While in NYC earlier this week, I heard about an exclusive club in Jersey (who doesn’t want to join a club in Jersey??) founded on the notion of destruction. Get together and destroy shit with the weapon of your choice. Sounds intriguing right? Well it’s not. It’s a members only club dedicated to super-rich people getting together to smash expensive stuff. I’m sure they think it’s some sort of liberating, existential exercise; but in this economy? It’s ridiculous.

In the meantime, check out this rad animation by Helios Labs for a different kind of exclusive club.

Richard Swarbrick doesn’t an amazing job at capturing this in this piece from a new series of animations highlighting soccer matches. The above is taken from the 5-0 spanking Barca gave Madrid earlier this year in La Liga. Be sure to check out Man United take on Barcelona in the champions league final on May 28th.

An inspiring video from Chris Harmon that illustrates just how dependent we truly are on oil. Chris does a great job telling his story visually while keeping it very informative . I really like the overall tone and colors used. Chris nailed the crude oil feel while still keeping it very clean looking.

Well, looks like I am biking to lunch today.

Korean-based Studio Shelter created a fun Lego-based stop-motion short which brings human personalities to the blocks of color. This short tells the story of a happy Lego world that is quickly overrun with chaos and slowly drained of it’s color.

Spoiler alert: Lego bricks  humping. Yeah, you heard me.
