starting work animating little cars for block animated seems really fun, hopefully it leads to more work.
floyd, from one eleven productions is awesome! he is gifting me this sweet computer. thanks!
being single sucks. I'm having a hard time with my current situation but it is to be expected. I want what I had, but i need to continue to move forward. I feel dread, desperation, lonliness and doubt. dirty streets, dog poop and caffiene sessions. I need to get out more, I miss so many things, LA is scary and overwhelming at times. I suppose this is the reality that i've needed to face for a long time.
my dream scooter. . . honda sh300i, UK only.
hmm... where should i go today to sit in from of my computer? no escaping this reality really but is it really so bad? I can work and travel, the new mobile me... looking forward.
watch this engaging frontline show online called growing up online ... "writing an email for a lot of kids we talked to is equivalent to hand-writing a letter. ... They describe e-mail as a slow archaic way to keep in touch."
officially have holey socks but i'm finally beginning to get it. currently looking for full time employment.
my design, video and web work will be posted regularly here on the site. let me know what you think!
makes me cry, no matter what your position is on the war, we still have a responsibility towards the soldiers that have suffered there. a soldier remembers - ny times video on injured soldier home from the iraq.
contacted M83 to let me do video graphics at the echo on May 20th. I should be able to start work on video for UK group futurecop soon, which should be fun.
it is starting to warm up around here, windows open at night is a southern california luxury. I sure am going to miss this place.
new video posted i did for calarts "second life" show that was in the mod. site design for itsnotabomb will be posted soon.
I sure appreciate the fact that i've been in a car chase when i was young. I remember speeding off from brock mathis, the high school jock taking off with his "girl". received a nice kiss that evening in my vw rabbit. too funny the things you remember.
brought live video art setup to anne's house for maxime and rinus' going away party. i setup a drawing table that projected into the space and amanda vigil, mike afsa and jose hernandez fooled around creating live video collages.
I want to travel, graduation, end of year show, projection.
shooting starts, stretching, appreciating, stars, lonely, optimistic, change, excites me, memory, 30, tattoo, rose colored glasses, steal, borrow, beg, jealousy are all new to me.

I have another videographics show for dreamtiger coming up at a club called violaine in chinatown on may 15th.
my first videographics show was a success. i was pretty nervous, but things worked out well. here are some pictures dave house took and i adjusted. the graphics were for dreamtiger, a shoegaze band. They played with (among other bands) a band called shields, they were pretty great.
Its been a rough
month, michelle and i are not together right
now and i'm now faced with the possibility that
i'll move on without her when i graduate. I
am working through quite a few things right
now including trying to find my dad, reconnecting
with friends that i've lost contact with, facing
my own worst tendencies not to mention staying
on top of my final year of art/design school
here at calarts. The strange thing about all
this is how it has really kicked in my productivity
and my perspective on all the things around
me. however things work out, i'm going to be
a better person because of it.
post break-up above
last night a trackball saved my life. feeling much better lately, reading bruce mau 'massive change' finally. really interesting ideas so far, huel howser, old documentaries and
home staging pay designers to make your house look nice so that you can pay for it in this crappy market. i could do that. seems like it would be fun, just not sure if i could handle the day in and day out of that, also i would feel a bit out of place... who knows.
bought a vhs/dvd recorder from school money for my videographics work. i've been frequenting amoeba and atom records for old vhs tapes of obscure stuff and make digital versions of some of the footage. its pretty great.
michelle and her parents and I pitched in on a projector as a christmas gift, so now i am wired for video on my own terms!!! just into the diy aspect, and its possibilities in terms of art making.
soon, we will not have to move. preparing for later life i suppose.
going to make a book on hobo signs and symbols.
ed fella and geoff mcfetridge - feb. 21st at redcat.
cloverfield made me motion sick, same with michelle.
hard-drive head gone bad with all my video and work on it. $2200 to fix, what a joke. moving on. in meantime looking for alternatives to get this repaired.
it's raining lets play almost done. it an audio/visual recording of real time videographics that I recorded as i listened to his mix. this project is also a collaborative effort to explore things that interest me.
planning videographics work with shoegaze band dreamtiger if james rocks the crowd. currently working with daniel, barney, cameron, kris, sean, jose and nate on videographics related projects.
freelance work & winter break.
started to think about contacting my real dad. sent an email to my mom, and now i have a little but more knowledge of my real father. the next step is to pursue this further. not sure if its going to happen before i graduate though. sure would be nice in a surreal utopian crazy sort of way.
