Hoo boy I have been neglectful! Well lots going on, so let's get to it. The Fort Hayes Alumni exhibition is now up! Check the blog for more info about the who's and whats and wheres. I want to personally invite you to the closing reception on December 18, it's going to be quite festive! Also the Columbus International Film and Video festival that I helped jury will be showing films from November 16-20 at CCAD's Canzani Center and the Gateway Theater. Check the website for times. This coming Saturday November 20 · 7:30pm - 11:30pm there will be an animation and mead tasting event at the Canzani Center that'll help wind down the festival nicely. I will be there, and so should you, check the facebook page for event details.

Oh by the way, if you like beer and are interested in reading a blog about how to brew it, check out this new blog by a friend of mine.

For me things are winding down finally and my goal is to focus on making art and little else. I'm also doing a collaboration, but I can't really talk about it. Because it's experimental it's possible it may never see the light of day, and this may be the last time I ever mention it... so just pretend you never saw this... yeah.

So, sometimes I get song-obsessive, and here's my latest.
Song is Carry Me Ohio, by Sun Kil Moon.
Reminds me of something bitter sweet that didn't work out.

WIZARDS!

I love 70's animation. Via Dangerous Minds I rediscovered the flick Wizards which I haven't seen since my early 20's. The artwork reminds me of Cobalt 60, which was a comic I used to read over and over when I was 16. I loved the artwork, and I just found out that Cobalt 60 is going to be released as a movie in 2011, hopefully they won't fuck it up (it's live action... that kinda bums me out). Anyway, if you like this kind of work, check out the art of Vaughn Bodé. Ralph Bakshi, the dude who is responsible for Wizards was influenced by Bodé, so that all makes sense.

So huzza, the movie is online! If you have some time check it out.
