Oscar-nominated "Paperman" is amazing animated short in a minimalist black-and-white style. Short's technique merges computer-generated and hand-drawn animation. Created by a small, innovative team working at Walt Disney Animation Studios.
* update: "Paperman" won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 2012

 

Below, first-time director John Kahrs explains reasons of choosing mid-century New York City as the background of the story of a lonely young man meeting a girl.

Sky Ferreira - "Everything is Embarrassing"

Yep, but you should definitely invest in hairdresser, Sky.

Sky Ferreira american singer (and a  fashion magazines model ), born in 1992, raised in LA. Starting in Gospel music, now she searches for her musical identity, using elements of dance-pop, indie rock, country and soft ballads.

"The fact that there’s not too much going on here except a pair of guitars, a voice and a simple yet relatable set of lyrics is enough to keep my attention (and yours too), just to see what may linger beyond such a different choice for an EP start." (from wepluggoodmusic.com)

And few black and white EP covers:

Paperboy - Rebekka Karijord

The clip 'Paperboy' - keeping  with the title- was made using just paper, tape and scissors. Retro! ;)

Ingrid Michaelson - Ghost

AZEALIA BANKS - LUXURY

 Azealia again. Growing old. First trial here [.]

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms

Dramatic pencil and charcoal animation of war explosions and sea hugeness in good old classic ( but I don't like the photocopied effects of the rest of the clip).
