Analog Feedback

Category: Art and Photography

When I spoke the now-iconic phrase "analog feedback loops" in my short film, "You Might Have Seen Me," I wasn't really privy to what feedback was capable of entailing. Now, though, with my Minolta Camcorder, I'm starting to develop an appreciation for the unique potential feedback can offer. Whereas before my VCR getup was only capable of producing a limited range of effects, it can now produce an... » Continue Reading

The Aesthetic Of Public Transportation

Category: Travel and Places

I never really considered, throughout most of 2020 and 2021, just how important public transportation is, what a massive undertaking it is to install thousands of bus stops and bus stops in a city, hire all the drivers to carry those buses around every day, and schedule everything correctly. Public transportation might be one of mankind's greatest achievements, when you consider all the hours of c... » Continue Reading

Creating Static Art

Category: Art and Photography

Static art is art created using any device capable of producing genuine static- you can use a cathode TV for this, a battery-powered clock radio TV also works. The key is that the device is capable of creating random snow. What's particularly interesting about static is that, being the direct result of a signal or a lack thereof, it's never the same twice. If you were to take 200 still frames of y... » Continue Reading

I Sing the Praises of the Shopping Mall

Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping

I've found something strangely enjoyable about going to one of the shopping malls or general business districts in my local area, and just walking around the general vicinity for like 3 hours until I get bored. I'm not sure what it is. I guess malls are just very interesting environments when you get right down to it. These acre-spanning, privately owned megalopolises. In many ways, they might be ... » Continue Reading

On Character Composition

Category: Writing and Poetry

Creating characters in fiction, and giving voices to them, is very satisfying. Upon close inspection, one must consider what characters constitute- whether they are, on a certain level, Classical archetypes, or if they are extensions of the self, or a certain mixture of both. In my case, I believe that many of my characters are extensions and logical progressions of certain views which I hold. Ine... » Continue Reading

How To Approach The Blank Page

Category: Writing and Poetry

I've written two entire 80,000 word novels. That feels surreal, especially since I wrote both of them two years ago. I haven't read either of them in some time, although I'm sure if I revisited them 'd get a kick out of them. Some things about my writing style have doubtlessly evolved since I made my literary debut, while others- my general inflection, my penchant for obscure ephemera, my sentence... » Continue Reading

Poster Composition Is An Underrated Field

Category: Art and Photography

Lately I've been going on a sort of event bender where I try to attend any local event possible. Doing this takes a lot of effort, and I have to keep up to date with all the posters people hang up. While I don't have a calendar, I've printed off some calendar pages for the next two months and I keep them in front of me at all times so I remember where I'm supposed to go to and when. I've found tha... » Continue Reading

Thoughts On Buying Leather Shoes

Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping

For the past few months I've been trying to assemble a wardrobe which I think suits my personality. I found the green hat first, if I recall. It was just dangling off a coatrack. Buy me, it said. Called out to me. The minute I saw it I knew it perfectly suited my mentality. It's mesh and has this intricate spiral of fabric in the middle. It's what they call a straw boater's hat, albeit not made ou... » Continue Reading

Scotch Non-Stick Glue Sticks Are Great

Category: Art and Photography

I've been using these Scotch brand glue sticks for around 3 months now, because I have to glue a lot of stuff together in my line of work. Especially J-cards for compact cassettes. I don't think it would be possible to make them without a handy glue stick. These glue sticks are way different from other glue sticks. I used to hate glue sticks because they would always lump up and leave all these bu... » Continue Reading

A Little Temporal Perspective

Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes

I've always been fascinated by time and the relationship we have with it. Some of this fascination shows up in my work, particularly in Hypnagogic Archive. I find that time is something we often take for granted, even if we're always confined by it and moving through it. Memories are especially bizarre sometimes. I can remember being somewhere or doing something in the past, yet present me is doin... » Continue Reading

How To Use A SplitCam

Category: Art and Photography

I have a SplitCam. You're probably wondering what that is, so I'll elaborate. It's the type of camera I assume has been around for a long while, particularly sold in those old novelty catalogs you'd find in the back of comic books. It's painted half-yellow and half-black, which gives it a sort of contemporary noir look, which was popular in the 90s for whatever reason. It runs on any type of film,... » Continue Reading

Designing A Tarot Deck

Category: Dreams and the Supernatural

So, what you may have heard is true- I'm currently in the process of designing a custom Tarot deck featuring Nicolas Comics characters. This may seem like a pretty easy thing, but it actually requires a good eye to detail, and a ton of patience to get every last card as good as it can be. There are 78 of them, after all, and they should all look great by the end.  The deck I'm going off here is, o... » Continue Reading
