Poor focus, shady editing. But hey, let it snow. (how do you spell GAzebo…?)

Decided to enter this month Gnomon competition. Goal was to create a Pandora creature. This is what I sculpted in Zbrush.

You have to be kidding me.  I am being tracked by the SVS.

My brother Sebastien finally arrived from Paris. While he is sleeping, java in hand I remember events that occurred last summer and may be worthy of a post. The story begins when I received a digital emissary from the society for vascular surgery looking for volunteers to provide surgical services to the American [...]

Two photo of my son Griffin.  Griffin was unhappy with his long hair and revealed to all of us his creative use of scissors.  THere is nothing like digging through old polas and slides, yes everything is illuminated.

Looking through some slides, I found this impromptu shot. E100G is going down the drain, out of stock everywhere, will try my hand at PRovia next week. If only I had skills.

From concept to 3D model.  Needs a lot of work, but the results are encouraging.

rapid Photoshop sketches in orthographic view… attempt to design an insect like creature for a modeling project (did rip off one from Ridley Scott’s Alien)

Neil Paddington’s work is definitely inspiring, but his series entitled the Clinic, left me emotionless.  As Jorg Colberg proposed, this work expose the technology behind the craft of human mending with a touch of Academe.  I have to assume that my detachement relates to the banality of this environment I frequent daily.  Give me blood and drama instead of [...]

Large format polaroid in confined space.

Contrast is really a question of  anomalous delusion. Kissing my hands and dancing in my pocket, these are challenges that I can not attempt. So today, I sliced, poured, and licked. This is the result. A renewal, a revival, a circus of arrogant displays that can only please the blood that bore me. This ignition [...]
