I didn't want to post here about it until everyone could see it in all it's glory, so it's technically old news, but a user theme I created for Subsonic Radio finally went live today. Subsonic Radio is a site that hosts and streams virtually every bit of Disney-related audio imaginable, with a very active forum for fellow enthusiasts and nostalgia-junkies. The site is owned and primarily operated by one Subsonic himself, who added an additional layer of user-interaction to his site by allowing visitors to develop and submit their own themes. The first link in this post should load the site with my theme in place.
Five years ago today, celebrated American writer Hunter S. Thompson, best-known as the originator of Gonzo journalism and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," took his own life by way of self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head, under the strain of numerous painful medical conditions. Five years later, his legacy continues to thrive in film like "The Rum Diary," television like "The Venture Brothers," journalism like "Rolling Stone," and modern art like (among others) my own tribute piece titled "Bat Country."
I've been watching ABC's LOST since day one, and while I'm not always a step ahead of the story, I do consider myself a big fan -- Especially of Terry O'Quinn's Emmy-Award-winning character, John Locke. The last season started on the 2nd, which reminded me after the long break how influential a character he was. Not just in the context of the story, but myself personally. I've always identified with his uniquely conflicting outer solemnity and inner turmoil.
I just listed a new item in my Etsy store -- Upcycled notepads. Constructed (almost) entirely out of materials destined for the wastebasket; I made 7 pads with approximately 75 sheets each, 3"x3" (same size as Post-It notes), glue-bound, with a custom stamp on the back of my logo intertwined with the universal sign for recycling. All of them have similar content but are truly one-of-a-kind.
Happy new year! Hope 2010 is off to a good start for you. I took some time earlier this week to get back to good old fashioned pencil-to-paper drawing, culling inspiration from one of my personal favorite sources, "Star Wars." Uploaded to the Illustrations section of my portfolio, the new piece is a stylized interpretation of what Admiral Ackbar would look like in his "true" form: (very) fresh calamari!
