I’m still wrapping my head around how cool those videos were that Jakub posted yesterday. In a similar (but stylistically divergent) vein, these clips by Russian artist Maxim Zhestkov are stunning. He’s got a few videos on his Vimeo page, the rest you have the see on his site. If you click the thumbnails above, they will link to their corrosponding video. They all remind me of the Minus the Bear “Planet of Ice” album cover, if everything went completely crazy.

Thanx Alex, OMG, this is exactly what I was hoping for to see in a long time. Cosmic themes with fantastic bw look.

Some of the art above looks a lot like those 10-nanosecond-after-a-nuke pictures that were all over the internet a while back: http://simplethinking.com/home/rapatronic_photographs.htm and http://simplethinking.com/home/rapatronic_2.shtml
