PUBLIC SCHOOL

Fresh Guacamole

Director PES has created this fantastic short animated film that reflects a common annoyance of Guacamole fans everywhere. It’s a great concept that is wonderfully executed. Check it out after the jump.

Better Together

On the verge of SXSW, I imagine most of you are storing up on sleep and over-hydrating in preparation for late nights and a two week diet consisting only of free beer and liquor (and an occasional breakfast taco if you’re lucky).  So, since you’ll be good and rested, kick off this SXSW with a good old fashioned dance party… in the middle of the street!  No RSVP needed, no guest lists, no cover…just grab a boombox and have fun. (details after the jump)

Beauty Is Embarrassing

The world of Wayne White is a place I want to experience. He’s worn many hats such as a painter, sculptor, cartoonist, puppeteer, set designer, art director, animator, and illustrator. He created and voiced Randy among many other contributions to Pee Wee’s Playhouse. I find his attitude and approach to making extremely contagious.

All of this energy and humor is captured in Neil Berkely’s documentary, Beauty is Embarrassing, which will premier at SXSW next Saturday! Go check it out. Below you can see the incredible trailer and some of Wayne’s paintings.

The 90′s

I just had a major 90′s flashback after sifting through the 48 picture collection of 90′s nostalgia that Buzzfeed has pulled together. Of all 90′s things, I think this America Online screen grab may sum up that decade for me more than any other.

American Photo Feature

DJ Stout of Austin’ Pentagram Austin recommended to the editors at American Photo that they feature my work in their One To Watch feature recently. I’m excited that they obliged. In the current issue, they’ve featured a backstory on how I got in to photography through a rough stint in politics, and the projects I am currently working on. You can see a high resolution version of it here if you’d like to read the story. Thanks DJ!
