Hmm. Perhaps something is afoot.
Poetry?
Posted on May 20th, 2008 by admin
A bit of an experiment. I wrote this for Poetry Writing class, but it turned out nicely. It was kind of a summary of why I end up drawing or painting; irises and winged things tend to crop up no matter what inspires me. The question is, is it maudlin, or does it actually read well? Any comments welcomed.
Messenger
Take that frame from this film
Or that note, or this stroke of paint
What is it that struck me so?
A tuning fork hummed
Behind my eyes, in the earth
A song of completion, knowledge
Frustrated epiphany
Which comes and flees
Each messenger improbable but sure
Carrying bliss and leaving irises
Fluttering in the cobwebs.
My imitations often stumble
Vessels which fail and leak souls
And somewhere, the echo
Of the objective presence
An unknown existence
Apart from myself.

Shazz is a comic artist friend of mine. I really like her designs and line work, so here she is:
Sidewalk Arts time-lapse

SCAD on Demand took a really cool time-lapse video of a chalk drawing at Sidewalk Arts.
Music!

Today we have an amazing techno song using dialog clips from Portal. It’s by someone called “Victims of Science”, who doesn’t (don’t?) appear to have much of an online presence at the moment. I hope he/she/they do more!
New media art
Posted on May 8th, 2008 by admin
I think I can safely say that “new media art” is a term which, like ‘World Music”, doesn’t do its applicants justice. It does, however, contain a lot of art pieces/events which are unusually fun and odd.
Evoke
Color, determined by people’s voices, projects onto a cathedral in York. Warning: loud noises in video. This looks fun though–I’d love to hook the system up during a concert and see what an orchestra would get.
Shadow Monsters
This takes a camera’s view of hands, adds its own little touches, then projects the result like shadow puppets.
Oh, and this guy:
Obzok …I don’t know what he is, but he’s cute.

More sidewalk works:
I don’t know what to make of this one:
This doggy was hanging out earlier at his square.
Sidewalk Arts part 1
Posted on May 5th, 2008 by admin
This past Saturday in Savannah, the Savannah College of Art and Design held the annual Sidewalk Arts festival. It’s a competition where students, prospectives, and alumni draw on concrete with really nice sidewalk chalk. Needless to say, you get some amazing results. Unfortunately, it rained this year, so a large number of people had their hard work destroyed.
There was still a lot of art to see:
There are always a lot of water-themed entries, because of an environmental contest which has a separate prize from the main competition.
Usually you can find some very geeky things too:
More coming tomorrow. : )
Weekly Video

(”weekly tubes”? “The daily tube” sounds kinda cool..) A week sounds like a good interval for media posts. I think I’ll go with that.
So, for your aural pleasure, I present Ed Alleyne-Johnson!
Found this guy on Youtube a while back. He plays the electric violin, does live street performances, but also has CDs on the UK Amazon. It’s really beautiful stuff.
Junopsis.com is up!

This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. In the event of an emergency…
Okay, ha ha. No seriously, this is a test post, I’m using it to give some length to the page while I work out the way it’s going to look. I suppose that images and Youtube embedding come next, but I’ll get to them once I have a blog which works correctly (and isn’t unreadable like this is at the moment).
-Check font size
-title image (offset to the right, not centered, no border.
-Add white layer between background and posts (Cute Overload is an example, I need to find out how to code that). Just coloring columns looks pretty ba
-Recolor style sheet
Yeah.. Junopsis has a long way to go. I want it to be an art blog; to link cool videos and artworks from the Internet, and to post both my own work and photo sessions from art events and others’ work
