The Creators Project is a collaboration between Intel and Vice which sees how computers are shaping the future of creative thinking and application. A hugely ambitious project, featuring many of the world’s best ambassadors in the creative fields, it’s great to go behind the curtain, meet the people, and see how they continuously push their craft.

A short video profile of Tom Matthews, the Dublin cartoonist by Paddy Cahill. His ‘Art Toons’ work regularly appears in The Irish Times with wry contributions to both the Sunday Independent and Hot Press. He is a regular in our favourite pub Grogans where he is part of a huge cast of potential subjects for documentaries.

When we drew up the inaugural wish list of speakers for OFFSET I knew the first person I wanted to invite was Dave McKean. So it was a great thrill and honour when he said ‘YES’. We have uploaded the video of his presentation which is available for your enjoyment. So…enjoy.

Dave McKean has illustrated many award winning comics and books, including The Big Fat Duck Cookbook (Heston Blumenthal), What’s Welsh For Zen (John Cale), Varjak Paw (SF Said), The Savage (David Almond), Arkham Asylum (Grant Morrison), The Homecoming (Ray Bradbury), Wizard and Glass (Stephen King), The Graveyard Book, Wolves in the Walls, Coraline, Mr. Punch, Signal to Noise and Crazy Hair (all by Neil Gaiman). He also created the incredible covers for the entire award winning Sandman comic series.

Oliver Jeffers makes art. From figurative painting and installation to  illustration and picture-book making, his work has been exhibited and  published in New York, Dublin, London, Sydney, Washington DC, Belfast  and elsewhere. His picture books, including Lost and Found, The Incredible Book Eating  Boy, and most recently, The Great Paper Caper. Oliver was brought up in  Northern Ireland and now lives and works in Brooklyn (hence the mustache!).

Enjoy this talk from OFFSET last year and don’t miss out this year by getting your ticket now!

Anthony Burrill is an independent designer and illustrator who works in a broad range of activities, including print, film and internet. His talk was much anticipated and he was a great presence throughout the weekend… especially at the OFFSET party, who knew he could dance as well as he can design!?

You can check out his talk online here. Unfortunately there is no video of his dance floor exploits.

Jonathan Yeo has just opened his latest show, ‘Porn in the USA’, with Lazarides’ in their LA space, here’s some pics. Famed for making collages from pictures pornographic magazines, his latest subjects, amongst them George Bush, Sarah Palin and Tiger Woods, are sure to cause controversy. Below are some personal thoughts and insights into the way he goes about his business, click here though to have him take you around the recent Tate Modern show ‘Pop Life’.

Words can’t describe how amazing I think this is. The latest, and in my opinion greatest, animation so far by Blu is absolutely killer. “Big Bang Big Boom, A Short Unscientific Story about Evolution and His Consequences” is a massive undertaking and realised with a real, beautiful feel. So, grab yourself your nearest and dearest, and kick back for 10 minutes and take it all in.

One of my favourite creative/music labels Ed Banger have got together with Etnies to produce The Ed Banger Seven, 7 small films following the Banger crew on a recent trip to the USA. The first one went up yesterday and is looking good, can’t wait to see the rest.

LOVE IT! Johnny Kelly does it again!

This trailer was commissioned by YouTube to publicise an event they are organising in partnership with the Guggenheim. Any non-commercial video from the last two years is eligible to be included in the YouTube Play exhibition at the New York Guggenheim museum held in October 2010.

The brief was to allude to the eclectic and diverse content you expect to see each time you press play on YouTube. A series of worlds were created from the ground up, with production designer Graham Staughton and his team created everything in the video by hand, including a (nearly) full size cave.

We had the great pleasure to welcome Harry Pearce of Pentagram to Dublin for OFFSET 2009. The video of this fascinating presentation is now online…enjoy!
