Gray days - an mf dalí creation

Another MF DALÍ collage finished! I try and let the collage make itself, I’m merely the hands that place together the art that was meant to be.

MF DALÍ STOP MOTION

I started saving pieces from a bunch of my MF DALÍ collages to animate and this is what happened…

I dream in dalí

Took my first MF DALÍ collage out for a walk because it’s time to tell the whole story of the project. I had no idea how far I’d run with this project when it started and I still have big plans for its future.

Ancient greek timelapse character

Started a new collection of art made with Ancient Greek pottery and this character was my first paper adventure. Still have quite a few Greek pottery images left so we’ll see what happens next…

Rural MF DALÍ SPACECRUISE

Took one of my MF DALÍ collages on a field trip because that’s the kind of stuff I do…

Third Eye Amplified … TiMelapse art

This collage still kinda freaks me out but it poured out of me so I had to make it. An interesting break from the Dalí collages that I’m guessing I’ll get back to very soon.

Space collage timelapse

Captured the process of the space background I use in my diorama art and set it to Dilla. I made this all on my iPhone as usual.

My First Two Stop Motion Attempts

TheRingOfDOOM project started out as a failed stop motion endeavor back in 2016 and I’ve only recently begun to tackle that storytelling technique again in the last few months. I’ve started a YouTube playlist of my stop motion animation that has remained at two videos for far too long but I’ll get on that later today. Since I dream very big, this endeavor quickly became overwhelming because someone offered to pay me to make them music videos for their recent EP which I turned into a five part series about climate change… a huge jump from thirty seconds of a swimming Dalían fish. He even said it didn’t need to be an enormous endeavor but I tend to lean toward super extra giant never-ending projects (music video encyclopedia etc.) so it escalated quickly to the point of a false start. I’ve declared today to be one of the days in which I get back to work on it and will hopefully be able to share the results of my labor of art very soon. I did make a bunch of collaged waves and a big outer space background for the cardboard box movie set so I’m not starting from zero.

This first stop motion animation video was made the longest way possible on iMovie before I realized the Stop Motion app was much more user-friendly and 10x faster for this purpose. It’s pretty anti-climactic as TheRingOfDOOM is just hoverboarding across a Dalían sky but I’m grateful to have learned so much while making it and the background remains to be one of my favorite collages from my #MFDALÍ collection.

This second stop motion animation was made with a few different Dalí images and my own collection of pink pieces of paper from magazines etc. I quickly escalated this in my mind to the point in which I wanted to recreate the epic timing of the walk in Michael Jackson’s The Way You Make Me Feel video via Dalían collage which is a seriously huge overwhelming jump. I often forget to be kind to myself by taking one step at a time and tend to leap into the abyss of my own creativity even though it usually ends up with me feeling disappointed in myself for not accomplishing something unreasonably difficult. Writing this down is a great step in not doing that next time. Can’t wait to see what I finish next…

My First 3D Resin Art Creation Video

One of the 1,111 ideas I have yet to develop is making videos to show you how I make my weird collage resin art. This was my first attempt I completed a few weeks ago. I didn't post it because I know I can do better but as a wise mentor I've never met once mentioned, showing your progress is key. These videos will get infinitely more interesting if/when I actually put myself in front of the camera. My favorite thing about this video is that I'm pouring the resin on the belt buckle I've been wearing every day since the resin cured... the same one the Hirshhorn Security Guard told me he liked more than most of the art in the museum.

Amongst others, this playlist includes videos from Banksy, D*Face, Shepard Fairey, Ten Hundred, Voxx Romana, Joe Nix, Roa, and many, many more. The following are a few of my favorites.
