"Arboretum" and Petrie Dishes

First off:



...yeast infection! (All the women in the room, repeat after me:) "YIKES!"



I just shot these- making sure they make some sequential sense before I shoot them outdoors. First time i've painted cutouts with out checking first with pencil sketches and a light box that the images work after one another. Anyways... really hardly worth posting. Hopefully future project incorporating the petrie dish idea will be worth watching. (I like how the ants in the frame make the video look like film! Maybe I'll do something with that...)

Also, I've been really into "Arboretum" by David Byrne (yes, that David Byrne) that I picked up at "Family" in LA (great great great comix/other neat things bookstore):



Really great pencil drawings of often vegetation-like maps of how seemingly unconnected things connect. It's the sort of thing I saw and went, "Wait, didn't I do this already? Well, now I don't have to do it!"
