Sparth's Structura Is Finally Here!

A book I have been waiting for a loong time is finally out. One of my favorite concept artists, Sparth, has finally had his book, Structura, released to the public.



While at the Massive Black/ConceptArt.org Revelations Symposium this January, I had a chance to watch him work up close and ask specific questions about tools and techniques. Great guy.

I Love Bjork

Bjork's new stereoscopic 3D video for "Wanderlust" shows her never-ending commitment to art and her fight to make it happen on her terms. Her ability to protect collaborators is amazing.

Ralph the Punk (1985)

Wow. Very weird, but not unexpected these days. My video that was created with Johnie Horn in 1985 has appeared on YouTube via EVL. 4 bit color, ZGrass animation language, digitally scanned referenced footage from shooting a monitor with a video camera and converting that to digital. Wow. Flash from the past.

It's a little truncated on the front and Johnie's cool credits are missing, but that's a lot to ask for a video made 23 years ago.



The song, Hot Monkey Love, was written, produced and performed by Brian Messiah and myself, along with Byron Smith engineering. That's Lori B Jones on narrating at the front of the track and me squawking on the rest of it.

This video opened a lot of doors for me in the world of computer graphics. A big thanks goes out to Johnie, Sally and the EVL family.
