Alternative Comics Sound and Visions (Update)

HEY APATHY! SURREAL COMICS

Some new music for the City of Gears timelapse video. This film shows a day in the life of a street painter following a 3.5 hour, 12 x 12 foot mural. The drawing was made on the corner of Queen Street and Soho , downtown Toronto in 2007. I’ve used various different scores for the presentation of this video but, like the animations, have been struggling a lot with sound issues.

I like this track because it was programmed entirely into an old synthesizer keyboard enabling me to add it to the video without any editing or degenerative interference. With my limited technology, or at least limited knowledge there of, I can’t seem to get a professional sounding recording consisting of more than one track.

This loop was created for my animation reel which will be featured at this years Nuit Blanche festival. It worked  so I thought to add it to this video as well. Sort of a theme song, but really it’s the only clean recording I have right now. There will be more. Music by Narsen Osutei, Mark vanZyl, and me.

Here's a panel from the SURREAL WEBCOMIC. Page three, entitled in transit, features a hideous globular orifice consuming unsuspecting subway travellers. One page ever friday over at http://www.heyapthy-comics-art.com/.  Just getting over the flu and have much animating to catch up on so probably not much else of interest til next weeks weird comics tale.

This is page 2 of the new Surreal Webcomic I'm making over at HEYAPATHY. The series is set out as a bunch of one page weeklies that sift in and out of a bizarre and terrifying larger story arc. New oneiric experiments  every Friday ( or early Saturday Night).

HEY APATHY  SURREAL COMICS

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, the quality of my blog posts have been directly related to our strange Torontonian weather. During the summer heat wave I found it difficult to spend time at the computer but got inspired again as the temperatures cooled to a reasonably wam level. However since that time things have been topsy turvey and the temperatures fluctuated between a hot humid forty and a cold wet 25 several times during the course of one week. And like this journal, I was heavily affected by the weather. I have been so sick, fevers, coughs, conjestion, joint pains, you name it. This is the first time I've brought the fever down enough to actually type something. Damn it's tormenting to be ill when there is so much work to be done. New Surreal webcomic post tomorrow regardless of my health.

HEY APATHY! SURREAL COMICS

Made this logo for the HEY APATHY! Surreal Comics Magazine. I've been posting all my new works from 2010 on my website in a sort of chronological yet haphazard manner so now that the year is almost up, I've started to clean up  the webpage and decided to turn it into a Weird Tales style magazine. The magazine features a weekly webcomic, a series of ink drawings entitled Creature Visions and 13 illustrated stories ( I think there are 7 unedited ones postde so far). Thought it would be fun to present t work as such.

I hace been learning to write some html by decoding the codes in the Edit HTML section of this blogger site, then using them to fix the HEY APATHY! homepage. Thus this weird assortment of unrelated text links and photos. I'm just going to leave this as is and call it a post.
