Sneak Peek. I’m really excited about my piece ‘Virtual Perspective’ for the GR-SF show Game Over 3. I’ve been working on a series of 3D drawings for awhile now and when I got asked to join the Game Over show I thought it would be perfect to draw one for Nintendo’s Virtual Boy. Below is a link to the 3D image that you can try and see. This is one of those things that you will need to try different things to see it. Basically you need to try and stare past the drawing so that you create a third image in the middle of the two (You might want to try going slightly crossed too). You can try to bring your face close to your screen and slowly back out until something comes into sight too. I really hope you can see it.

Group Show. I’m really stoked to be in the next group show at GRSF which is all about video games! Video games have been apart of my life since I first played Pitfall on an Atari 2600 in 1982 at my friend’s house. Then after getting my own NES in 1985 I’ve been a loyal Nintendo fan since. The show opens March 12th and the reception is from 6:30 to 10.

Apartment House. This is the living room of the apartment I stayed in while living in Stockholm. The apartment was really amazing. It was the size of a house with 12″ ceilings but in a building on the third floor and was fully furnished. It was crazy to me how big it was. I’d never lived in an apartment like that before. It was really awesome living here. The other amazing thing too was how much daylight this place got, I loved it.
Pillow Talk is a quick little stop motion experiment I thought to do while I was taking pictures of Pillow Head to show here on the news page. To add to the experiment I animated the entire piece in Illustrator frame by frame and only used After Effects to output the sequence as a movie.
I’m also really stoked to have been able to collaborate with Chaz Windus of Blazing Lazer to make the music for my animation. I passed off the animation to Chaz to check out and he sent it back with an awesome track perfectly timed! I love the way it sounds and the title he gave it too ‘Pillow Talk’, Thanks Chaz!

February Store Update. I’m really excited to release my first limited edition pillow as well as another Kokeshi in the February Store update. Pillow Head is limited to 10 pillows and is the first in a series of new things I’ll be doing with fabric. Get ready for the year of fabric!
