art, animation, & nonsense
This weekend, for the third year in a row, I had the great pleasure of participating in Rooms to Let: CLE, in which a handful of foreclosed houses in Cleveland’s Slavic Village neighborhood were transformed into temporary artspaces. I build a video installation around my animation Emergence #2.
…and here, for your viewing pleasure, is the original animation:
So in my last post I talked about a film that I’d been working on for the past several months. In lieu of of string of updates and work-in-progress posts, here’s the finished beast; enjoy!
So it’s been pretty quiet on this blog. I’ve been busy over the fall and winter (and probably a not insignificant portion of the spring to come) working on a short animated film. Here’s a still:
No title as yet, but the film will be a ghost story of sorts. I’m hoping to have a short preview excerpt up in the near future; stay tuned!
The (more or less) complete installation! I’ll have some video up soon of the zoetropes in motion.
IngenuityFest starts tomorrow at 5pm and runs through Sunday.
And now, a brief preview of Ingenuity 2016’s location: a vacant factory labyrinth on St. Clair blvd. Very picturesque. Very Cleveland. The last photo is the site of my installation.

Cleveland’s IngenuityFest is in less than a week, and so I’m taking a break from the digital animation to work on something more archaic. I’ll be posting updates throughout the week as my project comes together; stay tuned!
I have a couple big art projects coming up the near future, which I’ll be posting about here. In the mean time though, here’s a vaguely sinister apple!
New animation, trying out a few different things with OpenToonz. It ended up with sort of an H.R.Giger-by-way-of-1970s-VHS aesthetic. A look we could all use more of, I think.
