and no matter what that is
I will call you home.
I would like to have that kind of home…
Ever since Joss Whedon’s space western was canceled back in 2003, its fans — at first, a relatively small contingent, but as time and DVD sales grew, so did the ranks swell — have wondered what could possibly rescue it from the tightly clenched jaws of death. And until now, nothing could….

While in the spirit of continuing to update, here’s a log I worked on for the Rebecca Randall Bryan Art Gallery of Coastal Carolina University. Modern, welcoming, clean. First time ever using Futura…
I’ve neglected my Tumblr a good bit, but figured I’d post again, and this time with a design from my new student job (2nd job) for Campus Recreation designing t-shirts for events. I think this turned out quite nice…
Night leaves me again.
Ideas and desires fade
into morning’s light.

Reuben Margolin is a bay-area artist who makes “Techno-Kinetic Wave Sculptures.” Don’t be intimidated if you don’t know what that phrase means, because until I watched the above video, I had no idea either. Basically, Margolin makes sculptures that mimic nature on both a very large and very small scale. As an example, imagine a the spiral wave a canoe paddle makes as it pushes through the water, but blown up 100x larger and made out of a latticework of carved wood beams (or just skip to 1:04 in the video if your brain comes up short on the image like mine would.)
This week’s HSA post. These really blew me away.
“Two years ago, Judy Gelles was volunteering at an inner city public school and was assigned to a fourth-grade class. The school was as diverse as they come with children from African American, Hispanic and Asian immigrants. After several months of helping the students with their reading skills, she felt the need to connect with them on a deeper level. Mostly, she wanted to find out their stories. She asked each student the following three questions: Whom do they live with? What do they wish for? What do they worry about?” (more)

Paper Drop (fan) by german-born photographer Wolfgang Tillmans.
This photographer approaches his art quite differently. He approaches his work in a very abstract manner, as can be seen in the photo above and more so in the photo below.
This picture shows one of his other approaches to image-making that still goes with the other photograph (in the context of his body of work). I don’t know if this piece was done photographically with a camera or just by using photographic processes on light-sensitive paper/material, but it is quite fascinating. My first thoughts were either a chemical process or photographing dye in water, but the latter option seems far too normal for this artist.
