Drawing 017 – Hand Practice
Doing a bit of hand practice. I was looking through a book called “Drawing From Life” and decided to draw some of the hands that were in that book. The artist who drew all the figures in this book, George Bridgeman, is insanely good.

Drawing 005 – View From My Hillside
Happy Saturday! Since it was a day off I decided to do a little outdoor drawing. I took my sketchbook to the top of the hill in my backyard and drew a little portion of the landscape.

mm-cc 09.04.11
Like always this mm-cc is a long time coming. This will be the last mm-cc for a bit because it’s the last month of summer. It’s not over forever by any means. I told Jenny we’d do it monthly for the summer and then we could take a break. Not that she dislikes them. She […]

Slitscan Factory Revised
I have received a few emails over the past few months from people asking questions about my Slitscan Factory After Effects project. Recently, I got an email from a fellow who linked me to this video and asked if this kind of effect could be done with my project file. I told him it […]

mm-cc 08.07.11
This mm-cc is long overdue. Things have been absolutely crazy at work. The past four weeks I have been working around the clock preparing pieces for this upcoming D23 convention. D23 is like an epic convention for Disney nerds, where they can get a glimpses of all the upcoming film releases, park renovations and just […]

My M.A.S.K. Video
This is a video I cut together for fun back in 1998. I’ve decided to share it with you. I was in college and under the influence. I popped in an old VHS tape of this TV show M.A.S.K from the 1980’s. In the background was the song “Intergalactic” by the Beastie Boys. I […]

My Crazy Lazy Susan
This one has been a long time coming. It was just about a month ago that I filmed my friends Marcus and Amber for the music video I’ve been trying to work on here and there on weekends and whatever time I can find available. I have been busy, which is something I like to […]

mm-cc 07.03.11
Well, it’s time for another Morning Music & Coffee Consumption post, or mm-cc. Jared, the creator of the concept, had forgotten that I was hosting the first weekends of each month and ended up sending out the invite to his friends. So, this time their were simultaneous mm-cc’s happening on either side of the […]

Intimate Slitscans
I just got back from a tightly-packed week-long family vacation in Wisconsin. Go Packers! Actually, it’s Jenny who’s originally from there. But, it was a pretty full vacation, lot’s of driving around visiting various relatives, eating copious amounts of cherry and butterscotch dilly bars along the way. We got back to California at midnight on […]

mm-cc 06.05.11
I’ve been so busy at work this last week that I had very little time to devote to preparing this months mm-cc video. After the last one, I vowed to have all my video elements collected ahead of time so that when it came time to cut I’d be able to move quick. This […]

Datamoshing – My New Favorite Effect
A little while back I was perusing vimeo and I came across this really cool video by Jason Drew. I noticed a particular effect in it that I have always wanted to recreate but never knew how. Now that television transmissions have gone completely digital you have probably seen this effect before. Your watching […]

Working, Working, Working
Things have been pretty crazy lately. I’ve been extremely busy at work over the past three weeks and it’s been a month and a half now since Jenny came down with Pneumonia. It started as a bad cough which was sticking. It got a bit better and then suddenly got much worse. I had […]

Totems
I have been very busy lately at work. In the meantime, watch this video. It’s made by Don Whitaker. I’ve mentioned him before. His video’s have been very inspiring to me. He has a numbered series of video exercises he calls brainblink. This one is special. It’s a stream near his house […]

CloudSlice
I have been having meetings lately regarding the music video I’m doing for Cue The Moon. I initially was going to do a slit-scan based video that would appear to be a single shot panning around a room. The camera would pass by various objects which would be under the effect of slit-scan. I ultimately […]

Morning Music & Coffee Consumption
A couple weeks ago I received an email from my buddy Jared from Uprlip.com. He is in the midst of doing his own creative thing-a-day blog. He’s currently on Day 109. He’s somebody I have talked about before. He’s an inspiring musician. Many of his posts are musical in nature and absolutely beautiful. I thoroughly […]

Glittering Lights Of Hollywood
I wanted to test out this new and exciting slit-scan Processing script that designer Amnon Owed created. I went searching for whatever video I already had on my computer. Since the creativity project ended I have backed-up and deleted quite a few days and material is a little sparse on the hard drive at the […]

Everybody Slit-Scan!
If you followed my creative thing-a-day project over the past year than you already know I’m pretty interested and inspired by Slit-scan photography, or the slit-scan technique. Without getting into too much detail, in terms of video, Slit-scan is the effect where a single line of resolution, the slit, is the only representation of a […]

The Wobbulator – Beginnings
I saw this video a day or two ago and straightaway started researching for more information on it. It’s a device called the Wobbulator and it was developed by an artist named Nam June Paik. The Wobbulator you see in the video is the very same one that Nam June Paik built himself. […]
