Art Friday : InertGreyMatter.com - Of Star Wars Concepts, Russian Propaganda Posters and More!

InertGreyMatter is one of the recent finds from the Singaporean blog aggregator ping.sg. Showcasing a selection of graphic design works, photos, architecture, music (mainly downtempo, minimal, deep house) and of course my favourite illustrations and concept art.

Didn’t really notice InertGreyMatter at first due to the enormous amount of blogs in ping.sg these days. The first post that caught my interest was the link to a collection of Ralph McQuarrie’s concept art for Star Wars.

After browsing through the entire archives, I have compiled a list of my favourite posts over at InertGreyMatter.

Hopefully, the above recommendations have piqued your interest in InertGreyMatter :D

Since I often approach art from a gamer’s perspective, it’s nice to discover lots of beautiful stuff that I could never find on my own. I’m not too keen on posts in other categories like architecture although I must admit graphic design and occasionally photography do have their attractions like Hellohikimori’s website which showcases some of their cool works and comes with a nice splash screen (below - too bad it’s only shown for a few seconds) as well as a rocking tune ‘Cross The Line’ by UK breakmeister Elite Force.

    Hey Roys thanks for the plug! Glad to find someone with similar interests, although unlike you I’m more into architecture than the rest. Then again, I do enjoy all forms of modern design. Thanks again for reading!

    Hey Weisheng, no problem. Over here, I write about anything on the .NET that I personally read, download and enjoy. Hopefully, some of my readers who aren’t in ping.sg will find your blog as interesting as I did :)

    It’s a pity that Ping.sg doesn’t have more people who actively blog about their interests and influences rather than their experiences :(

    My sentiments exactly! I’ve never enjoyed blogging about my personal life because there isn’t really much going on in the first place. I much prefer highlighting stuff I enjoy. But a blog is a mode of self expression after all, we all have different things we like writing about.

    Ping.sg can get rather messy but I guess it’s doing what it was meant to do as a blog aggregator! It’s been a good source of clickthroughs for me so far. And I do come across some nice finds occasionally.

    Yep, everyone has a right to write all they want on their blog.

    Ping.sg is great but few actually come in here from ping.sg. I absolutely love reading through every entry and discovering a gem or two everyday though :)
