Performance Art

Final Performance art. For this project I chose to make a suit of glow sticks and walk around ybor city. I interacted and danced with people I did not know and made a definite impression on those who saw me. I was embarrassed at first, but after a while I ran with my idea and had fun with it. Overall I think this was a cool project. This was my first time audio editing songs to create a mixed version. I chose songs from DeadMau5 and Pitbull to create the remix. This was the most difficult part of the operation, I spent a lot of time mixing and choosing different songs to use. Overall I am happy with the result of the song, even though it is choppy, I enjoyed the effect I created to the video. I wore rave gloves for my tie to technology. People really enjoyed seeing me light up, including the drag queen who told me to come back next Thursday when it was 18+ in the bar. This was a learning experience at its best.

Illustrated Me :)

Shpongle Bot Rendered in Maya

Shpongle Shack art

The painting pallet of Shpongling :)

 This is an ode to Lizzi Giller and Margot Parsons, ah remember the days in high school driving in your car, Margot, listening to Sublime.

 Beautiful art done by Kaitlin Murray, it us made using liquid paints on a transparency of a fish. Placed over a foil sheet for optimum reflections :)

A list of quotes from the Shpongle Shack created by Justin Cacuchon, Kaitlin Murray and me.

Diego the Dinosaur, created by Margot Parsons and I for Ultra Music festival 2011. Diego's tail is proudly is attached to a children's red light saber [that doesn't light up, how lame] by neon orange duct tape. He was carried around on March 27th, my birthday as a second pinata animal [with the first being the infamous Tiki from Bonnaroo]

The Shpongle Bot

Science fiction project for my Illustration class
Meet- The Shpongle bot.
Inspired by the great band, Shpongle

These are my preliminary drawings for my 3D assignment. I will create a 3D model of the Shpongle bot in Maya 2011 (:

phase 2

So I've been riding Sheila around for about 2 weeks now since the project. and surprisingly, mostly all of the photos have stayed glued on my board ;) The most I get is a bunch of weird looks from people asking me what the hell is on my longboard, and i simply reply- my face. Its for a project. Although Sheila is now a work of art, I feel she has increased awesomeness. I really like riding her around with my face on it, as awkward as it is stepping on myself. Anyway it seems to be unravelling pretty well. I'll upload other photos as phase 3 rolls around in another few weeks :). My board definetely grabs a lot of attention, its interesting to tell people the story- Lots think its even pretty cool ;)
