    Acrid Desires

    by
    Anything is horror.  That tingling of sickening disgust that festers in your gut and spreads throughout your body doesn’t always come because an innocent victim was pushed through a wood chipper. No, horror can come in the whole gushing of ecstasy in idiotic situational romantic films.   I cringe at the thought of You’ve Got Mail, ...

    Mealy-mouthed minion

    by
    Sycophant!  Get away from here before you fawn all over the carpet.  Why do you keep coming back? This is my space.  I own it.  I paid for it. You oughtta be flogged. Humiliated! The nerve!  Why I never… Hung, drawn, and quartered.  There is no other punishment.  It is final,  I must needs have ...

    Busily, MuZZuMs

    by
    Fight scenes in recent movies are terrible.  Action is overwhelming and never ending.  Pfft… CGI.  Even when the action is real, the camera can never hold on one shot long enough to figure out what’s going on.  Hundreds of camera angles and ever changing shots drown the audience in euphoric asphyxiation, giving the audience that ...

    An Update in TDC

    by
    An ode to remember the past two weeks in TDC where time on this cyber infrastructure has come to a crunching hault.  Only recently has the valve reopened and the gears slowly begun turning once again.     52, Pronking:  A wild leap I captured at home.  So rare a sighting I was only able ...

    64 synth

    by
    Synthesize gentle electronic waves.  Congruencey verified.  /play commodore64synth.     Chiptunes are still in style.  As a ringtone, you must demand attention, give a sense of urgency.  So I copy and pasted the bit four times and sped each successive segment up 10%. At this point, I feel comortable with using audacity.  For this coming week, ...

      Dreams so far away.  Where to go?  What to do?  Thunder claps in the distance.  Will he even remember? I began with this frozen beach walk background noise.  From there I added noises such as wind, thunder, sound of a cigarette lighter, and a fog horn, and then adjusted the volume to, particurally the wind, ...

    Heretics.

      This isn’t a story about fire and brimstone.   I’m not going to tell you about my woeful transgression with purposeful melancholy.  I won’t weave a tale of MuZZy’s raging descent into Hell to purge himself of sin. And  nor will I confess my engagements with dark and sultry arts in the shed behind my ...

    Dark Counsel

    Poisonous.  Our waiting is poisonous.  We sit, idly, hoping that others will see the light of our works and come to us.  Our axis-mundi, our light of the world, Jim Groom, venerated as he is, grows weak. Do you truly believe we are all made of the same molecules?  That all of us will jam at ...

    I send my credits to Bavatuesday for his inspiring remix cover of the Big Lebowski video game and this great little assignment. Sifting through box covers of 5200 games for my own, I found this classic “Kaboom!“.  Instantly I thought of an old throwback of mine, Bomberman.  How could I not bring the two together?  A ...

    Luscious Speed

    by
    Atoms quivering, Flash and Superman vanished from the starting line.  In the first picosecond of the race, impossible acceleration hurdled the two superbeings against the fabric of time, freezing themselves in watery and unsavory purgatory of space. Flash, glancing over at Superman, saw sublime determination and clarity.  Sweat dripping from his forehead, Flash realized, even ...

    See-through

    by
    Spirited Away is a captivating, colorful film by Hayao Miyazaki.  In continuing with theme from Princess Mononoke, I have painstakingly dragged a little paint bucket around to capture Spirited Away’s colorful mysticism and create the Aburaya Bathhouse minimalist travel poster.   The method you ask?  Colors were sponsored in part by Kuler, featuring Oil Flame, Japanese ...

    Eyes Unclouded

    So I dared challenge the Minimalist Movie Poster design assignment. Looking retrospectively at other legends such as Jim Groom’s The Birds, Audrey Williams True Grit, or Carlos’s Pyscho. I can’t say my work has been a huge success, but sometimes it’s the journey that matters. So let’s go along and see what happens…. I didn’t ...

    Leap of Faith

    by
    Plumfrost Day 7: Not far from the village, a man called to me.  Sitting on the ledge of a broken wagon, his tiny black legs dangling towards the earth, he introduced himself.  ”I’m Sol Racth, leader of the caravan from Alfitaria,” he said in a shrill voice.  ”Now watch,” he murmured.  And so, I watched, and stared ...
