this is a painting i made for the genki project. it hangs in the hall where naked people hold out their sawed open skulls offering brains.
I was really surprised to find this on an old harddrive recently. This is an image I made way back in 2003 of the words to Squarepusher’s song Red Hot Car. Using the waveform - I chopped up the text of the lyrics to match with the chopped up vocals.
Im suspicious of anyone who says they got ideas from a dream (fact: 99% of the time they’re lying - and you can see it in the work). However, one night in berlin i woke up and painted this guy as fast as i could. This freaky bastard haunted the living shit out of me in a nightmare, and i was sure that by painting him I would have come up with the scariest character ever. He had a small human skull, a giant beak, and long feathers coming out at each side, with shorter ones coming out underneath. Im not sure if it’s scary, but its pretty close to whatever my brain came up with that night.
when i lived in italy, around early 2006 i guess, i was biking around the countryside and found this dead duck lying beside a stream and decided to draw him.
I asked my twitter followers to think of fake 90’s software names using the hashtag #90ssoftware - the results were hilarious - but then it started trending worldwide and the joke was lost to the masses. LOST! soooo….I salvaged some of the great early examples for future generations. May they be forever remembered.
Friends - yesterday, out of minddumbing boredom I invented a game called SCRAPPBLE. It’s really easy - you arrange your app icons (on your desktop or phone) to make words. You can win internet points by playing - one for each letter, doubled by the use of multi-letter icons.
It took off on twitter and I created this special tumblr to collect them all.
Happy Scrappbling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some pictures I did to decorate the “old folks home” set… these were effectively ”drawn” in polygon shapes - no bitmap textures were used in the entire film.
