sound project 1
I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with this project, so I basically just collected various sounds with my phone recorder for a few weeks. I just recorded several sounds from my life for about a week and a half trying to figure out what to do. I just played around with Audacity… Continue reading → -
final project
I love Game of Thrones, it’s a great show with a great cast. It’s a television adaptation of A Song of Fire and Ice, George R.R. Martin’s medieval fantasy novel series. I’ve used this fantastic map found on the ASOFI wiki to illustrate locations in the series. -

This is Mindless Self Indulgence’s cover of “Bring the Pain” by Method Man. I heard this version first in 2008 and had been listening to it regularly until I heard the original a year later. The band does take the song and put an entirely different spin on it other than using the same lyrics… Continue reading → -
five high school bullies
My little ditty features bullies from the films Heathers, Pretty in Pink, Jawbreakers, Dazed and Confused, and Jennifer’s Body. It was painful to cut this down so short -
brainstorming for video assignments
I saw the vintage how to assignment and I thought of several ideas on what I could do with this. How To Be Kawaii: A totally misleading how to guide on Japanese culture, especially focused on anime, and a few fashion styles and trends I’m fond of. I see a lot of people in the… Continue reading → -
A film that I can’t stop thinking about lately
I can’t get Thirst (2009) by Park Chan-wook out of my mind. I haven’t watched it since late August last summer, and the movie still feels fresh in my thoughts. The American title is so fitting for the theme, as it reflects a literal thirst for blood reflected by Sang-hyun’s need for drinking blood, but… Continue reading → -
bringing 3D models to life
I’ve been meaning to post this for quite some time now. This is a machine which essentially prints out 3D models of toy renderings that I saw at New York Comic Con 2011. I was so impressed and amazed by the concept! My friend, who is also a toy designer, gives me a little narration… Continue reading → -
Don’t even bother patting yourself on the back for donating to Invisible Children
In light of the meteoric popularity of Invisible Children, I find myself shaking with rage. Stop joining charity bandwagons to make yourself feel better about the countless injustices in the world that we are lucky enough not to face. Read about these things everyday, write your government officials once a week, participate in charities like… Continue reading → -
cartoon me
I found another excuse to draw myself, so I rendered myself in a cartoon style for the cartoon yourself assignment. -

I will fine tune and blend at a later date. -

I disagree, it’s how good you make yourself that counts. -
summarize a movie with gifs
I decided to summarize a great film using gifs. It was a really long process that I really didn’t think would be as time consuming as it was. Maybe it was because it was my first time making a gif from video, but I really want to do this assignment over and fix a lot… Continue reading → -
Jim Groom art bandwagon, just because!
Everyone is having a blast with the Jim Groom art assignment, and I decided that I should crash that party. I found the original gif here, and the clip is from an anime called Poyopoyo Kansatsu Nikki. Jim Groom is pretty kawaii, don’t you think? -
a splash of coconut
I decided to tinker with the splash the color assignment for this post. I chose an old photo of my sister from a trip to Belize we went on last year. I just used the lasso tool to cut the coconut out of the color photo, then created a new layer with the original photo adjusted… Continue reading → -
my images with messages
I read this quote and was really taken by the romantic context of it, and tinkered with the text and image I found here. I saw this quote by John Steinbeck and was also really inspired, but I’m not too fond of this image. This one is my personal favorite. Original assignment here. -
a quote I believe should be read by every aspiring artist
“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your… Continue reading → -
my webstory!
I was really inspired by the readings and Larry Lessig, and it made me want to do a piece that was in the vein of yellow journalism and propaganda. My mother, my sister, and I like to tell ridiculous stories the way I narrated the video. -
web 2.0
The Internet has clearly evolved from what was simply text, MIDI, and PNG images to a totally different, much more interactive interface. Sharing on the web has become so much more easier, and it has become far easier to create via the web. Creative Commons feeds into how easy it has become to create via… Continue reading → -
Gardner Campbell
In his essay, “A Personal Cyberinfrastructure”, Gardner Campbell raises the point that most students know how to make use of the internet, but are not aware of how it truly works. Myself included, I feel that this lack of how the web really works does cripple us as a generation. I have been using the Internet since… Continue reading →
