New VF_DOS_ Album, and I am helping again

Last night I put up the latest “one-sheet” for VF_DOS_, the enigmatic electro-pop-experimental act making a stink on Staten Island.

When we discuss visual style for his stuff, it’s often playful. This last album, he made the cover art and it was pretty fresh. My take for the one-sheet was to K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) and let VF_DOS_ do all the talking. (also I’ve become obsessively more concerned with figuring out the absolute minimum needed to have a readable website. I think this comes close…)

Slow-Mo Bro

Today I woke up at 6:30am and decided to make these videos that have been in my head for about 3 months. It’s called “Slow-Mo Bro.”

The premise is simple, I take videos of “Bros” (or “Douchebags” or “Guidos”) and put them in slow motion.

Granted, these videos can be hard to watch, but I think there are some priceless moments in them. Check them out if you have some time.

Some Stuff I Made That I Got Around to Hanging in My Apartment

About once a week I get a text message from Mike Shane urging me to post more on this site.

The truth is, I want to, very very badly. However I don’t have the time/content to actually post. Today I decided to FIND the content to post. Just for Mike Shane.

Mike,

I made three (well I made more, but I actually liked three) paintings within the past 3 years that I finally got around to hanging up in the apartment.

duck
This is a Goose. I made two stencils out of cardstock, one for the yellow, and one for the black. Sine they are hand cut, it’s a little rough. Made with Krylon on plastic. 8 1/2″ x 12″

hearts
These are Hearts. Again, Krylon on plastic (a “no outside food is permitted into the theatre” sign), however these stencils were store bought. 12″ x 11″

zombie
This one has a funnier story. I found a cheap print-in-frame of Kandinsky’s Squares with Concentric Rings on the curb around the block from my old house. So I picked it up and drew a zombie on it with some squares. The funny part is that my office at work has the same print hanging (obviously sans-zombie). This is hanging above my bead. Made with Krink. 47″ x 35 1/2″

So there you have it Mike! Hopefully more posts to come! Thanks for the push!
