What if you watch a film and whenever you pause it, you face a painting? This idea inspired Reza Dolatabadi to make Khoda. Over 6000 paintings were painstakingly produced during two years to create a five minutes film that would meet high personal standards. Khoda is a psychological thriller; a student project which was seen as a ‘mission impossible’ by many people but eventually proved possible! by Reza Dolatabadi

The house comprises a living and dining area, two bedrooms, a study, and a tea room located in the tower .The architect and ten of his friends–including the clients–created the charred cedar cladding themselves, spending an entire day burning 400, eight-meter planks by hand. The idea, according to Fujimori, was to create a house as far removed from the contemporary architecture scene as possible.
His inspiration was the cave art at Lascaux, in southwestern France. The work does bring to mind two trends, one ancient and one trendy: The Japanese, for hundreds of years, have used charred wood as a natural air filter–that’s why you can sometimes find pieces of thoroughly charred wood decorating Japanese restaurants.

Beg, Steal or Borrow is an online auction that the students at the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham, are holding.
They have been getting in contact with notable designers and illustrators, to Beg for work, in order to auction it off. The money that they make will go towards funding their end of year Graphic Design degree show. Fortunately for them, they already appear to have already secured the work of Kate Moross, Rob Ryan, Pentagram, SEA and many more.
The entire auction is set to begin 21st March, lasting for 10 days only, however, they are still being sent work, so are updating the site with new items each week. Worth checking out.
