Netflix and LOVE

 If you haven't watched the new series "Love" on Netflix, then you are missing out. Your only excuse is not having Netflix, or not having a family member with it that you can mooch off of.

"Love" is a great story of life and dating between two great characters, Gus and Mickey. One of my favorite aspects of the show is how much of this show doesn't even involve the two of them interacting. You really feel like you know these people by the end of the series, especially after diving deep into their everyday lives. Paul Rust and Judd Apatow created the show and its feel is very reminiscent of the realness of Freaks and Geeks, which Rust said he was a big fan of.

Take a look at the portrait I made of Gus and Mickey, set to the theme song by Lyle Workman from the KILLER soundtrack(the score/music selection for the show is a big plus).

Thanks for watching!

Here's a crappy iPhone photo

Sasquatch Mural

Here is a new time-lapse of a baby room mural I did of Sasquatch and his Little Foot.

Hope you enjoy!

Black and White and Red All Over

I recently decorated and painted the Podcast Room at CreativeLive's Seattle studio. Matt McMonagle and myself were asked to make the room sound great for podcasts as well as art up the walls a bit.

Here is what we created.

The books were purchased from Half Priced Books with their awesome "books by the yard" deal. We estimated we would need about 80 books and by the end of it had used exactly that.

The total project probably took about 10 hours over the course of 2 days.

Also, the great tunes were provided by Jamie Blake, whom we also work with. You can download the track on his bandcamp.

Stop, Motion.

With a click of the play button on Two Door Cinema Club's Tourist History, I have been transported to my past.

As "Do You Want It All?" began to play I was reminded of the stop-motion video my buddy Jole and I made years ago, not to mention a couple recent work conversations regarding stop-motion animation.


We originally would hold down the right arrow key to scroll through Photobooth photos to animate our images.

After throwing it into Final Cut we were able to make this.




A lot of fun to make, and sometimes confusing.


Prior to this double-laptop, stop-motion beast, Jole and I were riding solo in own own videos.


My first:



My Second:


I hope to do more in the future. I have a nicer camera now and even an intervalometer! Look at me now mother.


Stay tuned for #someothertimeinmypastsunday!


Not really.... but I might have to draw 2 #barfadays tomorrow.

RIP TMNT

My April 2014 mixed media piece for the 3rd annual MINT Condition Gallery at Ltd. Gallery in Seattle, WA.

I found this killer remix of the classic TMNT arcade game for the background music, created by Bankai.

ENJOY.

What is Krewella's Biggest Mistake?

Well if Krewella doesn't choose this shirt, that would definitely be a huge mistake! Look how drippy and melty it is! No one would be able to resist.

I could use your help if you'd be so inclined. This shirt is in a contest to get created and your support would mean so much to me. Just click HERE and hit "Support Mike". Here is a video to hold you off until this design becomes a shirt! Enjoy



Thanks!

What Does Day Dreaming Look Like?

I was put to the task to make a visualization of the sounds and words from the track "Eye Dozed On" by Cej, from his album Sleepwalker in Paradise. I posted the album cover a while ago which I also created for him.

Enjoy this time lapse of myself creating his mixed media art piece.

Fireball Bunny!

Here is a poster I made that didn't make it past this stage.... life of a graphic artist. Although, I did happen to film the whole process for anyone interested in the process. Enjoy


The song is also a kick ass mix by Wik-it the Instigator from his Tarantino mash-up album.

Are Saturday Mornings What They Used To Be?

Of course not! That's why the good people at Ltd. Gallery in Seattle made this wonderful gallery to remind us that we can't roll out of bed with our blankey anymore and snap crackle and pop while we watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Here's the flyer, video of my piece after the flyer!

Macklemore Portrait - Make the Money

Here is the time lapse video for my latest art piece called "Make the Money" based off of the Macklemore lyric, "Make the money, don't let the money make you".

I just realized I forgot to add the 3rd progress video here. Well it's kind of pointless now but here it is anyway.

Artwork in Progress Part 2

Watercolors. The 2nd medium used on my new artwork in progress. The third is black ink.
