As a huge fan of Theo Ellsworth, this animation immediately caught my interest. I absolutely love that surreal, hyper-detailed, doodle/stream-of-consciousness inspired illustration style, and Malcolm Sutherland has taken it to another level by bring it to life in this lovely animation. Enjoy!

When a hungry astronomer falls asleep while working on a problem, he discovers a solution not in outer space, but in the surreal food-chain of his subconscious mind. An animated film by Malcolm Sutherland, with sound by Leon Lo. Made in 2009. For more information or DVD purchases please visit animalcolm.com/theastronomersdream

The brilliant Imaginary Foundation is dead-set on ruling the world with its inspirational and desigenerly sublime tshirts. The latest batch of new prints is not exception. They already occupy half of my shirt drawer… nothing wrong with adding another shirt or two to my collection, right???

Check out this fantastic short film by Terri Timely that explores Synesthesia. The film reminds me a lot of parts of the wackiness that is Funky Forest.

Spotted on the always interesting Synthtopia blog.

 

My friend and amazing artist, Juli Adams is having her Third Renegade Art Show this Saturday, May 16th. Details are below.

The Third Renegade Art Show is almost upon us! May 16th 1-9pm at the Tukwila Community Center Social Hall. (Directions are at the bottom of this post)

Paintings are getting framed, musicians are getting booked, and my excitement level is getting higher every day.

A portion of my new collection includes a number of works created after studio time at the Gage Academy this fall and winter with contemporary realist master Geoffrey Laurence. And the amazing young master Rita Natarova.

These works are inspired by obscure Edwardian photographs who’s heads I have replaced with doe-eyed dolls. They are a subtle interpretation of my internal state. The rest of the collection is filled out with my normal crazed state of working in the moment and having fun with my humorous side.

This time instead of having just my art I’ve included Anthony Angel, an inspired jeweler: Anthony Angel.

And the perfected tees and sweatshirt line of Slate Clothing.

Please join us for this rockin’ event!

A buddy of mine, Brian Churilla, is launching a new web comic based on the mysterious life of the infamous D.B. Cooper. From what he’s told me of the story and the concept behind the way it will be presented, it promises to be a really cool project to watch unfold. The story begins this June, so bookmark the site now, and I’ll make another announcement when it goes live.

Check this album demo out. It’s from chiptune band Anamanaguchi. The chiptune genre is not my favorite, but the geekery and nostalgia involved certainly gives it a leg up on many other genres. This flash-based album demo is ridiculously awesome, though. What a great idea! I’m sure this is being posted all over the net right now and for good reason. Hopefully this is a trend that catches on.

Due to the potential annoyance factor of the visuals, I’ve put the demo behind the “read more” link. Check it out and be amazed!
(I really wish there was a way to stop it, though. Refreshing the page works.)
