This Is What’s Wrong With “Professional” Photography
A segment from the documentary Dreams with Sharp Teeth (great watch, if you haven’t seen it) about Harlan Ellison. This is so much the same as the photography world.
Living Statue Costume and Makeup
So, remember that living statue project I started like…almost a year ago? (Wow, time flies)
Good Jam Session
Had an awesomely fun 5 hour jam session today with Colin and Conrad, here’s some highlights.
A Week of Practicing Drumming
Playing some more drums, recorded to see my progress. I played the crappy guitar riff separately, because I haven’t figured out how to play guitar with my nose yet.
Parallel Pens are COOL
I wanted to try my hand at calligraphy so I went looking for a fountain pen or dip pen to experiment with, and ended up finding Pilots’ crazy Parallel Pens – pens without a funny nib composed of two thin metal plates.
How To: Photography Post Production with Photoshop (And Lightroom)
Follow along as I do some simple tweaking on a couple photos taken by a friend of mine in Pakistan. This will be remedial to experienced Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom users, but might be useful for beginners.
A Song a Week
I’m gonna try and write a song a week. Whether it sucks or not. I vow to produce something each week, and move on! Theoretically I will get better at writing songs… Theoretically… At the least it’ll keep me from playing the same riffs over and over for a month. In the unlikely event that [...]
Things I learned about building guitars
Here is a poorly written, hastily compiled list of things I learned while building my first home made guitar. Not exactly a How To, more like a Be Sure To Remember.
Guitar Building Pt. 4: Drippy
Well my home made guitar is done, and named. She’s called Drippy, named after either a bad experience in the 70’s, or my (lack of) lacquer spraying skills. I can’t believe this used to be boards!
Building My Guitar Pt. 3
Continuing saga of my custom guitar build… Les Paul ish, less than spectacular looking, but pretty damn good for my first try. I shaped the neck and glued it in, and I’m trying finishes out on scrap wood (and the first crap neck I built that got scrapped). Aniline water based dye, and then nitro [...]
Building a Guitar
Well, I’ve been locked up in a room making sawdust for the last week. I’m building a guitar. From scratch.
Some pictures of how it’s coming so far: (Ignore the dates, I’m using some cheap old camera so I don’t have to worry about the sawdust killing it)
Sketchbooks
My journal fell apart the other day. Which pissed me off, because I like to write in nice leather bound journals. Anyway, I copied everything interesting over to a new one, and reading the old stuff made me open up my old sketchbooks. I used to draw a lot. I don’t think I was very [...]
Stop Motion
How nerdy am I? Here’s all the little stop motion things I’ve done. With my Transformers and Gundams. That’s how nerdy.
Edit: Ok I lied, this video appears to only be the Transformers stuff. Gonna upload the Gundam ones next.
Holy Crap!
Robert Shields added me as a friend on Facebook! How friggin cool is that? He’s one of my heroes!
