This is a much better Pink Floyd sync than the Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz was (which never made sense to me). The beginning feels like it could almost be a video for the song, while the transitions in tempo line up magnificently with the visual changes of Kubrick’s movie. Thanks to Brandon for bringing this one to my attention!
After 11 years of faithful friendship (7 which were spent in a dusty corner of the apartment), I’m finally saying goodbye to my first generation PowerMac G4. It had long been unsuitable for the fast evolving world of tech, but I always kept it lying around thinking I would one day do something with it. Well, I never did. So I’ve gutted it. And even all naked and such it still looks a bit formidable.
I’m not gonna cry…
As part of his talk at FOWD London 2009, the Future Of Web Design seminar, Mike Kus screened this short film to help illustrate the process he went through when designing the individual slides for his presentation. I always find it so inspiring to see other artists’/designers’ techniques in motion.

That was the sudden sharp turn in my thinking when I sat down to script out a game plan for my next series of drawings. It also happened to be closing in on Nat’s b’day, which was the main decision to pick up the ol’ paintbrushes, look ‘em over, toss ‘em in the trash and go buy new ones. The celtic Tree of Life is a design that I’d been wanting to play with for a few years now, but never did actually come up with any solid ideas. This design, however, came from a t-shirt of mine that’s fast becoming worn out.
This painting ended up taking just over 4 weeks to complete; twice what I’d anticipated. That’s the trouble with using oil paints… they can and most likely will take forever to dry when you’re counting down the days. And while the last 2 weeks felt more like a chore and actual work, I’m really happy to have it finished and looking quite nice. Now, I’m all jazzed up and thinking about the next project. I have several unfinished pieces in the works, but I’ve been thinking about finishing my kitchen table next. It just looks so naked!
Anyway, I just wanted to share this new work with everyone. Stay tuned for more updates on my table! There will be more pics!
more as it comes…
