Greetings from Joe Cocker.

Little known fact: This is about how I hear all lyrics, all the time. For some reason, my brain doesn't process singing easily--I hear every instrument, every melody, every beat, but the lyrics just blend together and become another wordless sound.

Perhaps my training as a musician has something to do with it...? Or perhaps I'm just weird. ; )

Ah, Mr. Izzard.

The Wind.

This video made me laugh, although I don't anticipate the wind and I will make peace anytime soon.

New Digital Painting Video

This was my project last week--turning a line drawing into a digital painting. The painting process was done here and there over the course of three days. I inked the drawing by hand, then scanned it in and completed the job using photoshop elements. The video took another day or two. Fast to make, and fun. Hope you enjoy it:

Update:

Here are some still shots of the piece in progress.

All about Ron Mueck:

Ron Mueck is an Australian hyperrealist sculptor. More from Animation Nation:

"His parents were toy makers. He worked on children's television shows for 15 years before creating special effects for the 1986 film Labyrinth.

He then started his own company in London, making models to be photographed for advertisements. Now he's creating on his own and showcasing his work in places such as the Royal Academy, the Millennium Dome in London and the Venice Biennale."

You may have seen his work before:














You can watch a slideshow of his work here, and find his exhibit schedule here. Below is a video detailing his technique:

It transitions rather quickly from one image to the next, but if you can give it your full attention, it's quite mesmerizing.
