black and white spinners
kind of what its like to be on acid
holy shit
mmmm moving earth
The reason why things look like this on LSD is because you are processing light and information a 100x faster than “normal”.
Fuck yes
This is exactly what acid feels like.

More like “Infinite Render Time”, this design took about 12 design iterations, each costing 36 hours of render time. I had originally intended for this to be one of the designs in my art exhibition at UMOCA, but sadly, the final problem free render completed just hours after the exhibition started.
Inspired almost completely by "LIGHTS" by Michal Dzierza, this is probably one of the designs that I’ve felt the most attached to as I worked on it. Sadly, through that attachment, I made myself feel terrible through my disappointment over how it came out less than perfect for so many iterations in a row. Creating art is really important, but it’s more important for us to remember that we don’t deserve to torture ourselves when a good outcome takes time, or when a good outcome for a certain design or idea doesn’t come at all.
The craziest thing about this design is, the instant I let go of my attachment to this piece, I was able to bang out a brand new design in just one hour, named “11th Hour Hawtness”. That piece was my 12th and final design for the show, and my personal favorite design in the show. Moral of the story here kids - Don’t let your attachment to anything become something which wounds you. If it does, let go of that thing, that person, that idea, whatever it is - and let yourself use that time and energy to do something new with yourself. The very next thing which comes along may be the most amazing experience you have in a great while - but you’ll never have the chance to live that if you don’t free up the time for it.
For any of you wondering how the opening night of the show went - it was awesome. I think that more of the museum’s patrons were there for the interpretive dance performance going on in the later part of that evening, but it was super exciting to see so many people directly interacting with my art by scanning the QR codes for each design and checking out the art that had inspired me while I was creating those 12 pieces. I played PROTODOME’s first 4 albums in the background in the lobby. I’m excited to see what kind of reviews the local art blogs and critics will post about the exhibit.
For any of you living in, or visiting the Salt Lake City area between now and October 16th, 2014 - please stop by UMOCA and take a look at my work there, I’m really proud of it, and I’d love to know what you think! :D

Early this summer @admiralpotato got an email from the UMOCA (Utah Museum Of Contemporary Art) proposing the idea for an exhibit of gif titled “Exit Through the .Gif Shop.” The show quickly started to build momentum and soon I was invited to show as one of the contributors. This is the first of a series of 12 gifs that where hung at Umoca from October 18th to November 13th. To date, I must say, being invited to show in this exhibit has been one of my favorite honors. Enjoy. and let me know what you think will ya?
Looney Loops (a study in color banding)

Too many hue ranges will cause a lot of color banding in the limited color palette a GIF, but sometimes when you get the right color mix(es), you have to take that inspiration and run with it regardless of the imperfections introduced by those artifacts. This design was inspired by "Believer" by Jen Stark.

Q*bert Club - 0

This was design number 2 of 12 in my exhibit at UMOCA. The inspiration for the materials and colors in this set came from a beautiful photo of some fantastic architecture at a night club. More in this set to come.
This image is one in a set named “Q*bert Club”, a series I designed for my exhibition at the Utah Museum Of Contemporary Art (UMOCA) which ran from September 19th until October 16th, 2014.
