The Gorillaz always have ridiculous beats, and smooth lyrical sounds. The mystery that surrounds them as they are known to the world merely as their animated incarnations.. check out their home too!
Also on the album are musical artists such as Snoop Dogg, Bobby Womack, Lou Reed, Mos Def, Super Furry Animals’ Gruff Rhys, Little Dragon, The Lebanese National Orchestra for Oriental Arabic Music, etc…

I helped some artists set up today and it was pretty much like walking into Spring. They were setting up full fledged gardens, with fountains, there was some art getting set up, there will be demos going on and art on display by the Skaneateles Artisans.
There will be a painting dog portrait and a stained glass demo for sure!
See the CNY BLOOMS website, to get more information.
It’s right around the corner from Variety Studios headquarters. Check it out at the Oncenter Complex, 800 South State Street, Syracuse, NY 13202.
11 days until Pittsbirds as I’ve been calling it. I will be showing my ever expanding series entitled ‘birds’ in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Saturday the 20th.
There will be work from 15 different artists on display, work in all sorts of media & available for purchase. Five bucks to get in which includes a free beverage.
The name of the event is ‘Art Bash’, in addition to the artists, there will be music and a pretty solid representation of variety studios and friends heading down. It’s going to be pretty awesome, check it out if you’re in the Pittsburgh area or feel like a destination for a road trip!
I will also have prints available in addition to the canvases and wood paintings!
This past weekend was the 24th Annual AM-JAM TATTOO EXPO in Syracuse/Liverpool NY, where Winky Dink Ink’s Bobby Ciffone and Matt Truiano participated in the festivities. It was an impressive convention that I expect to attend every year from now on. So many talented artists from all over set up shop at the Holiday Inn with tattoo enthusiasts mingling and getting tattooed everywhere you turned.
Craft Chemistry is a neat little gallery up the street in little italy, syracuse. Tonight they will be showing ‘beautiful losers’ at 7pm
check out the teaser:
I might have posted this a while ago, but anyway, I don’t really care, you’ll get it again!!
I heard about this song/artist a few months back and keep listening to it on my iTunes… you ask why? BECAUSE!!!! This video actually made me a huge fan of Imogen Heap… Just For Now
I’ll be showing my ever expanding series of birds with the newest fuzzy little guys and prints available for purchase! Check it out at Mr. Smalls Jazz Club in Pittsburgh, PA.

Here’s a photo from the last show, which was a blast.
Lots of stuff going on lately, we’ve been putting together some promo stuff for a band out of Brookline, Mass called ‘Wolves and the Radio’. Above is a bunch of hand out cards that we had some fun painting in accompaniment with the printed illustration I’ve been putting together.
Marcus and I got to meet up with the guys from the wolves as they performed with some of their side project groups, up in Oswego, where the whole venue pulsed, singing along. This illustration will be available soon on t-shirts and stickers.
Also exciting news, there is beginning phases of a new cycling team going into effect with the combined effort of BTB Athletics, Mello Velo Bicycles, Variety Studios, and a handful of other local people who like to ride hard and have fun. Nothing solid yet, but their is some potential! Let us know what you think, or if any of you cyclists are interested!
Hopefully this rain stops soon and it gets nice and cold for some pond hockey!

“The Facebook Facelift is a self initiated project to challenge the form and functionality of Facebook. It’s streamlined, structured and linear interface is more comprehendible, enhancing the user experience and absorbability of content.
The home page features many new benefits: the publisher toolbar enables users to post content from any page within facebook, saving time in navigating needlessly through profiles; the streams’ two-tiered filter (content type & content contributers) also creates a more coherent structure with the core elements retaining their position throughout most of the site; and the live feed displays a constant stream of all content posted in a users network, which expands upon mouse over.
Profiles also integrate with the system more seamlessly. Just as friend lists filter the stream by a select number of people, user profiles simply filter content to a single person, creating a clearer and more comprehendible layout.
The Facebook Publisher subsite is designed to support the growing use of Facebook as a primary form of contact as email once was. The separate address, publisher.facebook.com, would be permitted in businesses where Facebook is banned, allowing users to send messages without the distractions of user generated content. The interface is a mirror of the publisher toolbar ensuring a consistent interface.
Skimmer: I openly accept that components of this were inspired by the beautiful Skimmer but I think there is more than enough individuality in this project to not call it a copy. I’ve never understood making things different just for the sake of it, it is a method of progression. From using Skimmer I found that the feed layout and expanded view were useful, and tried to improve these aspects through further simplification and clarity.
Advertising: As this is a concept, I intentionally omitted banner advertising. However the layout has been designed to accommodate ads to the right, user content would simply scale to make space. It’s no different to a concept car leaving out, say… the engine.” – Barton Smith
Light paintings have been around for years, people create long exposures and paint their own picture using LED’s, flashlights and other illuminating tools. There are numerous amounts of videos out now showing light animations that would blow your mind. Plus I love some stop animation as you already know.
This video actually made me a huge fan of Imogen Heap… Just For Now
