If Looks Could Kill - Graphic Art & Design

This site houses my personal lowbrow art. By day I am gainfully employed, so this is an outlet for my more esoteric ideas.

I post extensively on topics of personal intrigue: Art, Animals, Ethics, Equal Rights, Dualism, Psychology, Sexuality & the Subconscious - the same things that drive my art.

In reference to the “Nightmare Girls” name - it’s after a project, an ongoing series, portraits of beautiful and intense women.

While you’re here, satisfy your morbid urge to gaze in my gallery.

Embedded below is the 1st computer animation I’ve seen of a human that is not distracting in its articiality.

Can this be claimed as a victory over the uncanny valley? Mind you, it’s completely built on underlying footage of actors - they can’t create new scenarios from scratch.

It’s essentially tracing - Image Metrics has developed an effective and efficient means of digitizing actors and it is well executed.

“If death had a sound, this was it.”

Scientists were fascinated by the ghostly find: a human skeleton buried in an Aztec temple with a clay, skull-shaped whistle in each bony hand.

The audio is unreal.

Repo! The Genetic Opera was supposed to have been released April 25th, containing Bill Moseley and Skinny Puppy’s Ogre.

Now listing a release date of 08/08/08 on IMDB, it annoys me that this wasn’t released.

Is Lion’s Gate scared? It’s rumored that they’re dousing their drawers over the fact that it’s all singing, no dialogue.

C’mon, they unleased that Sweeney Todd turd (which had some redeeming qualities - visually, NOT the singing) and it managed to flourish.

Great synopsis of Repo here.

Found this analogy interesting: “The meaning of life. A unified field theory. The big reason why.”

The earth, he’d say, is just a big machine. A big processing plant. A factory. That’s your big answer. The big truth.

Think of a rock polisher, one of those drums, goes round and round, rolls twenty-four/seven, full of water and rocks and gravel. Grinding it all up. Round and round. Polishing those ugly rocks into gemstones. That’s the earth. Why it goes around. We’re the rocks. And what happens to us - the drama and pain and joy and war and sickness and victory and abuse - why, that’s just the water and sand to erode us. Grind us down. To polish us up, nice and bright.
