Death Cards For Willoughby

Deathcards2

double_u UU sends cards for dead Mexican Kings my way and it made me think how much I’m playing cards these days.  I’ve been spending a lot of time editing Cage with Dave S. and that feels like a poker game half the time.  I’ve also been trying to storyboard Willoughby which feels like a card game too, in the sense of discreet rectangle pictures laid out like solitaire.  More hands to come!

Ticket For Travel

I booked my tickets to Pittsburgh for the Supertrash show at Warhol. Mostly as it seemed too bittersweet a video essay not to make… the X hailing from that steel town turned rusty and post industrial. I’m working on a rotoscope test for zipperhead and I’ve bought myself every size of Sharpie marker to trace frames of video with. The smell of magic marker in the studio is making me nostalgic for my old man with his vast collection of graphic markers all laid out in great runs of sequential shades and colors and he’d be up all night at the drafting table hand drawing mock ups till the wee hours in that glorious vapor. I would watch him some sleepless nights scribbling away up there in the golden glowing triangle of his studio window. Boy I am getting maudlin…. here’s a little Daniel Johnston.
