wrinkly

i was walking through the city
when a man on the corner stopped me
he told me my shirt was wrinkly
i told him it matched my soul

without a head


we'll march
without a head

our war
will be an empty one

we will define no enemy
we will defend no state

together we'll dance
with dirt on our hands

not knowing
when to stop

we'll march
without a head

stay tuned...

the gift

watch the gift on youtube

alex gets a gift in the mail, and opens it only to discover some very odd contents. the rest of his day is filled with misfortune and horror. the question is, did the mysterious gift cause his downfall?

i created this as part of the reddit gift exchange, to celebrate arbitrary day. to be clear, it's a giant gift exchange that is organized over the internet. i was assigned alex. this movie is what i created for him. he later responded, and suggested that he liked it very much and that he was creeped out by it. i hope a misfortune doesn't go by that doesn't remind him of the gift.

tom's house promotional vhs

watch tom's house promotional vhs on youtube

watch as the lustrious steve mills guides a tour of tom's house, hoping to convince you to enjoy an amazing weekend getaway at this one of a kind location. if the many features of tom's house are not enough to persuade you, then you'll surely be pulled in by the face and voice of steve mills.

created by myself and my closest friends. matt smudz did nearly all of the camera work. i did the editing. dylan gallagher played the magnificent steve mills. and everybody came up with jokes and we all played a role. this may end up being the greatest thing i ever worked on, and that would be okay. the others involved were john main, doug zytko, and chris cole.

de modulaire stijl

see de modulaire stijl nul full size

see de modulaire stijl een full size

mixing art and math, the two pieces combine modular arithmetic and de stijl, the dutch art style. they are two of hundreds of generated pieces.

both were my submissions to the university of michigan - dearborn computer generated mathematical art contest. the former (de modulaire stijl nul) won, and will be printed and framed in the math department of the college. i must give thanks to professor chris novak, who taught me modular arithmetic and number theory, and to piet mondrian who heavily influened this work and my entire views on art and aesthetics.
