…when the more you work, the more work you have to do! This, of course, is not about complaining. It’s just a daunting mountain of paper scraps that pile up and look like I haven’t done anything. That said, as the pile of half-completed books gets larger, it is a pretty sweet accomplishment. Naturally, said [...]
A digital memorial is a website that is used to eulogize a deceased person, generally with the idea that the fact that it’s on the internet is enough to have it last forever. These memorials can take many shapes as more people create them. They can be specialized sites made to collect individual eulogies, or [...]
In a limited edition of 5, I present “Triangle Theology,” pseudo-explorations of the H. Trinity in the form of cut Triangles. More pictures from the inside: Each page has a freehand triangle cut in it: The pages are cut from larger watercolor washes: Halfway through, the phrase “…and in the H. Ghost” appears: All writing [...]
yes, it’s a bit short on it, but anyways, SHOW TONIGHT! The Castle, Diversey and Pine Grove 506 W. Diversey Pkwy Kevin Wilson Violet Mice! We Are Vessels Starts at 8! I love that my name has an “!” on it. Anyways, hope to see you!
To spread out my ancient egypts, I chose a more homespun route. I’d promised friends I’d give them some, so most of my remaining copies are now on their shelves, or in their laps, maybe nestled in their covers? It’d be great if they were bathroom reading, too, but I’ve yet to check in on [...]
Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know what I’ve been up to. It seems (for the average public,) that I’ve been doing nothing. This is not the case!!! I’ve been in a class, actually, called “Self Publishing for Writers and Others“. In said class I have much work to do, and much work [...]
The triangle: a perfect form. The pyramid: four triangles in unison, perched atop our fair planet. Four perfect forms in one! In the year 4 billion, two things come to mind: One, is there still an Earth? Are we still on it? Two, if we are still on it, what are we still doing there? [...]
So! For my zine I’ve chosen to compile some science-fiction-y bits and pieces of writing I’ve done from a year back up until now. It’s a varied bunch, some of it more seriously written, some of it coming from classes, and some of it an attempt to write more intense sci-fi (which i’m treating very [...]
The first place I went to to distribute my chapbook was Quimby’s, as I’ve put my things in there before and thought I would feel the most comfortable starting off doing so. It wasn’t going to be that easy, of course, as I’d walked in the hot sun a great distance (four billion miles, right? [...]
(This post was for the class I’m in right now, but I feel like it’s a good summation, so I’m putting it up in this section, as a primer fro stumblers [hello, stumblers!]) It is good to spread out, I feel. What I mean by that is that it is nice to have many different [...]
is here, for you to follow.
It’s been a while. That’s terrible. But my life’s been in flux, yes, flux of moving, graduating, preparation. But hey, I’ve been doing work. I feel so bad about not having any posts in a long time, I’ll show you what I’ve been working on: Granted, that’s in poor quality, and very vague as to [...]
from wikipedia’s entry on “Lodger” “Much of Belew’s work on the album was composited from multiple takes played against backing tracks of which he had no prior knowledge, not even the key. Other experiments on the album included using old tunes played backwards, employing identical chord sequences for different songs, and having the musicians play [...]
How about that! A care package I sent (containing my mini-comics and albums) was written up by my friend Spencer Lemon, on his blog The Silver Lining. A lot of totally great stuff is put up there all the time (I am flabbergasted by their constant updates!), it is certainly worth checking out!
I made a 22-page book for my writing class with Mark Booth, called this: Here are some sample pages: You can download a copy here, or contact me for a physical copy.
Title Pages: eraserinfinitymk2 -Thom Yorke Chapter 1, Later Never Comes: Here – Pavement Chapter 2, Birds: Birds – Dios Chapter 3, Laughing: Laughing – R.E.M. Chapter 4, So Cruel: So Cruel – U2 Chapter 5, Hourglass: Hourglass – At The Drive-in Chapter 6, Say, Fear: Fear Is A Man’s Best Friend – John Cale Chapter [...]
This idea also started a long time ago, in some ways, at least. During the worst class I ever took (called Cyberpower, which you’d think would be the best class, but no), I drew two hideous cherubs singing The Beatles’ “It Won’t Be Long” back and forth to each other. It was satisfying to draw [...]
Ho, one of the three mini-comics this semester brought upon me. Bob Dylan’s 115th Hat came from an idea I’ve had for a long time, that being using the hat Bob Dylan wears throughout 1975 (seen on the cover of Desire) in some sort of metaphysical adventure. Luckily (as the first ideas were a little [...]
It has been awhile! For that, I am sorry, but hey, I’m packing and moving and, you know, finished college and stuff, so it’s been a busy time. Yes, in fact, I’m leaving the house i’ve been in for the last two years, the house that’s given you (and me) everything from some last minute [...]
Hey! I just uploaded an entire show (from back in february) to my youtube, here’s the playlist:
Here are a few pictures I took of the installation I had up in the Undergraduate Exhibition a month or so ago: The images on the wall were the entire version of this comic I’ve posted before: And on the chair were copies of Girlz, the album: Which, as a constant reminded, you can hear [...]
1. It’s grey-green outside, and if it hasn’t started pouring, it’s about to in, like, a second. 2. “let me tell you,” this Prince video DVD I got, while certainly scant, is brilliant. 3. being so into artists who strive for nothing but the absolute BIGGEST is maybe unhealthy for my goals. 4. controversy. 5. [...]
Show Time: Sunday May 10, 2009 – 6:30 PM Venue: Cafe Ballou Address: 939 n. western ave City: Chicago State: Illinois Country: US Zip Code: 60622 Cost: 5 Description: I’ll be playing with Julia Rich, Kevin Wilson, Pool Holograph, and Jesse Carsten! It’s five dollars, but when you play, you get FREE COFFEE and DRINK [...]
Improbable experiments! I know I promised a closer look at my new comics, but for now, a trip down memory lane. It was caused by a brief spurt of self-reflection, by which I mean “I was listening to myself.” It happens. I heard that Prince only listens to himself, but then that goes against the [...]
