Today on Boing Boing tv -- more subversive animated genius from
David O'Reilly, a 22-year-old experimental filmmaker from Ireland whose style lies somewhere between
Kubrick and
Kaufman and
Ketamine. We've
featured his work before here, and were instantly smitten with his vectorpunk vibe -- so we asked him to cook up something exclusive for BBtv. This is the result. INNOVATE OR GTFO.
Part two of today's episode: more animated awesomeness from O'Reilly, with music composed by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood. It's for MeeBox, a net-video-themed BBc3 TV pilot featuring Adam Buxton.

Monochrom, BBtv takes you to the Falco... stairs? And guest,
Sean Bonner, weighs in on the Falco... lamppost. Then, we proudly premiere the Falco Memorial Haz Mat Dancers. Er, actually it's a retro-style short vid by
Walterrobot entitled "Fuji Apples."
Update: music in the Walter Robot short from Boards of Canada (song: Roygbiv, from "Music has the Right to Children."

Boing Boing editor David Pescovitz visits the dark, surreal, creepy,
and, er, frightfully cute world of Los Angeles artist
Liz McGrath. Mutant beasts run amok in her
decadent circus sideshow of sculpture where flesh and blood is
replaced with resin, paint, and faux fur. No dead animals were used
in the creation of this artwork.
