Music: Bobby Charles – I Must Be in a Good Place Now
Music (to get back to work by): Robbie Basho – The Golden Shamrock
I took a brief hiatus from most work for a bit there.. Now back to it full tilt in the new year. I’ve got an illustration job on my plate, a couple new licensing deals in the works, some design work that I’m looking forward to digging into, a couple more commissions to finish up, plus restocking a few vendors, and working on my Omaha exhibit. The year is off to a great start, I must say, not to mention I survived the arctic vortex!
Hori Horo
Music: Peter Lang – As I Lay Sleeping
Current musical obsession: Leo Kottke’s “Anyway” off this same Kottke/ Lang/ Fahey record. The whole record is great. That song isn’t on the Tube, so this one will suffice.
Happy Birthday Gene Clark, Nov. 17, 1944 – May 24, 1991
A fellow midwesterner (Midwest is the Best!). This is one of my all time favorite songs — Gene in collaboration with Doug Dillard.
Random Things/ Inspirations/ New Toys
From one of my walks last weekend.
Current obsession: the medley on side B of The Beatles’ Abbey Road.Newest nerd-out toy (well, software): Logic Pro X to fulfill my needs to make weird music and soundscapes. My mind is heavily on animation & sound right now. Soooon… Soooooon….Plans for not too distant future include building a praxinoscope prototype and a series of silhouette puppets (…meaning, once I’m finished with shows for the year, all signs point to animation & exhibit endeavors).
