I occasionally make tape sculptures and put them around town.

I only have a few pictures online, though.  Check them out:

I like the lady laughing at the tape child. Those are pretty sweet! Is it just scotch tape?

Thanks! The laughing lady is my accomplice.  And yes, they are only scotch tape.

This is what the pros can do:

Also, I sometimes do things in a band:

Those are beautiful! I was not aware of this scotch tape phenomenon.

Another plug for another friend. My dear friend John directed a music video for the band O'Death this summer, and it's going to be on MTV2 this sunday  night/monday morning at 1 am. So if anyone has nothing to do at 1am on a monday morning AND gets MTV2, they should watch, and give it some hits, or whatever they call it when people watch tv. I am without tv because i am out in the sticks. someone cover for me!

This is the video:

I'm in it actually, in the background somewhere (orange feather in my hair). There's a really horrifying closeup where I laugh maniacally, and it looks like I'm wasted, but it's just because my friend nick was making me laugh. But yeah, we all worked really hard puppeting those skeletons and doing the stop motion for the rowboat, and my kitchen table even has a guest spot in the saloon.
John deserves lots of plugs because he's very talented so I'm linking to his website as well

Great stuff!

Swiss: if I am not broke in the immediate future, I will buy one of your necklaces.

Beth: that video is awesome, and you don't look wasted or maniacal at all, just a happy laughing person.  And yeah, Salvage Vanguard has great flyers.  They used to be known for their "I Hate Theater" bumpers stickers, second only to WFMU stickers in giving a car hipster cred in my book.

No Und: I love those tape sculptures and have seen the on the internets before, maybe through StumbleUpon?

I've been trying to teach myself Adobe After Effects for the last month or so, and tonight I finally understood how reverse motion tracking works.
So now I can do this! (Sort of!)

Is that you?  Is the Adobe After Effect something you ingest?

You just get cuter and cuter, Dorvid.
