Black and White Vid

Here's something I made in attempt to combine multiple video projects. It's cut to an audio track I made a while back.

Hecadecimal release on Future:Komp

My friend Josh (aka:Heckadecimal) just released some tracks, free to download, at www.futurekomp.net. He asked me to create his album artwork and I gleefully agreed. I love his music, the sounds, the approach, the meandering tempos. Check it out!

Goldfish

I painted these recently. There was a time when my obsession with ornamental carp was out of hand. I'm better now.

My Flickr page

I posted some images on my new Flickr page.

Mother Earth Gardens Shirt

I'm excited to show off these shirts. I made the illustration for my friends' neighborhood garden center in Minneapolis, Mother Earth Gardens.

Engaged

I recently got engaged to Daphne Eck, the most wonderful girl I've ever met!
Here are some pics of the rings (yeah, I sweetened the deal with two rings instead of one). The rockish looking one is a small piece of meteorite.

Collaboration: Table

size: 40"x20"x16"

Recently, my friend Sam Setterlund and I made this table out of scraps of wood left over from various projects. The table has two threaded steel rods running the length of the table top. Holes were drilled in the slats to undulate their positions. It was sold just recently at a art sale in Minneapolis.

Check out his portfolio here.

Illustrations: Lolly Pop

I had some time at the coffee shop to sit down and draw. I scanned it and worked with it in Photoshop.

Sweet House

Illustrations: Faces for YWFT

My second set of stock illustrations for the amazing visual crafters at You Work For Them have been posted here.

Check out YWFT's site, store and blog for inspiration.

Illustrations: recent scans

I found these in my box of random drawings and scanned them in today.

Illustrations: Faces and Poster

Here are some recent illustrations and a poster I made for my friend Paul.

collaboration

My friends' kids and I rocked out some collaborative works on paper the other evening.

Graphite Sequencer documentation

These disk drawings are part of my Graphite Sequencer project. They are drawings from participants from various venues where this project was installed. I spent some time scanning and recording the audio that comes from playing them on my custom turntable. It has two wires that brush along the inner and outer rings of the disks. The graphite conducts electricity and the various lines cause changes in the sound produced from a basic tone generator.

Here's a link to the project description.

Here's a link to the disks and audio.

My Illustrations

I'll be showcasing my illustration work here.

Science Museum Workshop

Today and tomorrow I will be helping with workshops with the Science Museums of Minnesota's Learning Technologies Center.


This is a week-long workshop where adult participants explore possibilities of overlap and interaction between science, art, and music through simple, programable controllers, basic electronics, and common materials. Here is a link to some projects they have done in past workshops.

I will be informally presenting my Graphite Sequencer project and participating in some workshops as a guest artist.


Pretty cool! I'm excited!

Drawings

I recently got a scanner from a good friend and here are some drawings from last year that I scanned.
