speaking of book art

April 23, 2008

I made an alphabet book last month, which i didn’t really mention much of.  I will be sure to post the various pages of my book over the next couple weeks since I finally got my little camera (Coolpix 2500) happy with linux. My book is titled “Menagerie,” and our professor has posted all the […]

I have begun work on my final book project for my book art class, and i’m titling it “Monsters of Industry.”  It’s a lot of fun thus far.  I’m going to show the book at both open studios and at a gallery showing for my class.  I had to submit an image today for the […]

charlie and his adventures

April 17, 2008

A long time ago i was totally mesmerized by Charlie the kinda angry unicorn and his magical journey. Today I am happy to notice that he’s back with a new banana filled adventure. If i’m not mistaken, that’s a singing santa-hatted banana slug. You heard me… santa-hatted banana slug.
It’s stupid, and funny, and […]

April 14, 2008

This weekend was a lot of projects on top of scul betamission. I got really wet riding in the rain on Saturday, but I still had a lot of fun.
I mounted a wire on the back of bunny boogie and dropped it off at the somerville museum for the artist’s choice show for somerville […]

hope

April 10, 2008

you may remember i wrote about why Happy Feet makes me sad, how i get frustrated by the movie because it implies that all we need to do to save the world is make people see what’s wrong. I don’t believe that, because people look at what’s wrong right in the face and don’t […]

occupational frustration

April 9, 2008

Ever listen to This American Life?  I highly recommend it, or at least pick through for show themes that pique your interest.  Today I feel somewhat assuaged over any kind of occupational frustrations I might have.  Why?  Because I’m not an astronaut.  Episode #329 “Nice Work if You Can Get It” opens with a conversation […]

philosphical about cute penguins

April 4, 2008

I’ve been listening to a new Pandora station that I’ve titled “Can you Feel It (Shame).”  The songs that input the station are all based on funky disco stuff that generally makes me happy and productive, and while i sit at my desk i get to bop back and forth while doing work.
Occasionally the tune […]

can YOU feel it?

April 3, 2008

Nothing says amazing like a groovy song that creates the world. What’s awesome about the full theatrical music video of The Jackson’s Can You Feel It is that there are numerous sci-fi movie sounds, including some from Star Wars. Serious. Michael Jackson shoots stars out of his head into the sky.
The video is […]

comics inspired life

April 3, 2008

sometimes comics inspire great things, or at least really funny things. I’m starting to think that xkcd may be the best inspirational or motivational comic of our times. why do i say this? take for example the ever classic and adorable grownups comic.
This comic inspired a friend to calculate and construct and […]

prince

April 1, 2008

For some reason I never really considered how old Prince is… he’s an amazing musician who i absolutely adore, but I never really thought about it.  I am often amazed by artists with amazing longevity and independent creativity (which I was thinking about over the weekend while listening to Queen).  I hadn’t realized that Prince’s […]
