• Thursday, Oct 2, 2008: 12:15pm Character designs by Olivier Bucheron

  

  Bucheron’s striking robots, vehicles, and machines reflect the vivid creativity and near-obsessive attention to detail of a dedicated artisan. From the choice of paint, to the texture of the metal, to the way light is reflected, each of his characters is a highly evolved study in the boundaries of human imagination.

• Thursday, Jul 31, 2008: 11:09pm Concentric to redesign Foreign Affairs

  Concentric Studio is proud to announce a new project engagement with Foreign Affairs, a publication from the Council on Foreign Relations.

  Founded in 1921, the Council on Foreign Relations is a non-profit and nonpartisan membership organization dedicated to improving the understanding of U.S. foreign policy and international affairs through the free exchange of ideas. Its 3,400 members include nearly all past and present Presidents, Secretaries of State, Defense and Treasury, other senior U.S. government officials, renowned scholars, and major leaders of business, media, human rights, and other non-governmental groups. Each year the Council sponsors several hundred meetings including televised debates and other media events, and publishes Foreign Affairs, the preeminent journal in the field, as well as dozens of other reports and books by noted experts.

  Since 1922, the Council has published Foreign Affairs, America’s most influential publication on international affairs and foreign policy. It is more than a magazine — it is the international forum of choice for the most important new ideas, analysis, and debate on the most significant issues in the world. Inevitably, articles published in Foreign Affairs shape the political dialogue for months and years to come.

• Monday, Jul 14, 2008: 10:29pm The world of Steampunk

  

  Sometimes there are things that are obviously popular or have a huge following and I’m just oblivious to it. Steampunk is one of those things. Actually, to be honest, I knew of the stylings of steampunk… I’ve seen it in various movies (The City of Lost Children, 12 Monkeys, Hellboy, Van Helsing, The Time Machine, etc...) but I guess I didn’t know there was such a huge following. After I did a little more online research, I found out it’s quite huge… pretty much anything and everything has a steampunk interpretation. Dolls, jewelry, action figures, cars, boats… the list goes on.
