This is what Damarisland looks like today–tomorrow will be nothing of the sort.

I like Mike DeNicola’s work. Illustrations have been wriggling their way into my chest cavity lately.

Some of my favorite people in this one.

Hot off the press, the newest Damarisland video for you. The piece is named for the Reverend Deadeye song I used as the score. I have been experimenting with stop motion animation. More and more, hearts and hearts. Happy Belated Love-Centric Holiday. Mine was lovely thank you.

The Valentine’s Day benefit was an utter success. Wassaic and WORK Gallery put on quite a show in Red Hook: Hot Toddies, hobo fires, s’mores, pencil drawings of Tom Selleck and tons of other kinds of amazing art. Singer/songwriters playing in parked uhaul trucks and a Damarisland video (a collaboration with Michael Eckblad) displayed in a rusted oil drum. Thanks to Walker, Eve, Bowie and Elan. Here are photos:

I am showing the short video I made with Michael Eckblad at this event: Two Loops and a V. Come on out to Red Hook, Brooklyn and support the art festival!
