jimmymarble:

Robots Attacking the City was part of a web series called “Written by a Kid.” Every episode was written by a different kid and directed by a different director. My episode was written by a 10-year-old girl named Mailey Martinez, who might just be one of the best people I’ve ever met on Earth. Her story is super strange and wonderful and full of her personality. Her dialog is astonishing. She also stars as the lead girl/narrator. I was so so so so happy to direct this movie. I’m really proud of this collaboration.

Love this piece by Jimmy Marble! So happy it’s finally out!

Learning More About Your Favorite Instagrammers with ‘Like Knows Like’

Learn more about Marije and Bas at likeknowslike.com, and follow them on Instagram at @marijekuiper and @bas_berkhout.

Struck by a bout of wanderlust—partly spurred by the global community of creative people they follow on Instagram—Dutch duo Marije Kuiper, a documentary photographer, and Bas Berkhout, a documentary filmmaker, set out on a journey to meet and learn about the folks who inspire them on a daily basis.

The result is Like Knows Like, a website full of documentaries, profiles and interviews with talented people from across the artistic spectrum.

Among those interviewed by Bas and Marije were several artists documenting their work through Instagram. “Every day we wake up and go to bed with images that illustrate their lives and work,” says Bas. “Through Instagram, we’ve become acquainted with unique artists and people we admire, and we wanted to know more about their work and personal lives.”

Kelsey Brookes

Kelsey Brookes (@kelseybrookes), a San Diego, California-based painter, shares through Instagram the process of creating his highly detailed, psychedelic paintings.

Marije and Bas found Kelsey through the Suggested Users list and Instagram blog. “Kelsey’s story was a recognition of what we felt spiritually growing up as adults,” says Bas. “[Through our early adult life], we try to define our identity and then, naturally, we let go of that image again.”

See Kelsey’s video here.

Ike Edeani

Nigerian-born Ike Edeani (@ikedeani) moved to Ohio in 1999 to study architecture. Eventually he discovered his love of art and design and moved to San Francisco where he is a photographer and art director. His Instagram account documents the people, architecture and scenery of San Francisco.

“I found Ike early on through Ryan Schude (@ryanschude), who posts great photos of old cars parked on the street,” Marije says.

“Ike is a former architect. And he’s from Nigeria. Now he makes a living as an documentary photographer in San Francisco. A person with such a bio must have a story to tell,” says Bas. “His story and experiences taught us to have faith in the future and trust ourselves.”

See Ike’s video here.

Lisa Congdon

Lisa Congdon (@lisacongdon) is a painter and illustrator living in San Francisco, California. Her followers get an intimate glimpse into her day-to-day work crafting drawings and paintings for some of America’s biggest companies. She also posts the occassional photo of her dog, Wilfredo.

Bas and Marije found Lisa through her blog. “Lisa is a successful self-taught artist, a point that resonated since Marije and myself are self-taught too,” Bas says. As an artist, Lisa found the importance of “downtime to experience and learn about life, meet others and get inspired.”
