i saw this french info-graphic at a customer service phone at Paris CDG airport. i’m really interested in the symbol in the top right corner with the two overlapping faces. it reminds me of this (check out 1:26).
i think it’s supposed to mean “meeting point.” weird.
N.A.S.A. (North America South America) is an amazing arts and music collaboration featuring some of the most amazing graphic, video, and music artists out there. created by Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon, this collective has some of the coolest music vids EVER, and feature amazing animations by the likes of flourescent hill and syd garon. check em out!
this awesome music video for the japanese group sour was made by their fans on webcams. it’s an amazing example of low-tech process / high-end results.
This music video was shot for Sour’s ‘Hibi no Neiro’ (Tone of everyday) from their first mini album ‘Water Flavor EP’. The cast were selected from the actual Sour fan base, from many countries around the world. Each person and scene was filmed purely via webcam.

i created this typographic animation for prof. christie shin’s digital design i class at pratt.
the assignment was to create an animation in flash primarily using typography, representing a neighborhood in new york city. we also had to create a brand identity for the neighborhood. i chose stuyvesant heights - my neighborhood! my intention with this animation was to brand stuyvesant heights historic district as a destination for anyone who appreciates brooklyn history and is interested in the culture, community and architecture of this extremely well preserved, turn of the century neighborhood.
our next assignment is to create an image-based animation using after effects.
i’m excited about the second assignment, as i’ve never used after effects before. this assignment wasn’t necessarily easy (although i do have ample experience creating websites in flash) but it’ll be interesting to see if i’m savvy enough to be able to translate the images in my head to the screen.
Younger sister Frarajaca (Erin Markey) made a video for art class. She also wrote the song. She’s kind of an art star. And she’s totally going to the art fair. Spell my name in heiroglyphics!!
