Mutant Taco: zine release

Dec 12, 2015

I’ve been busy writing an animated series, Mutant Taco.  It’s about less-than-motivated mutants working at a futuristic fast-food restaurant.  Basic premise, right?

I’ve been lucky enough to have a multitude of talented co-conspirators at my side for this one.  At a recent Mutant Taco reading/ zine release, eight excellent actors brought the characters to life.  Held at Art Share in downtown LA, the reading brought out friends new and old.

The Mutant Taco Work Mutations Guide made its fancy debut as well.  Printed with love in LA by risograph masters Tiny Splendor, you can snag a copy here.

Northern Sights

Sep 9, 2015

Northern sights– a collection of Portland imagery, filtered through the eyes of a four-year resident.   I took these photos during a preparatory period, as I transitioned from the Pacific Northwest to Southern California.

Do I miss Portland?  Not so much.  It’s changing rapidly, so quickly that the city I knew has completely evolved into a sleeker, sexier, more corporate beast.  All the Portland people complaining about LA are watching their city become a mini-version with more tattoos.

This selection of shots was chosen for their personal relevance to my life in PDX, and their interesting juxtaposition, from street-shots to still-life.  Northern sights:  visions of my past.

THREE THINGS BRANDS DID3

 

These movies are part of an ongoing series I call ADLANDS– collages of advertising from years past.  I love the way media reflects and shapes our world.  Cutting up content, using only the finest, most expressive parts of it, putting it together to create new meaning… that’s alchemy, baby.

What’s that music?  I made it.  You can hear more of my stuff here.  Or not.  It’s weird.
