Friendly reminder that we are all living in the stacks. Yorplasmo in particular, the saucy interplanetary sausage... I also use Linktree in my bio to connect you with the other places that I inhabit and share my work πŸ‘€.
β€’
Strange to imagine but my tree grows among all others in the vertically integrated landscape of externally facing gates and roads connected to internally situated taverns. Via these linking trees, you are always magically moving, even when you appear to be stationary πŸ›Έ.

This stopmotion GIF was made by me, but it's concieved using proprietary tools, and a certain 'Walt Disney creativity' (Lessig 2005, Chapter One: Creators)... rip, mix, burn.

What stacks do you live in? Who likes neon, btw? I know I do 😍.

'Longtail' (2020), digital speed-painting.
Vocal narrative cover artwork from a story I wrote called 'The Fox with the Extraordinarily Long Tail'. I accidentally deleted my sketches so I have no process shots 😭 Does that ever happen to you?

I had this idea to remix the unlimited power meme into an emoji for when we are feeling powerful.
Peeps love it the meme but its also kinda lived its best life - now it is nostalgic. Perfect for emoji!
My take was to iterate on pepe the frog, who has over the years been so violently torn from his original message and not so long ago put to rest by the artist originator and community of meme spreaders.
This version attempts to recontextualise and revive the truly unlimited potential of a meme.
I give you... Unlimited Power Pepe πŸ’• . . . .
Can link to a download as an emoji for use in discord / slack / anywhere custom emojis survive. . . . .
Do y'all like the glow, or the solid colour lightning better? @ Wollongong, New South Wales

Finding ways to bring my studies, interests, and creative practice together.
A little reflexive verb summary prior to exam time!
Swipe right for insights into my process. ClichΓ© colour schemes can reveal the message of a medium. I tried some warmer hues but settled on blue. @ Wollongong, New South Wales

I'm time-lost friend, what is the hour?
The all-night trend,is no superpower.

Join the club,sanity is overrated.
My thoughts be mud,our crazy is fated.

What is this that eye does measure.
A bright flash, a fiz. Time travelling treasure!?..
Swipe right for the original versions. Thought I might rehash the topic for a little something I'm working on.

Creative process needs 'that good kind of practice'. All artwork comes from something simpler and develops from there. Use references (!) especially while you are still learning the bodily forms of humans, animals, perspective, technology etc. YouTube illustration advice and challenges and make work that your peers can give you feedback on - often!

I imagine that I not alone might recall, within the parking lot of a big-bucks mall.
Talking about what we had seen,
when this little critter tumbled,
out of a wormhole between.
The bird stupidly squawked and
frequently farted.
Now feeling anxious my friend suddenly started: "go away you smelly bird!"
At this the floof did not attack...
falling silent as its eyes rolled back.
With uncanny rotation the beast lost grip, sliding backwards over the railing-lip.
It's still an unsolved case.
Bonkers in the head or lost in space?...
Does it inspire relief, or a pang of dread? Perhaps he is now a little bit dead.

Small things can inspire a creative impulse. I write myself stickies if I haven't the time to sketch out a concept. I do foresee a series of these 'crazy collector's cards' [Watch this space].

Can you think of a time in which circumstances came off otherworldly or simply a bit odd?
