I added a couple quick photoshops that I created for my friend Matt a while back to the art section (one of them was already there, but I decided to throw the supplement in alongside it). These were for a film audition that never became an actual film, but we had some fun shooting in Richard Lee’s house anyway. It was intended to be about questioning sanity, and I played an insane person.

I really got into the role and the lines between fun and reality became crossed and confused, most of the action was improvised on the spot with very little rehearsal and until “cut” was shouted I found myself wondering if everyone had really gone off the deep end. I also had a scene in which I was thrown out of a moving car. It was shot 3 times and I got my leg caught in a cable. Matt, if you read this, I’d love the raw footage some time, if any of it is still sitting around somewhere. Actually, it might be too horrifying to watch.

I designed these images to be as sexy as possible for the purpose of drawing people to the bodies, then placing the rats on the head, a bit like the Windowlicker artwork, it becomes disturbing if looked at for more than a quick glance.

I’m going to this tonight.

I’m a little bit intimidated, to be honest.

There’s a pool party, classes on how to run a stripping oriented website, and various other events.

It’s at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge, MA and it lasts through sunday (I’ll be leaving during the day that day).

Anyone gonna be in Boston this weekend? Drop me a line. Come on by? Or perhaps I’ll be able to peel my eyes away and get out of the hotel for a bit to visit.

Sarah’s going to have an Aequinox booth at the show and is selling several items.

Oh yeah and, on Saturday I’m going to run off to the AT&T store and buy myself an iPhone. Huzzah.

How’s this for service: the show performed, recorded, and available online within the same hour. Now I need some bands to perform on the show live so I can share them with the world instantly. Anyone? Smallish Acoustic acts preferable – the studio is very very small. I’m serious, drop me a comment, it’s free.

Mp3 @ 96kbps

Here’s Wolfie’s latest, and I think greatest episode of his radio show, Strange Ways in 4D, yet. He played a ton of new music, much of which was new to me as well, and his radio presence was dynamic and funny. I got turned on to a few bands I’d never heard from this episode, and for me that’s a rarity. Listen to it.

96kbps MP3 – About 1 Hour long

And check out my show tomorrow night at 8 on WVVY – the stream is working again now, so I’ll be interacting live on twitter, facebook, and other avenues.

It’s still a work in progress, and I need to tweak some visual elements, add more images, categories, and various other details, but thanks to the glory of WordPress and the wonderful NextGen gallery plugin created by Alex Rabe I’ve easily integrated a gallery into the art section. Go check it out.

This was always my favorite ever strip of Calvin and Hobbes, it still makes me burst out laughing. Found it playing with stumbleupon.

Also found on noquedanblogs – there is a lot of neat looking stuff over there.

Saw this on Boing Boing Gadgets the other day. Traced back to this blog, that I wish was in English

Sarah found this old copyright image when she was looking for public domain pictures online the other day and she sent it to me. I thought it was quite amusing.

(Note: my page says copyright on the bottom but when I get some time I’m going to classify it under creative commons – just need to find precisely the right category – suggestions in that department are welcome, feel free to leave a comment).

Design for the Aequinox advertisement at Manhattan Vintage on April 24th and 25th.

I took some hefty influence from the Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre designs, of which I recently purchased a print. The elements and juxtaposition on this particular piece are of my own doing, however, with some specific tweaks and guidance from Sarah.

If you’re in Manhattan on April 24th, stop by the show and buy some clothes. I’ll be there as well, looking out of place and very likely rather disheveled in contrast with the other attendees.

Edit: Made some modifications, and created a second image. The second was done tonight, this is for the mailing cards.
