Head Case Music video

2010-09-10T14:21:00.001-07:00

My new music video for the band Acid Westerns is complete!

Arcada Fog (of is it Arcata?)

2010-05-22T19:02:00.000-07:00

The following is a special cartoon that I made entirely by myself using Photoshop, After Effects, and Blender. The music is by the rock band Acid Westerns.

So here it is... the culmination of an independent study in Digital Printmaking, my love of rock music, and the history of astronomy in Europe. Also, there's a moose in there somewhere. Keep in mind, this video is of the highest possible historical accuracy, except for Newton's hula hoop.

Here are some kind words about my video from a fellow blogger...

Here's some stills from my animated series 'Copernicus Pox', written by Justin Duckham and animated by myself.

Here is part 1 and two of my twenty minute epic, Copernicus Pox 3: Barackan, All Too Barackan...

Hope you enjoy those and feel free to leave a comment!

another lithograph

2010-05-13T17:32:00.001-07:00

to be precise, this is the lithograph in the process of being created. This was the step just before etching the print. I took a picture for documentation, just in case the etch destroyed the print. As it turns out, it didn't. I'll post the final print up soon.

Lithographs

These are lithographs that I made in the printmaking department at UCSC.

Copernicus Pox Episode 1

2009-04-01T11:54:00.000-07:00

This is the first full animated short in the Copernicus Pox series. I will tweak with this version slightly and then post the final version of this episode shortly. The animation for Episode 2: Christmas in Mid-January (guess when we wrote it) is nearly complete, which leaves only sound recording and mixing. This means Episode 2 will be here in the coming week or so. Garden of the Machine Productions is now writing Episode 3: Hovonian, All Too Hovonian.

This Episode was produced by

Garden of the Machine Productions,

for which I am Animator 'n Chief.
