Chaotic Beauty

There not much that can be said about the "grotesque" that hasn't already been mulled over with excessive discourse. Yes you can find beauty in it and yes it conjures more intense emotions... A friend of mine sent me this website of a German artist. While I'm not convinced that the words "limited and digital" should be in the same sentence, I am convinced of the shear intensity of this work. From Tim Borgmann's website: Since the mid ninties I have been working mainly as a freelancer in the area of 3D graphics/illustration and animation. Besides my commercial work I spend my time on different personal art projects. While working on art projects, I see image creation as a dialouge between the nascent image and myself. Sometimes the image influendes my work by itself, leads my towards its own direction. Sometimes it's just me, pushing the image into the form I want. Although I tend to be someone who must have total control on every aspect of the creation process, it's very interesting to take a step back and let the image take over some control. Some of the images are available as high resolution limited edition prints. You will find more information under limted edition prints

new aNYthing tee

I thought this tee deserved some recognition. Made me laugh.

Samhain was in Brooklyn Saturday...

So Yeah, I am well aware that All Hallow's Eve is in reality Tuesday night. That being said, I'm moving Tuesday night into my new apartment and we decided to celebrate this pagan holiday on Saturday [along with most the people in the country]...
We went to the Mad Suspect Halloween Party. Some really great costumes - Eazy E, Eddie Munster, Sashimi, ect. Patrick's got some more pics on his blog, but here are a few shots from night that I took.

Blah

Blah

What's heavy, hot, sweaty and blinks really fast?

Give up?... Trouble and Bass again next Saturday. This shit pops off till the wee hours, so roll in around 12 or so - bring ya moves and ya smiles. T&B brings you the best Baltimore Club, Dubstep, Anthems and Hip Hop - Drop the Lime, Star Eyes, Zach Shadetek and Passions bring it like no one else in the burroughs. See ya there! [p.s. don't drink the red Ginsing Drink]

And again...

... I've been working on some more models and renderings. The newest one is a model of a staircase that's going in the penthouse of a project in Chelsea our office is working on. The client wants the stair to be open and well-lit without the use of lighting fixtures. We decided to recess the handrail and since the stair width is under 40" we only need one... Inside this recessed handrail, we've added some LEDs. These along with the stair lights [small, pin-hole LEDs] are the only lighting going in the stair. With high GI settings, all I have in the space is one sky illumination volume and one sun light. There are no other lights. The renders took a while with a diffuse depth of 6 and a max ray resolution of 450. All in all, they seem pretty crisp. Take a look...
