The season finale was last night and I enjoyed myself greatly. I think the creators of LOST have not “lost” it… they just keep getting better and better.
Now, I’ve looked at the show differently since I read www.timelooptheory.com. It’s a website with a theory on the whole LOST world and what is actually going on… [...]

Very interesting article, in more ways than one. And I agree that far too often movies get made that are merely regurgitated from other movies before them.
But, yeah, you’re right. Making a movie is a completely daunting task. I’ve talked about this with Wade at length. I’ve often said that I wish I could knock [...]
Orphan Works Bill

Currently before Congress stands the new Orphan Works Bill. If passed, this bill will adversely affect visual artists, as it would drastically affect copyright laws.
Right now, anything you create is protected by copyright, whether you register it or not (although if you don’t register it, you cannot later claim copyright infringement.) Under this new legislation, [...]

A RESPONSE TO STICKMAN’S MOVIE POST
Posted in Uncategorized on May 20, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I remember seeing Time Code at Cinemas East, a four screen multiplex that showcased obscure art and foreign films. The theater lobby was dark and melancholic. Most of the light bulbs had died months ago, and the few remaining fluorescent bulbs were left gasping for life. The theater looked abandoned, as if human civilization vanished [...]

How I Got to Know Robert Rauschenberg
Posted in art, clarity, explanations on May 16, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I never knew who Robert Rauschenberg was. Somehow he had gotten by me. Don’t get me wrong though, I know art. Oh yeah. I can nod knowingly when the name Jasper Johns is mentioned, even throw in that I like his flag picture best. And I can claim to have been a big fan of [...]

The other day I started working on a digital portrait of JFK. I thought I would share a screen grab of the work in progress. As you can clearly see I have very little done at this point. But I probably have a solid 3 hours invested in it thus far.

The current housing market/credit crunch is certainly no secret. But getting a grasp on what happened and is now happening is a real trick.

Modern art master Robert Rauschenberg dead at 82.

NEW YORK (AFP) — Robert Rauschenberg, 82, one of the towering figures of 20th century art, died at his home in Florida overnight, a spokeswoman for the Pace Wildenstein gallery in New York told AFP Tuesday.
Rauschenberg, perhaps most famous for his “Combines” of the 1950s, was one of the celebrated figures of the Pop-Art scene, [...]

MOVING SUCKS PART 1

Last night I started packing up my belongings and began the task of transporting my precious cargo to my new home.

I decided that getting my office up and running should be my first priority, because I can’t survive [...]

So Jason Castro was a complete joke on “American Idol” last night, and if there is any justice, he will be voted off immediately. His song choices were terrible, his stage presence worse and his singing downright stunk up the place. Really, he could have taken a crap on stage and it wouldn’t have stunk [...]

Dang it, this stuff is so good I can hardly stand it. Think Band of Horses meets Le Loup meets Brian Wilson meets Bon Iver; singing their own versions of 16th/17th central choral pieces (ala “Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming”). I’ve got “Drops in the River” on repeat.

I stumbled across Wilmer Murillo’s VIRB page the other day and absolutely loved his work. It’s got this truly wonderful combination of seemingly light (not to be misconstrued as “light weight”) subject matter with just the right hint of something darker and a little sad. And I absolutely love the proportions. It’s [...]
