Shout in Re-Tweet Twitter Video by Alexa Lee General Action | Comments
I was psyched to receive a visual shout (at 1:12) in this terrific claymation Twitter Re-Tweet tutorial, created by talented video artist Alexa Lee. Be sure to check this out and leave comment on Youtube. Thank you Alexa. Incidentally, how did Twitter take this long to create a built-in Re-Tweet functionality... are they unaware of the dozens of parasitic companies harvesting their data for personal gain through better usability?

Painting Process | John Hancock Center from Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago Painting Process | Comments
Sometimes everything comes together, and who doesn't love that. Putting out an APB for new painting locations on Facebook, my good friend Conor McClintock and his lady Crystal offered up their downtown Chicago Carriage House lodgings - drinks included. With a place to stay lined up, I managed to secure a plane ticket for $110 - bully. Finally, there was the critical detail of landing an indoor location with a view. From late 2004 to mid 2006, I worked as a Legal/Development Associate for The Trump Organization. There, I immediately joined the team responsible for financing Trump International Hotel & Tower, ...

Painting Process | Distraction Painting Number One Painting Process | Comments
Andy Warhol used to paint with a record spinning, TV on and Magazines open to eliminate all sense of intent... painting a soda bottle in a way that represented a soda bottle. Jackson Pollock would chain smoke and drip paint in a trans-like state, channeling his emotional current through flicks of the wrist. When I paint locations,I try and let the scene speak to me. After several "rain delayed" days on my most recent bridge picture, I decided to take the Warhol approach and paint, letting the picture happen with minimal conscious control. Fueled with a spread of amazing art books, including ...
