This was actually completed a little while ago but I have been traveling a lot recently and forgot to post it. This video collage I made using footage I found on various cameras and computers. The music is my good friend Ky Fifer or Ginchy creator of Harebrain Media. The song is "1,000 Times" although I added a beginning that wasn't part of the original song.

(Yarn (Part II)
This is the second part in a series. Please see the post, Yarn (Part I) for the first part in the series. This was performed at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa's building 6. This pulling and interacting with the audience represents my connections to certain people from my past (they are in my blog header) and the yarn are the thoughts and feeling we have for each other. This is my version of a creation myth, I am taking something simple, the "thoughts and feels" and tangle them up with other people to create something new. Eventually in the future I would like to feature these five other people with their own yarn, wrapping each other at the same time. Check back for later films as the series continues.

Please Ask Yourself
I have started a new project which was a semi collaborative piece but now is strictly mine. I firmly believe in the power of collaboration but I do not feel that there has been many possible candidates for me to work with since I have been in Hawaii. At least not that I have met, yet. I am still holding out some hope. This project is a bit of a reaction to some of the people I have been subjected to and made to endure in critiques and class. I think as I post some of my "Calling Cards," the issues I am having and what I am trying to bring attention to will become clear.
This thing is called Please Ask Yourself and I have created a blog for it which you can view here: http://pleaseaskyourself.blogspot.com/
I refuse to think of this as a class assignment because in that context it makes me angry rather then trying to effectively problem solve and I don't have the time to brood. This project was due in a week. This art piece is done in the spirit of Adrian Piper who, as I am reading more and more about her work, is a striking and influential woman. My project is based off of her Calling Card series.
So to see the full description, I encourage you to read to blog. Bellow are some examples of Piper's Cards:
"I always worked as an individual artist even when Group Material asked me to join the group. There are certain things that I can do by myself that I would never be able to do with Group Material. First of all, they are a totally democratic entity and although you learn a lot from it, and it's very moving, it's very exacting, everything has to be by consensus, which is the beauty of it, but it is much more work. It's worth it 100%. But as an individual artist there are certain things that I want to bring out and express, and the collaborative practice is not conducive to that."

Food Moly
Alrighty so I finally got around to working on some moleskins. I have here Lindy's Moleskin. (Sorry I forgot to get a photo before I drew all over it.)
Plus my addition, It's the food Pyramid! (looks better large, there's a lot of tiny detail)
And I added a little something to the title page (because everyone needs some kitties in their life).
Allrighty and here is my other food Moly (finally). Feels like I have been sketching a lot recently...
Both are in the mail to Canada! WOOT!
