gondry gondry gondry

i've heard a lot about gondry recently. like "i want to work with gondry" or "i wish i were gondry's son" who coincidently will be doing a feature with his dad some time in the near future.

i just love what he says about becoming a success in the times article linked above: start a project, finish it. thats the key to success? omg, if i'd known that i would have marched right on down to the marc jacobs store and put my FINISHED dresses right up next to the couture. genius. i love that advice.



i don't care what kind of megalomaniacal statements he makes, i'm stoked about BKR!

is it spring yet? v.2

what white dudes

so bre is doing her homework and i have been watching i don't know, like 7 episodes of 30 rock in a row. so anyway, we found a picture of tina fey's husband (far left) and kenneth from 30 rock on Halloween? or tuesday? not sure but i think the drama club was meeting. way to go tina, i loved the goths too in high school.

enjoy.

is it spring yet?

i was thinking about what exciting things i would get to wear this spring today while tramping around in the snow. i was like "oh i wonder what fun florals i can expect..."

then i realized everything coming off the runway last fall was complete unwearable because there is a brinkmanship of weird going on. like: alexander mcqueen? BLADERUNNER FOR SPRING 08.







i would totally wear that to work... at the Replicant factory.

how cool are we?

this is what we do every night after a hard day of designing things about other media: we're pretty cool.

things and stuff.

i always wanted to be a segerstrom.

We are in full-on production mode lately. Printing a variety of biz / calling cards, tote bags and surprises. A regular, non-blogger blog is in the works as well.

Its about to snow.

WILDCAT.

They're like James and Clara put together but still two different people.
And with lots of hand drawn type. So good.

{ aesthetic profile : jeff barnett-winsby }

Jeffie B. is possibly the single most successful artist I have ever stalked. Wait, I mean met. He is disturbingly honest in the depiction of his subjects which is a quality that is also reflected in his personality. He has successfully grown from just any old stock photo guy to a full blown Phartist (photo artist). He lives and works in New York.

{ the night watch }

{ q + a }
So Jeff, what are you currently working on?

I am finally finishing my super long dragged out prison break project called "Love Notes and Promised Freedoms." I leave tomorrow morning to make the final image in Tennessee at the US marshal's office. [The photo] is of a bird. A parakeet, I think.

This is the project that started as documentation of prisoners rehabilitating dogs and then turned into a wild jail break love story with the dog trainer and a man 15 years her junior? I love that one.

Indeed it is!

How do you think your photos changed over the last year or more, specifically during this project?

I think my understanding of what photography does well has changed. I also think my relationship to being a photographic artist is different now. Working over a period of almost two years on this project has been another really strange aspect of it. And actually it is more like 2 1/2 years since I photographed the dogs. That is a crazy amount of time to stay interested in one subject. I guess my photographs are as varied as ever in style and I am more committed than ever to that and serving the idea above all rather than the aesthetic.

In regards to the time spent, I am more fascinated with it all the time. Daily I have new ideas about what was really happening which sort has made me into an observer of my own work as well as its creator.

{ love notes and promised freedoms }

You told me once that you didn’t want to be a part of that “exclusive art crowd.” Now that you are heating up a little under the lime light do you still feel that way?

I'm really not interested. But all my best friends are artists so it might not seem any different from the outside what I am talking about. I guess I am just drawn to smart, creative, and kind people. My friends are the best and I would say that we were super inclusive. God that sounds mushy.

Its perfect. Speaking of perrrrrfect: what do you think your craigslist project says about you?

It says I am super lonely. But, more than that I think it speaks about how we are changing in regards to socializing. (and I should add that it is not necessarily positive.) I think where people get confused with that work is that I really empathize with these folks I am photographing. Its not that we are just strange and zombie like, it is that we all want to be a part of something or do something interesting. We are just not sure what that is.

Well I think you are doing plenty of interesting things. I am always excited to see what is next on your horizon. So what is next?

My very good friend Peter and I are getting ready to launch a website that will change the way you think about travel...
I think also there are a few other web projects on the horizon as well as possibly another foray into the prison for yours truly. I will be teaching this spring in Rhode Island and am looking forward to that landscape again. So, we will see..

inspired by being back on the east coast and taking breannes amazing print class i realized i need a dose of school again. i just (2 mins ago) enrolled in parsons fashion cert program. i'm pretty stoked because i wanted to brush up on sketching, sewing and rawking out with color so here i go! shout out to my mom. mom + matt = edukation.



mom loves art.

vllg, etc.

(Vllg has a new poster.)

Liv and I totally decompressed with an interTV sess last night. My class is really great, however I'm losing my voice and when I laugh it sounds like a squeak. I feel like I'm living the art camp experience I always dreamed of. We have four or five print projects to knock out in the next few weeks. Cougar cards, biz cards, stationary, and aforementioned valentines. YAYZ.

I'm also considering integorting 30 Rock into my thesis.

beardcap

boogs

so i am making a series of handkerchiefs that i embroider the stains on them.

this was round one, what do you think?

they are pretty terrible pics with a really old digital... but i am pretty stoked on the project.

roomies

i am now totally living in pvd with breanne. i am stoked. we cook and print and eat ice cream a lot. i am taking/t.a.ing her winter session print making class and its totally awesome. the kids in the class keep asking me questions and i keep telling them what i know.
i'm in day two of "marital bliss" and tonight we are concepting for our valentines day cards. we decided to go with a SNIFFIES: how to guide. there will be plenty of this:

del the funkyhomosapien

so i was in california for a couple of extra days styling and constructing the costumes for a del the funkyhomosapien music video. it was totally fun and i got to hang out with a ton of people i love back in cali.

this was the first job in my adult life that i truly enjoyed. i decided to enroll in the parsons certificate program that i've been thinking about so the next music video that comes along can be even better. more pictures to come but here is a small taste.

kyle lee

no joke, i'm totally in love with my friends cousins art. check this ish.



shameless plug

two thousand awesome.

we'll be back next week! liv is in oakland styling a rapper and i'm about to start teaching if we don't get stuck in california due to blizzardtown. not that it'd be a bad thing since we have a few hun hun new year's photoz to edit and such.
