TimeLapse Video set to song called "Till Love comes down"

Created a time lapse video of the creation of my latest painting . It is set to a song by Andy Santospago . His new song called “ Till Love comes down “ also be sure to stay on the video because Dylan shows up in a bunch of the footage towards the end especially around 4:40, also the music stops towards the end and then picks up again so make sure you see the whole thing 😎

Apocalypse WTF

About a Year Ago , I had an Idea for a crazy animation tilted "Apocalypse WTF" . So I approached Andy Santospago and asked him to cover Johnny Cash's tune "When the man comes around".

He recruited Greg Klyma and together they did a stellar cover. Amazing guitar work and sound editing by Spago and strong haunting vocals by Greg....now all I needed was someone to help me put all my animation together and Ed Guild did a great job with video editing. I am so lucky to have such talented friends who will help me with my crazy ideas , no questions asked.

please check out the video on you tube

 

 

Original Animation of an Apocalyptic battle between Demons , Aliens, and planet earth! Very cool music too.

The Martini

I love to paint and draw Martinis , They are just so fun . I think if i was alive during the middle ages it would be my sigil for my house!!! 

Cosmic alignment

As night descended on Patriot place , and the Neon light flashed on. I realized that the Neon Martini from the bar diagonally lined up with the martini in my painting. My friend Josh remarked when I told him about this occurrence  "Now that's some next - level Juxtaposition"
