Project Examples from Aug-Sept, 2022

September 30, 2022

In August and September, I focussed more on making my musical sounds sound more…musical. I figured out some new thing with audio samples, generative drums, and other ways to keep things sonically interesting. I also started combining elements from my experiments with oscilloscope graphics and “regular video effects. Last week, I bought a transparent bubble chair from my favorite thrift store and I’ve started using it with my flat-panel TV to make huge Pepper’s Ghost reflection illusions. So, you can expect more large-scale effects in the months to come.

Project Examples from Jun-July '22

August 4, 2022

In June and July of 2022 I focused mainly on vertical videos to share on Instagram and TikTok. This works out well since many of my assemblages are stacked in a vertical orientation. I’m learning more about synthesizers and becoming more comfortable with a regular workflow.

Glow In The Dark TV Pins, Now On Etsy

May 31, 2022

My glow-in-the-dark TV pins have moved to Etsy! Etsy has a built-in social community, better shipping options, and easier inventory control than what I was using before. I still doodle on the packing slips and put the pins in the mail ASAP, so if you’re in the market for my brand of television-themed enamel pins, please stop by the Etsy store to see them all.

Experiments with Oscilloscope Art

May 15, 2022

Last month, a friend of mine lent me an oscilloscope. I wasn’t sure exactly how to use an oscilloscope to make art but apparently everything is a researchable sub-genre on the internet and “oscilloscope art” is no exception…

Further along with "Pepper's Ghost"

May 27, 2021

Since the initial lockdown of 2020, I’ve been spending a lot of time exploring the “Pepper’s Ghost” reflection illusion that I described in my 2019 post. I’ve tried lots of different combinations of video sources and reflective vessels. I’ve learned so much about photographing these experiments, using live video software to manage them, and just generally what works and what doesn’t…

Woodgrain Television Glow In the Dark Enamel Pin

May 26, 2021

In October 2019, I shipped out the first batch of Glow In The Dark TV pins to Indiegogo campaign backers. It was the culmination of months of a random series of events, a collaboration with friends, and a wildly successful crowdfunding effort from supportive patrons. You can read about the first run of TV pins here on my blog. Since then, I’ve experimented with many different designs of the pins and the sticker sets that come with them.
