A large, expressive 'S' overlayed on 'Nelson', with the tail of the S forming the beginning of the cursive "N"

Self-promotion.

Tabloid-sized poster I made to display at the dancing crab promoting my new gig as "Trivia Night Guy"

New portrait version



Original landscape version:

Finished up a corny little animation for a school project the other day. Had the idea of creating an e-card that displays a message in lights on the surface of a planet viewed through a telescope, though I wasn't able to create a custom message input in time for the deadline. So I settled with "miss you". Even though the animation itself comes off as a little simple, and was clearly done by a beginner, I was pleased at the way the alpha channeled .png layers of clouds, stars and planets interacted with each other in the rendered output of the .swf.

Watch it here.

NOTE: the zoom at the end of the first scene sometimes breaks into a seizure-inducing loop that doesn't end for 5 or more cycles. I think this may have something to do with my pre-loader being broken. I'll fix it when I have a second. Until then, just give the flash a minute or so to load at the title screen before pressing the start button.

mixtape 02

I was thinking the other day what kind of music I'd want playing at my funeral. I'm not being morbid, I just think there is a very specific mood associated with funerals that is captured in the sort of darkly-surreal-heartbreaking-yet-uplifting-atmospheric-nostalgic-aesthetic of modern dreamwave/dubstep/electro. Plus it gave me an excuse to head up a mix with one of the more 'epic' recordings ever cut in wax, which, coincidentally, is the song that is going to be playing on my radio when I drive a vintage Lancia Stratos into an erupting volcano at midnight on my 80th birthday.
