TESLA COIL PERFORMANCE COMING TO CLEVELAND

I'm heading to Cleveland, dear friends! I'll be working on this year's science-meets-art Ingenuity Festival, unleashing July 10-12. I'll be with my friend Ian Charnas, putting on an amazing new performance piece entitled: "Tesla Orchestra". It's a music/dance/puppet chunk of entertainment all revolving around a Tesla coil: a kind of giant music playing electricity conductor. Here's video of one in action:

Ours will be a full on, punch your face entertainment spectacular that climaxes in, oh I DON'T KNOW, A GIANT ROBOT FIGHT. I'll be posting more info as it comes.

FOOD PARTY UPDATE - IT'S TOTALLY GOING TO BE ON.

You've been wondering where I've been, blog-wise, for the entire month of April? (You have not been wondering this.) Well my friends, I've been busy as a bee: taking the pollen of my talent to the hive of a television studio, and "vomiting" it into a delicious honey of a show.
FOOD PARTY, led by uber-talented (and Paper Magazine-named "beautiful person") Thu Tran is officially premiering on the Independent Film Channel June 9th, 11:15pm. We did six BRAND NEW episodes, and are pound of five of them! (We are proud of all of them)
SO TUNE IN, and you can learn more at foodparty.tv , or visit our old You Tube channel, and catch up on the past. HERE.

ABC-z

I did a quick series of ABC posters for schools. Some kid, stuck at a desk, is going look at these A LOT. You will never in a million billion years figure out what letters they represent.

The show's over. Sorry.

Silly little poster for my friend Rebecca's band.

Happy Valentine's Day.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! Enjoy your loved one. Unless you don't have a loved one. In which case, just drink until you think of someone who COULD be your loved one. Give them a call, they'll love it! VIVA AMORE!

Bonnaroo needed slave labor

A couple weeks ago, I got to help out with production company Ghost Robot's animated sequence for the Bonnaroo festival this year. By "help out", I mean cut paper with X-Acto Blades for eight hours a day. All of THIS is cut paper animation, shot though thirteen layers of glass (no computer assist) Check it out, it is AMAZING:

My hands ache looking at it, the way Grandpa's hands ached when it would rain, or when you pushed bamboo skewers under his nails.

FOOD PARTY ON IFC

- Food Party -

I've had a lot of people asking about the psychedelic half-puppet cooking show I co-write and direct for, Thu Tran's FOOD PARTY.
(If you don't know about Food Party, then you can learn all about it at your local public library, OR here: www.foodparty.tv)
Last month marked our fourth episode release party at the Monkeytown screening room in Brooklyn. (www.monkeytownhq.com ) The newest episode involves the soap-opera antics of love and death between your lovable host, Thu Tran, and her lover (played by a piece of bread).

If someone had offered us to do Food Party as a for-honest-to-God television show, I would have thought they were some sort of disguised evil troll, trying to steal our souls and gold. "Riddle-me-dee! A show all for me!" The troll would gloat. BUT WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN? We got a guaranteed non-troll offer to do just that. Due to a lot of blood, sweat and gumption, Food Party will soon be filming a number of BRAND NEW episodes for the Independent Film Channel. Pre-production begins in early March, and should be wrapping in May. This is a very big venture for everyone involved, we are really excited. I'll keep you as updated as I feel like!
