Band of robots

My friend Ross sent this to me, he saw it over at the MatrixSynth site. YouTube video is via musica95. A band with a robot guitarist? Pretty cool. A band with a robot drummer? Neato. How about a band with a robot vocalist? That’s pretty amazing. This artist (Maywa Denki) has found a way to […]

Ted Stevens / Sufjan Stevens

I thought it would be cool if Alaska senator Ted Stevens and indie-rocker Sufjan Stevens joined forces to form an action hero team. Since I wasn’t able to actually make this happen, I decided to waste some time and do a few sketches of them both. Luckily my brother turned this into something much cooler. […]

Live and Studio setups

I’ve had a bunch of people ask me what gear I use, so I took a couple photos of what I’m using these days. I invariably switch this up to try new things, so maybe tomorrow this will be outdated. I recently sold a lot of the studio stuff that I wasn’t using much. Sold […]

Brushing up on my nerd skills

So I spent the couple days brushing up on my nerd skills, converting my old table-based website into a completely CSS site, learning some PHP and using WordPress to drive the whole thing. I really have avoided learning any new web stuff for the last 5 or so years, so the last two days has […]

stayed up late = new myspace layout

If you’re reading this, you probably already know… but i felt like being a total nerd and pimped out my myspace page. it was kind of a pain in the ass. And i’m positive there are probably other things that are a better use of my time. and i stayed up till 3am working on […]

ffffffff-ing fast

So I got to drive a nascar-style stock car around Irwindale speedway this weekend. ffff-ing shit! that was a ton of fun. no speedos in stock cars so I don’t exactly know my top speed. All I know is that I got around the 1/2 mile track in about 18 seconds per lap. I’m assuming […]

i get to drive in circles for an hour!

I get to drive a nascar-style stock car around Irwindale speedway this saturday. I’m pretty psyched. Somehow I managed to to get myself a free hour at a race school out there. It’s a short track (1/2 mile around) so I won’t be able to get going that fast (maybe 80mph tops) but it should […]
