I received a mention from local artist Marc Tasman in his recent Journal Sentinel interview for my work digitizing his 10 Year Polaroid piece. Thanks, Marc! Now I am officially in the public record.

I have a couple of shows going up soon! Real, art-type shows! Oh, man.

Marc Tasman, a Milwaukee-based artist, recently completed his Ten Year Polaroid Project (1999-2009), for which he took a Polaroid self-portrait of himself every day. For ten years.

Here's my sketchy-style tribute to Tekkonkinkreet, most likely the best anime you can look at with your eyes. The animation style is unique and lively, as are the characters and everything else about the film. It's about a couple of street children fighting a batch of alien yakuza, and is told from the point of view of said urchins, psychoses and all. The trailer doesn't do it justice.

I've wanted something like this since I first saw the "Let the Wookie Win" scene in the original Star Wars where Luke and Chewbacca play hologram space-chess. Still using the placeholder graphics in the video, but that can be forgiven for making dreams come true.

If you are looking for recent finished work, simply take your pick of the "Gallery of Goodness" located on the right-hand side of the page. Do not be afraid- Goodness awaits!
