoshop 08 January 2004, 13:36
Based on a photo, but done entirely in Photoshop.

Acid art 07 January 2004, 15:20
In a 1950's US Government experiment, an artist makes nine sketches whilst under the progressive influence of LSD. Funny tripped-out side comments.
