Color Fields and Line Drawings. For the Game Over show I thought it would be awesome to do a series of color fields based off of some of my favorite Atari 2600 games. I really like how the color field series has two layers. One, if you know the game you can see it and imagine playing it. Or two, that you can look at it as purely a color study. For the second series of work I did three drawings about different Nintendo consoles. The NES, the Gameboy and the Virtual Boy.
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.
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!
A Giant Top! 2010 is starting out at a dizzying pace so I thought I should release this guy early. This is a picture of the new Giant Headspin laying next to his little Headspin buddy on a tatami mat in Takayama Japan. I took these guys along with me to Japan this last trip too. Giant Headspin was fun to spin on the tatami mats. It takes two hands to get this guy going. Giant Headspin is a limited series of 3 tops and can be found in the store today for the January update.
