Organic Experience

So, in a semi-desperate need to do something creative (Desperate as in DESPERATE, semi as in I'm a lazy bastard) I was fooling about with my Wacom.

I was just trying to draw some organic curves and some fluid motions and stuff.
Something natural, possibly plant or mould-like.
Lots of flowing lines.
Almost scribbles.

I pissed about on several layers and overlapped stuff.

Then I took to using the stamp tool, and just clowningcloning around. *cymbal crash*
I'm quite pleased with the result.
Nothing was planned, and I had minimal control over my motion, just generally clicking and dragging without too much thought or effort.

The result is as such;


Nothing too amazing, a bit similar to some stuff I've done in the past, but it's something.

However... whilst looking at what I'd spontaneously made closer, I noticed these;

hidden away within the picture;

along with a few more(obviously repeated in the cloning).
I'm quite impressed.
Well, it doesn't take much for me these days ;)

'Monthly' Mixtape 06 'July' 05

Yeah, yeah, you know the drill.
Excuses excuses blah blah blah.
Blatantly made this tape today, 4 days before the end of August, but yup; it's July's offering.
Well technically I was one cassette ahead becuase I made 2 in March, so I could well retcon everything and start on track next month freshly... we'll see.

I am Jack's psychotic episode.

This is the state of me lately. No energy for effort. The pipers are piping and the walls are crumbling down. I travel for 2 hrs a day, work for 10, cook/eat for 1, wash for 1, watch mindless crap on tv for 3, and 'sleep' for the rest. I have 2 days off a week; 1 which i spend sleeping and eating - trying desperately to get some energy, and the other hard refreshing on a pc, in desperate need of mental stimulation. This is my life, and it's not ending.

CELLAR DOOR SIGNS WITH AMERICAN McGEE

Cellar Door Publishing has announced an agreement signed with The Mauretania Import Export Company (TMIEC), a Los Angeles based videogame, film, and television production company, have signed an agreement to publish graphic novels based on the American McGee properties: Bad Day LA, American McGee’s Oz, and American McGee’s Grimm.

After beginning his career at is Software, McGee is probably best known as the creator of American McGee’s Alice a Tim Burton meets Jhonen Vasquez style (read: so not Disney) take on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. In the game Alice, now a disturbed young woman, returns to Wonderland after her parents are killed, only to find the realm dark and threatening – a place where she must confront her own fears and the Queen of Hearts.

McGee has said in interviews that his life’s mission is “to create a unified production method for story telling across the interactive and film industries." To these ends, McGee has pushed his more recent productions, American McGee’s Oz and American McGee’s Grimm into film before the games are completed, due in part to frustrations with game companies wanting established market names (i.e., sequels to popular games or media tie ins). Alice (which sold over 1 million copies for the PC) is already in pre-production with Sarah Michelle Gellar slated to star in the title role for Universal.

McGee’s latest game, Bad Day L.A. is due for release on PC and Xbox in early 2006.

The graphic novels will be concieved by McGee, and written by other creators. Bad Day LA will be based on the stories and characters in the upcoming game, while Oz will incorporate the dark, stylized and edgy elements of McGee’s vision, and Grimm follows in the tradition of the American McGee brand by bring to life a children's fairytale world in a twisted style and manner.

“We’re very excited to work with American and TMIEC,” stated Cellar Door publisher Jade Dodge in a release. “American has created worlds filled with endless possibilities for writers and artists. His properties are also a perfect fit for this medium. American McGee fans and fans of comic books in general are going to be pleased with what we have in store.”

“Cellar Door has taken on three projects that are dear to me,” said McGee. “Graphic novels are a natural extension into the stories I develop and build. Graphic art drives each and every one of the stories that I write, from the character concepts to the environment sketches, each new project becomes a fount of imagery. I am excited, and I think fans will be too, that Cellar Door is going to open this flow of imagery to the outside world, and in the best way possible.”

Plans call for the releases in the first half of 2006.
