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, ...

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 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 ...

This is is a tutorial for Adobe Illustrator, requested by fellow troll blogger Turtles.  As a failed attempt to make a minimalist travel poster, I found myself creating a new assignment as a way to test the waters with a new program.  I haven’t even begun to realize the potential of illustrator, but I believe this ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
