Mindbogglingly awesome ideas for art projects

• Erotic Fractals - Chunks of photos of female body parts laid out in complex geometric patterns, (quite obviously) condemning the objectification of women while alluding to the great works of surrealism, op art.
• The above rendered as a sculpture.
• The above rendered as a sculpture but with some references to toys, robots and grocery store products added, ala Jeff Koons, via Warhol.
• The above scaled so as to achieve earthworks scale.
• The above wrapped in canvas.
• Naked children climbing added to the above, ala Led Zeppelin.
• Top down pictures taken of above, ala Google Maps, incorporated via hack-art into said website when you search for "God" or other all-encompassing unlimited art-capable word or words.
• Use of open APIs to add touching and/or disturbing labels to bits of above and/or incorporate data from other websites.
• Video installation demonstrating use of above. Should be given a clever name using words like "Composted" or "Recycled" or "Placenta."
• Dance/musical to be performed under projection of above.
• Cocking of audience eyebrows to be directed towards scary homeless guy masturbating to public performance of above
• as he rants.

Photoshop is bad for you

Almost done

Hasselblad

I got a chance to go out with a friend and take some pictures with her rockin' old school Hasselblad a couple of months ago. I'm going to get some of these printed fairly large (the negatives are 2" x 2"! - suggestions for which ones to print are welcome...), but for now I've uploaded some scans to a new flickr set.

Thanks Tara

iPod mini pocket

I finally got around to making a protective leather case for my iPod mini. After the fiasco of getting it repaired the first time I want to treat this thing like a baby. It's got a belt loop, velcro closure on the bottom and Access Holes™.

Vector painting

I discovered a really fun new way to use Freehand last night: Create a warping image hose that uses a blended object as a source and you can "paint" with vectors. The result I got looks a lot like fingerpainting, except it's completely scalable. Clicking on these will enlarge them in a new window.

Rasterbator

Finally got the poster up I created using one of the best web apps in the world: The Rasterbator, which converts most common web image formats into big pdf files full of dots, which can be printed on standard printers and assembled into posters.

Here's my wall:

New Flickr Pics

I've added some new pictures to my flickr photostream, including this flower porn... as well as some moments of drunken chicanery from my 30th.

Happy

Maybe I'll make this into a t-shirt.

Fence

The Meeting

Here's a new one, not extremely happy with it, but it's kind of fun to let your eyes go out of focus on:
