Fuzzball

I created these random pieces of art using my scanner and I believe a cat toy.  

Maybe it was a feather.  I do not remember.

One plue Nine plus Eight plus Seven

In just a few days, Nato will be happening in the city of Chicago.  I have already planned on bunkering down for the entire weekend and only leaving for extreme necessities.
There is a part of me that would enjoy seeing some smoke rising from the Chicago skyline seen from my apartment but that is a very small part of me.  Mainly for the pure satisfaction that this thing has been hyped way too much and we all know nothing will really happen.

While at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I would take sculpture classes to get my mind off the tedious job of animating.  In 2008, I took a hand building ceramics class that let us build anything we wanted out of clay.

For my final, I created an installation piece titled “One Plus Nine Plus Eight Plus Seven”.  Adding these numbers up, it will equal twenty-five.  I decided to make twenty-five ceramic boxes each representing a specific time in my life based on color.  The darker the color, the harder the year was for me emotionally and spiritually.  They were hung on the wall indicating my ever growing life.

And yes, I realize this art piece has absolutely NOTHING to do with Nato.

Butter Elbow Animation Festival

Check it out! My animation, Ballerina Man, was accepted into the Butter Elbow Animation Festival in Hyde Park!  Very exciting news!

No Way

It has been a long day at work been animating
I just want to get to my room to shower eat and sleep
This slow elevator keeps me awaiting
But I get on there eventually

Then I hear

Hold the elevator
And I yell back no way
I push the button to close the door
I’m not holding the elevator
No way

You’re a complete stranger
And I don’t want to make small talk
Nothing against you it’s just very awkward
If you don’t want to wait there’s always stairs for you to walk
But I gotta get to floor thirty third.

And I still hear

Hold the elevator
And I yell back no way
I push the button to close the door
I’m not holding the elevator
No way

Call me rude, jerk, evil, sinister, and mean
Call me nasty, unkind, sinful, or obscene
Just don’t yell
Hold the elevator
Hold the elevator

Hold the elevator
And I yell back no way
I push the button to close the door
I’m not holding the elevator

Hold the elevator
And I yell back no way
I push the button to close the door
I’m not holding the elevator
No way
No way
