flickr

I've got a flickr page where my photos look a littler cleaner than on facebook, feel free to check 'em out, right over here - flickr.com/photos/wraith7000/

First pic

Well, I finally got an SLR. I found a Canon EOS Rebel XTi at a pawn shop and ponied up. I've had such a grand time photo assisting lately, and felt re-inspired so, here's my first image with some photoshop tweeking, I'm just trying to figure out the camera and how everything works. Lots to learn, but I'm excited to be learning as always

Tiki art

The piece I created for the Tiki art show at Kustom Thrills Tattoo Rock-n-Rods BBQ & Tiki Art show...it's a linotype block print based on the idol from Raiders of the Lost Ark...I made it a little tikiish to fit the theme of the show.

This is as it sits on the wall during the show

The late bird...

gets the worm too..this guy has like three and it was at least 8pm...

Toy Town...

I tried to make a "toy town" in photoshop, whatta ya think?

Camera test..

I have a new JVC camcorder, this is a test of the conversion software, etccccccc.

Terrence Malick & Dinosaurs?

Yeah, that sounds pretty good to me. If you really know me, you know one of my favorite directors is Terrence Malick and that THE THIN RED LINE borders on one of my favorite films of all time. Now there's news that Malick is working on something that'll have dinosaurs in it along with Brad Pitt and Sean Penn and has WETA'a Richard Taylor as an consultant, no matter how these things add up it sounds good to me. Here's more at Ain't It Cool News.

ZenEarth Games

ZenEarth Games is a new star up company I'll be working with on some cool and fun new video game ideas, check out our blog and follow our progress.

Tilt Shift

Tilt shift photograph is pretty cool, it makes everything look tiny, check out this demolition derby video filmed with tilt shift.

More updates...

yes, yes, I will be better soon...but first I must feast at the Pied Piper Eatery...perhaps I'll give a review when I return. Good plan.

Zelda's Ocarina on the iPhone

Smule has released an Ocarina app for the iPhone, This thing is fantastic, just downloaded it for my iPhone, now I will get the Tri-Force! More about it at TechCrunch.

The Lego Minifig Timeline

I loved Legos growing up, I'm not sure why I still don't get some new ones and build something...anyway Gizmodo has worked with Lego to painstakingly collect and catalog almost every minifig ever produced into a photographic timeline. You will be able to see the evolution of the iconic figure, from the very first sets in the 70s that you saw in our exclusive tour of the secret historic Lego vault to the latest and greatest ones in 2008. Sensory overload ahead.

The Day The Earth...

Stood Still comes out in December. BFFFFF El Dinosketch downunder got to help out in working/creating some iconic imagery. Here are some stills of Gort from the new five minute trailer at Yahoo.

Pac-Text

Pac-Man as an old fashioned text-command prompt adventure game. pac-txt.com

Hover Car

Check out this fella, he converted his BMW to Griff's car in BTTFII.

Rambrew

The Nashville Jewish Film Festival is this week. A print got shipped to us from Israel, but for some reason they covered the box in movie posters. One was Woody Allen's latest Casandra's Dream and the other was Rambo. Both in Hebrew. Cool. I like how it looks like he's really been through war.

Alien Lifecycle block print

Kustom Thrills Tattoo shop had a Monster Art Show opening Sunday. I made a three block prints of the Alien lifecycle. Here's my process.

First some sketches that I went over with with a charcoal pencil.


Then I laid the drawings on the blocks and tried to rub the images onto them, this kinda worked. Then I outlined them in more detail again on the blocks.


Here's the Alien egg carved out.


Here's the facehugger and my work space.


Egg and Facehugger blocks.


Alien warrior block.


All three.


The prints on the wall at the art show

She's always buzzin' just like neon...

My assignment from New Zealand yesterday was to take pictures of downtown neon signs. I did this during the day so most aren't on, but I'm going to go back and take night time pictures for comparision. Also driving there, there we're lots I missed, but I'll make a mid-town picture set to. Here are few from Downtown Nashville, most Brodway and 2nd Ave. Except the Boscos's one is in Hillsboro Village, and iPhone cam caught the refresh on the neon which was interesting.

George's Library is cool, but check out Jay's

The library in Skywalker Ranch at the Big House is the most amazing I've ever personally been in, but check out Jay Walker's.

Debate 08 continues

Here are some more pics activities of yesterday's debate outside and around Belmont, they're here backwards in chrological order, 'cause that's how you add on Blogger. But there's a crowd outside the filming of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews tent, an Obama rally of about 3000 people parading up Wedgewood Ave and Belmont Blvd, there's me and Michelle at Hardball and a kid in a mighty backpack that kept smashing into her and just folks milling around...

outside the Curb Center, horses and the town hall folk's buses coming in

a sign of things to come?
