Hello fellow cat on the internet ++

Thank you very much!

any rhyme or reason to your captions?

I make art, my mind wanders, I feel things, I caption pieces as such.

Hey dude. You may have already answered this at some point. But I was wondering what software you use to create?

Hi Gavin, thanks for writing in.

I use a variety of iOS software for still images, including Glitché, iColorama, and Decim8. For motion work, I use the video synthesizer app Lumen, GlitchGIF, GIF Brewery, CoGe, Syphon recorder, and FCPX. 

I have a variety of other posts answering similar questions under the process tag.

I love how committed to you're art you are. Did you find building a fan base encouraged you to create more?

Ah, thanks for the compliment. I sincerely enjoy the random interactions and ephemera the internet spawns. For the most part, we are all weird good eggs here. I like doing things to see what happens next, and a fan base/the internet/random encouragement always helps me try to find out what comes next.

how do you do these? x

for me, the how and why are interconnected. here are some thoughts off the top of my head. 

i work on all of these, usually in lieu of sleep. i try to take negative energy and turn it positive. i utilize mobile technology and a rapid this-not-that methodology. i try to stay open to new ideas. ultimately, everything i post here is in conversation with you, dear viewer. 

i have a post pile further detailing my process over here. thank you for writing in!

I really love living in suspension vol 1. Like I love all your work but that one speaks to me

Thanks Brian! I can’t wait to post more from that series. I’ve got some good, tranquil memories buried in every one.
