I've been collecting these doodles from the various hotels I work in for about four years now. It's a form of found art or maybe even folk art that's always amused me. It's definitely a statement about the corporate world.
I plan on hosting a gallery show as soon as I gather enough material, but please enjoy the tumblr blog in the mean time.
Dreams have always fascinated me, and a few nights ago I had a particularly interesting one. I dreamed of a totally sustainable, self contained, Utopian human settlement set among the ruins of a formerly devastated society.
Some massive ecological disaster happened centuries in the past, humans managed to survive and rebuilt society in a better way, coexisting with nature.
It was a very visual dream, so to represent it more accurately, I recreated the settlement using the old SimCity 2000 Urban Renewal Kit that I spent hours playing with as a kid.
The settlement consists of a large arcology structure with a few surrounding buildings, in the middle of a massive crater.

The edge of the crater was lined with the ruins of a destroyed city. Presumably, the old city sprawled across the entire map at one point in time. An asteroid or man-made disaster destroyed most of the old city and left a huge crater in its place, which was overtaken by nature centuries later.
It's organic vodka and an organic vanilla bean, so the price is about the same as buying organic vanilla extract, but it's more fun and satisfying. Also, if I can find a source of less expensive vanilla beans, it would be cheaper to do it this way.
Cheers!
We did it again! Another fantastic Fractal Forest interactive art space at the 2012 Sea of Dreams NYE party.Rich DDT and I co-curated the space that was filled with interactive installations from local artists, Including Tim Thompsom, Moldover, Drew Detweiler and more.
Huge thanks to everyone involved and to everyone who visited the space. Happy new year!!
I am now on vimeo! There is only one video up so far(mainly because they only allow one upload per week), but stay tuned for more. If you are on vimeo, add me to your contacts to stay updated with all my latest videos and such.

Lately, I've been translating my analog video art into the realm of digital media, mainly to provide visuals for musical acts. I've got some exciting stuff down the pipeline: Audio reactivity, MIDI controlled video clips, digitally created feedback and more!
I'm currently working with singer/songwriter/controllerist/guitarist Blair on a live A/V setup. I've been doing visuals so far, but stay tuned for drums and visuals combined!
We are performing tonight at Puissance, at Viracocha in the Mission. Check it out!
