Ron van der Ende is a sculptor living in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He specializes in wall mounted bas-relief constructed from found wood. The original color and texture of the wood is utilized to form a gripping and sometimes photo-realistic mosaic. The realism is further enhanced by the perspective built into the relief.

The dangers of realism and perfectionism related to the the technical advances in cinema." In this short interview (15mins.) Renoir considers such questions as "What if our tendency to imitate nature is simply a tendency towards ugliness?" and "Why is it that when technique is primitive everything is beautiful, and when technique is perfected almost everything is ugly?" In French with subtitles.

If you've ever wanted your first-person shooter to feel a little
less real,
NPRQuake may be just what you need. The
blueprint and
brushstroke versions are nice, but for my money you can't beat
sketchy Quake. Unfortunately, the NPR in the name stands for Non-Photorealistic Rendering, not
that other NPR, so don't expect Robert Siegel or Linda Wertheimer skins any time soon. (via
