I finally got around to making some cover art for my EP, Loom. Now that is completed, I’ve has some CDs made, which are available for $3 bucks each. Of course, the mp3 versions are still available for a free download.
I made this using pencil, watercolors, india ink and water soluble oil pastels.

Well, it took a bit longer than expected, but I finally finished my baritone ukulele EP, Loom. It’s a collection of some of my earliest songs… The majority of them are 7 years old at this point. Needless to say, it’s been a long time coming. One million thank yous to my lovely boyfriend for recording and mixing it for me.
You can download it for FREE for a limited time, so get it while the gettin’s good.

I made a painting at Crafternoon yesterday. Not the best thing I’ve ever done, but not the worst. It feels good to work so quickly. This took about an hour, I think.
YEA art!

I recently had the pleasure of working on a project called Patchwork Tweet.
You also have the ability to convert your personal, preexisting tweets into a 3 panel comic.
The patchwork of twitter trending terms:
A single tweet:

We also made an installation version that automatically selects a “patch” to explore at random. I built an enclosure that houses 4 LCD panels all randomly selecting one “patch” at a time.

This is a silly little test swf that I created while working on a project for the Intelligent Information Laboratory. It’s not perfect… but it sure is fun.
Go on… Get out some aggression. It might be the healthiest thing you’ve done all day.

So, a friend of mine, Patrick, has been performing a art/video project on Youtube for the last year. The project can be viewed here.
The project:
1. Upload a video to YouTube.
2. Download said video from YouTube.
3. Reupload the video you just downloaded.
4. Repeat 999 times.
Turns out the natural deterioration of the re-compression is a lovely thing to watch.
By the 1000th time there is very little left of the original image and sound track. What remains, is a pixelated wash that vaguely suggests movement. Art + Technology once again comes unique and super cool.
This was covered over at Mashable. READ THE FULL ARTICLE.

So, it’s 11pm last Sunday. I’m watching a Dr. Who episode I’ve seen before and it suddenly strikes me that the PRF songwriting challenge is due in one hour.
So, I whipped out the ‘ol baritone uke and wrote a simple, little ditty in about 20 minutes, recorded in 2 takes , with 1 mic and ended up tying for first place. Woo hoo! I’m kind of a winner!
The challenge was the write a song that somehow has to do with vegetables. Here is a link to the whole week’s entries:

Mine is titled: Iamnotavegetable
