Almost immediately after the fashion show, tlr and I drove to San Diego to shoot his band’s music video for their cover of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” Brandon Like shot/edited/directed it, and let the 6 of us stay at his place, which was 2 blocks away from the beach! Here’s the finished video:
My VCR hadn’t worked for several months, so tlr and I decided to take it apart and make stop motion animations out of it’s innards! The background was a whole project in itself - several large boxes hot-glued together with regular paper glued/taped on top, which tlr and I were drawing on w/ sharpeys. But we got a little carried away w/ experimental techniques and ended up covering it in oil, destroying all progress we were making w/ the markers…So we painted over it with some blue and yellow paint I had, but still were no longer able to sharpey it. Then it sat around useless for a few weeks until we made this video. And it has been collecting dust ever since…
Well, here are the results ::
“tlr <3 ktb”
“outdated technology makes me sick!”
We discovered pretty quickly that I was more suited to move the pieces, and tlr was better on the camera. Yay for division of labor :)
So I gave up on the Ning idea almost immediately, but it’s a pretty cool site for being a myspace alternative. Now my website will be this, a blog, which will primarily serve as a portfolio, but there will also be a store as soon as I have ~3 hours to get that going… After spending the last five hours (or more) f***ing around w/ wordpress theme css bs on a hot computer, during a hot day, I’m ready for a hot nap. Well, preferably a deep sleep. We’ll see…
I make heavy-metal-post-apocalyptic-weirdo-fairy-tale inspired clothing, costumes, and accessories!
