  • My progress into this project is thus: I brainstormed two weeks ago, after having a “discovery” meeting with Matt, the ambassador for the band for whom I am doing the music video for. He emphasized that he wanted a video that he could appreciate and to do that it needed to have a story. “There…

  • A Mr.Yoks Project. I made this animation without using a story board. I had the inspiration of Photoshop shortcuts and I let them take me as long as I felt I could go. It was really interesting.

In this case, they recommended (among other things) that if you are into Etsy crafts and can’t think of anything else, make some owls. So, I went…

I’m beginning to appreciate the nature of home-videos and how they differ from the more anonymous feeling of a photo album. People especially seem more themselves. Music: La Madeline Au Truffe (composed by Jeris) by basematic. I got…

  • I made this acrylic painting yesterday after I became frustrated with coding a website. I love art because sometimes there is no “why.” In graphic design, people will ask, “why is it blue” or “why is it three inches tall?” In art, there sometimes is no other reason than “I just was compelled to do…
