Ian Worrel
Another great find, thanks to the crew at Drawn! (original post here)
In fact, I was so enamoured with the concept and design of the above video that I had to run a search on Ian Worrel to see if he had any other videos. Thankfully there was one other! Also an enjoyable watch. I like the concept and I especially like the giant character who is eating all the fruits..

a bit of magic
Out Of A Forest from Tobias Gundorff Boesen on Vimeo.
I always have a soft spot for a good stop-motion animation. I've just discovered this one but it's an immediate favourite. The characters are well designed and visually very lovable, and the music and the story put me in a reflective mood.

artful and amazing
I don't know about you, but when I read others' blogs I generally can't be bothered to click on links that take me to other websites unless I already know who/what the link is about and am therefore interested, or I've seen a picture or screenshot that makes me interested in the content. So it's a bit ironic that I'm about to just post a link and recommend that you check it out.

Drawn.ca is another of the blogs that I've very recently started following (Google Reader has changed my life and increased my subscriptions/random site-visiting dramatically), and the link above contains a string of YouTube videos (5, to be precise) about an American artist named Todd Schorr.
I've never heard of him until now, but I have to say that watching these short 2-min videos and seeing his artworks was eye-opening. I'm fairly picky when it comes to types of artworks I do or don't like, and although I don't think Schorr's artworks are 'pretty', they are definitely mind-bogglingly skilled and detailed and educational (to a degree).
Based on the videos I watched, he mixes American pop history references and his own personal childhood favourites/experiences to come up with ideas for his artworks.
This is a piece from his website (www.toddschorr.com):
