Is There No Sanctuary?
So a freedom fighter of fair use got smacked in the face a couple of days ago. The Youtube copytright scanners… took him out. Why? Because he dared to look copyright holders in the face with this, this, this, and this? (pingback bonanza!) Groom had doggedly dodged and weaved against claims of copyright violations. But they simply reminded him of…

Electronic Games Animated Magazine Cover
As soon as Jim created this assignment and seeded it with his terrific Famous Monsters of Filmland animated magazine cover, I knew I had to do it. This is cover of the first issue of the fan magazine Electronic Games published in the Winter of 1981. Nightrob has a great set of EG cover art in his Flickr…

Fat Cats Make Better Art History Assignments

Vertigo, Dizzing Educational Awesomeness at UMW
Yes this post is an excuse to show another Alfred Hitchcock animated poster which I made while at UMW’s Faculty Academy (with Rear Window & North By Northwest this makes three, nine to go). But I’m not going to write about the film Vertigo and the designer of this poster Saul Bass. Ok one thing,…

Reorienting My Compass, North by Northwest?
It’s been over a year since I first discovered ds106 and it’s amazing to me how much creative energy I’ve discovered since then – I’ve made more work in the past year than I have in the previous ten, seriously. Ok this isn’t exactly true, I’ve made many things over the past decade, but they’ve…
