augiemania ORLY?

Today, VF_DOS_ and I made the new video for Wonder Lock off of his new album Sour Scene (which is damn good imo, seriously).

Here is the video:

I also made a booklet for VF_DOS_ containing all of the post-its found in the video. It’s a one-of-a-kind item. Here are some photos:

wow, it must have been more than 5 years ago when Mike Shane approached me about creating a floorboard for the, then, brand new NYC Arts Cypher. I then approached him to help me make it (as he is a great photographer). Ultimately the board was rejected for being a little “violent” for a community based space, but the work is still something I’m very proud of.

from blog.mikeshanephotography.com:

Carlo Montagnino, aka @augiemania, is a digital artist, designer, and total jerk. Here he is faking his own death in this collaborative portrait. Carlo is responsible for internet sensations like Homosexuwhales & Dog and Pony Show.

without going into whatever silly BS i could to describe what this is, I’ll just say that I had this idea for an image in my head for a few weeks at the time. Something about asphalt, yellow lines and a head wound… I posed for it, because I like to be hands on, but it obviously added a bit more to it.

the original was made to be wheat pasted onto a 10′ x 8′ piece of plywood and then used as a floorboard. Mike, I may have to get this printed up soon… when do you have time?

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.

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″

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″

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!

I made these with the very cute, but very limited Karma Art iPhone app.

Enjoy!
