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.

Blue Roundels

More abstraction, this time working a bit more with elements of randomness.

(Done in After Effects, but this is really a job for Processing…)

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!

RGB Moire Stretch

Two simple screens, one blue and one red, overlaid on a green background, and slightly deformed, to produce interesting moiré effects.

Best seen fullscreen, otherwise you get additional moiré effects!

(No sound on this one)

Aztec Calendar Displacement

Continuing with the theme of abstract colors… this time I’ve added in a photographic element, a picture of an Aztec calendar I took on a trip to Mexico.

Displacement mapping spreads out the colors of the image, revealing the texture of the calendar.
