Trend Watch



Been wondering about this and thought it was interesting. What wins out - planned obsolescence or the company that tries to innovate first? Does the bandwidth limitation make it a moot point?

think you would have thrown away your b/w tv when color took over?

evolution of a painting




This photo of Erykah "medulla-oblongata" Badu gave me the idea for a similar picture of Mahogany Brown (not Ebony).

ONE DVD, 13 EPISODES, LATE OCTOBER...

Saturday, July 25, 2009

reworks plus sneak title peak



A reworking of Moonbase 12, The Stripper, and The Queen of Harlem was long overdue. For the most part they are still unfinished though.

These will eventually be available as giclee prints, but no telling how long that will take.

Also, next up - what is the Aquaria Countdown? Could it be sister versus sister?

Still needs finishing, here it is anyway.

pizza plus logo equals...

new logo

lips moving, but not synching...



This started out as an Ebony Brown animation; then morphed into a Daredevil newscast on television. The audio was added separately in windows movie maker. I didn't want it to be an all day thing, so I didn't bother rigging a set of talking lips in Animate. The Ebony thing may just turn into a poster for now...

Go Go Ville

A scene from Mahogany's debut inside the famed Go Go Ville on Mack Avenue in Detroit. This violent opening shot (and its assassination of a dancer) caused quite a stir with movie critics and the ratings commission. Needless to say, it was heavily edited upon release.
