A blog from Jason Drakeford - artist, design director, filmmaker and motion-designer. I am constantly pushing myself to create new original work and break the boundaries of storytelling, regardless of the medium.Tumblr (3.0; @jasondrakeford)http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3e0ac79940093fd299247b4bf00f42ed/tumblr_mlv3m2oATy1qzp43ao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“Tree #1” From the series Tree from <a href="http://www.yossimilo.com/artists/myou_ho_lee/" target="_blank"><span>Myou Ho Lee</span></a></p>http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/48924762024http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/48924762024Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:20:26 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5484deeb3916a1c567cc560596d4a03e/tumblr_mlqd2f0xez1qzp43ao3_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“<a href="http://www.aplaceofwork.com/index.php/saracwynar/project/42" target="_blank">Color Studies</a>”, a photography series from Sara Cwynar. </p>http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/48726617941http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/48726617941Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:56:00 -0400<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/54967505" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>WOW.</p>http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/47928413676http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/47928413676Sun, 14 Apr 2013 00:55:18 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0661a0c08358c2689e342a2c6ae8937b/tumblr_ml0c88UgST1qzp43ao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.alessandropuccinelli.com/?portfolio=intersections" target="_blank">Where Sea and Sky Collide</a></p>http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/47566068691http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/47566068691Tue, 09 Apr 2013 17:40:00 -0400<a href="http://tetw.tumblr.com/150_Great_Articles_and_Essays">150 articles of the very best journalism, essays, and narrative nonfiction</a>http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/47295962319http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/47295962319Sat, 06 Apr 2013 15:03:42 -0400<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/58880979" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Print design aesthetic translated to motion …very well done.</p>http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/47164894527http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/47164894527Thu, 04 Apr 2013 23:25:36 -0400<iframe class="tumblr_audio_player tumblr_audio_player_46965683592" src="http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/46965683592/audio_player_iframe/jasondrakeford/tumblr_mkndogGMuq1qzp43a?audio_file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tumblr.com%2Faudio_file%2Fjasondrakeford%2F46965683592%2Ftumblr_mkndogGMuq1qzp43a" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" width="500" height="169"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Hooked on this new album…</p>http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/46965683592http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/46965683592Tue, 02 Apr 2013 17:43:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ab06f1bfa1cc59200a01253d5e514b55/tumblr_mkdrkvUEi41qzp43ao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I really love this concept of “tidying up” everyday objects, via <a href="http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2013/03/28/the-art-of-cleanup-ursus-wehrli" target="_blank">BrainPickings</a></p>http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/46515848139http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/46515848139Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:07:43 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1ba6348f9251ef314927a9cfa13c572f/tumblr_mkdjme1DjD1qzp43ao3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c7980d1c9c4ce71ec2b006edbcbd37a6/tumblr_mkdjme1DjD1qzp43ao1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1258a7fe0f65a4a7a31c1f5050cf8a92/tumblr_mkdjme1DjD1qzp43ao7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/50e5d9554f0ee1c8a9eece9ddd8bbdee/tumblr_mkdjme1DjD1qzp43ao2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/cd124902f32938b389225ca3f18522a1/tumblr_mkdjme1DjD1qzp43ao8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/65afe98c906c4ebd23bbb89bf11ec42d/tumblr_mkdjme1DjD1qzp43ao5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>These amazing atmospheric photos from <a href="http://www.photographyserved.com/gallery/Microcosmos-2/6075405" target="_blank">Monica Raduta</a> feel like a title sequence design just waiting to be created.</p>http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/46505971119http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/46505971119Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:15:00 -0400<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/61996880" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Ray Gascoigne has been around boats his whole life, as a shipwright, a merchant sailor, and now as a ship builder on the smallest dry dock there is: a bottle.</p>http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/46445728197http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/46445728197Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:53:58 -0400<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/48237094" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Simple but powerful concept -

Over the past 6 months when I wasn&#8217;t posting I was traveling with artist Tony Oursler creating projection-mapped video art shows in São Paulo, Kiev, Hong Kong, and Seoul. I just left working with him to create my own art, explore more freelance opportunities, kick-off my film, and art direct an upcoming film in Haiti. So expect some good posts soon&#8230;</p>http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/44379532366http://jasondrakeford.tumblr.com/post/44379532366Sat, 02 Mar 2013 12:05:53 -0500
