<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the heart of Squish Brain is the depiction of "creation and process." "History of the Title Sequence" by Jurjen Versteeg depicts this perfectly. The images and sound in this piece are visceral and piercing. Here's my new poem inspired by this meta title sequence: "Art is art, before it's art, and it's the best part, the art." That's some Mr.Miyagi nonsense. That's what I would tell my students, if I had students, and I was a teacher. I'd drop </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">nonsense like that on them all day long.</span></div>

I went digging for more of his work and found a gem called "Soft Pianist." While I've been working Squish Brain, I've kept my eyes glued to keystone inspirations, and this man is now a keystone, and my eyes have become one with him. He's my new comedy fav. I need this man's face on an oversized button, so that I can wear it around town. But it needs to be a button the size of my face. Then I'll get a nose ring, and use my new found nose hole to pin my "Weinbach Face" button to my own face. That's a badass plan! I think I just pushed fandom past the creepy point and back to love again. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><object width="640" height="441" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="ep"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://i.cdn.turner.com/v5cache/TBS/cvp/teamcoco_drupal_embed.swf?context=teamcoco_embed_offsite&videoId=17821"><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"><embed src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/v5cache/TBS/cvp/teamcoco_drupal_embed.swf?context=teamcoco_embed_offsite&videoId=17821" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" bgcolor="#000000" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="441"></embed></object><br /><object style="height: 390px; width: 640px" width="640" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_sYQeIO6Wyg?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_sYQeIO6Wyg?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="360"></embed></object>Darren Pasemkohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15446888748863835715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267700938446963695.post-11589460147104569902011-08-20T21:41:00.000-07:002011-08-20T21:55:46.767-07:00BOOOOOOOM!<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/26838680?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=969696" width="580" height="326" frameborder="0"></iframe>

<br /><div>I found this documentary video on Chad VanGaalen on <a href="http://www.booooooom.com/">Booooooom</a> c/0 Lifetime Collective. I'm down with Boooooom's curatorship. It's so bullshit, (meaning I like it so much, so much, that it is not good enough to say "great," or "fantastic," I need to call it bullshit, just to shock you, just to let you know how much I love it). I'm also down with VanGaalen. He's been a "note" on my inspiration board throughout the writing of Squish Brain.</div>Darren Pasemkohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15446888748863835715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267700938446963695.post-46719898938077684322011-05-03T11:43:00.000-07:002011-06-09T14:49:45.714-07:00Will Forte's Dream State<div style="text-align: justify;"><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/23215898?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0"></iframe></div><p style="text-align: justify;">A wonderful man named <a href="http://www.thebathwater.com/">James Braithwaite</a> asked me to help him invent a Will Forte dream.

Similar to finding a musical loop that you can listen to forever, these sparse gif animations can be watched into infinity. These are frozen moments that only so slightly come to life. They remind me of the feeling you get watching animatronic puppetry, or looking into holographic photos. These gifs are more tuned into the nostalgic feelings you have about movies, than actually re-watching the movies themselves.</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table>Darren Pasemkohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15446888748863835715noreply@blogger.com
