The View From Above - sketches by Susan Rudat

one of my favorite flickr discoveries of all time is artist susan rudat, each of her drawings is a unique experience of form, movement & texture. although her style is almost eerily consistent its cartoonish look makes it comforting - but where cartoons lack detail, susan rudat's sketches are filled with it.

Maya Lin's Wave Field & Deja Vous

by coincidence i saw two maya lin exhibits in one week this summer. one at the cooper hewitt design museum's exhibit, Design For A Living World and the other at Storm King Mountain Sculpture Garden. i remember being blown away by her vietnam memorial as a young kid, and it took me a little while to make the connection at the design exhibit. i really couldn't believe it when i found her sculptures at storm king in their indoor gallery by coincidence a few days later, as well as her massive outdoor project. this glass sculpture was indoors and is a good idea of what she is doing, but imagine those waves as mounds of dirt 20 feet high, and covered in grass, resembling rolling waves in a landscape. it's incredible and surreal, check it out, there's no way my explanation nor a cellphone picture of her glass model does it any justice whatsoever:

First Post

Thought I'd start out with a quick explanation: I am a mixed media artist/musician and have been posting songs/images/videos on the web for awhile now. You can check out my art on flickr and find links there to my DJ sets, YouTube channel, and songs hosted on SoundCloud.

I decided it would be a good idea to start compiling them on a single website, hence this blogspot account. Anyway, I'll start out with a track I've been working on recently called "Islands" - like most of my tracks it's a psychedelic inspired instrumental hip hop track (still trying to work out a name for my style haha) inspired by house and minimal/glitch electronica as well as hip hop, trip hop, and jam bands. I'll post more about my influences and ideas in the future.
