Presenting the full music video that we did for the Interscope band Black Tide.
Interscope requested that we come up with an iconic character that the band can use a’la Iron Maiden’s Eddie. After slamming our hand in a car door for a couple weeks we fleshed out the character and thus, the Bastard was born and his battle with the Bots has begun.

Floating World Animation Fest 2009 Trailer - Holocene, June 25th from Floating World Comics on Vimeo.

The 3rd annual Floating World Animation Fest features mind melting video art and psychedelic animation from the secret world of motionography. "Secret" meaning these are the geniuses that make your music videos, on air graphics, commercials, credit sequences, and movie fx by day... but a closer look at their resumes reveals a true passion for artistic expression and creativity in their short films and experimental personal work. This year's fest screens at Holocene, Thursday June 25th, with a special bonus program curated by Show Cave Gallery (Los Angeles). Trailer features: Yoshi Sodeoka, Eve Duhamel, Peppermelon, Nofun, Bruno Dicolla, Mato Atom, Kaliptus, Kirsten Lepore, David O'Reilly, Nicolas Djandji, Peter Glantz. Music by: Glaznost.

Mediated Realities @ Visual Arts Gallery (Chelsea, NY)

The first art installation/interactive piece is by Jelany Gould-Bailey. He is the man! And yes, I got my animation FALX screening on the HD monitor,.. Banzai!!!


This piece is awesome! I'm not exactly sure who did this one, however, if you look closely, there are video monitors in every mirror, displaying what the cameras are filming through out the gallery.


And this awesome piece is by Taili Wu. She will also be screening the animation inside the sculptural art installation at Archaic Fusion in Jungle Space Brooklyn (06-26-09)

I wish I had a larger memory stick for the camera I used at the time, but unfortunately this is all I was able to capture. I'm going to try and get more video/photo footage sometime before the show is over. But you should definitely go and check it out for yourselves, specially if you are located near New York. If your peeping this blogspot here, you've probably watched my animation FALX, so no point in going for that. But the other art pieces are awesomely phenomenal.
Be sure to check them out!
