I think this is the last of the "ring series" that I have been working on. I created and mixed the sound myself and all elements of the video were generated from scratch with no real-life source video or audio. I think I'm pleased with the overall outcome, but I think I would like to revisit this at some time to mix in more visual elements to keep it interesting after the last half.

Too many projects, not enough time
Projects in the works:
- Secret stop-motion animation project, maybe even two?
- Continuing 'ring series' until it seems coherent
- Random-word drawings (will be posted here in the next few days)
- Reworked large-scale abstract painting

New video
New video test. This is a conceptual continuation of the previous energy video experiment, but much longer and not as "energetic". I'm not sure I like the direction this one took, but it's not bad. I think I might use this combine the two techniques to make a longer version of the previous experiment.

Update and newest video
It's been a very long time. Here's what's happening:
I'm leaving Facebook. It's over. It's not me, it's them. It was a great way to share videos and pictures, but over time I realized that if I can't convince my friends and family to go to my website for my updates, then they aren't that interested. Also, my updates are always pushed to the "bottom of the pile" with application updates, personal updates, FarmVille requests, blah blah blah. If someone with 300+ friends (easily achieved by even moderately connected people on FB) gets a single update from each friend, where would my update sit? All in all, it's not the best place to keep people informed, plus I have no creative control over how my posts appear.
I'll be starting to tag my posts with newer tags to categorize the content. Videos, art, and concepts will be posting into separate categories, as well as into broader categories such as the ubiquitous #art tag. This will allow for much finer detail in checking my latest posts.
All previous work posted on Facebook will be posted here. My drawings will be posted here in a much higher quality, and will be easier to navigate. Hopefully this will be a better forum for comments than Facebook. I will make all relevant posts back-dated to keep this post on top and current until I begin making new updates.
This is an art blog. This is not my personal blog. Perhaps, in the future, I will create a blog that will feature my personal thoughts. I'm still on the fence about that one.
Okay, without further ado, here is my latest (silent, experimental) video:

Been a while
It's been a long long time since I have updated. I'm still making art, still doing videos. I haven't posted because I kinda forgot all about this blog! Well, I'm going to post some of my more recent work to show that I still got it!

New Video!
It took a lot of hard work and patience, but Carter and I finally pulled through with another A+ video! Look for cameo appearances by your favorite hollywood actors.

Almost complete!
This is the enclosure for the final project in my New Media class. I still have to add a few holes for the microphone and tighten the lines in a few places. I might still paint some glyphs in a few spots, but I don't want to detract from the simplicity it has right now.
This is the first time I've really messed with acrylics. I really like the texture and how easy it is to mix. The buttery quality makes it very smooth to apply. I've used acrylics to paint on boards, but never on a gesso'd surface. It's pretty nice.
Overall I like how this project has come about, but I'm at a loss for what to do with it once it's all done. I can't really put it anywhere in my house, so that makes me a little disappointed. I don't want it to just sit in the corner of the basement or in the garage, but I fear that's all that's going to happen to it. My friend Kevin might want to use it an installation he's working on, so we'll see about that.
Had we used a circuit board called the "basic stamp", I'd be able to continue showing the completed work, but as it is I have to have a dedicated computer running the software to present it. Oh well, it's definitely a learning experience.
