Analog Dreams

"Perhaps one of the most difficult tasks of the contemporary artist 

is not to become swamped by the number of techno-tools 

capable of precision rendering of the visible world (photo, film, video) 

and to create with these systems the 'pure' images of the symbolic."

-Bill Viola Reasons for Knocking at an Empty House 

Here are a couple of stills from the footage I captured off my VHS camera today.

I shot it over a year ago, and while reviewing the footage it came to my attention that I need to use it more often. 

Now that I have a means of capturing, I most certainly will.

The future has passed

Hope to have a studio like this one day.

My editing timelines always end up looking this way.

Fine-tuning some stuff.
Time to get real.

It's all piling up!

My girlfriend is leaving to NYC this week for a month to search for our
home in Brooklyn. I'm super stoked about leaving Texas and moving into a new place,
meeting new people and weeding out all the crap I own.

I turned 22 last week, Halloween was before that (we were KISS but, sadly, we didn't
get a group picture), I'm going to see King Kahn tonight and on Friday the 13th is my
first solo exhibit in McAllen.



Tomorrow? Johnny Slash is constructing the window display for No Comply.
I've always wanted to try creating a window display, hopefully everything goes through.





I also finished the Sad Eyes music video for Tummy Toast.
We'll probably have a release party in the next couple of weeks.
I really love the way it turned out....
