Pink Alien Landscape

An animated alien landscape painting.

All art drawn by me in Art Rage, then animated in After Effects using a variety of techniques.

I produced this video in its entirety aboard an airplane, flying from New York to San Francisco.

My favorite camera is a toy camera

Takayuki Fukatsu’s Toy Camera is my favorite camera now.

The randomly applied effects make you look at your photography in a new way – it’s really uncanny.

Color Bubbles

Back to abstraction – I am playing with subtle changes in timing, and a very limited repertoire of shapes and colors.

Hot Numbers

A montage of the tiny “bodywork” ads from the back of the Village Voice. I’ve wanted to highlight the unreality of the images shown, the low print resolution, and ultimately, the relentlessness of the business behind it.

(And no, I don’t condone the exploitation that underlies a lot of these business – think of this project as a way of drawing attention to it.)

Displaced City

Working a bit more with displacement maps. Don’t look at this one for too long, it will make your eyes hurt!
