Working out a time lapse setup in my studio. Definitely need some better lighting. The focus issue is my own fault. The monster is a sketch/doodle for an upcoming project. I’ll be posting videos on Vimeo. Follow me there if you’re into it. http://vimeo.com/41167212

The show opens Saturday night at 6pm and will feature Dorian playing an acoustic set from the new album as well as works from amazing people like: 64 colors, Tim Senecal, Chloe Vanessa, Rick Beaupre, Dedleg and many more.

How to start “doodling”
A friend asked me how to get started doodling. Here’s my advice:
- Get a piece of paper
- Get a pencil
- Draw something
- Stop giving a flying fuck what it looks like
- Repeat…
I don’t think I could be happier with the way this guy turned out.
His name is Chad, and he’s the mascot for this great Kickstarter project to develop a set of field guides on research and best practices for designing voting and ballot systems that help insure people vote for the things they intend to.
Please take some time and check it out!
