  • I’m From Barcelona! No You’re Not!

    Last Thursday I witnessed a show that easily jumps into my top 5 live performances list! For those of you not in the know, ‘I’m From Barcelona’, is an indie-pop group from Sweden with a lot of members. 29 to be exact!. They play music that is so happy it makes you want to cry […]

  • HillmanCurtis Films & Milton Glaser

    A few years ago I stumbled upon HillmanCurtis and their beautiful collection of films. I was particularly interested in their Artist Series films. The Artist Series features some of my favorite artists, such as Mark Romanek, Stefan Sagmeister, & Milton Glaser. I always go back to a couple of these films every few months or […]

  • LIFE! Vending Machine

    Another conceptual piece I’m working on for a big SOLO show in 2009! This is a vending machine, which you will be able to insert any random object, a thought scribbled on paper, or anything else that fits in the slot…Then you’ll get it back! Remember! You GET OUT OF LIFE, WHAT YOU PUT IN! […]

    Familjen a.k.a. Johan T Karlsson, a Swedish techno/electropop artist, has blown my mind with the video for the song ‘Det Snurrar I Min Skalle’. That is Swedish for ‘It’s Spinning Inside My Head’.

  • So Me…So Good

    So Me, the artist who did Justice’s Grammy winning D.A.N.C.E. video done did it again. This time the motion graphics and retro mash-up typography jive to Justice “DVNO”. Somehow So Me has found a perfect balance between cheese-ball pre-set effects and genuinely crafted retro-ish motion graphics. I can’t get enough of the amazing transitions throughout […]

  • Our deepest fear…

    Below is an excerpt from Return to Love, a book written by Marianne Williamson. This was posted on the ANP Blog almost two months ago, but I wanted to post it here, hoping that a few more people would read it. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, Our deepest fear is that […]

  • Thomas Campbell…an inspiration

    The VBS show Hi-Shredability has posted the first of a three part segment on Thomas Campbell. Thomas has long been an inspiration. The natural beauty of his films, the poetic humor within his paintings, and vibrant colors found in his photographs. His overall approach as a contemporary renaissance man is one that I admire. Thomas […]
