I’ve been working on some illustrations which seem to have grown to a series I’m calling Facet. Check them out on my folio page.
As well as showcasing some great talent, it looks like OFFF (International Festival for the Post-Digital Creative Culture) also created some.

Ex lobo, now a duo of Vellas & Laga doing animation work.

Big Bang Big Boom. Wow, so much paint, so much time, and so much talent. Another epic (9:30 minutes) stop motion piece from BLU.

A great mixture and execution to show a day in the life of an urban AT-AT. Plus below is a short and sweet behind the scenes video that helps you understand the process that went into making a short that appears to natural and whimsical.

A lot of my favorite artists are painters that never really give up using the pencil (line). Painterly paintings are good but so are paintings that look like drawings. I guess I like painterly drawings or linear paintings. I like painterly paintings and linear drawings too

“Known in the Low Brow movement for his intriguing, playful hybrid of street art, expressionism, and cubism all manifested in non-traditional media such as spray paint; Lister’s new body of work shows the tongue-in-cheek frivolity of his earlier pieces developing (or decaying) into a more mature and disturbing direction. The deformities and un-done aesthetic resolve of Lister’s work provides viewers with a concretization of contemporary societies’ psyche – or, as the artist himself states, “making the obvious more, well, obvious”.”
OPENING: Fri. March 19th, 2010 6-9pm
DATES: March 19th - April 19th, 2010

“Procrastination refers to the deferment of actions or tasks to a later time. Psychologists often cite such behavior as a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting and/or completing any task or decision. There are three criteria for a behavior to be classified as procrastination: it must be counterproductive, needless, and delaying.
Procrastination may result in stress, a sense of guilt and crisis, severe loss of personal productivity, as well as disapproval by others for not meeting responsibilities or commitments. These feelings combined may promote further procrastination. While it is regarded as normal for people to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning. Chronic procrastination may be a sign of an underlying psychological disorder.”
So, I have a label I can hide behind now. It’s not me to blame for the lack of posts, it’s the “psychological disorder” of “chronic procrastination” which I suffer from to blame. I knew all along that it wasn’t my fault and wikipedia has proven me right.
Sorry if I haven’t replied to your emails or comments lately, I really have been pretty vacant. I’m back on the horse now and holding tightly to the feisty little filly.
I wonder what has been happening in the world of art…
