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?

Stickers again.

Not because twitter is better, or because facebook sucks. It’s because I want to manage less. Twitter is easy, I say something, chat with people when I feel like it, and ignore it when I want to.

Facebook is different. signing in, I am overloaded with requests, invitations, games, and nonsense that i would never normally care about.

Now I understand many people use facebook as the primary means of connecting and interacting with people, and I think that sucks. If a friend needs to contact me, they can call, text, or email me. I wasn’t  on facebook 24/7, so it’s not very efficient in telling me anything of importance.

“friending” vs. “following”
The terminology seems more selfish for twitter, but twitter is much more than an ego boost, (right). It’s a chat room. and only 1 chat room. not a chat for every mundane piece of information ever.

I’d like to thank The Lobsterman for the heads up on this… I did suspect him at first, but the fact that he revealed that he was in a foot fetish thread on /b/ was so trusting that I no longer think he’s guilty.

We are spending the day trying to figure out the source of the image. All versions of the image are named “me-by-mike-shane.jpg” unless it’s an avatar, which usually get a new filename.

The Lobsterman: its called 1187d720106d1002249f281f9300(…).jpg

smells like facebook………

The Lobsterman: Also, not a facebook icon, they are 50×50, not 70×70.

The Lobsterman: your image was posted at 23:42 (11:42pm) which is funny, cause I didn’t find it till almost 1am. those type of theads last a long time.

If you or anyone you know have ANY info on the blatant and abhorrent attack on my personal reputation and well being, please say it in the comments.

More as it develops.

Davecast #8 How to beat a fatal disease

(note: Nick took home the Best Screenplay award, and was nominated for Best Picture at the Staten Island Film Festival this past Summer.)

We are shooting this weekend (Sunday) and are rehearsing this Friday (tomorrow) and Saturday. Each day noon – ???.

I am in a bit of a bind, one of our minor roles had to be given up by the actor originally cast due to personal reasons.

I am looking for a male actor, in their 20’s – early 30’s. The role has about 4-6 lines and has room for improving. You will be required on the set during the entire shooting process. (it’s a short, in one take…. yeah, were crazy.)

If you, or anyone you know are interested please feel free to contact me, or my producer Chris.

17 to Midnight

Update: Pop Tarts Suck Toasted picked it up. He said some nice words.

Update: Fork/Knife just made the song (with video) it’s song of the week.

After hashing out our concept and shooting something completely different, I’m glad the final project is closer to the original idea. I think I’ll put together an alternate video with all the crazy stuff we shot that day.

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…)

New VF_DOS_ Album, and I am helping again

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.

Slow-Mo Bro

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!

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

I went on Vacation with Kristin to Barbados!
I worked A LOT!
DAPS is gaining all sorts of steam.

Wow, I though I’d have more on that list…

Anyway, I’ve baleeted a ton of shit off my server. Namely, my Twitter impostor thing and my infinite loop thing (that never worked). I’ve also cleared house on my facebook account (for an eventual departure/squat), and changed my blog’s theme. No, I didn’t make it. It’s the “Clean Home” theme and I decided to use it as a spring board for my own new cool theme. (Kristin is using this theme too on kristinwithani.com [don't expect many updates there yet]).

I think I’ve just been spending my time recuperating from a horrific work schedule and some bad news about Canada. (See a few posts prior). ugh ok, this is getting depressing. More this weekend, I promise.

Search for a Hot Chick

Calvary greetings, I decided to contact you for friendship and assistance and distribution of my inheritances I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any Pains so I decided to contact you through this medium humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and immense benefit and also sincerely seek your confidence, as I make this Proposal to you as a person of integrity. I got your contact through Network online internet search in my personal search for a reliable and reputable individual to handle a very confidential transaction which involves the transfer of $5.5Million US Dollars. I decided to write you. As you read this, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I Believe everyone will die someday.

My name is Sarah May Allport I am a dying woman who have decided to donate what I have to you/ church/charity Organizations. I was diagnosed with esophageal Cancer for about 7 Years ago; I am married to Sir Gerald Allport who worked with British Judicial Commission in Chelsea England for over a decade before he died on 5th of July in the year 1989. We were married for fifteen years without a child and he has left me everything he worked for.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared For anyone. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my self as that was the only thing I Cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that I know My time is near I have been touched by God to donate from what I have Inherited from my late husband for the good work of God, rather than Allow my relatives to use my husband hard earned funds ungodly.

So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, London and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my family to Close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I have there to Charity organization in Bulgaria; they refused and kept the money to themselves.

Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which is the huge Cash deposit that I have with Financial Firm Abroad .I will want you to Help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations And let them know that it is me Sarah May that is making this Generous donation.

I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and assist me with good heart Please pray that the good Lord forgives me my sins. I have asked God to Forgive me and I believe he has because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation in less than few days. I decided to WILL/donate the money to you for the good work of the lord, And also to help the motherless and less privilege and also for the Assistance of the widows according to (JAMES 1:27).

I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit This money and my husband relatives are not inclined to helping poor Persons and I do not want my husband’s hard earned money to be misused Or spent in the manner in which my late husband did not specify. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the Fact that my relatives are around me and my health status. I wish you all the best and May the good Lord blesses you abundantly and please uses the funds well and always extends the good work to others.

I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free and The nature of your business does not necessarily matter. For your assistance, I am offering you 20% of the total sum for your good will assistance, 75% is for the charity work & 5% will be Mapped out for any expenses that may incure during the course of this transaction. Finally, all I demand from you is assurance that you will not sit on this Funds when it finally gets to your personal or company’s account in your Country. If this proposal is acceptable by you, please confirm your interest via Email and I shall forward for your perusal any documentation to satisfy you That this project is Legitimate.

NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I don’t want anything that will jeopardize my last wish. And Also I will be contacting with you by email as I don’t Want my relation or anybody to know because they are always around me.

Regards,
Sarah May Allport Mrs.
